Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Four in Love BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet offers a top-notch bbq and hot put buffet experience.  For the 20% off price, the Abundance Set is definitely worth a try!  Because of the soup and mookata add-on price, its best to bring at least three companions.  Overall, we Tsinoy Foodies enjoyed the grill, hotpot and sauce mixing experience.  We also liked the three price point for the sets so you can choose depending on your appetite and budget.  Perhaps, for simplicity though, the price could be more inclusive for the soup and drinks.  

In the busy and congested city of Makati, there is a one of a kind hangout place called Buendia Food by the Court (BFBTC) that combines an extensive food park with 27 food merchants and a basketball court.


I heard the basket ball court is so popular that even at the rate of 1,100 php per hour, the booking is full 3 months ahead.  The basketball is open everyday from 7 pm until 12 midnight.  While the food merchants operate from 5 pm- 12 mn on Mondays to Sundays.  Some merchants extend their time until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Bakmi Nonya Autthentic Indonesian Cuisine

All the food merchants have different dishes to offer which include international cuisines.  And, the price per meal will cost you not more than 150 php.

Doss Pares

Doss Pares

Grilled Squid

What I love about BFBTC aside from having a roofed and spacious dining area is that the dishes are served hot. 

Sizzling Balut

Doss Pares even serves their dishes on sizzling plates.

Burgers Meet Wings (BMW)

The food merchants are very creative with their menu items.  Some even allows customization.

Because the BFBTC is a refuge from a hard days' work, heavy traffic or even the strong rains, the food served is mostly comfort food that is perfect as a beer pairing.
