  masrap ba sa LA Diner?

• Godai_Yusaku on January 10, 2013 11:16 AM

  @Astrokidd
  
  Wrong question. Part na po ng Antipolo yung lugar ng LA Diner so technically eh hindi na siya covered ng thread na ito.. (Just like Tamagoya..) Ehehehehehehehe.. Paglilinaw lang po..

• Astrokidd on January 11, 2013 10:23 AM

  @Godai - naku pasensya nawala ako sa mapa...hehehe. anyway, Salmat sa info :)

  Some Kind Of Wonderful or S.K.O.W. sa may Rainbow Street sa may SSS vill. tapat mismo ng simbahan. IMHO so far the best pasta and cheeseburger i've tasted in Marikina. The best salmon steak i've tasted in the metro better than Conti's at mura pa. Hole in the wall resto kase medyo tago pero laging puno especially pag weekends. May japanese menu din sila i think their tonkatsu and and katsudon is better than Tamagoya, kase yung chef nila for the japanese menu galing ata ng yabu

  ^ Thanks! Lagi ko nga napapansin yan tuwing bumibili ako ng raisin bread sa Red Clay. Masubukan nga! Ahahahahaha.

  How about yong CLUCS dito sa may Boggs bldg? Meron na bang nakapag-try? Medyo popular sya sa mga high school girls. Problema lang biglang tinapatan ng wet market kaya nasira ang view.
  
  Meron din newly opened sa adjacent side (one way papuntang dating palengke), cant remember the name.

  talaga bang hindi kasing sarap ng per-order (by-the-plastic) yung by-the-bilao na pancit sa aj honey?
  experienced it twice na, is it always that way?

• Godai_Yusaku on March 04, 2013 12:00 PM

  @morrissey
  
  Nakakain na kami sa SKOW.. Not so bad sa ambiance.. The cheesecake was awful though.. i wonder if the rest of the cakes are just as horrible though..
  
  @all
  
  Anybody tried:
  La Stanza?

• renemunji on March 04, 2013 12:15 PM

  my wife and friends have been to la stanza.....and they weren't impressed by the food.

• Godai_Yusaku on March 06, 2013 07:05 AM

  ^ So sad to hear that sir.. All that ambiance and so-so food.. Argh..

  Galing kami sa Bayan kahapon. Went bargain hunting sa SAMARIKINE and brought home a lot of good finds.. It made us really hungry kasi 1pm na kami natapos ni misis.. She asked me kung saan kami kakain so I told her I had a place in mind..
  
  I took her to KAF Casual Dining at Redwood Street in brgy. San Roque. Its a nice little place with decent airconditioning. Adjacent to their restaurant is their bag store Oh My Bag! How to get there? On the road to Santa Lucia from Marquinton, you turn right at Redwood Street and you'll see the resto on your right side. =)
  
  Food: Good! We ordered Caesar Salad and Pork Liempo with red rice. Mmmm.. The salad was plentiful and tasted excellent. Can't wait to try the other stuff in their menu. The food choices are mostly American and Filipino.. They also have wines, brewed coffee, and desserts!
  Ambiance: Cozy muted lighting with white wine bottles placed on tables as centerpieces. Nice. Some of the tables already had peeling paint but I guess that's why its just a casual dining place. They played slow jazz in the background. Very cozy atmosphere but I guess the real weakness lay in the fact that their chairs were not padded and offered little comfort. Can't have it all.. I got to read their newspaper while my wife ogled their bags as we waited for the food..
  Pricing: P180 for the salad and P260 for the liempo dish (for two!). Add P120 for the two bottomless iced teas and we ended up paying P560 for a cozy meal for two. Was it expensive? I guess for a lot of people its expensive na. But I'd say it was worth it naman..
  
  You can look them up in Facebook btw..
  
  Coming up next... A hidden resto in Riverside Drive in Provident Village, and a Mediterranean Resto in J.P. Rizal..

• mario128 on March 20, 2013 07:35 AM

  Hannsmat sa loob ng Provident Villages. Along main road lang (St Mary). Around 20 meters pass the Church.

• Godai_Yusaku on March 20, 2013 11:12 AM

  @mario128
  
  Nasubukan mo na dun sir? Can you write a review for us?

• mario128 on March 20, 2013 02:12 PM

  @Godai_Yusaku: Ok food nila kasi sila nagcater at host ng wedding namin. Di pa kasi resto yun before. Di ko pa nasubukan kumain nung ginawang resto. Sabi ng bro ko sakto lang daw price comparable sa Gerry's. Yung taste para sakin 9/10 based dun sa menu nila sa wedding namin. Ambiance dun maganda. :)

  @ Godai_Yusaku
  Sorry to hear that you didn't have a pleasant time at Some Kind Of Wonderful. I think they are not known for their cakes. You should try their pasta and salmon steak and of course their old school cheeseburger. I already tried their cheesecake the texture is a little hard cause their cheesecake were baked. If you re used to non-baked gelatinous cheesecake like the refrigerated ones of red ribbon I guess you wouldn't enjoy their cheesecake.

• Godai_Yusaku on May 22, 2013 08:32 AM

  On the way home from Makati after fetching my wife, we were on the lookout for somewhere to eat. It was just one of those nights when traffic was a bit bad and we were getting hungry. So I told my wife we'll be eating somewhere both of us haven't eaten at yet.. I take her to Hannsmat inside Provident Village.
  
  Food: So-so. The moment you sit down, they'll give you some popcorn on the house. The menu is actually varied and its easy to see their catering roots. The food is pretty much catering food. But they do have some gimmick night food as well. The chicharon bituka we ordered was really crunchy but a bit salty. For out main dish, we ordered the steak. it was a bit tough and makunat. I'm definitely not going to order that again. They didn't have enough ingredients for a Mojito so we just ordered a Margarita. Hmm.
  Ambiance: The inside was nice and bright. The air conditioning was cool and the tv was not too loud. The chairs were catering standard wrought iron frames with fabric draperies. There's also an al fresco area where you can drink, smoke, and be as noisy as you want to be. Quite fancy really - pretty much what you'd expect when you're in Provident Village.
  Pricing: Its definitely NOT cheap. Its not that expensive either. Just be sure to have around P1000 in you wallet for a dinner for two..
  
  I wish to go back to try the other dishes. I couldn't give a decent review since I barely tasted their specialties. Maybe after I've gone back there, I'll update this review.. =) Until then, why don't you guys pay them a visit yourselves?

• Godai_Yusaku on May 22, 2013 08:37 AM

  @morrissey
  
  I have had the chance to eat baked cheesecakes in the past. And they did not taste that funny! They were yummy and cheesy and creamy. The cheesecake they make at SKOW was low-grade stuff very close to the low-grade leche flan you get to buy in market stalls.. I'll definitely order something else if ever I go back there..

• Godai_Yusaku on June 15, 2013 06:33 AM

  Spotted near M.I.S.T. in Bayan..
  
  MURAKAMI Japanese-themed fastfood.. Hmm.. Sayang at sarado pa nung napadaan ako.. Will try it next time..

• Godai_Yusaku on June 15, 2013 06:38 AM

  Spotted along Lilac St. beside China Bank..
  
  A new noodle house.. Hmm.. Gotta try that too..
