Restaurant Review
As much as I love doing reviews, sometimes I am at lost on how to write a review for certain things. For example, I am not that familiar with writing reviews for restaurant. I do not know if I should include their outdoor furniture if they have one. Of course, when you do a restaurant review, you have to review the ambiance and the furniture, but how about the outside look?
I will be looking for guide on how to review a restaurant and I will publish a post just like my How To Write A Blog Review post.
Pho Hoa Vietnamese Noodle House
It was my first time to eat at Pho Hoa Vietnamese Noodle House. Last Friday we went to Greenhills to shop for Ironman action figure. My second child wants Ironman as his gift for his 5th birthday today.We were supposed to eat at Gloria Maris but decided to treat ourselves with Chili Flakes. No it’s not a resto but a condiment at Sbarro. But we were not satisfied, we saw Pho Hoa and give it a try.
Pho Hoa Vietnamese Noodle House serves Vietnamese food and their specialties are Vietnamese Fish with Yellow Beans, Breaded Tofu with Mushroom and Pepper Sauce, Pho Bo Kho (Beef Stew), Vermicelli Bowl, Pomelo Shrimp Salad, Fried Rice Paper Roll with Pork and Vermicelli, Marinated Prawn with Grilled Pork on Rice and Pho Hoa Rice. We did not try any of their specialties but we did enjoy our food. I will try to make a good review of this restaurant when I find the photos of the food we ordered.
Bugong Roast Chicken
It has been a while since we last tasted Bugong Roast Chicken. It was 9 or 10 years ago I guess. We were still studying in Laguna then. When we have a little extra on our allowance, me and boyfriend (husband now) would indulge on a Bugong Chicken. It was pricey for us then, about a dollar for a quarter chicken. I can’t remember now what made it special then. Is it their sauce? Or the roasted chicken itself? Is it the fact that we never had roasted chicken before? Or is it the simplicity of our taste bud that made this dish super special then. It has been years since hubby learned that Bugong branched out here in Metro Manila. He has been on the look out for its nearest branch. It was only last Sunday that we had a taste.. years after.
Disappointed? Kinda. You know how it feels when you spent your life looking for the end of the rainbow, only to discover that there is no gold there. That is how we felt. It was like we lived in a fantasy that this dish is so great tasting and it was actually not. Expectations aside, the Bugong Roast Chicken is good. The quality of the food compared to its price is OK. It is not pricey, just right and it won’t hurt your pocket a bit. When we dine in their Market! Market! branch, we ordered their group meal, half chicken, 4 rice, drinks and two pieces chicken bbq. I also ordered chicken meat balls in Thai sauce. I don’t like the chicken meat balls in Thai sauce, the chicken balls does not taste good, it tasted like the chicken balls has been sitting there for days. Anyway, the sauce that we used to know back then were only available upon request and you have to pay extra for it. The chicken bbq was OK, no bones. Their rice was a bit hard which it made it impossible for me to enjoy my meal. It was not the way it used to be.. or maybe I am right, the only reason why we liked it so much before was the fact that we never had roasted chicken then and Bugong was our first.
I still recommend it to people, specially if your agenda is just eat and fill your empty stomach, but if you are like us trying it only after ten years, please lower your expectations 
Dad’s Eat All You Can Meryenda
I had the chance to dine in at Dad’s last August through our she bloggers event. She blogger or She Blogs off is an informal event where she bloggers took a day off (blogging) and meet up with other she bloggers. It was a fun activity dutch treat style.
Since most of us will only be available around 3 PM, we decided to have a meryenda meet up (instead of lunch). Dad’s Eat All You Can Meryenda seems to offer the best price (and place) for an all out chikahan with other she bloggers.
The Meryenda is worth 139 PhP or roughly $3 (or less). The meryenda choices ranges from Filipino native snacks to dumplings like siomai and siopao. They also have palabok and carbanora. I like most the carbonara. They also have fresh lumpia and another favorite of mine, palitaw!!
All in all, I really enjoyed their food choices and it was worth the price. The place is also very conducive for meet ups. The staff were very nice to us, giving in to our whims like taking our photos. They were also polite enough not to ask us to leave as it was already time for dinner buffet.
Now with my experience with Dad’s Eat All You Can Meryenda, I am tempted to try their ultimate lunch buffet.. and by the way, their drinks are 50% off during meryenda hours which is 3 PM to 6PM.
Reviewing Reviews By Pehpot
This site is dedicated to reviews, any kind of reviews that I fancy. I will write movie reviews most of the time. I will write gadget reviews (if I have a new one). The site will also feature restaurant reviews. And since the products that we often used are baby products, expect to see more baby product reviews here.
Another great review that you will be reading from here are site or blog reviews. If you are interested on having your site or blog or your product to be featured here, feel free to contact me: peh_cats@yahoo.com and will talk about the price.
