Sushi Yum! Their Tonkatsu is one of my favorite rice meal, you will starve just by looking at it, the breading is great plus the pork, it comes with a bowl of rice which is delicious too! ( the rice isn't cheap rice i think ). serving is just right for one person. I didn't like the sauce because it tastes like the ones being sold in the supermarket. For only 120php this is a great deal compared to other wanna be Japanese restaurant. =D

Wai Ying : Lemon Chicken Rice

Lemon Goodness!

Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P130

When you look at Wai Ying's Menu, you will have a hard time looking for their lemon chicken rice ( confusing menu ), before I didn't even know that they have this, but good thing I asked the waiter about it and the rest is history.

Wai Ying's lemon chicken rice is breaded chicken, they serve the lemon sauce separate from the chicken so you have more controlling power on how much lemon sauce you want. The chicken is crunchy and perfect with the lemon sauce. =D

Tasty Dumplings : Fried Meatball Rice 炸肉丸飯

Meatball???? or Squid ball??

Where to Buy: Tasty Dumplings
Price : P105

I think I remember ordering Meatball... not Squid ball!!! I guess as long as it's meat and it's round you can call it Meatball. Well the so called Meatballs are good ( doesn't taste like cheap Squid ball like the ones being sold by fish ball pushers ), they should have added extra Meatballs.. ( I think 5 pieces of these ain't worth 105 php ).

Tasty Dumplings : Sweet and Sour Chicken Rice

Sweet n Sour Goodness. =D  

Where to Buy : Tasty Dumplings
Price : P113

Sweet and Sour Pork? nah... this is Sweet and Sour Chicken!! =D I usually prefer fish when eating a sweet and sour dish but this is a good alternative, sliced chicken and topped with the sauce looks great ( usually the fish/pork/chicken is swimming in the sauce and it's kinda messy because the sauce would seep into the rice and some people don't like their rice tasting like sweet n sour). The sauce is good together with the chicken, I really liked it! a must try!!! =D

* I thought Tasty Dumplings only sells good pork chop rice, this is good too! =D

Craving for Japanese food lately? Try Tokyo Tokyo's Donburi Bowls Pork Katsudon! A big breaded pork topped with scrambled egg is all you need to satisfy your cravings, though it won't really get you full because of the small serving size.

North Park : Double Pork Rib with Rice

double pork rib? or double fats?

Where to Buy : North Park Restaurant   North Park Menu
Price : P151

A terrible double pork rib with rice from North Park, I couldn't see where they hid the pork rib and meat with all those skins and fats, the whole small serving is consist of skin and fats! this is definitely not worth your money. Better order something else next time. >_<

Baliwag Lechon Manok ATBP. : Lechon Manok and Liempo Meal

Lechon Manok + Liempo = Lunch

Where to Buy : Baliwag Lechon Manok ATBP Restaurant
Price : P130

Baliwag Lechon Manok ATBP. is as usual famous for their lechon manok, I ordered their lechon manok and liempo meal which cost 130 pesos! I was disappointed about their serving size, the chicken is 1/4 piece which is alright but the liempo is only a few pieces and most of it are fats. >_<  The chicken is delicious! dip it with the sauce ( which isn't just any gravy ). The liempo didn't really please me at all.... just order their lechon manok =D

Binalot : Anytime Inihaw na Baboy

tender liempo marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, herbs and spices. Grilled to get that authentic barbecued texture, and aroma. Served with white rice. Comes with salted egg and tomato.

Where to Buy : Binalot Restaurant
Price : P93

Delicious Liempo from Binalot! eating liempo together with tomatoes and salted egg is really a hit, be sure to get your liempo sauce too! the ordinary order comes with plain rice but I decided to change it to their famous adobo rice ( you just have to add a few pesos ), it's way better with the adobo rice! the serving is good enough

Tasty Dumplings : Pork Chop Rice 炸排骨飯

Pochap! <3

Where to Buy : Tasty Dumplings
Price : P105

This is what Tasty Dumplings is famous for! their Pork Chop Rice! =D delicious smashed and breaded pork chop, you have to add some sauce ( I don't know what kind of sauce it is ) to make it more tastier. The pork chop looks big because it is smashed so thin. Delicious pochap that will really make you come back for more. =D

Wai Ying : Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet Rice

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet with pineapples

Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P120

I don't like Wai Ying's Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet mainly because of their sauce, I think if they improve the sauce I could become addicted to their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet. The fish comes in big serving, enough to satisfy your cravings, with pineapples to add flavor. It is still a delicious meal although it could be better. =D

Rufo's Famous Tapa : Tocino

mapapamura ka sa sarap

Where to Buy : Rufo's Famous Tapa Restaurant
Price : P89


Rufo's Tocino is nothing special, ordinary tocino that you can eat everyday, the tocino is somehow tasteless, good thing the garlic rice and egg is here to save the day! I think the tocino being sold in the supermarket is somehow better. >_<

Rufo's Famous Tapa : Pork Humba

tender pork shank and cutlets slowly braised in spiced soy-pineapple juice and topped off with a sprinkling of banana blossoms

Where to Buy : Rufo's Famous Tapa Restaurant
Price : P85


I only wished they served more meat than fats, this could have been a great meal, but too bad it only consist of 1/6 meat and fats all the way. I thought cheap carinderia are the only ones doing that kind of ratio  >_<

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak : Meatball Pepper Rice

My Grandma can cook better meatballs than this >_<

Where to Buy : Sizzlin' Pepper Steak Restaurant
Price : P180

This is a complete disappointment, the meatballs are served in the same heated plate but whats the point of using it when the meatballs is already cooked ( you can't served uncooked meatballs then let the customer cook it ), it taste so bad that I ordered extra eggs to make it taste better. >_<  I should have ordered something else.

Wai Ying : Curry Beef Brisket Rice

looks like poop but taste so good! =D

Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant

Price : P110

Wai Ying's Curry Beef Brisket Rice has been my favorite ever since my brother recommended it, at first look you wouldn't even think of touching it ( coz it looks somehow gross, I think it's because of the color ), looks can be deceiving and it proved to be a delicious meal. The beef is soft and has a spicy flavor ( must be the sauce ), mix the sauce with the rice to make it more tasty! =D
