Aburi is a\u00a0modern Japanese<\/strong> restaurant\u00a0specializing in torched sushi dishes. \u2018Aburi\u2019\u00a0pertains to the preparation of sushi where your usual nigiri is torched to have that distinct grilled flavor, which is also the highlight of their menu. It\u2019s for<\/strong> sushi lovers and yakitori\u00a0fans, especially those with a liking for all things slightly torched. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0authentic ramen hunters. We recommend<\/strong> the Salmon Aburi, Waygu Beef Cubes, and the Lorenzo Maki. Our insider tip<\/strong>: Affordable aburi bento boxes are available\u2013comes with 1 viand of your choice, sushi, veggies, rice and soup.\u00a0Read our full feature here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Farmer’s Orchard is a farm-to-table cafe<\/strong> that\u00a0specializes in drinks and dishes using only the freshest fruits. Aside from desserts and shakes, their menu selection\u00a0includes\u00a0sliders, eggs Benedict, and tuna tartare.\u00a0It’s for<\/strong>\u00a0fruit lovers who appreciate high-quality ingredients and healthy dishes. It’s not for<\/strong> people who want a wide array of mains to choose from. We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>the Tostadas Angelisas, Chicken Avocado Pesto Wrap, Mango Chai Latte. Our insider tip:<\/strong> They also serve fruits by the kilo!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For a la carte, order\u00a0their Torched Salmon Belly and Chutoro Sashimi.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong>\u00a0is that there is no corkage fee, and you could\u00a0BYOB (bring your own bottle).

One of the South’s best kept secrets, Bar Pintxos Y Mas\u00a0is a little neighborhood Spanish<\/strong>\u00a0restobar serving authentic Catalan and\u00a0Basque-inspired tapas, pintxos and more\u00a0<\/b>by\u00a0Miguel Vecin and Tinchu Gonzalez. In case you didn’t know, pintxos are bite-sized pieces of bread with various delectable toppings, usually spiked with a toothpick. It’s a great place\u00a0<\/strong>for catch ups with your squad over good food and wine. It’s not for <\/strong>those unwilling to brave the Southern commute. We recommend the\u00a0<\/strong>Salmon\u00a0Pintxos, Ternera (ribeye) Pintxos and Butifarra (sausage and beans). Ask for the daily specials!\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong>:\u00a0Parking slots may be limited, especially during\u00a0peak hours. See more food photos here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ramen Yushoken serves\u00a0tonkotsu broth<\/strong>\u00a0ramen 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.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0ramen lovers in the South.\u00a0It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who are closer to Megamall.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen or the spicy Tantan-men with Aji-Tamago on the side.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Ask for\u00a0their off-menu items. For foodies in Manila, you could\u00a0also check out Mendokoro Ramenba (aka Yushoken 2.0) in Salcedo Village, Makati.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
