The Beef, In Reference to The Art of War

Amidst all the hamburger joints in Manila vying to be one of the best by creating crazy and mind blowing burger concoctions, The Beef at Hole In The Wall dived into the battle field armed with one zen-like philosophy that goes against the tide; Unclutter the Hamburger. 

While everyone is stacking up their burgers to outrageous proportion, The Beef has ditched all the notion to become just a mere eye candy with high possibility rate of falling short. Instead, its stratagem focuses on the strength of its core - the beef.

"So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War. 

The Beef could have been just another burger joint, yes. But the thrilling part here is that this one is playing on its opponents' blind spot - and they are so goddamn good at it they are actually winning.

Sons of Burger, Kick Ass Gourmet Burgers You Will Swoon For

This article about Sons of Burger in Antipolo City was originally published at the maiden issue of a new food magazine, Flavours & Senses Magazine under the publisher Ocular Media Publications Group. I am thankful that our amazing Editor-In-Chief Dianne Dominique Ting gave me the liberty to share this new restaurant in Antipolo City, one of the places close to my heart.

I am more than enthusiastic to share this piece here on YedyLicious not just because of the Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series I am currently running, but also because this kick ass burger joint is well worth a space here.

This piece was published around October of this year which means this particular visit happened months back. I am confident that there are some new additional items on the menu, so it is set on stone that I will be coming back to Sons of Burger and once again share my experience here. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy reading this.

The Max's Classic Chicken Burger #ChickenLove

Max's Classic Chicken Burger is the latest addition to the menu of Max's Restaurant in line with their 70th years in the business. Max's Restaurant is known as the home of the ever famous Sarap to the Bones Pinoy Fried Chicken. Their staying power in the business which started way back 1945 is a proof that all these years, despite the many competitors that come and go, they are still on top of their game.

Just like all of their other dishes, Max's Classic Chicken Burger is poised to satisfy people's palate with its impeccable taste and dare I say, charm.

Chicken Burger is not really a foreign concept at Max's menu. I remember enjoying it several times when dining at Max's - it was one of my favorites as a matter of fact. But its current version is way way better than its predecessor. For one, it now boasts of 2 chicken burger patties which make it more satisfying.

Burger Company PH Got You Covered This International Burger Day

Truth be told, the Burger Company in Quezon City is one of my favorite local burger restaurants in Manila. It’s always on top three of my list whenever I am being asked for best burger place recommendation. For those who have already tried Burger Company’s burger offerings and then some, I am pretty sure you could understand why. 

But just for the record, let me say it straight, they are one of those that serve the best burgers in Manila.

So while I am working on food research for a writing project that requires me to visit the Burger Company, I figured it’s also the best time to check out their latest offerings especially that the International Burger Day (May 28) is already on the horizon.

Texas Embassy Burger and Fish & Chips Restaurant in Antipolo City [Antipolo Food Trip Series]

I just came from glorious days of food tripping in Palawan and already I am talking about this restaurant in Antipolo City named Texas Embassy Burger and Fish & Chips I have come across with last night. Pardon the excitement, ever since I moved back in this town, one of my personal dilemmas is that there are not a lot of restaurants around I could write about save for the usual fast food chains we also have in Manila.

I bumped into some, yes. Yet, only few have given me the driving force to face my laptop and write about the experience. But I guess it is too early to tell, I am still in the process of reacquainting myself with Antipolo City and its restaurant scene, hence the Antipolo Food Trip series you will be seeing here at YedyLicious from time to time. We will just see how will this pan out.

My goal is to look for restaurants, locally owned if possible, which would give me the reason to just stay within the town and ditch the idea of braving the traffic along Ortigas Ext. and Libis-Santolan area (via Sumulong Highway) whenever I am craving for a full restaurant experience. Just like Tipulo Restaurant which I have written before.
