Keeping’ the paragraphs short and just get ready for eye-candy, delicious fooooood.
It was one of the best FOOD CRAWLS I’ve ever experienced in Manila!
Here’s a break down of all the 11 restaurants we went to at the launch of Uptown Parade in BGC yesterday! The foodie in me was extremely joyous from start to finish as each restaurant made us try their signature dishes and drinks, and by the end of this blog post, I’ll tell you my top go-to places amongst all, each with a different vibe and impeccable cuisine! It was truly a gastronomic, one-of-a-kind experience – my kind of thrill.
Come walk with me right now at Uptown Parade’s Food (pub) Crawl…







This will be one of my top go-to places for Italian food in the metro. Another word I can add for them is CONSISTENCY. They will always have the same good food, hence the quality is always al dente.
Simple. Fresh. My favorite from Salvatore Cuomo & Bar, Caprese.
My fave also at Salvatore Cuomo & Bar… Gnocchi!







Was I starting to feel the “food coma” vibe at only the second restaurant?!?
Hahaha!





Panalo ka din, CHAR. I underestimated you. You were so good! For your SG fix, come here-lah!
Now up next, Palate!!!
Palate has an intricate design for food. For IG-worthy snaps, check out Palate.
Going to 5th… If you want good PORK, this is the place to go to. Scroll away…












Now, want some ramen?






On to the 8th… This is a no brainer. When my husband and I crave for delicious burgers in Manila, we always go here. It’s part of our top 5 burger joints in Metro Manila.
Say hello to SWEET ECSTACY!






If you want some good tapas and wine in the area, the next one is your next bet.






LAST STOP!!!!!!!!
Last but not the least… one of my new faves, HOOK!




Go for ’em oysters, Apples! SO GOOD.
