Tikim6: Burgers at Murray's and D'Vine

I never noticed this restaurant for the times I went to Fort Bonifacio High street and Serendra.

Evan and I came to know about Murray and D’Vine last weekend, when a surprise birthday dinner was planned for a close friend  ^.^

 Burgers, sliders, and Wine

 At the 2nd floor with great company

The restaurant has a small space both inside and alfresco dining. They actually have a second floor which is a good place for dates and mini get togethers. From the moment you see saw their sign, you will not think about burgers. The only sign that it’s a burger place is  its banner that says “We have the best burger..Yabang noh”

Upon checking out their menu, you will get a feel that the restaurant is actually American cuisine, with salads, ribs, potato wedges, and burgers. Me and Evan just ordered a trio of mini burgers, one beef burger, one chicken burger, and one shrimp burger. The mini trio’s include a bit of veggies, a cone of french fries, and small bottles of cute Heinz ketchup and mustard. The burgers that they offer are just the patty and meat, no cheese, no veggies, no anything. The server will ask if you just want to add cheese on your burger, which of course costs a bit more.

The taste of the burgers are a bit bland, I guess my buds were looking for something juicy and something

special. For the price the mini burgers (about P100+ each) with no garnishes, it’s a bit expensive. L The only complement that I can give them is their good service.

Verdict: 2/5

Tikim2: Bistro Filipino by Chef Laudico, Fort, Taguig

If you want to taste Filipino cuisine that you can bring or showcase your foreign visitors, Bistro Filipino should definitely be on your list. I am not really a Filipino cuisine lover but this restaurant changed my conception including my boyfriend's view on Filipino food!

Inside the restaurant

A treat for its customers is their buffet worth P788.00 [excluding Chilean Sea Bass, Angus Rib Eye Bistek Style, and Adobo Overload] only available during Friday and Saturday dinner. The buffet is worth a try because you can try out most of their offering in half servings. If what you ordered is not enough you can always order more since it's a buffet. Just remember to leave some room for dessert.

Mouth Watering Buffet Menu

Here are some of my favorite dishes:

Ubod Spring Roll: Fried Ubod with a spicy salsa-ish sauce

Spicy Tuna  Kilawin

Pork Sisig Shooters: Eat em with the quail egg!

Mongo Shrimp Bisque

Grilled Salmon with Taumarine Rice and Binagoonan Sauce:

Molten Chocolate Cake

Maja Blanca Cheesecake: A cheesecake with coconut

 Pandesal Pudding: A balanced sweet taste to end the dinner
