food love

Here's a mini food post on the things I've been munching on lately. If you're an Instagram follower, you've probably seen the lot of food photos I post almost daily. Today I'd like to share with you some details on the food behind @danielamgamboa and #danielaeats (yup I made a hashtag!).

Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza at The Palms Country Club

I don't know why I always opt for Margarita pizza when this exists. It was my first time to try it this year (SO.LATE.) and I absolutely love it. The Palms pizzas are cooked in a brick oven so the slightly burnt taste you get from the brick oven cook makes it extra good. I also always have my pizzas come in thin crust because I enjoy the little crunch you get at the end of eating a slice as oppose to the thick, filling crust, so I was happy that that's what I got for this one.

Spicy Tuna Salad, Sea Breeze and Cha Soba at Omakase

I don't even need to explain! My heaven. 

Dumplings at Mandarin Palace

I'm not really a Chinese food lover, but I can eat a whole lot of dumplings. Pork Siomai and Hakaw forever! And Mango Sago. YUM. I also enjoy jellyfish once in a while, but I didn't like the one they had here. 

I forgot the name of this dish, but it's from Bamba Bistro in BF. That place has such good food. It may appear tiny in serving, but I shared this (and a few other dishes) with some friends, and we were stuffed! I suggest you share different dishes when you visit so you can try out more than one. And order a Sangria!  

 Huevos from Bamba Bistro

This was my favorite. The chorizo + ground beef + chilli + egg (and a few other ingredients I might be forgetting) was so good! The burger I posted above actually also contains Huevos that's why I really liked it.

Pizzookie from Bamba Bistro

The perfect end to the Bamba experience. Freshly baked chocolate chip cookie topped with Vanilla ice cream, coated with some salted caramel syrup. It also comes in a small serving size but it's actually perfect since you'll be so stuffed from the main dishes. It's a must for anyone that visits Bamba!

Random, but now that I think about it, the Magnum dessert I had a few days ago in Magnum Manila is somewhat like this. More on this in the next food post!

Sambokojin in SM Southmall

Okay, not exactly the best Japanese place in the south. It's no Omakase or Hanakazu, but I love eating here because it's affordable (Php 600-700 if i'm not mistaken), it's a buffet, and it's a fusion of Japanese and Korean food--my two favorite cuisines. Just a side note for those who plan on eating here - watch out for their sashimi. I've visited this place I think more than ten times, and most of my visits were pleasant. It was just maybe twice or thrice that I encountered tuna sashimi that didn't look fresh. I didn't even try it to spare myself from a bad stomach, so I just requested for a new batch and they replaced it with fresher looking fish. 

Sukiyaki from Krazy Katsu in BF

Sweet! I think this is the sweetest Sukiyaki i've ever had but I kinda enjoyed it. Anton also liked it but we agreed that you need to have an order of something else to alternate it with so you don't get tired of the taste. I got some of Anton's meal to get a taste of something else in between, and I enjoyed the Sukiyaki more that way. 

That's it for today! Here's a random food quote I saw on Tumblr today:

"People who love to eat are always the best people" -  Julia Child

I agree!

bulgogi brothers

Ever since my sister mentioned her craving for Korean food last week, I couldn't help but start craving for it as well. I kept picturing Kimchi, Bulgogi, Samgyeopsal, Chapchae, spicy soup and all the other side dishes, and it really got me wanting some Korean. I think it has become the second to Japanese cuisine because I have grown to actually crave for it. Yesterday, I got lucky and was finally able to satisfy the Korean craving! What made it better was that it was in a Korean restaurant whose food pictures posted outside its walls before the opening taunted me to try it out. Bulgogi Brothers is finally open!

Located at the ground floor of the newest area of Town, beside Wee Nam Kee. 

Bulgogi Brothers Special (good for 3-4 persons at P900)

My favorite! This unlimited side dish salad is so good. So glad I got some to take home!

When you order Sake, they make you pick a cup from that tray of multi-colored cups. The cup color you pick says something about your personality which you can read upon lifting your pick.

Loved it! Good food and good service. I ate there with Anton and his dad and we only ordered one Bulgogi Brothers Special because we were three and the dish was pretty big (we didn't even finish it), then we just kept getting refills of that salad because it was too good. Before our meal ended, we saw the table beside ours (filled with Koreans) order a bottle of Sake that came with the tray of cups and a nice pitcher, so we decided to try it out. Yuummyy. 

The service was real good too actually. Our server and the restaurant manager were so knowledgable and accommodating, which I really liked because it's nice to talk to servers who know more than what's just on the menu, plus it really encourages me to go back. And because they accidentally charged us for the salad (which is suppose to be complimentary and unlimited), they took down one rice order to make up for the inconvenience. Nice!

Try it out! My first Bulgogi Brothers experience was real good, and I'm hoping I get to go back soon and try out the other dishes. It just opened in Town so expect the place to be quite full. Good food at good prices and good service all in one!
