It has been quite some time since I shared about Old Swiss Inn in Paco where I used to frequent when I didn't work so far from home.
Little did I know that it also has a branch in Makati. I noticed they have new dishes being offered.
Food
 |
| Complimentary Bread |
Soup
 |
| ♥ Goulash (330 php) |
The Goulash is my favorite soup in Old Swiss Inn. I order this before every meal.
Signature Dishes
 |
| ♥ Gnagi (860 php) |
When with company, the Gnagi is an excellent choice for a centrepiece. Based on all my dining experience, they consistently cook this perfectly each time. It delivers a delicious crackle in every bite. The savory, tender and juicy meat is another sensation that you can't miss. Appreciating their tangy saurkreut is not a guarantee though. It depends on one's preference.
 |
| ♥ Fresh Corned Beef (690 php) |
Every companion I dine with at Old Swiss Inn has approved of its Fresh Corned Beef. They have a secret way to bring out the best from each slab of beef.
Sausage
 |
| ♥ Sausage Platter (1,550 php) |
For group meetings, the Sausage Platter is a must order. I assure you, it is fun to eat and share slice by slice as you shift from one variant to another.
Raclette Grill
 |
| La Parisienne (1,190 php) |
There are two food items you can order in a Swiss restaurant to make your dining experience wholesome: (1) Raclette Grill (2) Fondue.
 |
| La Parisienne (1,190 php) |
In the past, I've enjoyed the Fondue Bourguignonne because I love the fun of dipping in sauce variants. But, recently I've had a change of heart or tongue. I now enjoy the Raclette Grill more because I grew quite fond of raclette cheese.

| ♥ Wagyu Skewers (1,490 php) |

Fondue

| ♥ Classic Toblerone Chocolate Fondue (650 php) |
I wonder why I never had the Classic Toblerone Chocolate Fondue before.

| ♥ Classic Toblerone Chocolate Fondue (650 php) |
My foodie friends and I enjoyed it very much! I especially liked their home made marshmallows.
Drinks
It has a cafe in this branch. I especially loved their ♥ Matcha Latte.
 |
| Fresh Mango Juice (150 php) |
It's great that Old Swiss Inn Makati is open 24 hours to make quality Swiss dishes available. If we need to vouch for this time-tested establishment to convince you to dine here to enjoy the fun in eating Swiss then you have our vote.

Lately, I've been experimenting with my time schedule. So after work, I tried squeezing in attending a yoga class. One day I was feeling extra energetic so I did two classes back to back: Vinayasa 1 and Rocket Yoga. And... then I ended up in the mood to try H.I.D Burgers.
If you frequently gas up at the Caltex Station along Buendia, then you've probably noticed H.I.D Burger's Makati branch. But, I don't so I recently just discovered this place.
To my surprise, H.I.D Burgers Makati branch is packed during meal hours.
The crowd is a mix bunch from couples to group of friends.
I was hungry so as soon I was able to raid a seat, I began lining up to order.
They had a tempting challenge but someone tipped me about their sort of secret menu. You can choose any burger and upgrade it to "Go Raclette" for an addition of 40 php.
And, you could also add on some Twister Fries which is also not on the menu for an addition of 45 php.
Food
Burgers
If you want the attention of the crowd, order any burger just like my H.I.D BLT Combo (155 php) and then "Go Raclette" (add 40 php). Of course, everyone was looking at it while the server poured the hot raclette on top of my burger.
For the price I didn't think that my burger would be this big and this cheesy!!!
Had I known, I would have brought some company to share with. I look around and although in groups, everyone had their own burger. I guess it's because H.I.D's burgers is very reasonable so even if you don't finish it, it's still wise to just take home the rest.
You can use their plastic gloves or like me just use knife and fork. Because just look at the size of their beef patty plus sausage plus bacon. And, they only have 1 size! This is the standard size.
And, their bacon is not the fatty small cut. It is a big, long and lean strip. There are several pieces of it too.
Hot Wings
This is first time I've encountered honey and srircha wings. Although I prefer an intense spiciness, sometimes mild to appreciate the flavor is good too. The honey was evident but I didn't feel any spiciness at all from the sriracha. It also didn't feel like chili but more of pepper. It was surprisingly good. The size was the biggest I've encountered. And, the outer coating is perfectly crunchy while the meat was juicy! I think I enjoyed this more than the burger.
Another must try is the Cheesy Bacon Wedge Fries. How can we resist a cheese and bacon combination right? Order this for sharing because again they offer generous serving!
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
While I'm not sure if H.I.D Burgers really stands for its transliteration of "Healthy"... but it is "Irresistibly Delicious" for a shockingly affordable price. If you want a really heavy meal without breaking the bank, you can go here. And, be sure to bring some company too because the serving size is generous!
