My family has taught me that life is all about giving and sharing.  And, I would attribute my happiness and success because of such lesson.  I'm so glad Stoned Steaks is also established based on that concept.

The owners Dick and Mars Balajadia said that they wanted to make a steak experience that's affordable, fun and good for sharing.

This is just an addition to the spouses' many business ventures such as: Savour Manila Food Park, Diore Salon, Mir Wellness Spa, Mines View Park Hotel, 55 Events Place and The 3rd Fitness Lab. 

Food

♥ Complimentary Bread Basket

You wouldn't mind the wait because they serve a really good Complimentary Bread Basket.

Starters

 Soup of the Day (130 php)

For an affordable, I also recommend having its Soup of the Day for a more wholesome experience.

♥ Oyster Rockefeller (260 php)

You definitely can't miss the Oyster Rockefeller!  I'd even order this twice if our mains didn't come any sooner.

Truffle Parmesan Fries (190 php)

The Truffle Parmesan Fries had lots of parmesan but I could hardly taste the truffle.

Steak Angus

♥ Wagyu Ribeye Grade 4 (2,950 php)

Just look at their Wagyu Ribeye Grade 4!  I'm very satisfied with their quality!  They also have 28 dry aged wagyu steak at grade 6.  I'd try that on an occasion perhaps.

   Sauces

♥ Bleu Cheese, ♥Mustard, Peppercorn, ♥ Mushroom, Red Wine, Chimichurri

You can choose two sauces per steak.   I love the bleu cheese and mushroom the most!
Pasta

Spaghetti Wagyu Meatballs (470 php)

Surf and Turf

♥ Stoners Fresh Catch (1,350 php)

Aside from its steaks, they offer fresh seafood too!

Sides

♥ Steak Fried Rice (130 php)

Cause we Filipinos love rice, you can have some Steak Fried Rice as well.

♥ Kimchi Fried Rice (110 php)

But, for some odd reason, I liked the Kimchi Fried Rice and Wagyu steak combo more.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Stoned Steaks will definitely satisfy your steak craving.  The food quality including preparation is worth every peso.  They also have promos like Steak All You Can and Half Off on Thursdays!

It has been months since I opted to work in Quezon City.  And, I have not adjusted to the long travel.  Some nights, I just feel like I wanted to chill first so I passed by Oh My Chimaek. 

I think one thing that is hindering this place from being popular is the confusing name.  As you can see the signage says, Oh My Bar and Grill.

But once I got up, it says Oh My Chicken and Beer.  But, their social media account says Oh My Chimaek.

 So anyway, it has a very cozy vibe.  

Food

When I chill, I eat so let's get on with the food.

Appetizers

Cheesy Bacon Roll (200 php)

The Cheesy Bacon Roll is an innovative take of bacon omelette with wraps. 

Beef Crunch Wrap (200 php)

I prefer the Beef Crunch Wrap more.

Kimchi Nachos (200 php)

If you want to take your time or have some finger food for sharing, I recommend the Kimchi Nachos.  I'd prefer this with more kimchi though.


Chicken

♥ Gangjang Chicken (320 php)

As their name Oh My Chimaek implies, their specialty is Korean Fried Chicken.  The Gangjang Chicken is addictively good!  They soy sesame blend is right on the Filipino palette.  The skin is crisp to perfection.  And, the chicken meat is moist and succulent too.

♥ Yangyeom Chicken (320 php)

The Yangyeom Chicken with mild spiciness is so good too!

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
You'll definitely say Oh My Chimaek once you try their chicken (best with their flavoured beer!).  A bit pricey but good for sharing!

A home-grown Filipino concept from Baguio City, Don Henrico's Pizza, Pasta and More has been around for more than two decades with various branches within Metro Manila and Baguio City.

To be honest, I can barely recall the last time I dined at Don Henrico's.  I vaguely remember it was a family celebration where we availed of its Eat All You Can Promo.

So it is a good time to revisit and check them out again!

Food

Appetizers

♥ Petite Mozzarella Sticks (220 php)

Starting with the cheesy and gooey Petite Mozzarella Sticks.

♥ Petite Mozzarella Sticks (220 php)

Paired with their Marinara Sauce, the Petite Mozzarella Sticks is perfect!

Salad

♥ Summer Salad (310 php for share)

The Summer Salad is my kind of salad healthy fruits!

♥ Oriental Chicken (260 php for share)

But, that's not to say that the Oriental Chicken appealed to my taste buds less.

Pasta

♥ Chili Garlic Shrimp Pasta in Olive Oil (340 php for share)

The Chili Garlic Shrimp Pasta in Olive Oil is my favorite among their pasta.  The generous toppings plus garlicky oil-bsed sauce is really captivating.

Tutto De Mare Pasta (350 for share)

I'm usually in favor of tomato-based pasta because I like its tanginess.  The Tutto De Mare Pasta's blend is a balance between sweet and tangy.

Crab Fetuccini (340 php)

The Crab Fetuccini is quite interesting.  Filipinos love crab fat!  And, this is one delicious treat for us!


Pizza

Four Cheese Pizza (610 php 14 inch)

The Four Cheese Pizza is the best choice for cheese lovers.  It's very rich in cheese flavor but not too salty because of their delectable bechamel sauce.

Seafood Romano Pizza (610 php 14 inch)

The Seafood Romano Pizza is like the pizza counterpart of the Chili Garlic Shrimp Pasta in Olive Oil.  If I had to pick just one, I'd prefer the latter.

Supreme Pizza (650 php 14 inch)

I don't know why but the Supreme Pizza is my last choice for pizza...

♥ Bacon Cheeseburger

Surprisingly, this healthy looking Bacon Cheeseburger is what wowed me!  Their Filipino-style soft dough bread-like crust goes really well with the bacon, ground beef patty and veggies.

  
Don Henrico's offers sharing portions for an affordable price.  It's definitely a better choice than fast food joints.  Between ala carte and their Eat All You Can Promo, perhaps I'd avail the promo.

As a foodie, I can be quite a cheapskate at times.Aside from following and liking Facebook Fan Pages of establishments and waiting for  their promos, I am also an avid fan of food apps.  My recent favorite is Eatigo which is the leading online reservations platform for restaurants in Asia because it has a lot of cool promos that I really can't resist.

In fact, this April 18, they have a really good promo called "WOW Wednesday" where you can dine out at 50% off.  And, what I like  about this deal is that it is valid for the whole day!  So you can have 50% off from breakfast till post-dinner.

Among the participating establishments are:

• Barcino, the home of authentic Spanish cuisines;
• Dillingers 1903, where steaks and pasta reign supreme; 
• Alta at Ascott BGC, an American and Italian restaurant helmed by world-famous Chef Margarita Fores; 
• Gelatofix, a lifestyle café specializing on a spectrum of dishes that complement their vast gelato flavors; 
• Vengo, where you can find the marriage of a taqueria and coffee shop in one shop

Although the promo is on April 18, you can reserve as early as 12 midnight of April 16!  Better safe than sorry so reserve early!  If you haven't downloaded the app yet, get it here.
Follow Eatigo’s Facebook page and be updated on the next schedules of WOW Wednesday!
