Cucina Andare

January 25, 2013. Friday.

Cucina what?

The past 2 years has been the boom of the weekend food bazaar scene. To keep the concept fresh, the people behind Mercato brings us Cucina Andare. It means kitchen on the go. It's basically a weekend food bazaar, highlighted by food trucks. Food trucks have been around for a while in the US, particularly in NorCal and SoCal and it has provided our western counterparts some great food on the go. Locally, we can have our own food truck experience with Cucina Andare which happens at the Glorietta Park (middle of Glorietta 3, Makati Shang, and 6750) every Friday to Sunday from 4PM to 3AM. Yes you read that right, it is open until 3AM!

Just like with Mercato and almost every other nighttime food bazaar, be prepared for lots of people during peak hours (dinner time up to midnight), to have a hard time looking for seats and to be walking from one end to the other just looking at all the food! We tried to sample as much as we can by eating early dinner at 5PM, then taking a break at 7PM and coming back at around 930PM to try some more food!

ROUND 1!

We first ordered from the Hungry Rover. It's actually not a food truck, but more of a food bus (mini- bus) that can actually seat 6 people inside. It's the first time I've seen one, both locally and in the US. Kim ordered their highly recommended US Beef Tapa with Chili Rice.

US Beef Tapa with Chili Rice. 150php.

This is one of the most tender beef tapa's we have ever tried. Kim loved it. The sirloin, which had a good amount of fat, was sliced very thinly and cooked until it was really tender. It really went well with the chili rice and the garlic yogurt sauce. Those who are looking for the usual tapsilog fare might as well go look elsewhere because for one this didn't have any fried egg, and the beef isn't the usual cured beef that is sour and salty. It actually tasted more like how sirloin steak would taste like. Once you get over the tapsilog notion, this is really a great meal.

While Kim was ordering her tapa, I was ordering from Food Truck by Chef Broosy. This food truck which serves Filipino- Japanese dishes is from the people behind Robot and Sensei Sushi. Don't get the them confused though, it's more of like they serve both Filipino and Japanese dishes. Sisig tacos, anyone? Yep they serve those, but I ordered their Chicken Pops on rice.

Chicken Pops on rice. 165php.

The Chicken Pops are deep fried breaded small pieces of chicken, covered in their own sauce and then topped off with pickled veggies and sesame seeds. The chicken is fried to a nice crisp on the outside but still tender on the inside. The sauce which is sweet has a nice contrasting flavor together with the pickled veggies on top.

ROUND 2!

After finishing Round 1 of our food truck experience, I went around looking for more food we can both share. I first saw the Crunchy Belly by Carlo's Kitchen when we walked in, and I knew then that I just had to try it. Carlos Kitchen isn't a food truck, it's located in the middle of the park where the food stalls are.

Crunch Pork Belly. 130php.

Crunchy Pork Belly! How can you go wrong with that? Well, for one it really didn't go well with the rice so we didn't eat it with this. But this makes for a great snack, just not as a viand. Grab a Red Horse and you're all set. As for the rice, it didn't go to waste...

It didn't go to waste because I ordered from Chef Resty's Roastbeef. This is also not a food truck and is also located in the middle of the park.

Roastbeef (100g grams). 100php.

I got 100 grams of fatty, tender, juicy and great tasting roastbeef. It came with sweet gravy, but we really didn't bother to use it much since the beef brisket was already seasoned very well. We ate it with the rice from the previously mentioned Crunchy Pork Belly. The beef is pinkish rare but it is not chewy since it has probably been cooking for a long time. 100grams for 100php seems just right, since it's really rare you see good cooked roastbeef at this price. You can also get rice, pasta, sandwich, or potatoes from Chef Resty's and if I remember correctly, the most expensive set meal on their menu is at 180php. Pretty affordable for something you won't get to eat everyday.

That's the end of Round 2. We walked around Glorietta to get some wiggle room for more food, and bought a couple of things. After about 2 and a half hours of shopping and window shopping, we were back at Cucina Andare for one last round.


ROUND 3!

This is one of my target when I first read about Cucina Andare, Schmidt's Gourmet Hotdogs. I saw they had a US Ripper in their menu. A ripper is a deep fried dog that is called as such because (supposedly!) the skin rips apart from the high heat, and it provides that snap as all great dogs should do.

US Ripper. 130php.

 First thing I noticed when my dog was being prepared was, "Where the heck is the deep fryer?!?!" Safe to say I was disappointed from the beginning and it doesn't get any better. The hungarian had circular cuts made by a knife, further deviating from the "ripper" standard, and it didn't snap! It tasted okay, nothing special. Angel's Hamburger's 60php Hungarian would kick the living hell out of this. Don't call it a ripper if it's not a ripper!

Our last food stop for the night was the most popular food truck in the lot (based on how many people queue up for the food), Shawarma Bros. Good thing this was the last thing that stuck to my mind that night, as it tempered my disappointment with my ripper dog. This is one of the best looking trucks in Cucina Andare, and I dare say it wouldn't look out of place in a lot full of authentic SoCal Taco Trucks. Instead of serving Mexican fare, this one serves some good ol shawarma dishes. But instead of ordering shawarma, Kim ordered their Lamb Steak Plate.

Lamb Steak Plate. 200php.

You might think it would be tough to eat lamb with just a plastic spork and knife, then you haven't tried Shawarma Bros version of it. Very tender and succulent lamb that is seasoned very well. You can taste the herbs and spices from the smell of it! You can choose 2 sauces to top off your dish, and we chose the garlic yogurt and cheese. We were apprehensive of this combination at first, but it worked really well. The garlic flavor blended with the slight saltiness of the cheese which complimented the grilled flavor of the lamb. All in all, this was the best meal we had in Cucina Andare. A perfect end to the night.

Our thirst-quencher for our food trip that night was Bayani Brew, a Gawad Kalinga project brewed from lemongrass and pandan leaves with a hint of calamansi.

Bayani Bre. 35php.

Curious of what a Filipino tea would taste like, we immediately took a couple of gulps. Kim and I exchanged looks because it tasted bland. I ended up finishing the whole lot of it until Kim read the descriptions of the bottle and told me that we forgot an important step. Shake before drinking. No wonder the taste has gotten stronger when I reached the bottom. Too much of being a foodie, right? No worries, we’ll surely be coming back to Cucina Andare and we’ll remember to shake our next Bayani Brew bottle.

As we were leaning back on our seats with bellies probably perplexed on what to digest first, Kim wanted to end the night with a cooling dessert. We both looked at the MioGelati ice cream truck behind us but we shook our heads. Instead, we got a cheaper ice cream at Amazing Cones: Pizza in a Cone.

Bubblegum ice cream. 35php.

We got the bubblegum flavor, as Kim insisted. And to her dismay, it tasted like a regular vanilla ice cream with pink swirls. We'll just probably try their pizza cones next time since it's their specialty afterall. But at least it was a good finale for us to cool down as Kim and I started planning on our next food targets. Haha!

If you're searching for cheap eats and great variety, go and visit Cucina Andare! There's a lot to choose from! From rice meals to sandwiches, from international to local fare, from heavy meals to light snacks, it got you covered! We're definitely coming back to try out the other interesting stuff we saw. Chicken in a waffle anyone?

Dimsum Break

January 19, 2013. Saturday.

We both love Chinese food. To a certain extent, we consider it on par with our love for the local cuisine. Of course, mainstay on top of our food priority list is American -- steak, burgers, pizza. But Chinese food has always been a staple on our dates, and probably in almost every Filipino household. It has been around for so long that it has been sort of established as part of our local food culture.

I have been reading about Dimsum Break since late last year when it opened its first and only (so far) Manila branch. People, particularly Manila based Cebuanos, were raving about it. I was surprised at how a small Chinese brand with no national notoriety evoke such strong emotions from (the stomachs of) people. We just had to go and find out!

We arrived in SM North Edsa early for dinner, but we still went on to walk towards Dimsum Break in Annex for a very early dinner. Dimsum Break's interiors is nothing to be amazed at, well except for the dimsum steamer baskets used as ceiling lamps. Other than that it is just a very simple place with white tables and chairs spread throughout the dining area.

This is not a fancy Chinese restaurant, so you have to line up and order from the counter. Despite this system, they don't have a the usual signage where you can look at the menu and their respective prices. But no worries, everything you need to see is right in front of you just like a good old school cafeteria. And they have leaflets too, where the menu is. So if you see something from the leaflet but it's not in the display in front of you, you can just go ask the staff for that item and they'll make one for you.

Ordering in Dimsum Break is so easy. You line up and just select your food from the display cases in front of you. It also helps that they grouped the food together. You'll first see the Steamed Dimsum section, where all selections are 65php. Then the Fried Dimsum section, again all are at 65php. Then there's the rice pots, all at 68php. And finally the desserts where most items are at 55php. The other items you see in their leaflet/menu, you just have to tell the cashier when you pay then they'll deliver it to your table. We ordered the following:

From the Steamed Dimsum, we got the Shaomai and the Hakao.

Shaomai. 65php.

Hakao. 65php.

We played safe and ordered some sure fire dimsum. They spell their Siomai as Shaomai, but despite the slight name change, they serve really good siomai. It's packed and flavorful, and not too small nor big.

The same goes for their Hakao, it's really packed! With each and every bite you get a taste of the shrimp inside and not just the wrapper. We played safe since it was our first time to eat here, but next time we will try some of their more creative dimsum like the quail egg topped Shaomai and the bacon wrapped Shaomai.

From the Fried Dimsum, we ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork, Stuffed Shrimps, and the Spring Rolls.

Sweet and Sour Pork. 65php.

The Sweet and Sour Pork was really great. Instead of the usual dish in which the pork is cooked until tender with the sweet and sour sauce, this one had the pork fried to a perfect crisp then glazed with the sauce after.

Stuffed Shrimps. 65php.

The Stuffed Shrimp was okay.. when dipped in the sweet and sour sauce. I really couldn't taste the shrimp in it, and its inside was really mushy.

Spring Rolls. 65php.

The Spring Rolls on the other hand were perfectly crispy and really went well with the sweet and sour sauce. I think Dimsum Break uses just one sweet and sour sauce for all their dishes that require it. I might be wrong though, and I am certainly not complaining.

We also both got a bowl of Steamed Fried Rice each.

Steamed Fried Rice. 68php.

After just one spoonful of the Steamed Fried Rice, I finally understood what the fuss is about. It's just normal steamed white rice, but it is topped with very, very tender pork and some small pieces of shrimp that is then finished off with a thick sweet (but not too sweet) sauce. You can just order this and ignore everything else. That's how good it is! I can't even think of another Chinese dish served locally in any other restaurant that can compare to this! And Kim might disagree, but I think this is really perfect with all the dimsum (steamed or fried) they serve.

For dessert, we ordered the Coconut Cream and the Buko Pandan.
 

Coconut Cream. 55php.

The Coconut Cream is supposed to be their signature dessert dish, but I wasn't totally blown away by it. It was okay, and I liked the texture of it and that it wasn't overly sweet but it was really nothing different from a maja blanca without the corn.

 

Buko Pandan. 55php.

Same with the Coconut Cream, the Buko Pandan was just okay. Except for the fact that this was surprisingly topped with corn flakes, there really was nothing special about it.

I can't explain how much I really enjoyed our meal in Dimsum Break. I loved it so much that I'm saying that it is better than any other high priced Chinese restaurants we go to. The serving sizes are just right for the prices, you can enjoy and share more variety without paying more. The service is fast, the price is very affordable, and the food is really great! You can bring your whole family here and not break the bank. We will surely be back here again very, very soon!

Nolita (North of Little Italy) Again!

January 5, 2012. Saturday.

 

In a span of just a week, we found ourselves dining in Nolita twice. This is the second of those visits. If this was any nearer to us, we would be dining here weekly. It's just a great place to eat and hangout. Since we have told you about this great restaurant before, we'll just go straight to our orders this time.

For starters, we had Honey Garlic Buffalo Wings.

Honey Garlic Buffalo Wings. 330php.

I was really hesitant at first to order this since I like my Buffalo Wings the traditional way --  a little hot with a slight zing, and a tinge of sourness in it. But I'm glad we ordered this, since we both really enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be really sweet, but it was just right and the garlic flavor really works well for these deep fried wings. It had about 10 pieces in it, so this is really a good finger food to be shared with.

Kim had the Angus All Beef Cheeseburger.

Angus All Beef Cheeseburger. 320php.

This was my order during our last visit which I let Kim had a bite of, and she really liked it so she ordered it this time. I mistakenly told her I had mozzarella put on it before, when it was really American Jack cheese. But no worries, the mozzarella worked well too with the thick patty. It's still as heavenly as before. Thick juicy patty, fresh lettuce, tomato and onion on a brioche bun? Perfect. And as mentioned here before, it's not really big diameter wise, but it is thick. It was too thick for Kim to bite on it, so she had to resort to using her fork and knife. Sacrilegious, I know.

I ordered the Nolita Burger.

Nolita Burger. 420php.

I was really looking forward to this since I really eat egg with almost everything (it's like a weird habit, that I want it as a side dish). The difference of the Nolita Burger from their all beef burgers is that it only comes with blue cheese (you can't choose), the onions are caramelized and it is topped off with bacon and a sunny side up! It's like a level up on their standard burgers! How can you go wrong with that? Was I in for a surprise. I didn't expect I'd still like the Angus All Beef Cheeseburger over this one. Don't get me wrong, I like the Nolita Burger, but I still like their cheeseburger better. I was caught off guard with the taste of the bacon, first off it wasn't crispy, it was like eating a really oily prosciutto. And it had this sweet, smoky taste to it. Again, not bad and probably some people like it that way, but I like my bacon crispy and salty. The caramelized onions also were sweet, and it's that sweet taste that I don't like in my burger. Maybe this one just wasn't my cup of tea, or plate of burger. It still is a well prepared and well cooked burger, but I just prefer something over it.

That concludes our second entry for Nolita. Expect more soon! There are still a lot of menu items we want to try. Personally, I want to try the Bowl of Chili. And I know Kim is still craving for that egg-topped Shrimp Carbonara Pizza. If you have an extra 500 bucks in your pocket and want a great meal in BGC, drop by Nolita.

Flaming Wings

January 4, 2013. Friday.

We love trying out food places that we haven't been to before, but sometimes that sets us up for disappointment. In the 6 months since we have started this blog and in the one year that we have been together, we have set some standards for different food items. Like for example, Rodic's will always be the best tapsilog for us. But we still try different tapsi joints even though we know it will pale in comparison to our standard and leave us open for disappointment.

This is one of those cases again. No matter what anyone says, Buffalo's Wings N' Things will always be the best chicken wings joint for us. But that doesn't mean we don't go out and try other wings places. So for this entry, we were in Flaming Wings White Plains.

I like the predominantly red interiors of Flaming Wings, it felt cozy together with the leather seats and blacktop tables. It was also well lit with pinlights all over the celing. Since it was our first time, we browsed through the menu first. Their menu has a whole lot more other items than just chicken wings. There's pasta, sandwiches, rice meals, and desserts. But since we went here for the wings, we had to get wings! All orders we had were for sharing.

New York Style Chicken Wings, 5pcs.

New York Style Chicken Wings, 5 pieces.

5 wings to share?!?! You must be shaking your head in disbelief. Calm down. I was a little disoriented by how Flaming Wings quantifies their wings. We were originally going to order the 15 pieces since we were sharing it, but the waiter informed us that the 15 pieces was actually 30 pieces since there's the wing itself and the sort-of-shoulder part that connects the wing to the body. Good thing he informed us, or else we would've been served with a whole lot of wings! So 5 wings (which was really 10 pieces) it was. As soon as it was served on our table, I was quite puzzled at how dry it looked. I'm used to having my buffalo wings glazed, if not swimming, in its sauce. This one just looked like any plain old deep fried chicken. The taste was okay, it had that mild zing and a little sourness. It was fried nicely, but you can't serve buffalo wings and skimp on the sauce! Plus, the blue cheese it came with was just weird to the point that we didn't even bother using at after initial taste.

Fish and Chips.

Fish and Chips.

Surprisingly I liked the fish and chips more than the chicken wings in this place. The fish a light coating of batter, which was really crispy. I'm not sure what batter they have (if it had any beer in it) and what oil they used to fry the fish in (if it was drippings or lard, or just regular vegetable oil), but the fish was really good. The chips/ fries were also perfectly fried, and cooked to the inside. It was a little oily, but then again most great fish and chips are! If there's one thing to nitpick here, it's the sauce. Just like with the chicken wings, the sauce served with the fish was really weird. I've never seen a green colored tartar sauce. I'm not even sure that green gunk was tartar sauce. It had the consistency of mayo, but really tasted lemony sweet like it had sugar in it. Ugh.

It was a hit and miss for this visit to Flaming Wings. The food, the wings in particular, wasn't really bad. It was more of it wasn't up to par to what we expect. Anyway, the place was nice and the staff was really courteous especially with explaining the menu. So despite my qualms about this place, we really didn't feel ripped off afterwards. A good meal is still a good meal.

Chuck's Deli

January 2, 2013. Wednesday.

For our first date for 2013, we ate in Chuck's Deli in Eastwood. Coincidentally, we also had our first date in 2012 in Chuck's Deli.

Chuck's Deli serves freshly made sandwiches that range from the healthy vegetarian variety to the meat packed variety. When I say healthy there's an asterisk to it because the serving here is really heavy, so it really is a misconception that having sandwiches is just a light meal. Aside from sandwiches, the menu also has its fair share of salads, soups, shakes and sides (aptly called sidekicks).

Chuck's is located at the ground floor of Eastwood Mall, right in between Wagyu Stone Grill and The Old Vine. Almost all restaurants in this area of Eastwood is a little more upscale. It's not necessarily fine dining but you won't find any fastfood chains here either. So despite Chuck's Deli serving "just sandwiches," they are on the higher end of the price spectrum.

We ordered the following:

A bowl of Truffled Cream of Mushroom to share.

Truffled Cream of Mushroom. 195php.

It was a little unappetizing to look at first because it looked like a bowl of Bird's Nest gone bad because of the darker color. But we soon found out that it really tasted good, and the dark color was due to the Truffle oil it had. We loved how creamy (duh) and rich the soup was, and the truffle adds a little sweetness to it. Now I'm really wondering why doesn't everyone put Truffles (or at least Truffle flavor) in their Cream of Mushroom soup? Technically Truffle is also a mushroom, right?

Angus Sliders with a side of potato chips for Kim.

Angus Slider. 295php.

These cute, almost bite- sized sandwiches has US Angus Beef patties, lettuce, tomato, Chuck's sauce and mayo- mustard. They might be cute and small, but they certainly are huge and packed in flavor. And the patties are from the same cut as the ones used in Chuck's own Half Pounder, so they really are thicker than your average patty.

And a half Slabwich of French Kiss with side of onion rings for me.

Half Slabwich of French Kiss. 220php.

Let me start by saying that I really didn't expect the half sandwich, or Slabwich as they call it, to be really big. It is literally a slab! Based on their description, a half slab would be about 5- 6 inches long and weighs at about 3/4 lbs. But I'm guessing this one weighed more than that, and aside from being about half a foot long the slab was about 2 inches wide. A French Kiss Slabwich consists of corned lengua, sauerkraut and a horseradish spread. Lengua is beef tongue, and it is one of the fattiest beef parts. Since this was corned, it was really tender and really seasoned well. Sauerkraut is pickled cabbage, and it really adds a nice sour taste to the lengua which was a little onion-y. The horseradish spread was supposed to complement and provide a nice garlic flavor to the sandwich but I really didn't taste the garlic in it at all. In fact, I had to ask for garlic sauce just to have a different taste in my sandwich. Despite that, this one was a well prepared sandwich that was really filling for a whole meal. I couldn't imagine how big a full slabwich is, and how I would finish it.

If you're looking for a good meal but don't want the eat a conventional plate of rice and a viand, Chuck's Deli's sandwiches can surely satisfy you. With the great variety in their sandwiches, without a doubt there is something for everyone. The prices might not be cheap just because you're thinking it's just sandwiches, but these are nicely prepared with fresh meats and ingredients.

Buffalo's Wings N' Things and Chubby's Rib Shack

December 30, 2012. Sunday.

Special Note: For this blog entry, KiMiguel are joined by Migs' friends Brent, Joseph and Hannah as they went to Nuvali for its annual (sky) lantern parade.

We probably ate in Buffalo's Wing N' Things, or BWNT, more than any other restaurant in 2012. So it really was a surprise for me to notice that we haven't had a post about it yet! There was a period in 2012 that we literally ate there every week, or maybe it was every other week, but we were there a lot! We frequent the BWNT branch in Ortigas Home Depot, but for this post we were in the Nuvali branch.

The BWNT in Nuvali is also a Chubby's Rib Shack. They share the same space, and some menu items since they are owned by the same people. The place is a little nicer than the Home Depot branch with colorful pvc pipes and even fake red bricks adorning the walls while the latter is so minimalist in its design. But ambiance and appearance aside, the food is always good in BWNT no matter which branch you dine in.

The following are our orders. Please don't be surprised at the quantity. This is just how we always eat in BWNT. Haha.

We got Nacho N' Salsa, and a Basket of Fries for everyone to share.

Nachos N' Salsa

Basket of Fries

The nachos and salsa weren't really that special and are comparable to those you find pre- packed in supermarkets. As for the fries, they were really good. Deep friend to have that perfect crunchy outer layer but soft inside. Add the right amount of salt and then dip in catsup! I don't really like french fries in general, but I always like BWNT's.

Brent ordered half pound of Ultimate Wingsanity, half pound of K-Pop wings and Pulled Pork with rice. Yes, that's all just for him.

Half pound Ultimate Wingsanity

Half pound K-Pop

Brent wanted to complete all three certificates of BWNT's newest and hottest additions to its menu. He has manage to finish off the Gangnam Style and Total Wingsanity before. All that was left, was the Ultimate Wingsanity which by its name suggest that it is the hottest and spiciest of all the wings. Just a quick note, before you can get any of those three kinds of wings, you are supposed to sign a waiver. I know it's probably just a gimmick, but still you've got to feel strongly enough about eating something that hot that you'll actually sign a waiver for it! Going back, Brent managed to finish the Ultimate Wingsanity rather very quickly. He said that it really didn't feel that hot compared to the other two, or maybe his taste buds are just wrecked from eating too much spicy food. The K-Pop wings he said were comparable to the Armageddon (which I've tried a couple of times before, and trust me it's no joke how hot it is) wings but it had a slight sweetness to it. I really didn't catch his comment about the pulled pork and rice, but I'm assuming it's good since after a pound of wings he still managed to finish it.


Joseph and Hannah each got the Riblets basket each with rice, and they shared half a pound of New York's Finest wings.

Riblets Basket

The riblets as the name suggests are small ribs. Actually it is a half rack of ribs just pulled apart, bone to bone. You have the choice of which sauce to have your ribs cooked in, and I think both of them had it in Home Style Barbecue or something like that. It also came with a side of a slaw and a thick piece of bread.

Kim and I shared a Triple Sampler (1 and a half pounds!) of New York's Finest wings with rice, and I got a Big Daddy (pulled pork sandwich) for myself.

Triple Sampler New York's Finest

Big Daddy

I usually get the Firehouse Classic wings but since Kim and I are sharing, we opted for the milder New York's Finest. I know people will argue that there are better wings out there, but for me BWNT is just the best. Fairly affordable, and great tasting wings? BWNT is your bet! The wings are deep fried into perfection before they are tossed and coated in their sauce. And BWNT doesn't skimp on the sauce, not like other wings joints that we have tried. As for the Big Daddy, it tasted really good but was really heavy! A big handful of tender and well seasoned pulled pork together with slaw and topped with melted cheddar on two big pieces of bread? That's a meal just by itself!

If you're looking for a place for the barkada to grab some good food, you can't go wrong with BWNT! In any of its branches, it has never failed me in delivering good service and great food at very affordable prices. And you have got to get any of their wings when you go here. It can be any kind. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.
