In line with their restaurant concept, they encourage guests to build lego while waiting for orders. It\u2019s for<\/strong> barkada<\/em> nights out or Saturday playdates with the kids. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who are looking for a quiet place to work in. We recommend<\/strong> the Big City with CTY rice or the Twin Tower.

\nLast month’s #1<\/p>\n\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Kko Kko is a modern Korean chicken house<\/strong> that uses traditional and contemporary recipes
\nthat 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nLast month’s #9<\/p>\n\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Grape Escape is a wine lounge and kitchen <\/strong>and is the first of its kind in Maginhawa<\/strong>. They first made its appearance a year ago in the food park, StrEAT: Maginhawa. The owners wanted a more permanent place for people to socialize and enjoy wine<\/strong> so they opened this full-fledged restaurant in March 1. It’s a place for<\/strong> catching up with family and friends since there’s no wifi in the restaurant. It’s not for<\/strong> people who are on a strict diet. We recommend<\/strong> their salpicao, pork chop, polpette and blueberry tiramisu. Our insider tip<\/strong>: The restaurant serves unlimited wine!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
