Bowler's - Salcedo Village, Makati City

WE were craving for the boneless buffalo chicken at Bugsy's, but sadly the place was full, then we remembered there is a bad just around the corner and suprisingly, it was not full. And we like the interior better than Bugsy. It feels cleaner.

Service was good, and fast

Chicken tandoori pita:

Elle: Cold, cold, cold. This dish was served cold! I do not know if it was intentional or not but the chicken was already stiff and dry when I bit into it. The wraps were too doughy and flour-y which I would expect from a doughy piece of pita. Flavor-wise it was just okay. Nothing special about it that would make me remember the dish well.

Cody: i never liked Indian food in general but i love Tandooris!! but was also as sad as Ellle when this plate was served in front of us. It was indeed cold and sad, Filling though, but thats the only cmpliment i can give them. We initially wanted pizzas, but they were not available at this time becasue according to the server, they had a big crowd last night and all their pizza doughs were finished. How hard is it to make pizza dough?? i can make it for them in less than 2 hours. Geeezzzz. Oh well
Mango mojito: Elle:I was disappointed because the mojito was not frozen. It served its purpose to get me a bit tipsy but I did not enjoy it because it was served with ice. It would have been better if it were a slushie.

Cody: MY rant here is that the Majito lacked a bit more rum, you can taste it but it doesnt give you even a bit of a buzz after downing a few glasses. Too bad for the quality. The best Manjo mojito for me is still at CAFE HAVANA.

Will we be back here?? maybe... the location was quite convenient for us.. i hope they can improve on their food and drink

ClarkField..Angeles...Pampanga... houses a lot f restos from different places in the planet. There are mexican, japanese, korean, italian, thai, filipino, cajun/creole, ecc etc.. so food trips here are really fun.

While driving around, we chanced upon this interesting looking resto with a interesting name..

We were suprised.. because we were thinking that we are going into a mexican restaurant specializing in chicken... lo and behold, this is a korean restaurant:) Open form 4pm to 4am, this place is said to be more of a drinking place.

The moment you seated you are given this free pica-pica food.

The menu is posted up on the wall

WE ordered their house specialty, the Fried Chicken said to be fried in special Korean Cooking Pil. Half order for P300 comes with a red sauce

Elle: The chicken was slightly battered, well-seasoned and was very crispy. The meat was tender and not oily. The dipping sauce was both sweet and spicy and gave it its Korean flavor

Cody: This is how fried chicken should be, no oily feel, no oily taste. Chicken skin fried to a crisp. The meat, hot moist and perfectly

There are a number of korean restaurants in manila that serves this kind of fried chicken.. we willvtry it out and tell you guys about it, for the meantime, if ever you are in the area, try this one out...

Bugsy's Bistro - Citygolf Plaza, J. Vargas Ortigas

Citygolf Plaza Ortigas, houses not only a driving range and a golf apparel/equipment stuff, it also houses a lot of restaurants. Which includes the first branch of Barcino, Razons, Brooklyn Pizza, Dominos Pizza, etc etc...

But we have been reading about a bar here that serves good food and reasonably priced drinks.

Place is quit homey, the interiors are done in wood, very cool. Waiters are attentive and food are served hot and fast. now for the famous appetizer...

Buffalo Chicken Tenders P195

Cody: Heard a lot of good things about the chicken tenders here, that we just have to try it and we did. This was the only dish we ordered and it was all worth it.  Crispy skin even when it was sauced with the spicy tangy buffalo wing sauce.  The meat was tender and moist inside.  A blue cheese sauce would have been perfect but they served sour cream which was also a good accompaniment to the chicken.

Elle: VERY yummy chicken tenders!!! Skin was very crispy, you could hear it snap and break into pieces and the meat was very soft.  The sauce that the chicken was cooked in was sour yet delicious.  It complimented the crispiness of the chicken.  If it had been sweet it would not have been as good. 

Definitely one of the must order appetizers here in the Ortigas area.  Very nicely done…..
