Another burger place? Why, yes. A couple of days ago, me and some friends ate at Zark’s Burgers. This is a newly-discovered place by my friends who studies at DLS-CSB where the burger joint can be found. I’m not quite sure if it’s a new or old place, as I don’t have anyone to ask while I’m writing this review early in the morning. Anyway, since this is located at Taft, it’s a pretty far journey from home. However, what made me decide to tag along was their insurmountable challenges that the place offers, to foreshadow everything.

First off, Happy New Year to my readers. Thank you very much for visiting, and I appreciate all current and more future visits. I know me and Beloved aren’t really professionals or anything, using only our cellphone cameras to take photos and my lengthy or Beloved’s chirpy writing, and we just do this for fun (and maybe some loose change). Still, we appreciate it that you find time to read our reviews, and we promise to take time to do more, and then some.

The other day, me and my friends decided to spend our college week celebration at SM North. After exploring the 3 buildings of the mall, we decided to eat at The Old Spaghetti House which is one of my family’s favorite restaurants. That and my friends weren’t in the mood for Japanese. The Old Spaghetti House obviously specializes in pasta, plus they have a wide variety to choose from. They have pastas in specialty sauce, white sauce, red sauce, plus other unique pasta dishes. You can also substitute the paste with fettuccine (flat noodles), penne (cylinder-shaped), or angel hair (also known as Capellini, which means very thin hair) for an additional (10.00php) or the whole wheat spaghetti pasta for (25.00php).

Beloved and I ate at Mr. Chow last night. This Chinese Chowking clone can be found at a somewhat hidden corner where Sbarro and Red Ribbon is located, at the first floor of the City Center of SM North EDSA just across the Hypermarket. This place used to be where Mann Hann was, if I’m not mistaken, and I find it a bit funny that it’s replaced by another Chinese resto.

Yesterday, Beloved and I had lunch at Army Navy. We always pass this by at SM North EDSA’s Sky Garden, and I always get teased by the sight of the three-patty three-quarter pound burger they humorously call the “Bully Boy Burger”. Sadly, every time we pass by, we’re either too full or are just really passing by. I did get mixed reviews here, but they all agree that the B.B.B. is big as advertised. Finally, we got the chance the other day for some reason.

On the same day we ate the notorious Lechon Pizza from Pizza Hut, me and my friends continued on and had dinner at Kanin Club with a larger company. I’ve heard plenty of positive feedback from this place, but was never inclined to try it because of the first word. I’m not a rice lover, period. Because of the name, I expected rice to be the specialty. However, a friend insists that the Crispy Dinuguan here is a must try. And because it was a pretty large company, I decided to tag along.

Me and my friends ate at SM North EDSA’s Pizza Hut Bistro for lunch the other day. I know I said I wouldn’t blog about popular restaurants such as this one as there’s basically a Pizza Hut on every other main street of Metro Manila. However, this instance is special. We went there for their Christmas season promotion: the Lechon Pizza.

When we had breakfast at Marina, Beloved and I noticed that a nearby place also serves breakfast-all-you-can at a competitive but a bit more expensive price. A couple of months later, we get to try it out. Beloved and I had breakfast at Fiorgelato. It sounds like a gelato place, and it is. But apparently, this one is found below a hotel (I think) that they were assigned to provide breakfast for their patrons (I believe). So, don’t expect any ice cream in this one.

Beloved and I had dinner at The Mango Tree Bistro, which is a newly-opened restaurant at Trinoma, taking part of the floor area of Powerbooks at the third floor, last night. This is a Thai restaurant with a dimly-lit interior making it not the coziest place, especially for solar-powered bouncing cow bearing denizens. Of course, I doubt you’ll be one, and if you go here, you’re probably craving for a rarity in the Metro that is Thai cuisine, or are just curious. We happen to be the latter.

Beloved and I had dinner at Bite Club last night. You know how I always mention how every other burger joint I’ve reviewed has a variation of the phrase “isn’t the biggest burger I’ve had”? Well, this place offers it. I’ve been a fleeting customer of this place, more so when I was still living at Project 4.
