I'm a sucker for burgers. Who's not, anyway? It's a go-to food for my hungry tummy. And speaking of hunger, I always am.

One not so ordinary day when I found myself hungry (again) and saw Burger Avenue, I instantly went inside to try. 

C'mon let's try it!

The walls says it all!

As a first-timer, tried their classic burger, Classic Avenue Burger, regular at Php 85. Their pride is that their burgers are 100% pure-beef (what Jollibee was saying, too), grilled fresh on an oat brioche bun. 

Choose up or...

Or on the wall. Aids in choosing :)

Had to add Php 50 for 16 oz drink and fries which I converted to their thick onion rings.

My palm is bigger

Thick onion rings!

My verdict? Well, the burger bun is relatively small. It's filled with a big slice of lettuce which is a plus for me. The brioche bun is something unique. The taste of the patty itself is okay but nothing spectacular. It's good, don't get me wrong but it's not like between the trusted chains, I'll purposely go here even if not convenient.

It's a nice try, though.

This post serves as a warning. Steak Shack is a relatively new restaurant in One Archer's Place. And because I felt that my money was wasted here, I don't want to waste another effort.

Don't choose. Just go away.

At Php 125, ordered 'Salisbury' Steak. When I saw it, gosh, it looks like a burger steak so small, gone mad. I mean, SERIOUSLY??? It has a soup but the sauce of the 'salisbury' is just like the thicker version of that soup. 

YUCK!!!!

Even the iced tea at Php 25 was bleh! 

If you value money and good food, just go to Jollibee or Mcdo: way cheaper and way better. 

Just run away!!!

Due to some memories we had of Noriter, we chose a ‘no-return’ policy. Although, a year after we found ourselves in the playground again.

Coffee & Dream

Unique decors

It’s not the food nor the drinks that lured us in Noriter. If only for their food, I personally would call it quits. But there’s a magic in its walls full of vandals. We wanted to leave a mark again.

So before anything else, hellosheena was here:

It's eatsdelicious.blogspot.com now

The food, just like before, took ages to arrive. It didn’t much matter.  We had entertainment.

Cups of dreams

where we sat

I do

When it did, I was surprised. I never remembered it this artsy. So we pushed it further.

Carbonara at Php 160. Serving size was just a fistful. It’s not the best carbonara around. It’s meaty and saucy, though.

Creamy carbonara

Strawberry Shake at Php 135 (small). It wasn’t a shock that it was bland. Same as my drinks a few years back. It’s good to know, though, that it has real strawberries.

Now in mason jars

Food was so-so. Nevertheless, just like before, I enjoyed the ambiance. Perfect for great talks.
