Gudo Pizza Pasta Steak Peri Peri

Gudo Pizza Pasta Steak Peri Peri (reminds me of Pen Pineapple Apple Pen XD) is located at 17 Congressional Avenue Extension, brgy pasong tamo,  Quezon City, 1107 Metro Manila. It's open everyday from 12-10pm.

2 Floors

the ambience is typical and warm even though it was pouring outside.

Menu

The price is really affordable for the generous servings and tasty dishes.

well done steak with mashed potato PHP185

medium rare steak with mashed potato PHP185

peri peri chicken with rice PHP135

beef lasagna PHP180

bacon & onion pizza PHP160

I'm not really a steak person so I prefer it well done and it was good. The mashed potato was good, the pizza looks pale but was surprisingly good too. It's a nice place with delicious and affordable food.. worth the travel.

Don Day by Day Don Don Don

Don Day offers a buffet of Korean BBQ and other Korean dishes. It has 4 branches I think but we tried the one at Quezon Avenue near BIR RDO 40.

For PHP499, you get unlimited Buffet Food, Samgyupsal (Pork) and Woosamgyup (Beef) BBQ.

Food available at the buffet table. You can also opt to just get the Buffet Food and Samgyupsal (Pork) for PHP399 or the Buffet Food only for PHP299.

My friends say the carbonara was good.

I didn't really taste much of the food in the buffet table. I just frequent the section for the Korean BBQ side dishes, sauces and wraps. 

Good thing we have a designated cook per table, (we can focus on eating) XD 

I assume the couple running around owns the place. They were very hands on and ajumma was even teaching us how to enjoy korean bbq. 

I always enjoy Korean bbq. I like wrapping the meat in lettuce leaves with a bit of kimchee and their special sauce. 

We were 5 in the table, 4 girls and the cook. We were 2nd to the last to quit eating. I can't even count how many plates of woosamgyup (beef) we ate.

You pay separately for ice cream and drinks.

additional PHP50 for unlimited iced tea

Team Matcha cheat day XD

Tama Yaki: Oishi Takoyaki!

Another place in my to-try list is Tama Yaki, located at SM North Edsa near the cinemas beside Cold Stone. They specialize in takoyaki and milk tea. They have some bentos too.

The place is really kawaii. It's a nice spot to hangout and chit chat with friends while eating deliscious takoyaki and sipping tea.

The Menu

We were quite hungry and were looking forward to their rice meals as well but it wasn't available anymore. Most of the teas weren't available too like they don't have riceballs and mochis so that was quite a let down.

But moving on, we ordered 3 takoyaki flavors. 2 seasoned octopus, 1 mussels and cheese and 1 smoked Mackerel.

Out of the 3, I liked mussels and cheese the most and then seasoned octopus but all of them were yummy that I'm craving for it right now. ^_^ I ate 3 takoyaki balls and was already full probably because of the milk tea.

For the milk tea, I tried the macha milk tea with cocoa. I liked it, but if you want a safer choice go for Tama Yaki milk tea with pearl.

It was a fun friday night well spent with friends. I'll certainly go back to try other flavors as well. :)

Ramen Nagi

Ramen Nagi has recently opened its new branch at G/F SM North Edsa and being the ramen lover that I am, I tried it out with my friends.

The ambiance was nice and simple with that japanese feel. This place gets crowded most of the time so we decided to come in early to avoid waiting.

You can see your meal being prepared in their kitchen and they serve it pretty fast too.

They have very attentive staff which will make you feel welcome once you step inside the restaurant.

The Menu

There are 4 main dishes/ramen to choose from. Original, Red, Black and Green King/Butao. 

The Original of course is the best seller and the safest choice if it's your first time to try ramen.

Try the Red King if you're in for a spicy treat. Chef's recommended spiciness level is 1 but for Red King it's automatic 5 so... yeah it's that spicy.

I tried the Black King since it's different and I'm in my adventurous mood when I ordered and I wasn't dissapointed at all. It was really good.

Then there's the Green King. I'm not a fan of green leafy vegetables and healthy stuff so ordering it was out of the question for me.

They will give you a piece of paper where you'll choose your order and how you want your ramen done.

This is what I ordered. I chose normal for most of it. If you're not sure and want to be enligthened, you can ask their friendly staff and they'll explain the choices.

As I've mentioned, this was really good that the Original will pale in comparison as the flavors are richer and more intense.

Tamago! Ordered separately.

Original King, their best seller. Forgot to take the picture earlier so the presentation was already messed up haha.

Condiments.

The servings were generous enough that most of us didn't get to finish everything. Too bad they don't allow take outs for left overs. 

We forgot to order gyoza and we were so full after eating ramen that we didn't order anymore.

Needless to say, I fell in love with the place. The ambiance, the service, the staff, the food and all were perfect so two thumbs up for Ramen Nagi! ^_^
