Mikee comes from a family of restaurateurs\u2014 the same family that brought in Sbarro and owns Burgoo. He admits Balestier became a passion project<\/strong> for him after a Singaporean franchise he brought in, failed to take off.<\/p>\n

The hip space<\/strong> was designed by the owners themselves. Inspired by their travels around Asia, Mikee and Amanda wanted to emulate the trendy places they had encountered which were minimalistic in design with industrial touches.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fun Fact:<\/strong> They sourced the furniture for the restaurant right here in Marikina!<\/pre>\n
Like the city that influenced it, Balestier’s menu is a vibrant melting pot. <\/strong>It’s fusion at its finest with dishes like Laksa Tsukemen, Bak Kut Teh Risotto, and Salted Egg chicken wings. The flavors are familiar but served with a twist:<\/p>\n
