It's my first time to attend a food tasting event in Batangas with the KaBatang bloggers. Actually there were a lot of burger houses in Batangas City that opened last 2015 and until now. I'm even thinking that it can be called the Burger Capital of the Philippines. But with all the burger houses I went to eat wth my family and friends, this one have a different taste on it. And even when typing my food review makes me crave to it even more!!!

Gillians Diner is a London inspired burger house due to the reason that the owner went to London for 5 years and have work in a burger restaurant. The best thing about their burger is that it is charcoal-grilled. And it has a very unfamiliar lavishing taste!

Let's get down to business. Beef patty plus egg plus bacon plus veggies plus pineapples plus fries finish in 5 minutes and its free. But I suggest that you don't try the challenge on your first time eating this to experience its real taste! Stonehenge will surely satisfy your tummy! It is so juicy and full of flavor that you love! Everything is in it.  

Not an ordinary fries! At first I thought that it was topped with bacon chips but no! It was pure onions!!! With a spicy but sort of sweet taste then the cheese added a little bit of saltiness, DAEBAK!! I can't get enough of this one. It's my favorite! 

The Oxford Street is my favorite among all the burgers they have. The Grilled patty with chili con carne and their very own home-made sauce perfected the taste! Every bites makes me wonder what's with this burger that it has a taste that you can't really explain. 

They have platter that you can ask for a serving of rice if burgers don't fill you. This is the Led Zeppelin, haha they even offer The Beatles and One Direction. Consists of a very big sausage, Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings, Fries and Buffalo Wings with 3 different dips!!! 

This one is a combination of the Meaty Spaghetti and the London Bridge burger, its two full menu in one!!! You'll surely need a lot of cardio in here, but the taste is worth all the cals! 

They also serve us the Hyde Park which is a burger with hash-brown. The Tacos with a refreshing taste because of the cucumber and the cabbage. As you can see all the menus were named after the different places and icons in London. They are open every 3pm to 1pm located at Calicanto Batangas City beside Petron gas station. 

Let's check out a seafood restaurant. Hmmm??? The best option is the Bubba Gump restuarant in Greenbelt 3, inspired with the movie Forest Gump you can enjoy fresh seafoods with the different style of cooking, depending on what you crave for. 

Drooling over this Kentucky Bourbon Shrimp Skewers freshly served with mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and corn. The skewers were made of 3 pieces of shrimp each stick, red and green bell peppers, large cut onion, with sausage inside flavoured with the bourbon sauce. Grilled tenderly and flavourful everything was worth all the calories. The shrimp was so tender and chewy adding the creaminess of the mashed potatoes makes me finish it until the last bite. 

Mama's Southern Fried Chicken is not your regular friend chicken. Seasoned just like a mother with loving heart, not that salty but perfectly. The mashed potatoes, the same as skewers, was milky and prepared smoothly that you'll lavishly eat, of course with the corn and veggies as well. They fry the chicken thoroughly and its not too oily to eat. 

We can't let our love for shrimp slide so we added the Shrimper's Net Catch. The seasoning was superb with that spice and and I can taste garlic, even if we chose the Cajun Spice, which I really love. No one can outhit this idea of a bucket of shrimp with the luscious taste. 

It was a night out after all and they offer unlimited to selected drinks. And the first thing that came to my mind is that Sunny burst will be perfect for me. Consist of vodka, mango pure, apple juice and grenadine makes it perfect to be a ladies drink. Really end the night with lots of food, fun and fondness. 

Visit Bubba Gump located at Greenbelt 3, Makati, Philippines

Dreamland Arts and Crafts Cafe-Lipa is a place where you can bond with your friends, family, your special someone without any social media getting on your way. Nowadays, its hard to truly bond because even you, admit it, you always check your social media accounts event on dates. This place have no wifi plus the signal is also weak for mobile data. 

I first visited this place last 2015 with my mom and sis. And then with my friends, different sets of friends, then a bonding with my sister again. My sister even held her 13th birthday here. Even the management have changed, the quality of food is still there or even gets better. 

Plus if you're into boho and gipsy style this place is for you. They even sell items that will suit your taste. Live band was being held also. 

For our first food, the Beef Veggie Nachos. Different from the nachos we've been seeing right? I was a bit shocked at first but then the taste of the dish made me fall in love with it. Actually, I'm craving for it right now. The chips maybe unusual but it matches the beef and the veggies. Cabbage, onions, carrots, bell peppers, cucumber and tomatoes, plus, ketchup and mayo on top! 

We love pasta! But it is my sister who's Chicken Alfredo is the favorite, of all the sauce. But nonetheless, I still have a taste and fill my tummy. It does not turn me down though. I love how milky it taste and how the noodles was cooked. They toast the bread really good. 

Indie Buffalo Wings 

Wings is the chicken part I love the most. Almost every resto that offers wings, I make it to the point its on the list of the food we're going to order. But sadly, I don't like the taste of their buffalo wings cause its a bit toasted and salty for me. But you should try it guys, maybe they'll cook it differently. But a big thumbs up to their detox juices.  

Its the start of the series of food blogs on my site. I have this tag #EnnFoodHunt from my instagram account which from that I made a facebook album regarding all the food featured and tried. I wanted to add some details to share with all of you guys.

It was a night when my taste buds wanted some Japanese cuisine, honestly I wanted to have a buffet dinner at Yakimix but sadly it was an unplanned dinner with no reservations at all, so it was a full packed night at MOA. Good thing many restaurants were still available. Walking around different hospital one restaurant caught our attention. (Gonna post the link on the blog on the bottom of this post). 

Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant is an international restaurant in different countries all over Asia, (eg, Singapore, Hongkong, Malaysia, Cambodia, Korea, China and Taiwan). Just like any other Japanese Restaurant, watami have sushi, tempura, sashimi, meat, ramen, stone hotpot, skewers, beverages and desserts. 

First on the choices made was this Tonkatsu. Well, it differ from other restaurant's tonkatsu through its thickness and crunchiness with a soft tender bite. The sesame sauce added the refreshing taste that perfected the dish. 

Spicy Miso Ramen that have a good combination of spiciness and saltiness in one, others found it too salty but I think its just perfect for my taste. The broth was satisfying for me. Plus it serve way too much for my appetite so I thought it can be good for sharing. 

Last but definitely not the least, the Spicy Salmon Tempura Roll. Cooked sushi roll with that ravishing look and taste! You can taste the salmon as you have that full bite, I mean as you swallow the roll. Adding that spice makes it smooth all the way my taste bud! (I love spicy food btw). 

Hope you can check out there different branches.
