Zark's Burger

Last July 3, 2011, I watched the Azkals vs Sri Lanka Game in the Rizal Memorial Auditorium. After the game, my sister, her friend, the boyfriend, and I had dinner in one of the "only in Taft" food chain, Zark's Burger. They have amazingly big servings plus yummy burger with home-made patties. It's a must-try for burger lovers.

Three-Pointer is a burger with three kinds of cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, and cheese sauce) served with lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions. (source Zark's menu)

The recent addition to Zark's menu is their desserts. We tried Fried Snickers (or at least that's what I remember) and it was okay. It tasted like Wicked Oreo of Flaming Wings.

Zark's burger is located at Archer's nook, La Salle taft. (on top of Yellow Cab).

The Plantation Bar + Bistro

The boyfriend and I had one of those lunch in a new restaurant. As suggested by our office mate, we tried The Plantation Bar and Bistro. It looks and feels so high-end, but in reality, their food is affordable and reasonable. The food is yummy with big-serving, which makes it suitable for sharing. We tried the following meals:

Chicken Parmigiana (P185)

Chicken Parmigiana is a bacon-wrapped fillet of chicken, mashed potato, marinara sauce, baked cheese, roasted Mediterranean vegetables.

Cajun Chicken Pasta (P195)

Their Cajun Chicken Pasta consists of Cajun chicken, cream sauce, black olives, and cherry tomatoes.

Grilled Chicken Pesto (P160)

Grilled Chicken Pesto is one of my fave pasta EVER. This is a must-try for me. It's not the best I have tried but definitely worth it.

Chocolate Cake (P150)

To finish our meal we had chocolate cake (also called Amnesia). It's really soft, and for some unknown reason, it felt juicy.

The Plantation is located at 106 Carlos Palanca St. Legaspi Village Makati City. They also have free wifi and accept payment via VISA card. :) I double-checked my receipt and no service charge.

Cheesecake, Etc.

Last Mother's Day we decided to have dessert in Cheesecake, Etc. along Banawe Avenue, Quezon City. The place was really cozy and the staff were friendly. I had the taste of their Choco Dome Cake (image below) and I would highly recommend it to friends who dig sweets and yummy cakes.
