I seriously love my area. Crowd favorites
such as Silantro,
Poco
Deli, Rub
Ribs, Calderon
and Mad
Marks can all be found in Kapitolyo. My new
favorites Avi,
Haru,
Open
Kitchen, Gostoso,
and Tomahawk
are all in the area too. And last Friday, I discovered a new favorite, Locavore.
I've heard
of Locavore from my friend F who
randomly messaged me if I have tried eating there. Curious, I made my research
and upon seeing the photo of the Sizzling Sinigang, I was convinced that I have
to dine there soon.
However, I
failed on my first try. Locavore was
packed and waiting time could be half an hour to over an hour. My mom and sister
were already hungry then so we went to Pearl
Drive instead for some chi-mek
(chicken and beer).
I was informed that the best way to secure seats is to make a reservation. It’s not really my habit to do so unless I feel that the place is awesome and always packed. I could still count how frequent I made reservations. I recall I did with Your Local, Haru, Bistecca, House of Wagyu, and Nav.
When we
arrived, the place was still spacious with only a few tables occupied. However,
we did notice that almost all tables were tagged “reserved”.
Since I
already have a copy of the menu, I already “planned” on what to order. I got Sizzling Sinigang (PHP530), Lechon
and Oyster Sisig (PHP400), Crispy Tilapia (PHP280), Mac’s Boneless Fried Chicken (PHP240)
and Calamanjito (PHP280 for two
glasses during Happy Hour).
