Claire Bear's Thoughts

It is just a small restaurant amidst houses and warehouses in a not so busy street of Obrero. However, when we went inside, there were actual diners having a peaceful meal and Tsinoys were also coming in. So I guess many know about this place. As we were checking their menu, I got a glimpse of their billboard which said that their house specialty is Honey Glazed Chicken and for only Php 150.00. And according to waiter Mory, whom I know from Rabio, the serving could feed a group of 3 already. So that's what we decided to order and added 2 orders of longanisa for Pia as she likes chorizos.

While they were grilling our orders, and they were grilling it fresh by the way which is a plus, I noticed that they have these lineup of pastries as well. Some cookies of all sorts were packed in 5s all worth Php 60.00 each. In their fridge were these beautifyfully-baked mini cupcakes of different sorts also. They had choco marble, banana muffins, huge macaroons, and more. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to memorize all their names. I didn't buy and try one though but this Tsinoy girl ordered a whole lot and while it was being boxed, she was picking one of each kind and ate them and she was obviously enjoying each bite so I guess they were delicious.

Grilling time didn't take much time as well, in less that 20 minutes, our orders were already neatly packed in foil with atsara as side dish to it. Now, after tasting the food, what I liked best about their spare ribs was that it was tender enough so you won't need to bite to the bone just so you could eat more of its meat. You can simply just your hands to release it from the ribs. It was also grilled just right, not overly done, not rare, just how I like it. But I would also have to say that the taste was not quite what I expected because it wasn't that "sarap to the bones" thing at all. But I guess, people have different preferences when it comes to their "inihaws."

Anyway, the station opens from 11AM and only until 9PM. It's located Vinzon St. and nearing Dacudao Avenue. For reservations or orders, call them at #224-0388.
