The Cookbook Kitchen

Note: I didn’t have time to bring my camera. All photos are from the Cookbook Kitchen website.

The Cookbook Kitchen is a hole-in-the-wall homey restaurant deep in Mandaluyong. I’ve been reading about it for months now but didn’t have the time to actually try it. BF and I were hesitant at first since it might just be a waste of time and money..but it was OK. We got lost going there and almost gave up but we were already starving so we had to find it. It’s a house that has been converted into a restaurant. Don’t expect fine dining ‘coz this ain’t it. It’s very “artsy” and the feel of the place is just right for the kind of food they serve which we liked. Although, I felt we paid too much for what we ordered. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and would return to that restaurant again.

The Squash Soup – I like this soup particularly because it tasted fresh and the flavor of the squash was complimented very well by the sour cream (just the right amount not too much).

 

sango burger: the japanese mcdo

Looking for something interesting take on japanese? Have a JAPANESE BURGER at Sango. It’s like a japanese mcdo burger…who would’ve thunk? Its located at the Creekside Mall along Amorsolo Street. It’s beside Pharoah

Sango specializes in burgers and fries. Its specialty is the MASTER BURGER which we ordered. There was a special sauce that came with it which was hassle to eat but well worth it. I think the sauce is similar to sloppy joes (tomato sauce mixed with onions, etc.) We only tried the burgers but there are other delicious options in their menu. They serve rice burgers (hopefully better than the terrible idea mcdonalds had), rice toppings, and even dessert. I’m dying to try out their melon soda which is supposedly made out of cantaloupe not the usual melon.
