Woah! I can now finally believe that everything happens for a reason. I was quite annoyed at first when my family did not listen to me when they asked where we should eat after we finished our flu vaccination agenda in Aurora. I told them that we can eat at Robinsons Magnolia but they ignored me. Kapag sumagot ka saan kakain, magrereklamo; kapag hindi ka sumagot saan kakain, magrereklamo pa rin -- ano na? Haha, hayy! Hated my sister for choosing Cubao because most joints in the malls are fast-food chains and it was not a good idea knowing we have elders with us. I thought I lost but guess what, I actually won! I have been wanting to pig-out at Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken because of my celebrity crush Enchong Dee and yup, this is where we had our sumptuous lunch! :) Unexpected moments shall always be the best, huh? Maybe the universe really led the family to this fantastic restaurant. I could not believe that there is this excellent bistro in the Gateway Mall! I thought it is just a pathway connecting to Farmer's Market and MRT and LRT. Little did I know, there is Peri-Peri too! Woohoo! So! I have no expectations for this restau. I did not read any review or whatever so all these I am gonna say are plain and pure observations during our visit here. The fam arrived at Peri-Peri at past 11:30 and we were glad to be accommodated even if we did not have any reservations. Because after some minutes? People were waiting outside already! We were lucky to go in before the peak hours. More so, it was so sweet of the staff for having us transferred to a better table when they saw that we seem crowded in our seats. We were seven, eh. With that, I commend them for being friendly and intuitive. They also move fast, so good job guys -- nice work! The interiors made me feel like I was in Coco movie. Imagined myself that I was in Mexico because of the vibe. Haha! The hanging banderitas, interesting walls, colored bottles, and chicken trinkets blended attractively together. It is also amusing that the store has televisions around the room to entertain the customers. One TV shows advertisements like Enchong's dance music video, while the other is connected to the cable where people can see a movie. While the food? I have no comment about it. It left me speechless and breathless, I do not want to leave the room -- like I want to stay in Peri-Peri forever and ever and make it into my own kitchen already! Haha! Legit! Because every food we ordered made me utter, "ang sarap!" And every bite had me repeatedly said, "sobrang sarap!" Because it is! The food are really awesome! As in! The dishes served to our table tasted the best! I am not overreacting. Try it so you would see. And if I would suggest, order the group meals like Bolivia because super worth it. Super love the temper of the chicken, softness of the ribs, and its sauces! Oh geez, I am craving right now! My grandma who is very meticulous with food praised how every dish got cooked deliciously. Coming from the best cook I know, I must leave the judgment to you. For I also asked Nanay between her favorite Max's and Peri-Peri. Guess what she picked without a blink of an eye and with a wide smile? The latter! Having her to choose Peri-Peri over her all-time favorite means something! 'Cause I swe-aaar, this is such a goooood restaurant! So glad the family found a new place to eat out, and of course, a new place to spend more happy memories together. So much love for Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken and the fam bam, yay! 💖 Just a few behind-the-scenes coverage that happened in Peri-Peri. Look at how my family smiled. We enjoyed it so much! I am sure you would too :) Peri Peri Charcoal Chicken & Sauce Bar Various locations: https://www.zomato.com/manila/restaurants/peri-peri-charcoal-chicken-1 https://www.facebook.com/peripericharcoalchicken/

A true friend is someone who celebrates triumphs and mourns defeats with you. A true friend is someone who laughs because of your stupid acts but checks up on you afterward. A true friend is someone who guides you to the right path and wants the best for you at all times. A true friend is someone who is always there for you at any cost. A true friend is someone who shares exceptional memories and unfiltered moments that last -- no one can ever thieve. And just like a true friend, Buddy's Restaurant proves that it has what it takes to make a good pal. How so? Keep on reading! :) Started in the 80s, Buddy's, a Lucbanin pride, has brought a big change to the Filipino food scene. From the fifty-peso capital for ice candy to bitsuwelas lumpia, to burger to longganisa to pizza, this food chain expanded in its mainland, Quezon Province, and eventually, to its neighboring towns, including Metro Manila. Having to branch out just states a fact of how great this dining place is. People would not come and patronize the restaurant if there is nothing special, agree? Buddy's Restaurant is a success for so many reasons. One may be because, Buddy's is a perfect example that humble beginnings can turn out to be (one of) the best in the world if only one has the initiative to start and never quit, play the game wisely, and continuously believe that you can do wondrous things. Just a little backgrounder too that it is not my first time here at Buddy's. Actually, I knew this bistro since forever. My parents have been used to bringing me and my sister (also the extended fam) here and yeah, I do not think we would ever want to stop going here. Been a regular customer and I must say, there is no "bad" (because the pronunciation of the word Buddy's is bad-is lol waley) experience at Buddy's -- it is all good, all right, every time we visit such outlets. The dining experience and palatable menu are the secrets why w always come back. Hearts and tummies are full whenever we step out of the Buddy's doorway. Entering Buddy's Restaurant, the staff would welcome you with their warmest smiles and hospitality attitude. They even suggest how you can save your budget when you order too! And as you look around, you would see this joint standing out because it is glowing, so lively, for every Buddy's Restaurant is designed with a festive vibe. The lights and kipings are uplifting because of its bright colors. No need to wait for Pahiyas because that event is celebrated all year round here! Know that it is not the type of restaurant where there is a waiter or waitress who would get your order. It will be you who must go to the cashier and place them. You are free to seat wherever you like when there are vacant seats. But, whenever the store is jam-packed, it will be the ones who ordered first who are prioritized for the tables. Yup, first come, first-serve basis. And I account the management for doing this system as it shows how they pave way their sense of respect for the customers. No worries naman for your seats because the store has waiting chairs and the staff would handle the reservations properly. The waiting time is usually not that long, you would not even realize the minutes passed by. Buddy's peak hours are lunch and dinner time, but sometimes even merienda too. Buddy's offers a wide selection of Filipino and Spanish food. It has sandwiches and breads, sizzlers and steaks, barbecue and grills, even pizza, noodles, and pasta that can be bought ala carte or via bilao, depending on the size you want. The bestsellers are the ones I said previously: burger, pizza, and of course, the Lucban, Quezon longganisa. Buddy's are also known for desserts, salads, and even kakanins or rice cakes like Budin or baked cassava. Buddy's Restaurant is the place to be if you want to fill your tummies without breaking the bank. Its delectable taste and satisfying servings are very sulit to the price. A thousand peso can feed you pancit, spaghetti, sizzling sisig, supreme pizza, and a dozen of its signature longganisa -- may sukli at pang-inumin pa! Oha! Like a true friend, Buddy's would provide you the satisfying comfort from whatever that is that happened in your day. Like a true friend, Buddy's would help you correct those curved lines and make those feelings better. Like a true friend, Buddy's would serve you the greatest food for no more, no less because they know you deserve the special things. Like a true friend, Buddy's would always be by your side, as it knows how hard it is to start small. Like a true friend, Buddy's would always be that one excellent place to spend memories with the people you love. For Buddy's Restaurant is a home. And similar to its name, indeed, it is an amazing comrade you can always turn your back to. Because you got a good and true friend here at Buddy's Restaurant! All. The.
