Another must try Burger brought to us by Empire Deli and Restaurant located at the Piazza, Mckinley Hills, Taguig.

First of all, I’m not a dessert person but I do know my chocolate.

Anyway, honest opinion on this chocolata, chocolate layered cake with ganache, its good but not great and what’s unfortunate and its probably not intentional is that it had a metal after taste. From the tray perhaps? Or my fork? Eeek.

I have yet to try the other cakes. Probably good. I dunno.

They’re located at the side of burgos circle, taguig. Let me know what we should try next.

They are conveniently located at one of the many entry points of MOA. I don’t know how to tell you exactly where they are but I’ll try – ground floor, walkway entrance, to your right, near Ace or was it True Value. Hahaha. Just ask.

A few interesting points from this dining adventure:

• According to our waitress – one of the owners is Japanese and the partner is Chinese. Interesting ey?
• This is the tastiest looking menu that I have ever seen. You will be overwhelmed.
• They have plastic renditions of their dishes laid out behind a glass window – looks amazingly real
• Cozy and lighting – excellent

Moving on the food, we ordered the following:

• Chicken teriyaki salad
• Garlic and Shrimp Pasta
• Forgot the name of the Burger – but its the one with the meat sauce
• Pork Cutlet
• Burger Steak

The chicken teriyaki salad good. I just hoped it had more teriyaki flavor. I could taste it, but I wanted more. Haha

Garlic and Shrimp Pasta… hmm. I guess I’m used to having garlic pasta paired up with really tasty items like steak or something grilled. Normally, if its paired with shrimp, I fancy having a tomato based sauce paired with it. Reason I’m saying that is because the shrimp got easily overpowered by the garlic – this is literally garlic, pasta, and a few additional ingredients – so if you love garlic, then go for this one. But I would still recommend that you pair it with one more dish. That’s just me.

Burger with meat sauce – this is your typical Japanese burger. I like it. It tastes like the one from Sango at Milelong but I like that one more. It has that distinct pepper taste that I find common in Japanese hamburger versions. Its not that big, but it satisfies your pallet. It comes with fries – not much, but we all know it pairs great with burgers.

Burger steak – hehehe, I was still hungry so I decided to try it out. 2 burger patties will fill you up quick! Same pepper taste that I love but this time it came with a tonkatsu like sauce sprinkled with spring onions. By the way, japanese rice was excellent!

Breaded pork cutlet (ordered by Jojo) was exactly what you would expect. There’s nothing extraordinary about it. No big deal, you can order it if you want a safe order that satisfies your cravings – you can never go wrong. It comes with a simple sauce so ask for some tonkatsu sauce to make it a bit more interesting.

Biscotti (Jhanki) ordered hot choco to finish the deal – as usual, chocolate is chocolate… yumyum.
