CHOPS Chicago Steakhouse

There are a lot of "steak" restaurants around Metro Manila but only a few can really claim that they are indeed a "steakhouse." CHOPS Chicago Steakhouse branch in the East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza is still a relatively new restaurant. However, this is already the second branch, the first one is located in Greenbelt 5.


CHOPS Chicago Steakhouse has a lovely and classy interiors. The place is not only ideal for dining but for meetings also as well as intimate gatherings. 



They also serve wine and other alcoholic drinks, and coffee. 


Complimentary focaccia bread. Something to munch on while waiting for your order. You can also ask for another serving of bread if you have a healthy appetite. It comes with butter instead of olive oil.


Ceasar Salad, P295. I like that the lettuce are crunchy even if the dressing is already poured on the salad. The amount of bacon is just right and not salty also. Perfect! Serving portion is also good for sharing. 


Lucky Luciano, P375. Now this is heaven! I forgot to ask why its called Lucky Luciano but this dish is a delicious layer of lasagna and beefy-goodness. Serving portion is good for sharing also. But then again, if you love lasagna like me, then you won't regret finishing the whole plate .. err, serving. ;)


Smoked Bacon & Broccoli, P180. So I stopped eating rice almost a year ago today but this dish is so delicious that it made me think of rice. The meat is very tender, no need to chew actually, and it has some spicy-garlicky sauce that is just perfect with the meat. The broccoli makes the dish healthy. If you drink wine, I suggest that you pair this dish with a glass of red wine. Magnifico! 


Truffle Mac n Cheese, P180. I did say that I like Lucky Luciano but upon first bite, the Truffle Mac n Cheese already stole my heart. I also love the fact that the cheese sauce didn't dry out as compared with the other mac n cheese that I've had before. And like the other dishes, the serving portion is good for sharing. Really, and it costs only P180! 


CAB Rib Eye, 1,250. CAB stands for Certified Beef Angus- yum! Who doesn't love steak? Hefty size also. Best eaten as soon as it lands on your table though. Skip taking photos because once it cools down, the meat is apt to get tough. 


Dark Chocolate Cigars, P290. I was torn between this and the Root Beer Cake but I'm glad that my lunch buddies insisted on getting this as well. Think barquillos coated with dark chocolate and filled with cream inside and served super cold. So good! 


Root Beer Cake, P215. I find this dessert interesting. Its like a lava cake with root beer and tons of cream. A bit on the sweet side though but tastes great. I'm happy that it comes with a piece of chocolate cigar. :D

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
