Tried it out just now. Soft opening at Greenbelt 5. I tried the spicy negi ramen based on foursquare tips and from the waiter. . .  And the verdict. . .  Drumroll please . . . Steady lang compared to the likes of ukokei. They lost me with their noodles. I buy that in the japanese grocery, I’m pretty sure its the same. Hehe. But dont take my word for it, I have a feeling some people prefer their type of ramen.

There’s a new korean place located at the 3rd floor of Greenbelt 5, Makati – Bulgogi Brothers. It’s the first franchise outside of korea and was brought in by the Bistro group. If you have their discount card, you can already use it there.

Bulgogi Brothers just opened and they have staff from Korea to guide the locals how its done for one whole month. The service was great considering that they just started out. They were very helpful and pleasant. The food took a while but they were very apologetic and made sure to update you on the status of your order, so that’s why I still think that the service was great. I did hear a couple of tables complaining but as long as they handled it I see it as the usual opening gitters. If the people serving are still smiling and is still there to take on all the complaints, then that’s good service in my book. The attitude counts for a lot. The delays and mix ups are operational and can easily be fixed in my opinion.

With regards to the place, it was cozy, you hear korean songs and see korean videos on the screens.

Moving on to the food. I don’t exactly know their names so I’m just gonna describe each. We tried the tofu dish, dobu or something and it was good. We ordered a kimchi soup, and if you like kimchi, this ones for you. We also ordered a seafood dish, it was spicy and if you know me, I love spicy. We also had a fried dimsum dish which was by accident coz it was lost in translation. We took it anyway, and it was good. Its seafood too by the way. Now for the bulgogi. We ordered the seoul style bulgogi that’s good for 6 people and it was G double O-D good. You can ask for extra broth. Yum yum. Pang kanin talaga. Hahaha. They cooked it right in front of you. Sort of worth the wait but don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be able to speed things up in the kitchen soon.

Anyway, the seoul style bulgogi wasn’t the star of the night. My brother was curiuos about the bulgogi burger and ordered it when asked if he wanted dessert. Haha. Nice! They cooked the bulgogi beef patty right in front of you while the fries and the rest of the items that make up the burger waited on the sidelines. It sizzled good while the korean server cooked it with care. Smells good too. I’ve never tasted a burger like it. It was brilliant!

So there, monster rates this as an excellent dining adventure. Ask for Micah, she was very pleasant and even wrote us a thank you note. Good job

So where do you run to if you just woke up hungry and can’t decide what to have for breakfast? First thing you do is google brunch buffet in makati and you’ll probabaly hit a few blogs talking about BFast, located at ayala triangle.

For 288 bucks, let them surprise you with what their brunch specials for the day. Today was surprisingly good, nilaga for soup, paella, bagoong fried rice, longga burger, 2 kinda of longga pasta, kick ass omelette and many more. Comes with refillable iced tea.

Monster rating: Sulit.

Oh and the place boasts of being green, recycled materials and all. Nice.

I think in my previous post I forgot to mention where the hell is dillingers. Its on the 3rd floor of Greenbelt 3 Makati. You’ll pass by yakimix and red box on your way there.

Anyway, if I get drunk at dillingers, first choice will probably still be the steak. But if i spent too much already on booze, this western bacon cheeseburger can satisfy any food trip you’ll probably have after a full nigt of dwinking. It has onion rings and the western flavor is mighty good.

I just realized that our food adventures are now dictated by the best deals we find online. I’m not complaining but just a few months ago, we only looked at blogs to spot the next mouthwatering adventure. Now, we look at both… Do they have a deal online and what are the reviews.

Anyway, back to what you really want to read about, the black angus ribeye steak. For 700 bucks, this is one of the most affordable steaks out there. It was huge! How was it? Hmmmm, HP sauce made it all work. First bite, quite good. Second bite, needs more sauce. 5th bite onwards I just got tired of eating it. Hahaha. It’s decent but not memorable.

You know those epic meals that you still remember how it tastes a few hours after? Where a burp brings back the goodness? Burp! This steak unfortunately didn’t make it for me.
