Burger Bar, Round 2 3/5 (looloo)

 Back!

I learned a lesson the hard way. The name of the place is Burger Bar. Not, Chicken Sandwich Bar.

I ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken 'Wich. The taste was okay, but I would have gotten 2 Zingers for the price of 210 pesos and go out with twice the satisfaction. 3/5

Blanca R got the cheeseburger for 195 and it was glorious! 4/5

Next time, burger na uli ako :)

Your Local 5/5 (looloo)

We're back!!! Blanca R and I went with Kirby G and our friends from our former office. 

We ordered:

Torched Salmon - this dish jumped straight to the top of best salmon dishes I've ever had. This will probably share the spot with the finest sashimi i can ever find. Seriously, this thing melted in my mouth! You don't even need to have a set of teeth to enjoy this, imagine that! Definitely, 5/5

Beef Rendang - they ran out of Lamb so we had beef instead. The rice and the beef rendang were already good. The sous vide egg raised it to another level of awesomeness! It is really hard to choose between the salmon and this dish! 5/5 

*check out the NSFW #foodPorn pic

I recommend that you eat with someone when dining here so that you can order these 2 dishes and share with each other.

Of course, we ordered the Dark Chocolate Earl Grey Cheesecake Ice Cream with Milk Crumbs *whew* to end our meal. 5/5 as always :)

My friends have been raving about this place for quite some time and their ig and fb posts, including their looloo reviews, finally convinced me to give this burger joint a try.

Let's be clear. I love my burgers. I am not a fan of patties with too much spices or extenders in them - it gets in the way of pure beefgasm.

Before Burger Bar, Cable Car's burgers are tops in my book. After trying the Hangover burger with 1/3lb patty, Burger Bar shares the #1 spot on my list :)

Perfect medium-cooked patty, runny egg yolk, delicious crispy prosciutto bits, with the right amount of sauce (not overpowering) = Game over!

The burger also goes perfectly with the truffle fries and lemonade!

I've seen some bad reviews because of the price. You see, burgers like these are the ones that you eat when you're celebrating, feeling lonely, trying to get over an ex, stressed, or even contemplating suicide. Worth every peso in every bite!

Kung normal na gutom lang at burger ang hanap mo, go to a fast food instead :) (Jollibee Champ, sulit!)

I went here with my future in-laws and the whole fam for Blanca R and I's non-traditional pamamanhikan-tinghun hybrid, haha!

Here's what we ordered:

Tofu Tinapa Rolls - this was a hit! Perfect balance between the two main flavors! 4.5/5

Healdsburg's (Harvest?) - we loved the dressing and the generous amount of greens and nuts! 4.5/5

Beer battered Fish and Chips - it was just okay. 3/5

Roast Pork and Chicken - meat was tender but the flavors of the other elements in the plate were kinda confusing. 3/5

For the highlight...

Lorenzo Truffle Cream Pasta and Steak... (photo above)

I know, I know. This pairing has always been the recommendation of many reviewers and it is for a reason! We've been going to Mamou for this culinary royal couple for years now. 5/5

If you haven't tried these two, wth are you waiting for?! Also, have the steak medium rare. Worth every peso!
