Kenny's Roast & Grill

Location: Powerplant Mall, Rockwell in Makati
My Take: I would say, this is a more classy version of the Kenny Rogers fast food chain. We were supposed to try Pepper Lunch, but the line was too long, and I was too tired of looking for other restos. Then just beside PL, there's this. We decided to try it out. The place is spacious, clean (and clean looking), the price of the meals are ok (not that expensive, but not that cheap, though). Nothing really spectacular with the food, its just that maybe, because of the ambiance, you'll get to appreciate this resto.. plus the fact that the service crew are nice and has pleasing personality. I would say that the taste of the food is just similar to the ordinary KR outlet we see in other malls.

House of Minis

Location: Julia Vargas, Ortigas
My Take: The place is cozy. I never imagined it to be cozy. Fit for dates, or family dinners. We ordered Porterhouse steak (regular) and Steak Ala Pobre (mini). It's actually affordable, because for less than 400 each, you'll get a complete meal - soup, dinner rolls, salad, the main course, dessert. Minus the drinks. It was one hearty meal that'll definitely leave you full.

Bagoong Club

Location: Sct. Lazcano, Tomas Morato, Quezon City
My take: The place exudes a homey feeling. The airconditioned portion of the house is small so limited guests can be accommodated. The non-aircon area - either near the zen-type garden is nice, but may be inconvenient especially during summer. They could've extended the airconditioned room in this portion, anyway, there's already an open area, almost at the garage-side of the house. The rest room is clean as well.. Anyway, the food's great. The Bagoong is really delicious. They have generous serving. My dad and I tried the litson kawali and kare kareng gulay. Their sawsawan is bagoong - bagoong balayan style for the pork.. and the delicious bagoong alamang for the kare kare. The price? It's affordable :)
