Bonding over Wings at Wingman, Newport Mall, Pasay Philippines

Wingman's wings was our current favorite. This time around, I invited my mom to come with us to taste the yummy wings at their Newport branch.

Iron Skillet Queso (Php 268.80)

The nacho chips here were crunchier & tastier. Also, the cheese tasted better.

 For tonight, we wanted to let Mom try as many flavors as possible. We got 2 dozen in 4 flavors.

Hubby's favorite (Buffalo Classic Medium) once again makes its appearance. Tangy orange goodness in every bite. The one the right is Prairie Fire, a combination of Buffalo & the Ranch dressing.

Another flavor that's sure to always be present in any of our Wingman eat out is their Garlic Parmesan. But mom's favorite of the night was the Hickory Barbecue (left). Smoky & well-coated, I found myself nodding in approval.

Wingman's Cheesesteak (Php 270 )

Served on a wooden chopping board with a side of onion rings. By the looks alone, this was a HUGE serving of cheesesteak; the bread bun couldn't hold all of it up. We couldn't wait to take the first bite.... and felt like the taste greatly resembled something. Funnily, this tasted exactly like the Skillet Quezo, just in sandwich form. Food-Stars Verdict? Liked the Skillet Quezo version better.

Homerun Sliders (Php 260 )

Aptly named, these mini burgers were to-die-for.

 

The Cowboy Burger

Juicy ground beef with smoky bacon is always a good combination. Add the caramelized onion & their homemade hickory barbecue sauce; you're in for a real treat. The homemade fries on the side practically flew off the table, everyone couldn't get enough of it. Suffice to say, Wingman has a winner here. ;9

Take a bow Wingman, you're now our favorite wings place! ;9

Revisited Review: Todd English Food Hall, SM Aura Taguig, Philippines

For Hubby's birthday, we decided to treat his family to Todd English Food Hall. We enjoyed our first visit so we knew that they'll love it here too.

For tonight, we went with completely new dishes.

Todd English Two-Way Duck (Php 650)

We ordered this for mom-in-law & father-in-law. Seeing that they serve this quite a different way than they're used to in Chinese restaurants (Peking duck), I knew this was going to get interesting. Todd English's Duck dish was really good; serving it 2-way was a nice touch. The Duck Leg Confit was really tender & tasty while the Duck Breast was somewhat firm yet moist. Overall, this was a great dish.

Duck Fried Rice (Php 380)

To complete our duck meal experience, we also got the rice. This was actually good but I wasn't able to taste the duck; which was kinda disappointing. Honestly, it tasted just like ordinary fried rice. So with that in mind, the P380 price tag is a bit steep.

Rissoto Paella (Php 480)

Since we knew that the father-in-law loves paella, we got him this one. This is fresh seafood mix of clams & calamari with saffron risotto rice. This had a bit of an earthy taste to it that lingers on the tongue. Don't forget to ask for lemon wedges, it helps bring out the flavor of the paella. 

U.S. Hanger Steak with Bone Marrow (Php 590)

Seeing this on the menu, we were excited to try this out. Unfortunately, their Bone Marrow was out of stock which was a HUGE bummer. They replaced it with a serving of Truffle Fries on the side. Hmm... Fries for Bone Marrow? It's kinda an unfair trade if you ask me. It's a good thing that their Hanger Steak was damn good; it made me forget about the Bone Marrow fiasco for a bit.

Todd English Pork Chop (Php 430)

Menu reads 2-day brined double boned frenched Chops served with wilted greens & potato gratin with demi-glace sauce. All I can say is this is one 500g slab-tastic Pork Chop! Just get your knife skills ready; the birthday boy became the designated carver for the night. ;)

Linguini & Clams (Php 250)

From their Pasta Section, we chose something light. The linguini was well-cooked and the clams were fresh but I was actually expecting a bit more flavor. At least Hubby liked it.

Chorizo & Shrimp Flatbread (Php 650)

For our first choice of Flatbread, we got something hearty and it doesn't get any meatier than this. I liked how the saltiness of the chorizo helped bring out the flavor of the machego cheese. Add the shrimps & scallions and you're in for a real treat. ;)

The Classic (Php 380)

 And because one Flatbread wasn't enough, we got another one. This time we went for something totally different; we went for The Todd English Classic. This is Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Basil and Parmesan Cheese. So simple yet oh so satisfying. This one got everyone's seal of approval. 

In the end, Hubby had fun and everyone went home with happy tummies & smiles on their faces. ;9 Thanks Todd English Food Hall! ;)

Delightful Dinner at Choi Garden Seafood and Shark's Fin Restaurant, Annapolis Greenhills San Juan, Philippines

Chinese cuisine seems to be our ongoing trend of restaurant choices these past few weeks. For this week it's a trip to Greenhills for Choi Garden's famous asado pao. 

Making reservations is highly recommended. The tables begins to fill up when the clock strikes 7pm. While waiting for the food to come out, I managed to take photos of the place. My favorite part?

Welcome to my window of happy! ;) It's the succulent, crispy, soft & tasty favorites hung up ready for picking. 

I suggest munching on these peanuts while waiting for your orders. 

After a few minutes, our dim sum orders were the first to be served.

Siomai (Php 120)

Shao Long Pao (Php 120)

Eggyolk Pao (Php 120)

We've developed a taste for Custard Buns ever since our Taste Paradise visit. Choi Garden's version gets a thumbs up from me. Just look at the yellow custard center...

That rich creamy & yolk-y flavor is always a delight on the tongue. A word to the wise, get ready for sticky fingers; this yummy treat is quite messy to eat. ;) We also had an order of Radish Cake (Php 120) and a pot of Hot Tea (Php 40) for sharing. 

Lechon (Php 600)

It seems that in every dinner out, this has been a food staple. I think father-in-law has developed quite a taste for it. Choi Garden's version was quite good. The skin was crunchy while the meat was soft & tasty.  

Richman Fried Rice (Php 350)

This was simple & light on the tongue, which worked well with the main dishes.

Salted Eggyolk Prawn (Php 750)

From the buns to this, it was a night of yolks. Food-Stars Verdict? I've always loved salted egg so it's safe to say that this was a hit for me. ;9

1/2 Steam Lapu Lapu (Php 1100)

This was actually a recommendation from Choi Garden's manager, Sylvia. A different take on the usual steamed Lapu Lapu served in Chinese restaurants; this came out already sliced and de-boned. Also notice the sauce, instead of the usual light soy sauce this was citrus-y with sour overtones. Food-Stars Verdict? This was yum. ;9

Singaporean Bihon (Php 350)

This isn't on the menu but after having a couple of spoonfuls, it definitely should be. Food-Stars Verdict? This was actually my favorite of the night. ;9

After seeing boxes & boxes of takeout being carried out by the waiters; we couldn't leave without trying Choi Garden's Asado bun. 

Asado Bun (Php 120)

Okay I'll start by saying that this was quite good; better than what I was expecting actually. The next question is, how did it fare against Tim Ho Wan's buns? It actually depends on what you're in the mood for. I'm edging towards Tim Ho Wan just because theirs were sweeter & I'm a sucker for sweet stuff. I'm thinking Choi Garden is more for the older crowd who appreciates good asado.  

And for dessert, we had Taho. Loved how the sago was still soft after cooking. You can taste that they use good quality soy. Food-Stars Verdict? This is actually the first time that I enjoyed eating Taho. Good job Choi Garden! ;)
