Let the small stuff be spotted.--- Wew! This is the tagline of this page.

Have you ever gone to mall's foodcourt? Have you try any stalls there?

Let me site this one.

familiar??

Ordered their Pares served with big cup of fried rice and pancit. 


• did not expect so much for this well,
• exceeded my expectation
• worthy for the price and budget friendly
• literally not bad for Filipino food lovers.
• a bit sweet that complements
• love the free soup
• too much carbs because of the pancit. HAHAHA
• you can share
• big serving, literally!
• one of the recommended stall in foodcourt
• no regrets
• also, try their Beef Tapsilog



WHERE IS PINOY TOPPINGS

Majority of SM Malls Foodcourt have sign board "Pinoy toppings" at the top.

your 150 php is more than enough for the taste, serving and drinks.

Before I appreciate Pinoy Toppings I first judged it as not worth for money choice based on my first and bad experience way back in college.
It's funny but it is worth to have a second chance, after 5 years.

PINOY TOPPINGS!


 I want to be honest with you guys, sometimes I am super excited to try and share restaurants, beverages desserts with big names and brands already that I forgot the small fast foods and small restos that offer much affordable and sometimes much good foods. I will continue doing that but will make sure that majority are affordable and fits with the budget.

RAMEN NAGI - THE No. 1 in TASTE
 

I always eat here with my friend Josh, who is a ramen fan actually, he introduced to Ramen Nagi way back 2015 and that was the start of my ramen ventures.

My favorite is their original Butao Ramen seconded by their GREEN Butao.


 

• customizing ramen is love
• so love the broth
• SUPER Pork Belly!!!!!!
• hard noodles; additional onion;
• consistent in taste
• deliciously fantastic!
• best to add tamago, always!


YOU CANNOT SPLIT but YOU CAN SHARE

BEST BRANCH of RAMEN NAGI is at 
PODIUM - Their service is WIhhhNNER!!!!

RAMEN NAGI - PODIUM
12 ADB Ave, San Antonio,
Mandaluyong, 1605 Metro Manila, Philippines

Prices ranges from 390 php -  500 php

I posted Ramen Nagi in my instagram account (@mersacabal) after eating there.

 At first I wasn't sure about the taste because it was my first authentic Ramen experience, but the hype of a lot of people saying that it's good brought me to try go there and actually experience it for real.

Everything is just so good!
 
Even though I'm not a noodle person, I really liked the ramen in Ramen Nagi.

The broth felt tasty, milky and it just goes so well with the soft boiled egg.
Ramen Nagi serves the best ramen I should have crave for, so far?.

Their tamago or simply means..

uuhh! EGG....
I was amazed with the price at first but the 60php is so worth it. really really worth it. The first bite was just like heaven in taste of course I am not an egg person but with the ramen soup is just awesome. Do not miss a chance to add tamago after your ramen.


as I observed gyoza is the favorite side dish in ramen or any other noodle soup (as I experienced).
Ramen Nagi’s sizzling Gyoza Dumplings we're well-steamed so juicy and light  and its  crispy skin stayed as it was served. .hmmmm I have tried many gyozas and honestly not a very remarkable one but it is not fair to compare to worst served gyoza in other resto.

a must try dish still.

Because of what I have experience with their Butao I decided to try their green butao....

butao king,
The richness of its taste is what I am looking for.

I spent 390 for the butao and additional 60 for tamago.

Perfect combination.

And for me, Ramen Nagi serves my best friend ramen 


disclaimer: I did not follow the proper way of eating ramen. I just ate it with how I  usually eat food.. I might offend some ramen and Japanese fans. :)

SHAW BOULEVARD BRANCH - THE 24 HRS PARES + SIOMAI BEST FRIENDS


few blocks away from my friends place found this pares house.
tried their specialty combo, buttered and friend chicken, special pancit.

• very affordable
• unli-rice. big servings
• either pares or siomai or BOTH!!! yipppieee
• garlic rice then white rice.
• thumbs up for the soup 
• I do not like the idea of mixing the siomai pares together. hmmm it wasn't quite good, but
• pares + rice = ok; siomai + rice = ok. stick to best friends not lovers (:P).



• Best with the taste, a must try!
• my favorite!
• rich and true BUTTERED chicken for me. i've tried many versions of buttered chicken and some of them limit the butter. that makes the dishes deficient.
especially the wing and thigh part which are my favorite parts of the chicken.
• BEST deal for the price and servings.
good for 3-4 people.
 
 

• this is actually my 2nd to my favorite.
• I have to admit even if its obvious that I am a fan of fried and chickens. hahaha
cooked crispy.
• the looks and smell was so attracting. 
• the sauce also blends to the chicken meat.
• a typical friend chicken in a chinese place
• good for 3-4 people.



not really fan of pansit
also it has liver, I only take liver when in spread or in sauces. 
• but their pancit is sulit (worthy).
veggies, meat, and so many ingredients for this little order. not bad.
• i prefer rice than pancit actually. 
to unbias review I asked my friend to taste it and she loved it. it's preference always.
• as per her,  sweet and delicious as it is.




I don't know what was the occasion why we ordered that tons of food. I personally admit that I judged them for the serving of food but WOAHHHH! hahaha

I was able to take out some pansit and buttered chicken for my team mates.

BUCKY's COUNTER - LOSE FROM SWEETNESS

After my Ramen Kuroda foodtrip in BF Homes we tried here. 


Ordered Bucky's n Cream, Softserve Cone and Latte to blend for balance the sweetness of 2. 

 literally SWEETNESS OVERLOAD
Soft serve cone
Bucky's and Cream on the side

• super sweet
• really for desserts and sweet lovers.
• a bit of saltiness
• i love dairy products and i love the vanilla ice cream. 
• mixing the little brownies for me over the sweetness. it is not kind of good idea. 
• I really can't accept its sweetness alone, best to drink with espresso. 
• Cone is freshly made.

The Instagramable Latte
• Mr. perfect to balance it all
• I love it
• simple presentation.
• serving was just ok just in a glass but that's enough



• service was good. that time only 1 person who assisted the customers. and make the cone. :)
• per desserts can be done by 2-3 person not because of size but because of sweet intake. 
• Whenever I look in this photo I still crave.
• place is not for oldies who hates stairs. 
• peaceful place
• clean and cute place's theme
• good place for long talk. I think.
