I get so excited every time I get to read a list of new restaurants near
my area. Well, aside from being excited, I get frustrated too as there are
times when I hardly know any from the lists. It means that I don’t get to
explore that much and it makes me wonder what I do on weekends. Anyway, one
list covers the restaurants in Mandaluyong
and I was surprised that out of 20 or so, I was only able to visit 5. FIVE. It
made me a bit disappointed with myself as a foodie. I must bring back the
foodie the explorer in me. And so on my anniversary with work I decided to visit…
Burp!
I’m not exactly sure when this
restaurant opened but it was part of the list I “reviewed” a few months back.
It was pretty small but it could accommodate around 20 diners. Parking though
is very limited.
The menu had a handful of choices
from appetizers which are mostly soup and salad, sandwiches, breakfast
meals, mains such as ribs and pork
chops, pasta and desserts. There are a few shakes and frappes as well.
I decided to go for the Truffle Mac and Cheese (PHP245) and Stuffed Chicken with Garlic Cream Sauce
(PHP245) while R went for the Roast
Beef with Red Wine Sauce (PHP345). For drinks, I opted for the house blend iced tea (PHP55) while R
got the Dulce
de Leche Frappe (PHP125). We also ordered a slice of Blueberry
Cheesecake Frost (PHP125) for dessert.
First served were our drinks.
My iced
tea tasted like tamarind
candy while R’s frappe was quite light (rather than thick) and milky.
The stuffed chicken
was pretty good too. I loved the crunch of the breading
and the creaminess of the cheese.
The garlic
cream sauce also made it addicting. R actually liked my meal more than his.
And speaking of R’s dish,
the roast
beef was pretty okay though it was tougher than expected.
The dessert on the other hand was
decent. Nothing spectacular but pretty okay given its price.
Overall, it was a good and filling
dinner. But I’ll probably have dessert elsewhere next time.
Burp is located at Pioneer Highlands, Madison Street, Mandaluyong City.
