What is Port BBQ? or was it Pork BBQ? If it is the latter then my wife will swear by the BBQ from the Beach House (Sunken Garden, UP Diliman).
Half-vote to McDo for the fries but lately I am hooked on the thick-cut french fries from KFC. The fries from Brother’s Burger is also a good treat (but rather too pricey for my taste).
I dont know what category Dampa-style of restaurants fall in but I would recommend the Seafood market at the Home Depot along Julia Vargas ave, in Ortigas. More bang for your buck if this type of eateries are your thing.
ciao!
Hey Erin - thanks for the noticing the typo (I corrected it already).
I haven’t tried the BBQ in UP but Im all for BBQ.
I also agree about seafood markets and aside from Dampa, yes the one at Home Depot is definitlely a thumbs up. It beats Dampa re: parking and ambience. Hehe.
I have updated the post with your inputs.
Come visit again!
np. added this to to my feed reader since this one hits closer to my heart, err, stomach. i am a bit stingy except when it comes to gadgets (when i get away with it
) and food.
ciao!
[...] I have made some additions and deletions to my Good Eats list: [...]
[...] In my Good Eats post, I had listed that for me the Best Crispy Sisig could be eaten at Gerry’s Grill. I had struck it out from the list later on in the part 2 of that post. The reason being, I was disappointed a few weeks ago with the sisig that I had eaten at Gerry’s Grill @ Blue Wave. The sisig they served was first of all - not sizzling - and second it wasn’t crispy at all. The chicharon bits sprinkled on top were more “makunat” (tough) than crispy. The pork half-cooked by the hot plate so it turned out really “malansa” (term used for fish smell). The experience was so bad for me that I swore to take it off my Good Eats list and so I did. [...]
Hi Apples,
Have you tried the “Ineng’s” bbq eatery along
Dela Rosa St. in Makati? Basically it is behind the Federal restaurant in the Allied Bank building, and immediately after the walkway stairs near the Prince Plaza building. It is beside Pancake House and near Teriyaki Boy. My officemates are currently infatuated with it so most of our dinner involves going to Inengs. At 32 pesos a stick, two of their special barbecue is enough for hungry diners. My officemates wont keep on coming back if it is not good.
Downside is that seating is at a premium so I wont advise going there during meal breaks, and if you want something besides BBQ then the options would be very limited. It was not called Ineng’s barbecue for nothing.
ciao!
@Erin,
Really? It’s that good? I have had an Ineng’s leaflet on my drawer since last year (dunno how I got it) and pass by the branch in Jupiter. In fact, I think I did hear it was good. But no havent tried it. And I didnt know that there was one in Dela Rosa. Maybe I will drop by one of these days as its very near my office. I hope its as good as Aling Nene’s or Heaven’s. Thanks for the tip!
Im eating a takeout order as I am typing this.
I havent tried their regular bbq but the special one is always in our list. What I normally do is get 1 special bbq and 1 grilled premium sausage, and then 2 orders of rice.
It has been a while since I have been to beach house but I think this would be a good alternative.
ciao!

Hmm.. some of my picks:
Best Coffee Shop- I agree w/ Starbucks! (Light caramel frap for me!!)
Best Bakeshop- Red Ribbon (choco-mocha or coffee crunch.. the best!) and Chocolate Kiss (their cakes are sinful!).. and oh, Conti’s!! Woohoo!!
Best chocolate dessert- I like HungryPac’s chocolate ecstacy! yung lang eh masaya na ko.
Best chocolate candies- chocolate na sya talaga, Ferrero Rocher! then Cadbury and Hersheys pa rin!
Best potato chips- Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream! although mas love ko popcorn esp. Chef Tony’s and Holy Kettle Corn!
Best local fast food/hamburger chain- Wendy’s (for their Bacon Mushroom Melt), Brother’s Burger, Hotshots (crispy burgermelt!!!) and Tropical Hut!!
Best pandesal- i like Pan de Manila’s.

for fries, i also like the one served in TGIFridays! its so good especially w/ the honey mustard dip.
you know Cajun Burgers? Used to have a branch in Glorietta food choices, they’ve got good and big beef or grilled chicken burgers, plus you get to choose what toppings you want. yumyum! i miss it though. would anyone know if may branch pa sila?
i know there’s brooklyn pizza in BF Paranaque, makati and better living, pque.
