BAGOONG CLUB is not a high class expensive restaurant. In fact for those who have tried it, it actually is very reasonable. However, I have rarely gotten the kind of service we received from BAGOONG CLUB even from very expensive establishments.

A fresh face in the restaurant scene recently opened in the Food Alley of the Ortigas Home depot strip – Berting’s Grill. With very simple designs and fixtures, Berting’s draw is not the ambiance but the good food and drinks – and of course the company. Its specialty is LECHON MANOK freshly grilled instead of the usual roasted method. They also have the usual fare of fried tilapia and liempo.

I’ve recently been introduced to Panciteria Lido located at the Capital Towers along E. Rodriguez in New Manila. The name sounded familiar and true enough, it was one of those restaurants that my family went to in Binondo, Manila. 
Since 1936, this establishment has been serving customers their famous Pugon Roasted Asado and an assortment of Chinese dishes.

So, what happens when …

We all know Mushroom Burger from our trips to Tagaytay.  The quaint shop along Km. 60 main road is a major stop over for those who fancy a different type of burger.

Good news to city folks! They have a branch over at West Avenue in Quezon City.  I was thrilled …

It was movie night and despite of the rain and expected arrival of Typhoon Pepeng, we decided to leave the house.  We had an hour to kill before we get our popcorn and I was starving!  I wanted something different so it was decided — Mexicali here we come.

We all ordered …

The picture you see below is what I ordered at FlapJacks TechnoHub, a mouth-watering Banana Split Crepe.  Was this my first choice? No it wasn’t.  I wanted to eat their version of the Mango Crepe topped with caramel sauce.  So, what changed my mind? Great customer service did.

Drin, a server …

Pepper Lunch’s feedback mechanism is great compared to other restaurants. They have different mediums and tools to ensure customer feedback gets to the appropriate personnel. “It has been a bit more than a year since they opened their doors and now they have two more locations.”
