Foodspotting the Metro

Belinda Cayapan: The Cliffhanger has become my favorite in this bit-pricey joint. It's basically a clubhouse sandwich gone tempura-breaded french toast. Can be greasy so pressing it between my paper napkin is a must.

Belinda Cayapan: A restaurant serving coffee or a coffee shop offering meals?? With a pretty huge and diverse menu, it can be a hit-or-miss game at any UCC Vienna Cafe. Menu can be pricey so good luck on food choices!

Belinda Cayapan: The Dynamite Roll. Not impressive. Was expecting wasabi or smoking-hot flavor but it totally didn't live up to its name. Nice to look at with generous cuts of salmon but comes with a steep price tag.

Belinda Cayapan: Ultimate shopping and dining experience at this prime location of a commercial complex. Check out Koi Village, Rustan's, Dayrit's, Magyar, Pancake House, Golden Spoon, and of course, Starbucks!

Belinda Cayapan: No-frills, Chinese restaurant serving classic, homestyle dishes. Reasonably-priced too. Do check out the Lechon Kawali, Steamed Fish Fillet, and my favorite Machang. Pardon the sleepy service though.

Belinda Cayapan: Satisfy your sweet-tooth with my newest Amici favorite, Nocciola Gateau! Indulge in a delectable concoction of hazelnut cream cheese and rich dark chocolate in layers of crunchy meringue. Mmm...

Belinda Cayapan: Roka Salata and Moussaka. All-time favorites, always present on the trapezi!

Belinda Cayapan: Try the sour cream cheese cake. It's tangy, good after a rich, savory meal.

Belinda Cayapan: Dessert anyone? Choose your gelato! Decisions, decisions...

Belinda Cayapan: Classic aglio olio spaghetti, smokey prosciutto and mushroom pizza, and hearty meat lasagna top my list. Dig in!

Belinda Cayapan: Heads up! Chef Florabel Co herself might just be in the kitchen if you're lucky. So eyes up from the table and look around once in a while. She might even drop by to say hello. Read more.

Belinda Cayapan: Aglio Olio pasta, Salmon penne, Vegetariana pizza! Specially yummy when dining w/ close friends. Delizioso!

Belinda Cayapan: The Dynamite Roll. Not impressive. Was expecting wasabi or smoking-hot flavor but it totally didn't live up to its name. Nice to look at with generous cuts of salmon but comes with a steep price tag.

Belinda Cayapan: In the mood for protein overload? Try the Meat Platter, a feast of bbq baby back ribs, grilled beef and pork chops, and fried chicken steak. Eat leisurely to savor all the meaty goodness. Bon appetit!

Belinda Cayapan: Try the Avenetto Platter. Buffalo Wings, Crabsticks, And French Fries With Ranch And Marinara Dips - #homestyle

Belinda Cayapan: Their beef tenderloin salpicao is very good. Try it medium rare. Shrimp green curry is a must-try too.

Belinda Cayapan: Green tea with rock salt and cheese rocks!

Belinda Cayapan: Love the beef burrito and cheese enchilada plate w/ red iced tea.

Belinda Cayapan: Shrimp caesar salad, baby back ribs and cheesecake. My burgoo happy meal!

Belinda Cayapan: Seafood Pesto on Fetuccini, less pesto please, is a winner. Aglio Olio? The pasta station can whip it for you even when it's absent from the menu card. Just smile and ask the sous chef nicely. ;-)

Belinda Cayapan: Paella, callos and lengua are fave comfort foods. Service can be a drag if you don't reserve a table and order in advance. Food here is meant to be enjoyed so take your time to savor every bite. Read more.

Belinda Cayapan: A new generation of finger-lickin' savory, crunchy chicken minus the grease. Light on the tummy, goes well w/ beer! Best while watching sports w/ your best buds. (^_-)

Belinda Cayapan: Try some of the house specialties for meatlovers. Garlic studded pork belly lechon and Memphis BBQ beef back ribs top the list. Not for the faint-hearted though. (^_^)

Belinda Cayapan: Their coffee prep are way better than Starbucks IMO.

Belinda Cayapan: Check out coffee and tea preps and free wifi. Nice furniture too, showroom of Filipino Creazione de Mano. :D Read more.

Belinda Cayapan: Check out the nice furniture and free wi-fi. Cafe also serves as furniture showroom.

Belinda Cayapan: Sarap sulit all-in! Try the A Veneto platter. Pasta? Chicken carbonara, chicken nut-pesto, and sausage aglio olio are tops. Pizza? Go all-meat, vegetarian or New York style. Check out the mural pls!!!

Belinda Cayapan: The Smoked Salmon and the Crabstick Celery sandwiches, both on lightly toasted ciabatta bread, are personal favorites. I can live off 'em!

Belinda Cayapan: So here's the lowdown: crispy kare-kare, crispy ribs sinigang, boneless crispy pata, seafood inasal, seared tilapia in gata, ginataang monggo with bagnet, and bibingka soufflé. Enough said. ;-)

Belinda Cayapan: Try the kapeng barako and bibingka soufflé for merienda. Barako blend also good for a quick "pick-me-up" after a carbo-loaded, sleep-inducing lunch! ;-)

Belinda Cayapan: Don't forget to use the coupons from the Starbucks Planner for complimentary add-ons, upgrades, and even free coffee!

Belinda Cayapan: Green tea with rock salt and cheese rocks!

Belinda Cayapan: Decisions, decisions... Looking at the full dessert bar, with the gelato and the cakes, I get weak in the knees. Everything there is simply divine, seriously!

Belinda Cayapan: Shrimp caesar salad, baby back ribs and cheesecake. My burgoo happy meal! Read more.

Belinda Cayapan: Never been a tofu fan. Should have stuck to my usual sushi and sashimi. Found the dish totally bland even if slathered in sauce. For its part, sauce was yummy but lost character paired with the tofu.

Belinda Cayapan: Menu is extensive and informative enough for those with dietary restrictions. Food never fails to satisfy our taste buds. Price is affordable so that P1,000 can feed 4-6 persons. Just request water.

Belinda Cayapan: Try the California Roast Beef Sandwich. A certified classic. Definitely worth the bucks!

Belinda Cayapan: Cheesecake ala Queso de Bola (Edam Cheeseball) FTW! Mouthgasmic... <3

Belinda Cayapan: Salmon wasabi cream is yummy! But then again, you can't go wrong with salmon. Try the plain sashimi and sushi versions too.

Belinda Cayapan: Must try the Green Tea Frap! Orig blend or create your own. Mine is blended with soy milk, 10% less sugar, and minus the whipped cream.

ToryBurch: This eclectic spot serves up a different kind of Asian fusion—Filipino food with a blend of Thai, Chinese and Japanese. Try the lapu lapu fillet with tamarind sauce.
