Lolay's Bahay Bulalo is the new competitor of Mr. Sizzler's along Estrella St., in San 

Antonio Village. It's a good welcome for the lunch scene here but most importantly, because sometimes Mr. Sizzler's service is just too slow and a new choice is needed.  

I've had many lunches here from their soft opening until now in their normal operations with lots of lunch and dinner patrons. 

Here are some of what I've tried at Lolay's:

• Bangus ala Pobre at Php 99. Not so much a fan of this. I didn't like how the bangus went with the sauce. 

A healthy choice if only sans the sauce

• Salisbury Steak at Php 99. A tad better. Of course, must be the meat. 

Of course, hamburger is a comfort food :0

• T-Bone Steak at Php 159. Value for money lunch! The t-bone is big and not too salty plus the sauce is nice! I bet the sauce here is different from their other choices. Great. 

Affordable steak!

• Pork Liempo at Php 99. I like the combination of the liempo and their mushroom sauce. 

Thumbs up for the serving size

• Crispy Chicken at Php 99. I don't like this one. Just chicken breast strips and at Php 99, that's not that much worth. There are 1.4 chicken (inasal or fried) out there that's better off. 

What makes me come back at Lolay's is their free bulalo soup! I need not order a bowl of it because I get to taste it already. And it's super delicious.

Still in Coron series: 2nd time around food trip edition!

After enjoying my coffee in Coffee Kong, had the chance to go a bit farther because TripAdvisor recommended in its top 10 list, Santino's Grill. We had to take a tricycle and traveled 20-30 minutes away. Trike drivers didn't even know it except when they were informed that it's near where the cheap cashews are bought.

Love the natural feeling

Santino's Grill is an alfresco restaurant complimentary to its Filipino-interior theme. I love it inside although I could've appreciated it more in daylight. :)

When in this restaurant, Baby Back Ribs (half-slab/ full-slab) at Php 300/ 500 is a must. Said yes to mashed potato instead of rice. The mashed potato was good! Baby back ribs was in a generous serving but it's a bit sweet for my liking. But it has to be said that the ribs were cooked well: tender and good.

Hi there, baby!

Also had Bulalo perfect for a nippy night in Coron. Their Bulalo is okay but not as good as that in Tagaytay. It's good to note the generous serving, though.

For the night so cold :D

Ambiance is relaxing. Food was okay but wasn't impressed. Service is slow.

An Ilongo myself, but only recently did I heard about Kansi. First time I've tried it was in Sarsa Kitchen + Bar but unfortunately, I was taken aback by the sourness. 

So even if I'm hearing alot about Pat Pat's Kansi, an eatery type dining in San Antonio, Makati, this previous experience always pull us back. Until one night, with the coming rain and lack of good choice around, we ended up here.

Best Bulalo conferred:)

Initial target was only Sizzling Sisig. Without any soup choice, also had Kansi. 

Their Sizzling Sisig at Php 165 (add Php 10 for egg) was good enough. Craving satisfied, in fact.

As for the Kansi/ Laman at Php 135, it was shockingly good. Not so sour. And the beef was so tender. At Php 135, got to share it with two more.

Kudos to this small and unassuming yet good kiosk.

When you’re hungry and all you want to do is devour at once, looking elsewhere is out of the question. That’s where the good ol’ trusted comes in. And in the small Robinson’s Place, Gerry’s Grill is one of those.

Hungry, right? So here's the review:

1. Garlic Adobo Shreds at Php 225

Looks nice but it’s weird. It’s like eating charred meat. Even when dipped with its sauce it didn’t get any better.  

2. Sizzling Sisig at Php 198

Who can get wrong with sisig? Though theirs is not something I’d die for, it was good enough.

3. Beef Kare-Kare at Php 335

At this point, my heart is still all out for Little Quiapo’s  kare-kare that I notched down a bit my standard. Happily, Gerry’s passed it. Just not so many beef and tripe, though.

4. Nilagang Bulalo at Php 315

Cheap compared to those in Tagaytay but with a reason. Too little serving and it was served ‘lukewarm’. But it’s not bad either.

It’s just like eating at the comforts of home.

When I posted my review on Balay Indang, I hinted that Tagaytay is just 10-15 min away. What better way to go home, than to go far and conquer the January cool breeze of Tagaytay?

So even if we're still full from the goodness of Balay Indang, we can't help but give in to the lure of hot chocolate and Bulalooooo!

Guess the name's too giveaway: green view while savoring Tagaytay's best: Verdi-view.

Good view combined with good foooooood!

My take on their Nilagang Bulalo at Php 450: it's good! Not 'sooooo spectacular I'm gonna die' way but yes, it's good. Tried kinda high-end version of Josephine's but theirs is much better. Served with a big and deep bowl, it has considerable amount of beef, with utaaaaak and vegetables. Perfect for the cold weather! Bet it can feed a group of four.

The veggies are many underneath!

To complement the coldness of the air, chocolate drink made of tablea at Php 45 is just oh-some! Others on their menu are affordable (except the famous bulalo, of course) too, though I haven't tried. See this:

When a survey is asked, "Where best to eat in Tagaytay?", among the many names I can bet that Josephine Restuarant will come up in the list. It's been loved for almost 40 years. And it's been comforting weekend warriors delicious treats in the cold weather.

Christmas at Josephine

So as not to make the food cold, let the feast begin!

For appetizers, Crispy Kangkong (Php 220) will never fail. Served crisp, of course, with special mayo. The dip was good!

Perfect combo

Then comes Seafood Paella (Php 520) of which I was excited about primarily because I love Valenciana (they don't have this on the menu) and I always eat that than Paella. After devouring though, I still love our homemade Valenciana. To start off, our malagkit is sticky awesome. And the flavor of meat, chorizo, prunes all complement perfectly together. Not what I tasted with this Paella. Although in terms of seafood variety, there's a lot from shrimp, squid to crabs. And it can feed many, too.

This Paella can feed many!

Tagaytay is famous for this.  Josephine's Bulalo (Php 540) is surely a nice kick fit for the weather. It's flavorful and comforting. But not necessarily the best in town, though.

Are those 'utak' that I see? :)

Now then, Baked Talaba (Php 260)! Not a fan of this slimy treat but then in an instant, it's gone! It's talaba without so much fuss in seasonings. Just an exhibit of its delicate freshness.

Sorry for the not so nice photos but here are: Baked Talaba (lower portion) and Kare-Kare on the upper.

Kare-Kare (Php 395) is one of my favorites. But nothing beats Little Quiapo's. It's nice to note though that it's served heftily and the meat's tender!

Bangus to love!

I also enjoyed their Boneless Bangus (Php 340). It's crispy and tasty. Good even without soy sauce or dips!

Now this is fun, their Fresh Fruit Salad (Php 90)! With mangoes, melon, watermelon in a coconut husk plus whip! Too cute to eat.

Fruits in a fruit

They also have a very yummy Blueberry Cheesecake (Php 95). The cheesecake's so pure added with just the right amount of blueberry. It must have been baked fresh everyday!

Blueberry yum!

Also tried their Kahlua Sans Rival (Php 95) (not in the photo). Layer after layer of Sans rival goodness made special with Kahlua wine. I love their desserts!

The food is okay but love their ambiance more and attentive servers. And did I just forget that the cold weather was the icing on the cake?
