Vue Restaurant at Stonehill Suites: Our Chill Culinary Escape in Bacolod City
Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines
Aside from being delighted with the aesthetic modern contemporary with Art Deco charm of Stonehill Suites in Bacolod City, we also enjoyed our chill dinners at Vue Restaurant.
Food
Stonehill Suites executes everything, including Vue Restaurant's food presentation, with a flair for perfection.
All dishes are served with premium ingredients and in large portions so it is highly recommended to order for sharing.
Salad
 |
| ♥ Caesar Salad (320 php) |
Ever since I began integrating health consciousness and spirituality into my once mentally and materially driven life, I've adopted the habit of beginning meals with a salad.
I've ordered the Caesar Salad several times during our stay. Served in its classic rendition, it features fresh, crisp lettuce generously sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and topped with crunchy croutons, bacon bits, and runny poached egg.
Soup
 |
| Truffle Mushroom (280 php) |
To provide our bellies a comforting and warming preclude to the bountiful feast ahead, we each ordered our choice of soup. I had the Truffle Mushroom, a rich cream-based soup with bits of earthy fresh mushrooms dappled with the precise amount of aromatic truffle oil. It was initially a bit salty upon first serving so I had to have it adjusted.
Appetizer
 |
| ♥ Gambas Al Ajillo (320 php) |
 |
| ♥ Mozzarella Nuggets (270 php) |
Finding the Mozzarella Nuggets in the menu felt like hitting a golden-breaded treasure box that reveals molten, stretchy mozzarella riches for us cheese lovers. Make sure to pop them in the mouth as soon as they are served to enjoy them to the fullest.
 |
| Crispy Calamari (230 php) |
The Crispy Calamari or deep-fried tender calamari rings that's made even more irresistable when enjoyed with the zesty dip.
Pasta
 |
| ♥ Sardines with Sun-dried Tomatoes (340 php) |
If you are craving for oil-based pasta like we did, the Sardines with Sun-dried Tomatoes with savory sardines bits and zesty slices of sun-dried tomatoes is a great choice!
Pizza
 |
| ♥ Signature Stonehill Pizza (290 php) |
Definitely don’t miss out on ordering their thin-crust pizza — it’s affordable, delicious, and perfect for sharing! Most of the pizza selections are similarly priced so we choice the best-selling Signature Stonehill Pizza with the most toppings.
Chicken
 |
| Southern Fried Chicken (650 php) |
Although the Southern Fried Chicken was served with crispy coating and creamy gravy, it wasn't as satisying as the other dishes. If the chicken parts had bigger portions with more tender meat, the price would have been more jusitifiable.
 |
| Honey Balsamic Roasted Chicken (450 php) |
The better chicken dish to order is the Honey Balsamic Roasted Chicken — roasted chicken marinated in a sweet
and tangy honey balsamic glaze.
Pork
 |
| ♥ Pork Barbecue Ribs (530 php) |
The Pork Barbecue Ribs is their best-selling pork dish. My companions loved the tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs glazed in a lip-smacking
barbecue sauce so much they ordered them in every visit.
Fish
 |
| Grilled Blue Marlin with Tangy Mango Salsa (460 php) |
The Grilled Blue Marlin with Tangy Mango Salsa is a huge portion of grilled blue marlin topped with a refreshing mango salsa. While the mango salsa was delicious, blue marlin was slightly dry for our preference.
 |
| Tanigue Steak in Creamy Beurre Blanc Sauce (320 php) |
The Tanigue Steak in Creamy Beurre Blanc Sauce was a better choice. The velvety beurre blanc sauce complemented the succulent tanique steak.
Beef
 |
| ♥ Beef Salpicao (350 php) |
A must order is the Beef Salpicao. The garlicky soy sauce-marinated beef cubes has the perfect savoriness and tenderness to keep you wanting for more together with an extra service of rice!
Desserts
 |
| ♥ FrÃa Scoops Cookie Monster (200 php) |
Kids at heart like us will definitely have an unforgettable indulgence with FrÃa Scoops Cookie Monster. Not only did we laugh our hearts out seeing each and every one of us with our mouths covered in blue vanilla ice cream, but we also loved the harmonious blend of creamy and crunchy toppings.

Sartin also offers weekly special which you can see on its chalkboard by the entrance.
Dessert
 |
| ♥ Tibok-Tibok (245 php) |
The Tibok-Tibok is a rare find. We all rejoiced upon finding this delectable carabao-milk-based treat. It so velvety-soft as it slowly melts in the mouth.
 |

The Leche Flan is quite unique because it also has carabao milk mixed in. This is one of the best Leche Flan I've ever had.

On a weekday lunch time, the chances of being able to search for an empty seat at the SM Manila's Food Court is like winning the lottery. I attempted to eat there once but since it was futile, I ended up in neighboring restaurant Inasal Chicken Bacolod with lots of empty tables to spare.
This is my first time to try this brand.
Ambiance is downright simplistic.
Inasal Barbeque
The Petso portion is okay. The flavor is too bland for me.
Sizzling Platter
The Pork Sisig serving is not enough for me. =(
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Inasal Chicken Bacolod is budget friendly but food quality and portion will hardly satisfy your tastebuds or your tummy.

Bok Bok's Inasal: Budget-Friendly Authentic Illongo Meal for the Family (Kapitolyo Pasig)
Kapitolyo, Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines
The family loves to try out the different hole-in-the-wall diners in Kapitolyo. It's amazing that this former residential village has turned into a foodie haven. And, our exploration within it is so far from being accomplished as there are really so many more to try! A few weeks ago, we discovered Bok Bok's Inasal. It's the only place in Kapitolyo where you can enjoy a budget-friendly authentic Illongo meal that's great for sharing.
Bok Bok's Inasal is one of the underdogs in famous eat street of Kapitolyo probably because of has a very humble sign which you could barely notice if you're like us who goes to Kapitolyo to find a random diner that we'll find enticing. It's located along Maria Clara Street beside Cross Fit Kapitolyo. It has 3 parking slots which is a plus point for us considering how challenging finding a parking slot in Kapitolyo can be.
Food
I really appreciated that all the dishes were served hot and freshly cooked.
Combo Meals (Served with Rice, Atchara and BOTTOMLESS Iced Tea)
 |
| Pecho Combo (159 php) |
Isn't this just the biggest Pecho inasal served here in the Metro? For it's this combo meal is a steal especially since it comes with BOTTOMLESS Iced Tea! Not only is the chicken meal plump and succulent, it was very fragrant and flavorful too. Among the inasal variations, have I ever shared that I love the Bacolod version the most?
 |
| 1 pc. Atay / 1 pc. Baticolon Combo (141 php) |
I'm actually a big fan of chicken liver and gizzard so I had the 1 pc. Atay / 1 pc. Baticolon Combo. I must say, it has lived up to my expectations.
Chicken Inasal
 |
| Isol (69 php) |
Fish
 |
| Sizzling Bangus (192 php) |
The Sizzling Bangus is strongly marinated so it's best paired with their Garlic Rice.
Pork
 |
| ♥ Liempo Sisig (190 php) |
Soup
 |
| ♥ KBL (Kadios, Baboy, Langka) (184 php) |
