8 Cuts Burger blend date

Long before we decided to eat here, I've been already eyeing this burger joint for the blogs I've read about it. The opportunity came when we went on a date last Sunday and is trying to find a new place to eat. Upon entering the place, we were then ushered to a table for two.

Outside 8 Cuts Burger Megamall. Notice the long queu?

Once seated we were handed out their menu. I had a hard time choosing because they all looked appetizing. I let my boyfriend customize his own burger while I, in the end settled for their four cheese burger and also ordered to cans of Mug to wash down the meat. I was looking at the table on our left and immediately noticed their basket of onion rings and then it hit me. That will make our dining experience complete. So I also ordered a basket for ourselves. We waited around five minuted before we were served. First came our drinks then the basket of onion rings. We took a bite of their onion rings and it was so tasty. The batter coated the onion rings perfectly and evenly and the barbeque powder sprayed on the top worked. My boyfriend didn't like the barbeque powder sprayed saying that the onion rings were better off without them. 

Never order their burgers without this. I swear it's that good (65php)

Either way we still enjoyed them and in no time our burgers came. I was really thrilled and to document what we ate, I took the liberty to take photos of the food before gobbling them all down. My burger, had loads of cheese and tasted heavenly. My boyfriend said it reminded him of Sbarro's Chicago white deep dish. The meat, coupled with parmesan, yellow cheddar, aged gruyere and mozarella was certainly a winner and a must order. His burger on the other hand is a nice surprise. I was hesitant to try the ox meat blend because I've never really tried anything with ox but it was really good. To be honest I liked his customized burger more. He instructed the staff to put in all the toppings they have to offer just to get a taste of what they have to offer. And the result came out more like Tropical Hut's Classic burger. His patty was so juicy and really flavorful.

Customized burger with ox meat blend patty (190php)

We were so full when we finished our meal. For only 687php we got to enjoy artisan burgers. The staff were also courteous and assisted us in all our needs. This restaurant is now definitely included on my list of favorites.

Our favorite Chinese place, Wai Ying Binondo Manila

We were once again out to fully maximize our weekend together and this time, we decided to explore Quiapo after of course, buying our new bike. The day started pretty good. We left after eating our late breakfast. We went over bicycle shops first to snag a better price. We ended up with a very handsome Trix gray mountain bike. Since we didn't get to eat lunch before leaving and it is already way past lunch, we decided to go grab some food.

We decided on Wai Ying. We biked. And by biked meaning he did all the footwork. The place was packed. It was already past 2PM and we were still put on waiting list. We decided to wait up until 2:30PM. Luckily we were seated before that. Menu on our hand, I decided to get Shrimp Chong Fan. At that time I don't know what it's called. I tried to visually tell it to the lady taking our orders. Luckily, she knew what we were talking about as it is one of their best sellers. Of course we also ordered Shrimp Hakaw, my Peking duck rice meal and his Chicken feet and ribs meal. We waited around less than ten minutes before our orders arrived. Since it is our first time eating Shrimp Chong Fan, we tried it first. And it did not disappoint. It is indeed one of the best appetizers I've tasted. The sauce gave it a wonderful touch. Alone it could've been another hakaw but with the sauce, we're ta;king about a different class of dimsum. It's so good, my boyfriend even asked if we could take out an order of it. If we're not riding (sharing) a bike we could've. He also added an order of their version of milktea which is by the way delicious. I personally can't get enough of it.

 All in all we paid around 550php which is really sulit by the way since our tummies are full to the brim. When we're around Quiapo or Divisoria, it's already a no-brainer for us that we'll go to Wai Ying to eat.
