Wingerangs - Death level of spicy-ness


Wingerangs: The Challenge


The He-Man Challenge entails to finish 15pcs of Death level of spicy-
ness-chicken wings. The time to finish all wings must be less than the time it took the top three He-Mans, which was approximately 4 minutes. If you finish to be one of the top three, the 15pcs of wingerangs wouldn't cost you anything.

Mercato Centrale @ the BGC

08 January 2011

It was the first Mercato weekend since the new year's day. For the longest time, I wanted to go to Mercato ever since it started late November of the previous year, but never had the chance due to school. So to start off the year right, Mercato Centrale, he we go.

Mercato Centrale is located inside the Bonifacio Global City Compound where its closest landmark within the vicinity would be The Spa. Actually, you'll never miss the big white tents when you enter the BGC via C5.

Organic Food Products area


Ever since our early Banchetto fridays, we're constantly searching for good burgers, and luckily, there were several good burger stalls in Mercato worth trying.


Grilled Beef Pattie


with Cheese slices on top


Beurre’s Gourmet Burgers Stall


Beurre’s 'The Ultimate' BIG -B Gourmet Burger (P150)


There's this buzz about the Krispy Kreme Burger which really made me curious to see and try.


Offbeat Cafe is the one selling the Krispy Kreme Burger




Krispy Kreme Burger (180Php)


Original Glazed KK donuts, cut in half, with a beef patty, slivers of natural bacon, eggs over easy, and a slice of american cheese. Woah. It was way too much for me. It was sooo good that it's enough for me to have tasted it, but i think i wouldn't have it again. It worth trying, but it's not worth going back for, not that it isn't good, but the thing is, it's 'atherosclerotic', I'm sure :))

Jamfoods Angus Beef Tapa


dubbed as the best tasting and really tender Angus Beef Tapa in Manila


Frozen Angus Beef Tapa for those who want to take it home.


What became the highlight of my Mercato experience was the Fish and Chips of Chuck's Grubberie.

Menu *Update: New Price list (Basic Dory Fish and Chips at 150Php as of 05 Feb 2011)




Chuck's Grubberie Beer-Battered Dory Fish and Chips :)




The chunks of dory were coated in beer-batter, golden fried to perfection, and placed on top of a mound of salted and peppered potato wedges, served in a traditional make-shift paper cone, Manchester style. Each order also comes with your choice of dip: garlic, tartare, and traditional malt vinegar.





The fish was cooked perfectly inside-out, and the beer flavor seeped through the fish chunks beautifully. It was moist and refreshing at the same time. It potato wedges had the right done-ness and were seasoned well. In my opinion, this was the best fish and chips I've tasted, much and way better than Fish and Co.'s version. It was really that good, I must say, being there for three Saturdays just for this. :)

Overall, Mercato Centrale is a weekend market worth going to. Great food, Great ambiance, and reasonable-priced items up for sale.

BRGR: The Burger Project

From the conceptualizer of Pino Restaurant and soon to open on 10 October Pipino (Vegetarian Restaurant), comes this new burger joint along Maginhawa St. in Quezon City. This customize-you-own burger is pattered from the famous The Counter Custom Built Burgers in the US, where an array of choices is presented to you on a paper, in checklist format.


The Counter: Custom Built Burgers Menu/ Checklist (mostly in California). The store in the US where the owner/s patterned his/their concept.




Steps For Maximum Burger Pleasure

In BRGR: The Burger Project, you are presented with the same concept where you get to choose your patty: beef, chicken or tofu (vegetarian); bun: poppyseed, potato bread, or oatmeal; cheese: bleu, mozzarella, gruyere or cheddar; premium toppings: bacon, chili con carne, caramelized onions, canadian bacon, pepperoni, deep fried onion rings (2pcs.), or guacamole; basic toppings: mango salsa, pineapple slices, jalapeno peppers, sundried tomatoes, egg, sliced onions, or sauteed mixed mushrooms; and type of sauce: wasabi mayonnaise, bbq, teriyaki, marinara, pesto, buffalo wing sauce, special BRGR sauce, or garlic sauce. Then, you also get to "name" your own burger.



The "pre-customized" burgers for thpse who lack creativity and passion for burgers, and eating as well.


ze checklist; yes, we both ordered a basket of fries (P60)


the outcome
dubbed as: "The Burger to Mend Your Broken Heart"
1-pc beef patty, poppyseed bun, blue cheese (which I had requested to be placed in the middle of the beef patty, mimicking "juicy lucy" burger), mozzarella, with bacon strips, sauteed mixed mushrooms, and bbq sauce. The damage: P240

1-pc beef patty, poppyseed bun, mozzarella, with bacon strips, caramelized onions, sauteed mixed mushrooms, and the special BRGR sauce. The damage: P230



Service was good, and the burgers arrived on a reasonable amount of time. The wait staff were very accommodating and friendly too. Thumbs up for the new Customize-Your-Own-Burger burger joint in town :)

Ps. Pardon the photos, it was immensely hard to shoo guerrilla style under low light. It was raining too. I know, excuses excuses. haha.
