Try and ask an attendant of a newly opened restaurant about its management and ownership, and in all likelihood the answer would be familiar: It belongs to a popular chain, which has spun off to serve food that differs from its original offering or expertise. Two such outlets are succeeding in their new identities, gaining loyal foodies on their own merits.
Two restaurants offering different cuisines so impressed us with excellent food and service that we resolve to return.
Over the last fortnight this diner had highly contrasting dining experiences—one of great disappointment and the other, quite pleasing.
Competition among restaurants today is very strong, it’s a “dog eat dog” situation. Dining places open and close, but there are those that have remained steadfast and versatile. Let us call those that have continued in the business for years, the “durables.” Two of these have steady patronage for the quality of food and service.
The Molito Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa, is fast teeming with restaurants offering different cuisines. In the highly populous Cubao, Quezon City, a part of a long-existing Italian restaurant chain has remained extremely popular.
Traveling from Metro Manila, either toward the north or south, the motorist is faced with so many dining places along the highway, most of which belong to hamburger chains and the usual eateries found in the big city.
Molito, which means “small mall,” is a new shopping complex in Alabang that’s buzzing with the opening of chain eateries, among them Wooden Horse Steak House, which serves good beef. In another part of town—in Eastwood, to be exact—a lechon fix is offered everyday at Somethin’ Fishy, an eat-all-you-can restaurant.
A chef of a new resto in Bonifacio Global City whips up a perfect paella. Another place entices residents and others to its Italian dishes in the confines of a tall condo building in Rockwell.
The interiors of an old hotel has been transformed into what is called today as Modern Glamour. An ancestral home has been converted into a restaurant with a nostalgic old-world charm.
The Burgos Circle in Forbes Town Center, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, is not easy to find. Looking for it, we ended up on the circuitous driveway of a tall building and ended down on street level down below.
