Review of Moon Rabbit Cafe and Restaurant (San Juan, Metro Manila)

Located on a quiet neighborhood in San Juan, Moon Rabbit is a house-turned-restaurant and its dining area feels like it was designed specifically for big, lively groups of diners. The energy was abundant when we came, since many Chinese families celebrated Chinese New Year on the actual CNY day. It was our first time here and we were thrilled to find excellent dishes on the table. Through and through, we were served with delicious Chinese food that looked great as they tasted. By the way, we discovered Moon Rabbit through spot.ph’s list of the best restaurants in Manila in 2019.

Review of Moon Rabbit Cafe and Restaurant (San Juan)

Ambiance:

Moon Rabbit seemed a fun place to hang out. Its location is a bit off-the-grid versus the “restaurants area” like Wilson Street, Missouri Street, or Little Baguio in San Juan, but that’s only one part of what makes it more special. Its big parking space outside is a plus so you don’t have to worry about parking.

Upon entrance, we were greeted with a tall shelf of figurines, which served as a room divider to enhance the ambiance and add a touch of flair. It’s great because it doesn’t completely block the view from one side to the other, allowing the spaces to still be connected. There’s a main dining area which felt casual and homey, and a cozy bar area on another side for coffee and cocktails (where we stayed). High ceilings and sleek lighting fixtures make up this modern space. Love the indoor plants and, Chinese lanterns, and colorful pillowcases that act as creative accents! Tables filled up quickly at around 7pm and there were lots of reservations that night. A little more guidance: make a reservation if you don’t want to wait.

Food:

We started dinner with the appetizing Black Pepper Beef (PhP 320). It’s something that might not pop out to you at first when you see it on the menu, but you need to get it! It ended up as one of our favorite food at Moon Rabbit. Filled with peppery goodness and really tasty, it’s made with black pepper sauce and onions. Eating rice with it is a must. 🙂

Their Crispy Squid (PhP 280) was one big exclamation mark. The tiny pieces of squid were super crispy and flavorsome, especially with the accompanying sweet black vinegar sauce. It’s a totally safe option, and one that’ll ease you into a meal here.

Ama’s Homemade Meatballs (PhP 220) indeed tasted like “homemade” with the same familiar taste of my mom’s or grandmother’s cooking. Tender and moist, these savory meatballs can be addictive. They’re great alone but for a little oomph, tangy ketchup helps welcome a bright finish.

Cooked in a clay pot to tender crusty perfection, Duck Claypot Rice (PhP 260) looked like a glorious mess. The duck breast was aromatic and meaty, the Chinese chorizo was yummy, and greens provided a nice crunch.

Definitely a crowd-pleaser, Moon Rabbit’s Singaporean Noodles (PhP 320) were a fab affair, with a combination of spicy and savory. We’re so glad that the serving portion was enough for all of us six people. Made up of curry noodles, asado, bell peppers, and seafood, the noodles were far from bland or dry and the ingredients were generous.

Scallop Fried Rice (PhP 180) was another dish that didn’t scrimp on ingredients and flavor. It was immensely comforting and pretty filling, bringing fried rice to another level.

The Orange Spare Ribs (PhP 280) was interesting since it’s not often that you come across pork spareribs cooked with orange sauce. The taste of orange though was tad overwhelming so make sure to pair rice with it. The spareribs remained juicy and tender. We thought it’s worth a try!

For desserts, both the Moon Rabbit Panna Cotta (PhP 175) and the Grass Jelly with Red Bean (PhP 95) were enjoyable. Made in the shape of a rabbit, their panna cotta was on point. It was frozen and the texture was quite hard then the vanilla cream melts in your mouth. Inside, we were surprised to see a crimson-colored strawberry purée with just enough sweetness to suit our liking. The inherent sweetness of the red beans was beautifully conveyed. Augmented by the pleasantly chewy grass jelly, this light dessert was creamy and satisfying. It’s the type that fills you up without weighing you down. 🙂

Price for Value:

Moon Rabbit Cafe+Restaurant in Greater San Juan doesn’t stick to the traditional definition of authentic Chinese cuisine, and that’s what makes it alluring. It offers a good balance of classic Chinese food and unique elements served in a modern style and setting. Overall, the dishes we tried were decent and good. Prices were not modest considering the serving sizes, but not too extravagant either. I think you get what you pay for.

Review of Happy Garden Cafe (Bel-Air, Makati City)

Happy Garden Cafe is such a great name for a “garden” cafe as it adeptly fits the ambiance. Indoor plants everywhere set the stage for a secluded retreat from the surrounding concrete. It’s a spot that mixes the inside and outside well. So if you’re looking to take a break from the urban grind in Makati City, Happy Garden Cafe is the place to be. It serves a variety of excellent food fare with clean and healthy ingredients including gluten-free and vegetarian delights. My sister chose this venue to celebrate her birthday this year. 🙂

Review of Happy Garden Cafe (Bel-Air, Makati City)

Ambiance:

Whether for a casual evening or meal with your pals, Happy Garden Cafe supplies well-executed food in an indoor garden-like contemporary, “unhurried” atmosphere. Hanging plants and flowers and lounge chairs with green upholstery line the area and complete the theme. There’s even a part where you can spend a large family gathering or hold a special event. We took advantage of the balloon decors and backdrop setup for a birthday party since we came early for dinner. 😉 At the front, they sell Bizu pastries, bread, and other packaged food.

Food:

We went straight to the mains, not minding the appetizers. 🙂

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Oj5gtnVZt/

Their OMG Pasta (PhP 495 – for sharing, PhP 265 – personal) closely resembles the traditional palabok but with more delectable elements in the mix. It consisted of crab fat, scallops, smoked fish, and angel hair shrimps shell sauce. The flavors were rich without leaving you in a food coma.

Ox Tongue with Mushroom Sauce (PhP 795) was delicious! Ordering anything with truffle sauce always turns out a good decision for us. The mushroom sauce was taken up a notch with white wine. We loved how the heady aroma even intensified the robust earthy flavors.

Wagyu Beef Salpicao on Shiitake Black Rice (PhP 495) was one of the highlights of the meal for me. It was composed of Saikoro wagyu “melt-in-your-mouth” beef cubes that demonstrated a really pure tenderloin beef taste.

Tofu with Black Pepper Sauce (PhP 295) is a vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free dish that treat tofu the way it deserves. It featured an intriguing display of flavors and textures with fresh shiitake mushrooms, mixed greens, tahini, and orange dressing.

In their Margherita Pizza (PhP 525), the boldness of the tangy tomato stood out most, which we liked a lot. It was nicely complemented by the pomodoro sauce and mozzarella cheese, all punctuated by overarching notes of fragrant basil. The crust had a puffy-edged character that I also enjoyed.

Price for Value:

Prices are generally on the expensive side but deliver good and reasonable value. Happy Garden Cafe in Makati dishes out straightforward, satisfying fare in a relaxed setting. This cafe represents the owners’ love for fresh food, even welcoming those with gluten intolerance. It’s doing an admirable job in nurturing the area with a great concept which combines approachable healthy dishes with comfort food favorites (without the guilt!). Check it out.

Review of Hanamaruken Ramen (Trinoma Mall, Quezon City)

Trinoma is relatively close to our home but we super seldom visit this mall for unknown reason. Anyway, we thought of watching a movie there recently. Before then, we had lunch at Hanamaruken Ramen. Originating in Osaka in 1982, this ramen joint exudes a street-style charm in a modern setting. Its branch in Trinoma is apparently its first outside Japan, so we were much excited to try some Japanese food classics right at the spot.

Review of Hanamaruken Ramen (Trinoma Mall, Quezon City)

Ambiance:

The ambiance offers good spaces for seating large groups. I like how Japanese decors were placed inside a glass wall, and the cage lighting inside even added up to an attractive visual display. A consistent gray color scheme and clean lines were followed throughout, giving a casual and upscale vibe.

Food:

The menu features recommendations and clear descriptions, names, and photos of food. Louie ordered Hanamaruken’s Signature Happiness Ramen (Half, PhP 445) without batting an eyelash. It’s the signature ramen bowl that’s said to be a masterpiece created by Founder Takaku Arakawa himself. For sure, it must be something really special. And indeed, it was a comforting dish with hearty ingredients and a rich aroma. We were surprised to learn that the half size is still actually quite large. A sheet of nori on the side has the words “Happiness is coming” written in Japanese. The broth is a mix of shoyu and tonkotsu, delivering both salty and savory flavors with pork undertones.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TZprhnsMD/

I got Hanamaruken’s Tan Tan Mien (PhP 390). Made with a porky, opaque pale broth, their version of tonkotsu came with a sticky-lipped intensity and tiny nubbins of fat and minced pork swimming around on the surface. Sesame paste and curry tasted great, with tolerable heat. No doubt, this is the ultimate meal-in-a-bowl for me and one of the things I’d think of when you say comfort food.

For our standalone side dishes, we got a serving each of Tiger Prawn Tempura (PhP 580) and Gyoza (PhP 240). The tempura was tagged with a hefty price, but it was worth it! With a gorgeous crunch, it’s one of best tempuras we’ve had. I fell in love with my first bite. 🙂 The freshness of the prawn was so evident, and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavor and natural sweetness that came from it without being distracted by the crispy tempura skin.

Their Gyoza was fine as well but not an absolute must-try. The filling was nicely seasoned and tasted better with the dipping sauce.

Price for Value:

Hanamaruken Ramen is known for serving bowls of soul-satisfying ramen that bring happiness. Prices are not too friendly to the budget, but patrons don’t mind. The signature taste, aroma, and flavors of each dish drive people to explore more and more into a heavenly happy ramen world. Bring your family here to experience slurp-worthy ramen, and you can’t go wrong. We’re also willing to try their rice bowls next time!

Review of Wangfu Chinese Cafe (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Located in Il Terrazzo, Wangfu in Tomas Morato serves Singaporean-Chinese comfort food that’s simple yet incredibly delicious. Walk inside and there’s no mistaking what you’re here for. There are so many different ingredients at play on their menu, and the sum of their parts is outstanding. Since it’s housed in a strip mall, it’s a good place for a casual weeknight dinner or a quick lunch. If you’re in the area craving Singaporean or Chinese food, stop on in! 🙂

Review of Wangfu Chinese Cafe (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Ambiance:

The ambient lighting, the comfortable and chic chairs, the cool palette or grays, orange and crystalline reflections as well as accents make up a casual vibe at Wangfu. This is a Chinese cafe where good conversations, heartfelt laughter, and great moments come to life. I love how the walls were made to look like the exterior of Singaporean shophouses. These cultural features bring the feeling of being transported to Singapore.

Food:

The Hong Kong Style Pork Chop Rice (PhP 198) came with a generous serving of rice, topped with a cheesy cream sauce and tender pork chops. A very cozy sort of dish.

If you’re ordering a rice bowl, it will be hard to resist the urge to get the Nanyang Milk Tea (served hot or cold) so just let it happen (add P40). The milk tea tastes authentic with just the right balance of milk and tea.

Stir Fried Ramen (PhP 138) was quite enjoyable, with excellent plump and juicy noodles and a nice chewiness.

Salted Egg Fried Squid (PhP 398) demonstrated a mix of crispy and supple textures that played well. Taste was salty and savory yet flavorful you’ll be messaging your friends before you even wipe your fingers off! We’re big fans of this dish.

Price for Value:

Wangfu in Il Terrazzo delivered pretty much exactly what it advertised: a mash-up of Singaporean-Chinese food favorites that hit the spot. Prices may not be on the cheap side but are reasonable given the quality and tastes of food served. We’re excited to visit for another great meal! Dimsum, Cereal Prawns, Wangfu Hainanese Chicken Rice, and Hong Kong Style Seafood Rice all look awesome on the menu. 🙂

Review of Yoshimeatsu (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Craving for Korean bbq and Japanese food at the same time? Yoshimeatsu has your back! This restaurant offers the best of both worlds for a great lunch out with friends or family. I love that it has a clear differentiating factor vs. the usual Korean unli samgyupsal restaurants that line the city. Here you can get unlimited servings of ebi tempura, sushi, and more–on top the fresh meat cuts for grilling on the table—for only P549! 🙂 We had been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time now. Thankfully, the queue wasn’t long when we got there on a weekend, and we were escorted to our seats immediately. Here’s a review of Yoshimeatsu.

Review of Yoshimeatsu (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Ambiance:

Yoshimeatsu’s interior design and decors aren’t much of a turn-on, but you’re not here for anything except for their fantastic servings of food. The ventilation is quite good but there’s no assurance that you won’t walk out smelling like the intensely smoky meats. The setting is pretty casual, with Korean MTVs (videos of K-pop idols) playing on loop on a TV.

Service:

Hands down to their super fast and efficient staff! The kitchen prepares orders and releases beautifully plated meat for grilling so the waiters just have to serve them as requested. Customers order through the tablet mounted per table, so there’s no need to desperately call the attention of the busy staff.

We also noticed that this branch of Yoshimeatsu at Tomas Morato employs a lot of staff, so rest assured that you’ll quickly get their attention if needed. Used plates and napkins are out of the table at once, grill is replaced before it gets totally burned, and glasses get refilled with water before you know it.

One thing I also liked about Yoshimeatsu is that all basic orders are already set on the table once the customers arrive. If you’re hungry, you won’t get hangry. 🙂 When someone is celebrating his birthday, the team of staff will harmoniously sing the Happy Birthday song and give out a cake made of stacked sushi. Excellent customer service overall!

Food:

Yoshimeatsu’s dishes are all pretty good and tasty. Be ready to get smoked and grab some friends to share delicious meats cooked up over charcoal grills. Japanese food staples for the “banchan” make all the difference. The menu features a section of side dishes and another for grilling. We got one of each and later ordered seconds. Our favorites were everything except the sakana tofu, weiner sausage, chicken liver, and pork intestine. It was surprising that their mashed potato was exceptionally good, too.

Here you get to grill your tenderly-marinated meat to your own liking, while indulging in free-flow kani salad, buta dumplings, Kyoto beef roll, spicy tuna maki, ebi tempura, and California maki among others while enjoying Korean kimchi as well. The round barbecue grill has a groove on the outer ring where the server pours beaten egg into the ring for you to cook it just the way you like, runny or firm. The eggs apparently help to soften the spiciness from the meat. Very thoughtful! All meats are already marinated so dipping them into the bean paste or other condiments is optional. Wrap a piece up in a lettuce leaf with some kimchi and you get a full kick of flavors. For dessert, their mango and leche flan soft served ice cream with a cone is also a must-try.

Price for Value:

Metro Manila is a blessed city for Korean BBQ. The spots are basically located in one corner next to one another, and many of them are very good. Check out Yoshimeatsu in Tomas Morato for another great K-BBQ experience. At only P549 (promo rate), their grilled meat and Japanese food staples bring dining to a new level you won’t elsewhere at this point.

Review of TADEO Filipino Mexican Comfort Food (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Love Mexican cuisine and Filipino food? Tadeo in Tomas Morato, QC is right up your alley. My brother-in-law recommended this restaurant for us to try. It’s a certified Let’s Eat Pare-approved restaurant, which means that the top food community in the Philippines today believes in their inventive and elevated take on Fil-Mex food. Last week, we checked this place out and were amazed with the interesting and unique tastes of food, especially their burritos and nachos. One bite and you’ll be a believer! 😛

Review of TADEO Filipino Mexican Comfort Food (Tomas Morato, Quezon City)

Ambiance:

The industrial setting has a minimalist vibe. With only a limited number of tables and chairs, Tadeo easily gets tightly packed even with the fast and helpful staffers that start serving customers as they arrive. It showcases a hip scene with no frills and no pretension. There’s an open kitchen where you can really see how staff prepares and cooks the food. We were lucky to be seated in the bar area so we got a first-row view of everything. Ambiance is really casual and modest. So don’t judge the decor, judge the wonderful dishes. 😉 Tadeo’s location is somewhat hidden but it’s well worth the trip to find it.

Food:

At Tadeo, food variants are delightful and creative, featuring “next-level” dishes that are out of the ordinary. While their dishes might not register high on the authenticity scale, they each bring a special sizzle to the food scene. You won’t get disappointed when expecting a novel twist!

Sinigang Burrito by TADEO Filipino Mexican Comfort Food

Fittingly for pica, we began with Layered Beef Nachos (PhP 230), which perfectly achieved the perfect gooey-to-crunchy ratio. It consisted of beef guisado, Annatto cheese sauce, beans, tomato, and onions. The various accompaniments make up a great flavor and texture combination.

Next, the Inihaw na Mais or Elote (PhP 75) was served hot. We watched how the corn was grilled in front of us, so it was extra exciting to know how it tasted. The result? We all liked it. Calamansi sour cream, grated cured egg, and calamansi were put together incredibly that will leave you wanting more.

Loaded with sharp cheddar, mozzarella, emmental, Tadeo’s Chicken Inihaw Quesadilla (PhP 180) was made with well-seasoned lean chicken breast that offered a balance with the cheese. Its crisp golden brown exterior is something truly satisfying. Talk about delicious Fil-Mex comfort food everyone will go crazy for!

My vote for the most flavorful dish of our meal goes to the Binagoongan Burrito (PhP 260). It was made with crispy pork, eggplant, tomato, and bagoong rice. This will leave you feeling just filled, not overloaded. It’s a real gem on the menu. I can imagine eating this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Dive in!

Tilapia Fish Rebosado Taco (PhP 160) is the kind of fish taco I crave. It’s made with fried battered tilapia fish, garlic sour cream, red radish, red cabbage, tomato, and spring onion. Altogether, these ingredients add up to taste ultra-fresh and nice, yet they still feel light and healthy. Don’t skip it!

Price for Value:

Tadeo in Tomas Morato offers food at reasonable and inexpensive prices. No wonder it’s a destination for foodies! The serving of each dish can be good for 1-2 people. While straight-up delicioso tacos and burritos make the headline on their short, top-notch menu, guests are always welcome to try their special dishes like pork sisig and pollo inasal. Since the space is quite small for a large group of people (>3 pax), there’s a wait to get in, but the reward is a permanent smile on your face and a happy tummy. 🙂

Gringo Welcomes Holiday 2019 with New Dishes and Food Boards

Gringo, your friendly amigo and jovial host who loves food and fun, makes celebrations more memorable as he treats your family and friends with a muy delicioso party filled with a special new dish and two Holaday Boards. To prepare for the holiday season of 2019, Gringo has been spending lots of time in the kitchen to come up with dishes to make you come back for more! This time, Gringo is introducing his own version of Lechon Cubano.

The Lechon Cubano, a slow-roast, Cuban-style lechon belly, is marinated with a special mixture of aromatics. It is perfectly crunchy and crispy on the outside, yet truly tender on the inside – somewhat like Gringo who has a soft spot for families and friends who gather together for a meal during the season of sharing.

Drizzled with a special Chimichurri sauce, Gringo is offering the Lechon Cubano in different sizes: Chikito (for one), Pepito (for two to three) and Bendito (for four to five). This can also come in set meals with sides. But for office parties and potluck celebrations, make sure to get the Fiesta Pack which is good for eight.

Celebrations are more fun with friends – especially those who also help in the kitchen! So Gringo invited over his friends Sancho and Buena to help him whip up this year’s Holaday Boards.

Sancho, who loves his meat dishes, is serving his ‘Sancho Board’ featuring his new favorite – the Lechon Cubano. Meanwhile, their amiga Buena is sashaying in seafood realness with her ‘Buena Board’ that is highlighted by Tilapia fingers with Salsa Verde. Both Holaday Boards include a combination of Gringo’s bestsellers such as the Original Roast Chicken and BBQ Ribs. Each board also comes with four soft tacos, a platter of rice, side of nachos, and a pitcher of delightful house-brewed iced tea.

Now, a feast with Gringo, Sancho, and Buena is not complete without sweets! The Holaday Boards, which can fill up four to six amigos, are served with a special limited-time only dessert that’s off the menu – the Ube de Queso.

With a special dish and sharable food boards, homey ambience with friendly staff, and accessible locations nationwide, Gringo is the ultimo destination of your next celebrations. Say hola! to good times and good food!

To see Gringo and feel his warm welcome, visit the restaurant outlets located in Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Ayala Malls The 30th, Ayala UP Town Center, Festival Mall, O Square 2 Greenhills, Palanca St. cor. Dela Rosa in Makati; SM CDO Downtown Premiere, SM Dasmariñas, SM Fairview, SM Legazpi, SM Manila, SM Marilao, SM Megamall, MAAX (beside SM MOA Arena), SM North EDSA, SM Santa Rosa, SM Sucat, and The Fort in BGC.

About Gringo:

Ever since it started its first branch in SM North EDSA in April 2016, Gringo has been winning the hearts (and bellies) of people of all ages, making the branches grow today at 19. Its latest branch just opened in SM Dasmariñas.

Gringo, a homegrown, potluck-themed restaurant, has elevated flavorful flame-grilled chicken and fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs that are perfect for sharing for any occasions and celebrations.
