Imagine yourselves hungry whilst stuck in the middle of Manila’s worsening “carmageddon”, not a very good picture is it? Fear not, because we got you and your tummies covered this weekend. Escape the busy streets of the greater metro during the much anticipated Papal visit with a quick Southern getaway. The nearby South, whether in Muntinlupa, Paranaque or Las Pinas, is home to a number of hidden dining treasures that will make the trip worthwhile. Here are 5 restaurants that people have repeatedly added to their Booky<\/a> ‘Favorites’ lists this January.<\/p>\n

The Black Pig is a modern restaurant and bar, a place to gather for ‘good food, good wine, and good company’<\/em>. It serves a variety of European<\/strong>-inspired and local dishes, as well as a wide selection of beers, wine and cocktails for pairing. It’s for<\/strong> people who are looking for a place to unwind after work or during weekends. It’s not for<\/strong> children. We recommend<\/strong> the Mushroom Risotto and their Black Pig Lunchboards. Our insider tip<\/strong> is they serve complimentary homemade marshmallows for dessert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After his short stint with Robot Restaurant & Lounge, Chef Bruce Ricketts opened Sensei Sushi Bar, a humble local and seasonal Japanese <\/strong>and Asian-inspired restaurant along the now popular Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes. His 12-course Chef\u2019s Omakase received numerous praises for taste, creativity and affordability. It\u2019s for<\/strong> adventurous foodies. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who don\u2019t eat raw. We recommend <\/strong>the Chef\u2019s Omakase. For a la carte, order their Torched Salmon Belly and Chutoro Sashimi. Our insider tip<\/strong> is there is no corkage fee, you can BYOB (bring your own bottle).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mama Lou\u2019s Italian Kitchen is one of South<\/strong>\u2018s biggest neighborhood secrets, but because good restaurants can\u2019t hide forever, it is now a foodie\u2019s destination for authentic Italian<\/strong> eats. It\u2019s for<\/strong> families and children who enjoy eating in a homely setting. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who don\u2019t like to brave the Southern commute (but good news, they\u2019re opening a branch up North soon). We recommend<\/strong> the Risotto Tartufo Funghi, Spaghetti Seafood Olio and Pizza Tabarnes. Our insider tip<\/strong> is you can request to have 1 pizza halved in 2 flavors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Girl + The Bull is the brainchild of hip and young couple Gab Bustos (the bull) and Thea de Rivera (the girl). Their combined passion for food and art<\/strong> is translated onto every plate they serve. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who love to Instagram their food. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people looking for a formal dining experience. We recommend<\/strong> the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Bibimbap and the wildly raved about Faux Twix bar. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the Buttermilk Chicken is only available on Fridays and Saturdays, and we heard that only about 14 are served in a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ramen Yushoken serves tonkotsu broth<\/b> ramen using a recipe from famous ramen master Yamagishi Kazuo. It\u2019s a casual restaurant with traditional Japanese sensibilities like fast service and not offering any eating utensils other than chopsticks. It\u2019s for<\/b> ramen lovers in the South. It\u2019s not for <\/b>people who are closer to Megamall. We recommend<\/b> the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen or the spicy Tantan-men with Aji-Tamago on the side. Our insider tip<\/b> is ask for what\u2019s NOT on the menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
