After 8 months, it was nice finally #meating 8 Cuts Burger Blends! 

In SM MOA

Aside from 8 being a lucky number, the name was such because they boast of 8 cuts of the beef: chuck, rib-eye, short-rib, sirloin, brisket, hanger, flank, oxtail and blended into the ff:

So here's the visualization :)

• House Blend
• Beef Bomb
• Ox Blend
• Big Game
• Steak Cut

And the blends

As for their interior, eights simple. Just an industrial vibe with pops of blue and red. I must say, I can relate to their concept. Plus, I also love their menu-- informative without being too wordy. 

Made on the spot

Tribute Menu

The first-timer in me tried among their Tribute Burgers. Weighing my options, I ended up with Piggy at Php 255 (at 1/4 lb)- a beef bomb blend patty of chuck and short-rib, yellow cheddar, crisp bacon strips, house-made bacon jam, ioilo rossa greens, garlic aioil ail on a Sesame Seed Bun. 

Piggy at Php 255

Tried eating the patty itself, and just like what they menu flavor profile says, it's is fresh, well-balanced, great all-around. Indeed it was fresh, assembled on site, although a bit lacking in flavor. Gorging it altogether, I daresay the combination of the bacon- or maybe the bacon jam added its enjoyable flavor. 

For my drinks, opted for a BB favorite, Salted Caramel Shake at Php 150 (12 oz). The shake was pleasant. Not too sweet but no hint of salt. 

Overall, it was a fun experience. Should be back for DIY. 

Next time, boss

CaliBurger is located in, not in California but in Century City Mall PH. What I love about it is its beach setting with pops of orange everywhere.

The menu :)

For the first timer, tried first their basic burger A at Php 245. The burger was relatively big. The patty was tasty, too. I love the serving of lettuce and tomato. For the sides, instead of fries, chose onion rings and I enjoyed! It was thin and crisp.

Their selection of drinks, I give a thumbs up, too. They have variety of juices to choose from. And, it's refillable! All for the tag price. Sulit!

KINECT!

Again, love the beach side setting and the kinect set-up!

Maybe when they conceptualized the name 'Zark's', they have in mind 'sharks'. That when they thought of a food to serve, it must be big you break your jaw eating. Maybe I didn't bother to research why, but that one humongous burger made my tummy full, I can't bring myself to even care.

I didn't. Because just hearing that the famous Zark's is now in BF brought me three-pointer rush and tagged along my siblings love. Here's what we rawwred: 

And this is my Three-Pointer (Php 125).

Three-Pointer reads: three kinds of cheese served with lettuce, tomato and caramelized onions. I added Php 25 for hand-cut fries and iced tea. For someone who doesn't have a huge appetite, go for this relatively small burger. Though when I ate this, I forgot that it has three kinds of cheese because it didn't register well with me. I'd also bargain some buns for more caramelized onion. :)

My sister had Zark's Ultimate Burger (Php 130). 

This was my first choice but gave way (although I now don't see much the point. We didn't share anyway :P). I wish I didn't because this was much ultimate that my three-pointer. Imagine the cheese sauce in a bed of lettuce and tomatoes topped with sauteed mushrooms and bacon! And wait, it was oozing with caramelized onions!

My brother's Jawbreaker (Php 250) served with iced tea and hand-cut fries.

If you try eating this as a whole, you might as well break your jaw. My brother thought it would be unwise too (to take the 5-min challenge and break his jaw) that's why he ate his BURGER slowly but surely. First, he took off that humongous bun then ate some of its Spam. Then ate some bits of bacon. Then ate like viand the two patties. When he was sure that the size was okay enough not to break his jaw, he ate it like a normal burger. And hoorah, he, we all burped!

I'd give Zark's Burgers's another try, that I just thought their patty was a bit bland. And as mentioned, my Three-Pointer with three cheeses didn't justify. Or was it just me? Its branch in BF Parañaque was not as good as probably in Taft, but that you don't have to wait in long queues and you get to find seat at once. Of  Service meantime, it was average.
