Saltitude Dive & Beach Resort is the freshest Anilao Batangas hangout. While you can wallow the day away in their comfortable huts, there are also many fun activities for the more adventurous soul.
Actually, Saltitude Dive & Beach Resort is the new and revamped Anilao Beach Club. It now has quirky-decorated themes rooms which represent activities you can do by the beach.
Brunchin' at the Beach
Just for the launch, we had an Intercontinental Brunch from American to Italian Cuisines. For the next Saturdays, it will changed to other themes such as Spanish, Asian, Mexican and the like.
Every dish we tried was delicious!
With this kind of execution during the launch, we have no doubt that it will be even better as it continuous.
The Asian selection was quite luxurious with California Maki and
Steamed Fish which is a typical Tsinoys' favorite.
With so many choices, remember to save room for dessert!
So clearly, Saltitude Dive & Beach Resort has it all! Eat. Drink. Dive. Snokle. Windsurf. Do them all at Saltitude Dive & Beach Resort.

Bonifacio Global City is one of the most progressive places in the Metro. Malls continue to be bigger and better. Market! Market! has recently opened its new C5 Wing where Mr. Korea BBQ established its pioneer branch.
Mr. Korea BBQ is a sister company of Jin Joo Korean Grill. While we enjoyed the Chesse Deung Galbi (치즈등갈비) of Jin Joo, we have yet to try the unlimited k-bbq with 10 flavors there. So, imagine how thrilled we were to discover that Mr. Korea BBQ offers 14 flavors!
The interiors of Mr. Korea BBQ is modern, hip, colorful and creative. It has the industrial feel with grilled pipes, steel wallings and neon lights. It gives a comfortable feel that let's you dine as long as you want.
Drinks
Mr. Korea BBQ is the first unlimited korean barbecue concept we have encountered to offer an unlmited self-service juice bar.
Food
Each table is provided a set of side dishes or banchan (반찬), three dipping sauces or ssamjang (쌈장), cheese sauce dip and lettuce wrap or ssam (쌈). Yes, like its sister company Jin Joo, it also has the awesomecheese sauce and its refillable to your heart's content.
Banchan (반찬)
banchan (반찬) |
Since we dined for the first time, we assumed the banchan may vary as it is the usual practice in korean restaurants. Nevertheless, we give a full thumbs up for the banchan we tried (in clockwise order):
- Cabbage Kimchi (양배추 김치)
- Gamjachae Bokkeum (감자채 볶음)
- Yangpa Jangajji (Soy Pickled onions) (양파 장아찌)
- Sigeumchi Namul (Seasoned Spinach) (시금치 나물 반찬)
- Gamja Salad (Mashed Potato Salad): (감자샐러드)
On the grill were additional complimentary dishes: Beef Bulgogi and Tteokbokki (Sticky Rice Cake) (떡볶이). The Beef Bulgogi is exactly the same as one of the flavors so we recommend that you just have this replenished from time to time. Small serving is better. Its best to remove the Tteokbokki from the grill so as not too overcook it.
Three Dipping Sauces or ssamjang (쌈장)
- This is the main sauce for grilled unmarinated meats such as the Samgyupsal (삼겹살구이) and Woogyupsal.
- This sauce goes well with the marinated grilled meats.
- This sauce brings out the flavor of grilled meatseaten on its own (without being wrapped by lettuce)
Under Mr. Korea's Rules, you can only order 2 kinds of meat for 4 full paying adults and 3 kinds of mats for 6-full paying adults at a time. We suggest that you order a variety of comabinations (i.e. rolls, unmarinated and marinated pork and beef).
Pork
♥ Pork Teriyaki Enoki Roll |
Beef
♥ Dry Rub Woosamgyup |
Korean Chili Pepper Woosamgyup |
The Korean Chili Pepper Woosamgyup is suitable for those enjoy powdery and pepperish dishes.
Korean Hotpot Set
Unli Hot Pot Set (Add 50 php) |
We don't recommend the Unli Hot Pot Set since the broth even with all the ingredients lack flavor. If you opt to avail of this option, you can try to add some cheese sauce into it for a more wholesome umami flavor.
Unlimited BBQ plus Unli Hot Pot Set (Add 50 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Mr. Korea BBQ offers an enjoyable unlimited Korean BBQ experience for a reasonable price. With 14 flavors of meat and unlimited cheese dip, we guarantee that you will have a very fulfilling Korean BBQ meal.

I have never been mystified by a food establishment until I encountered BOA Kitchen + Socials. Like an abstract art, there are so many aspects of it that requires to be deciphered.
The name BOA was conceptualized from the boa in the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry called "The Little Prince". Ironically, my mom who is not a book reader at all, loves that book so it was one of first books that I have read.
Although there are many philosophical interpretations to the boa in book "The Little Prince", what BOA Kitchen + Socials wants to depict is written on the wall (in what seems to be reptillean scales) "always change".
Food
For breakfast and lunch, it serves Australian-inlfuenced dishs. Then, at night, it transforms (symbolized by the revealing a hidden wall with an enchanting lady and a boa) into a social place with drinks and Asian-inspired dishes.
Lunch
♥ Tinapa Cream Cheese Toast (175 php) |
Sandwiches & Waffles
Chori Burger (295 php) |
Mains
♥ Steak and Eggs w/ Fries (495 php) |
English Breakfast (325 php) |
Pasta
♥ Alfredo Pesto Pasta (285 php) |
♥ Pasta Vongole (285 php) |
The Pasta Vongole is another well-executed dish. All quality ingredients (al-dente spaghetti, baby clams, garlic and lemon) are balanced in a way they are evident in every mouthful.
Dessert
Banana Pie (175 php) |
This is my first time to encounter a Banana Pie like this one. At first sight, I even mistook the caramelized banana for apple bits. At first bite, I was able to distinguish the wonderful texture the banana bits had to offer. The crumbs and vanilla ice cream tones down the sweetness of the caramel to a soothing level.
Small Plates
Sisig Croquettes (225 php) |
Wonton Nachos (245 php) |
♥ Salmon Tatar (345 php) |
♥ Pulpo (Grilled Octopus) (345 php) |
Hands down my most favorite dish in BOA is the Pulpo. This Spanish tapa dish had a very tender and deliciously smokey octopus. Together with the potato puree, chorizo crumbs, paprika-thyme oil, it was overall a savory and comforting dish.
Noodles
Char Kwaey Teow (365 php) |
Pad Thai Chicken (375 php) |
Mains
♥ Beef Rendang w/ Cococnut Lime Rice (425 php) |
♥ Thai Fried Chicken |
Funny how I have tried several Thai restaurants and yet this is my first time to try a Thai Fried Chicken. Because I enjoy tumeric and curry flavors, I trully enjoyed this together with the sweet chili sauce and curried mashed potato.
♥ Crispy Pork Sambal (445 php) |
I've never appreciated pork sambal until I tried BOA's Crispy Pork Sambal. The pork belly cooked like cripsy lechon kawali is good on its own. It is even better when it comes with the sambal sauce and slaw.
Dessert
Deconstructed Star Anise Cheesecake |
Drinks
Bar + Shots
I'm not much as a drinker as I am a foodie but BOA's drink are as equally interesting.
Aside from the usual blends, there's some color changing element too.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
BOA Kitchen + Socials is a chillout place that will definitely leave you a lasting impression. I really had a great time and would definitely love to come back. I hope Quezon City warmly welcomes concepts like this as it progressively evolves.
