Price₱1,599.00

If you’re in the mood for seafood, come to Slow Burn and try their Surf & Surf. You’ll love it! We’ve got a rich seared salmon fillet, garlicky shrimp, crisp-tender French beans and juicy cherry tomatoes. The rice part of the equation offers a choice between squid-ink and truffle-umami flavors; we recommend the former not just for its umami profile that seafood suits well, but also because its glossy black appearance lets the colorful toppings stand out more.

Key Differentiators:

  • Flavorful seafood
  • Fresh salmon fillet
  • Squid-ink and truffle-umami flavors

Price₱9,450.00

For some more particular families, they might want a delicious and crispy “crispchon”, served with popular side dishes like crunchy sisig, pancit canton, and salmon sinigang. All of this can be taken care of by Mesa – a restaurant full of Filipino favourites that we love to share with others! No matter what you’re in the mood for tonight, Mesa has got you covered.

Key Differentiators:

Customer’s Review:

The food is good and affordable considering the serving size. I ordered the set, which is good for 4-5 people, and it was satisfying for our group of 6 people. Love their sisig! It was more on the crunchy side. However, some of the grilled items were a bit more more charred than necessary like the shrimps.

In addition to their famous gyudon trays, Kodawari’s Shroomdon is definitely worth a try. This dish is similarly a mushroom version of the Japanese beef bowl but made with enoki, shimeji , shiitake, and king oyster mushrooms—plus eggs cooked sous-vide(with runny yolks!) and fried talbos ng kamote on Japanese rice that amazingly absorbs all the delicious flavors of the mushrooms.

Key Differentiators:

  • Eggs cooked sous-vide with runny yolks

The food is surprisingly good! No wonder they’re always packed. Service is quick, the menu isn’t overwhelming like most Chinese tea-houses. Portions are manageable but some dishes could do with bigger servings. Worth a try and a return visit if you’ve been already.
