\nReturning Entry<\/p>\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nHoly Smokes BBQ serves authentic Texas-style barbecue<\/strong> such as smoked brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, chicken, sausage, bacon, and pulled pork – all smoked using local fruit wood. They are known for their brisket which is USDA certified Angus beef<\/strong> that is smoked between 12-16 hours. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who loves barbecue. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> you herbivores looking for some greens. We recommend<\/strong> the Beed Brisket (USDA), Homemade Bacon, Beef Belly Pastrami, Sweet Potato Tots and Beef Ribs. Our insider tip<\/strong>: you’ll get a free dessert once you’ve answered a feedback form from Booky! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nLast month’s #9<\/p>\nPhoto from @thetravellingtongue<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nListed as one of the world’s best restaurants<\/a>, Your Local is a neighbourhood bistro serving modern Southeast Asian<\/strong> dishes. Opened by Chef Denny Antonino and Nicco Santos, the restaurant has a hipster meets industrial vibe and serves all day brunch together with their standard menu. It\u2019s for<\/b> yuppies in the area or intimate but casual date nights. It\u2019s not for <\/b>people looking for quick Asian takeouts. We recommend<\/b> the Steak Rice, Lamb Rendang, Chorizo Sandwich and Torched Salmon Donburi . Our insider tip: <\/b>Chef Nicco just opened a new concept restaurant that offers nasi lemak, roti prata, and more called AnyAny<\/a>, Hole in the Wall, Century City Mall.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nNew entry<\/p>\nPhoto from @discovermnl<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The newest homegrown concept by The Moment Group, Shawa Wama is a grab-and-go stall that offers affordable eastern Mediterranean street food <\/strong>like stuffed pita pockets and hummus. It’s for<\/strong> people who want delicious, filling, meals on the go. It’s not<\/strong> for people who are willing to pay more than 200 for a stuffed pita, although we think – for the quality – it’s worth it! We recommend<\/strong> trying the <\/em>Wama Meat Special<\/strong> (comes with <\/em>Pita Bread + Hummus + Rice) and their Sweet Potato Fries!<\/em><\/p>\n

\nLast month’s #4<\/p>\nPhoto from @nikkeiph<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nNikkei is the first Peruvian-Japanese<\/strong> sushi bar in Manila headed by Argentinian Chef Christian Cejas. \u201cNikkei\u201d is a term that describes Peruvian cuisine culturally inspired by the Japanese; it is the latest food trend in Europe. It\u2019s for<\/strong> adventurous eaters who love to try new cuisines. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for party-sized servings. We recommend<\/strong> the Salmon Belly Nigiri, Miso Kurobuta, Seared Tuna, Kobi Nigiri Sushi and Parmesan Scallops.

\nNew entry <\/em><\/p>\nPhoto from @osakatsu<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Osakatsu is the first Japanese Kushikatsu buffet<\/strong> restaurant in Manila. They also serve sushi rolls, tendon, chahan, and cocktails. It’s for<\/strong> people who want to visit Osaka for the food, but don’t have the budget yet! Osakatsu offers the best of Japan’s food capital. It’s not for<\/strong> people who dislike fried food – kushikatsu is literally deep
-fried skewered meat and vegetables! They have about 20 kushiage stick options but we recommend the famous Cheese Ball, Sea Urchin Ball, Shiitake Mushroom and Quail Egg. <\/strong><\/wbr><\/em><\/p>\n No reservations accepted

\nNew entry<\/p>\nPhoto from @mtamina_<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Originally from Siargao<\/strong>, Kermit specializes in fresh pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes. This is their first branch in the Metro. It’s for<\/strong> people who enjoy build-your-own pizzas which guarantees freshness every time. It’s not<\/strong> for people who prefer toppings like buffalo chicken or bacon, here everything is simplified and the pizzas are better for it. We recommend<\/strong> the Tagliatelle alla Tartufata and the Pappardelle all\u2019Antonio. <\/em><\/p>\n

\nLast month’s #3<\/p>\nPhoto from @gansoshabuway<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nGanso-Shabuway is an international franchise from California that offers Japanese style hot pot<\/strong>. They serve all-natural grass fed beef, fresh produce and other hot pot toppings. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who are looking for a healthier dining option. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> sushi lovers. We recommend<\/strong> the Set B (for 2) with Spicy Miso broth, Wagyu beef set, and their Seafood Deluxe Set. We\u2019ve been reading great reviews about their dipping sauces, so make sure to try those as well. Our insider tip<\/strong> is every order of single or sharing shabu-shabu set comes with unlimited rice, soup refills and dipping sauces.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nLast month’s #2<\/p>\nPhoto from @allisonmmatocinos<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nKko Kko is a modern Korean chicken house<\/strong> that uses traditional and contemporary recipes that came from Grace Lee and her mom. Their menu is divided into three main categories \u2013 Korean Fried Chicken, Korean Street Food, and Dosirak (Korean lunch box) \u2013 each narrating a story about the dining setting and customs of Korea. It’s for<\/strong> foodies looking for new and unique Korean dishes. It’s not<\/strong> for people looking for grilled Korean BBQ. We recommend<\/strong> the Chicken Cheese Fondue, Snow Chicken Cheese, and Galbi Jim Dosirak. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the place is quite small and may get full quickly on peak hours, so make sure to book a table ahead of time. Fun Fact: <\/strong>Kko Kko was named after the sound that a chicken makes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who don\u2019t mind queuing a bit for a spot at the table. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who want rice bowls and other Japanese favorites. We recommend<\/strong> the Tantanmen, Shio Ramen, and Super Chasu Bowl. Our insider tip<\/strong> is if you\u2019re in a big group, be ready to be seated separately if you want to get seats faster.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
