We Filipinos enjoy food very much whenever and whatever the occasion is. Eating is one form of bonding for us. Sometimes or rather more often we enjoy and explore different kinds of food and that's why there's a lot of food outlets in the country. We really love food. 

In my case, my family enjoys strolling in the mall and after that its eating time, and where do we usually have that time... where else but at SM Supermalls. I think we have visited a lot of their malls  our favorite and perhaps because it is much closer are SM North EDSA and SM Fairview.

The K-Pop and the Korean food, these are just some of the things that millennials are enjoying today. As for me, well I like the food. And speaking of food I was one of the invited bloggers to check out this newest hangout in Mother Ignacia. The establishment is just a few months in its operation but somehow taking the waves of popularity, not just because it's new but because of what it offers to their guests.
The place is called Oh My Restaurant, a Korean inspired place to spend the night after a tiring day at work. Take note the establishment is just in front of ABS CBN. In case you might want to bump into one of ABS CBN's Celebrities, well it's a place to be. In our case, well Jai Ho of MOR was there and it was great knowing that they love the place and of course enjoys the foods that Oh My Restaurant serve. The place is suited for chill time.
There are five (5) things to discover at Oh My Restaurant.

2. Second, the restaurant is a mixed bar and restaurant that's why it is a great place to hang out, to chill and to relax.
3. Third, some celebrities do dine here and enjoys the food and the place.

OH MY RESTAURANT
#

One of the most celebrated month in the calendar, December. And what's best of this month? It's the food feast because as early as first week of December there are different celebrations already. Marking the celebration of Christmas, the yuletide season. Big or small group there's always the problem of getting food but of course there's the solution as always like the party platter.

Why party platter? Here are 5 advantages that can help you decide in getting the party platter.

1. Party Platters are pre-set meals that is intended for a certain number of people that will certainly ease the torment of cooking and preparing. 
2. Easy and manageable, the party platter gives you an ease in the preparation and of course the after party cleaning. 
3. Your own choices of food. When you get a party platter you know already what you'll be getting for the guests and you can already maximize it. 
4. You can get in just a store near your place. What's great is that they sometimes have delivery options that will give ease in ordering. 
5. Lastly, You get to enjoy more of the party and the food rather than worrying yourself about the preparation and getting the food. 

So, good thing that Tien Mas offers Party Platter that is good for 10-12 pax per order so you easily budget the food for the party. Worry-free.

Just contact the nearest branch in your place and enjoy your party with Tien Mas party platter.

15 isn't always the number for payday but knowing that you'll be having moolah on that day is one great of a number to enjoy. And the thing is that you'll be having money to spend in one of the great restaurants in the metro, Beeffalo.

Yes, just few months ago Beeffalo opened a new branch in a little city of San Juan. The restaurant is constructed in a not so isolated area beside a car wash. Not in a commercial center but is a great place to hang out with friends and families. It's a 50-seater restaurant that is already gaining popularity in the area. "We felt it was time to grow the business and reach out to a wider audience. So many establishments in Marikina have copied us so we want to conquer a new area," General Manager, Louie Abad shared.
Beeffalo or Beeffalo by Hotrocks started entertaining guests in 2013 at an obscure area of Marikina. Far away from the busy thoroughfare and was not easy to find. "It was like dining in the middle of nowhere, that was the magic of the place," according to Beeffalo general manager, Mr. Louie Abad. Still, the restaurant's name manage to reached a lot of customers and through the word of mouth their best-selling ribs and steaks were the talk of the town.


Beeffalo's concept is more of a place to relax and enjoy. "We want it to be a place where families can go to chill, have good food, then extended kwentuhan over coffee and dessert," described by Sir Louie. "We'd like to keep the identity of it being a destination restaurant, a place that encourages people to go out of their way to visit," he added.

So to give you more of the idea about their menu I list down 15 foods and beverage that I've tasted, enjoyed and longed to visit again for another round of great food. This is actually based on their serving.

• 1. Cucumber Lemonade - Natural and it's great for people wanted to have the good old fruit juices. If you're an avid fan of fruit juices better go with the bottomless drinks. 

• 2. Nachos - For a start if you're still not in the mood to eat heavy, nachos is one of the best appetizers. With Beeffalo's Nachos they have one dip, aside from the salsa, that I like and I'm sure kids will surely love, their spinach dip. Kids won't noticed that it was a spinach. 

• 3. Biscuit Pizza: Garlic and Mushroom - I'm a fun of mushrooms and garlics and having them on top of a think crust pizza with sauce and cheese all over, man it tastes yummy. 

• 4. Biscuit Pizza: Margherita - Just like the garlic and mushroom, this one is also appetizing. The crust is just right for the toppings, complementing each flavor and ingredients.

• 5. Taco BBQ Salad - I'm not much of a health buff but man I really love salad very much. Mixing the tacos with barbeque sauce and the lettuce is a good pair to have if you're trying to get out of the usual carbs and fatty foods.

• 6. Broccoli-Cheese Soup - If you hate broccoli then you might want to reconsider because Beeffalo's Broccoli-Cheese Soup is a good way to start the meal. A hot, healthy and flavorful soup to warm up the tummy. 

• 7. Roasted Pumpkin - If you still don't like broccoli then you might want to stick with the usual pumpkin soup but this one is a bit different because it is roasted.  You'll see that the soup is not the common color of pumpkin soups. 

• 8. Beeffalo Wings - Their wings is an original buffalo style which comes in Hot or Sweet. You can order spicy or sweet or mix and it comes with a blue cheese dip which makes it even tastier. 

• 9. Chicken Barbecue - This particular dish is one of their best-seller. Like what Sir Louie mentioned this is an old family recipe, so it only means that this and together with the other dishes comes with a secret herbs and spices that makes it tastier and yummier. Of course a Chicken Barbecue is best paired with a Java rice. 

• 10. Buttermilk Fired Chicken - This recipe is a commissioned recipe of one of the brands and this made it to one of the leading magazine. This is served with creamy gravy, mashed potato or garlic rice. Take note their mashed potato is out from the scratch which still fills in the true flavor. 

• 11. Baby Back Ribs Full Rack - Now if you're a fun of baby back ribs this one is just a must have in Beeffalo. Aside from knowing that this is one of their best-sellers, it is also I so far is the most affordable baby back ribs. Soft, yummy and it gets you enjoy the flavor. Of course it is also served in single. Advise get the full rack. 

• 12. Porterhouse - Meatlovers surely will enjoy the feast as Beeffalo's porterhouse is one meat to enjoy. Cooked just right and served just fine.

• 13. Grilled Salmon (New Offering) - This yummy fish delight is one to have on your table when you visit Beeffalo. Not yet for serving but better watch out for it. Your good excuse for meats. 

• 14. Brazo de Mercedes - If sweets are heaven I would definitely love to float around. 

• 15. Dulce de Leche Cheesecake - Another sinful treat from Beeffalo is their Dulce de Leche Cheesecake.

"All comfort food. We are very particular about what we serve, only those that live up to our personal standards and agree with our palates, but nothing fancy. Beeffalo is not pretentious and our pricing is pretty reasonable," Sir Louie pointed out and as I've checked the pricing with its good food and serving Php350 is fair deal.

The woman behind these exquisite dishes is Sir Louie's wife, Girlie Cosio-Abad. Acts as Beeffalo's executive chef, of which she applied her love for cooking and he enthusiasm in providing the best dish. Together with their friend Caren Diaz who handles finance made a good team in bringing Beeffalo to where it is now.
