MJ's Cafe Bar Crispy Thin Hand-Rolled Filipino Fused Pizzas and More!

Last night, I was invited to MJ's Cafe Bar for some taste tasting.  During the lively days of Baywalk, MJ's Cafe Bar was one of the place visited by many.  Since September of this year, it re-launched itself as a Filipino fusion restaurant serving unique Grilled Thin Pizza flavors such as Sisig Pizza, Bistek Pizza and Tinapa and Red Egg Pizza.  Aside from that, they also have value meals like the MJ's Tender Pork Barbecue Rice Meal,  MJ's Cafe Bar now delivers with no minimum requirement but with a fixed delivery charge of 40 pesos within the 2-Km radius from their location at Baypark in Malate, Manila.

Hand-Rolled Grilled Thin Pizza


The Classics
veggie splurge pizza
Veggie Splurge (210 php)
The Veggie Splurge is topped with zucchini, eggplants and tomatoes.  Although this is a healthy meal, it is as flavorful as its meaty counterparts.  They couldn't have found a better choice ingredients other than freshly sliced eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini to make this healthy treat.  


Cheesy Garlic (230 php)
What is more classic than Cheesy Garlic right?  I guess this classic is so popular because you can always count on the great blend of mozzarella cheese and garlic to satisfy your taste buds.


hawaiian pizza
Hawaiian Surprise (235 php)
Hmm... What's the surprise in the classic Hawaiian Surprise?  Well, you'd be surprise that MJ's special pizza sauce and the crispiness of their dough enhances the sweet ham and tangy pineapple bits.


neopolitan pizza
Neopolitan (260 php)
The Neopolitan has a generous amount of olives and bacon bits.  This has a hint of spiciness,  flavorful meaty flavor of bacon, salty and sourness of the olives combined.  It actually turned out to be interestingly good!


new york special
New York Special (285 php)
The New York Special is American classic pizza variety  made the MJ way.  One bite of this pizza and you'll be able to appreciate the richness of the flavors.  I also enjoyed the blending of the ingredients in terms of texture.  The pepperoni was meaty, the mushroom was soft and the green peppers were crunchy.


MJ's Signature Flavors  
sisig pizza
Sisig Pizza (335 php)
The sisig (marinated pig face), an all-time Filipino favorite is now in a pizza.  Their Sisig Pizza  was really good.  It is best eaten fresh and hot.  I love the sisig recipe.   Although, I would have preferred the chili pepper (siling labuyo) to be chopped and dispersed more.

tinapa red egg pizza
Tinapa and Red Egg Pizza (260 php)
The combination of the two ingredients, its no surprise that the Tinapa and Red Egg Pizza is the saltiest option.  The tomatoes are there to contrast the saltiness but I still found it to be too salty at some parts.  Perhaps, more tomato sauce?

Thank you Mj's Cafe Bar for the FREE pizza 
It's best to eat their pizza's within two hours at most.  When I was given a FREE pizza from MJ's, I brought it home for the family to eat but we weren't able to eat it all at once so when I ate it around five hours later, it lost its crispiness.

MJ's Pasta Paboritos
carbonara
Carbonara (165 php)
spaghetti filipino
Spaghetti Filipino (145 php)
The Spaghetti Filipino is spaghetti slightly sweetened with bits of hotdog topped with parmesan cheese.  Upon tasting this, I had the impression that it tasted similar to Jollibee's spaghetti.  The texture of the pasta is a bit chewy which makes it suitable for kids.

MJ's Filipino Flair
crispy pata
Crispy Pata (450 php)
The Crispy Pata was served in generous proportions.  It was crispy on the outside and deliciously tender on the inside too.  This is a must order when you're dinning at MJ's in a group.

Overall, the place is simple and good for casual dining and hang out with friends.  It has a videoke and a viewing deck on the second floor.  The service is good.  The pizza is hand-rolled and freshly made so expect to wait around 25 minutes for dine-in and 45 minutes for delivery.
