Steaks can be an expensive, serious thing. Not in Rap Steaks and Cakes where these cravings are sold at an affordable price. Half-student, half- employee, treats such as these are very much welcome.

The restaurant was very simple inside. Same thing with their menu, no frills. Just steaks and cakes. 

From among, chose T-Bone (regular) at Php 199. It looks like a decent meal but it lacked presentation. It could have been better with a few carrots and peas beside. The taste was good for its price. It was tender and juicy. 

Hi T-Bone!

Ordered additional mashed potato and was happy that their gravy came generous in a pitcher! Their mashed-po tho is too buttery. 

Carb-loading

fThey have cakes and tried Blueberry Cheesecake at Php 77 but not their forte. It was dry.  

WHY are you dry?

It was a nice dine but their food choices were limited.

Name the top 10 restaurants to visit in Binondo and one name that would pop up is Wai Ying. Not only that! In search for the mouthwatering hakaw, it also ranks high.

Binondo though is crowded. For a quick dim sum treat, Wai Ying Taft is on the rescue!

The location of Wai Ying is noticeable and it has a relatively big area. However, it's untidy. Consistent probably with Binondo? 

Despite that impression, went on to order Hakaw at Php 80. As always, it comes in four (4) pcs. The taste is okay though the texture of its skin is slightly grainy. I imagine it to be soft and succulent but not.

Shrimp be with you!

The main thing is Beef Noodles at Php 120. Serving is generous. Beef and vegetables come in heaps. To top it off, it tastes good (and hot for the tummy!).

One hot noodles

In trying restaurants along Taft, there will be a fair share of disappointments. Don't fret, this isn't one of them. I can pay a visit just when I need a trusted bowl of soup.

I dunno but when I was in school I remember my classmates hating projects. It's time-consuming and costly. More so that I dunno why after all these years, everyone's craving to make their own project. 

Good thing I'm quite a geek that I had enjoyed it back then that tasking myself to create my own burger at my expense was thrilling! And so thanks to this new concept, I just went to The Burger Project and made my own damn burger. Yahoooooo!

Inside Taft branch, it felt like a classroom. On the second floor, walls were free to vandalize on. I'm no sure though if that's legal nowadays. In the counter, crayon and a board with a paper was given  to tick the checklist of what to DIY burger. There's a cool guide that will make the assignment easy:

Step 1: Choose a BRGR - grew up loving burgers with 100% beef (Php 105 each)

Step 2: Choose a bun- Poppy seed bun comes free with BRGR so tick it!

Step 3: Choose a cheese- never get wrong with Mozarella (Php 35)

Step 4: Choose premium topping- Onion rings (Php 25); value meal it was!

Step 5: Choose basic toppings- at Php 20 each but skipped it, instead I went for lettuce, tomatoes and pickles free with the BRGR!

Step 6: Choose a sauce- went safe with Special BRGR sauce (Php 20)

 

And viola! My my Php 185 worth BRGR I forgot to name :)

Admittedly, mine was good! I enjoyed my premium topping of onion rings. The beef patty was humongous and yummy too, way better than Zark's. The bun was just of the right size. I found Zark's bun too big it affects its overall tastiness. It was FULL-filling! Two-thumbs up!
