The Outlook Steak & Grill at Grand Sierra Pines Baguio

Posted on February 6, 2019

The first restaurant we went into during our December Baguio trip was the The Outlook Steak & Grill, located at Grand Sierra Pines Baguio, a few steps away from The Atrium Lobby Café. Offering a wide selection of Western dishes, The Outlook Steak & Grill is notable for its sous vide steaks.

The restaurant gives a breathtaking view of the hotel (Grand Sierra Pines Baguio), as well as Baguio’s towering pine trees.

Black Truffle Soup, Php100 (cupsize) and Php190 (for sharing)

This smooth and creamy Black Truffle Soup was so heartwarming! Perfect for the chilly Baguio weather and best paired with the flaky black Cubano!

Truffled Potato Fries, Php199

Our ever-predictable son, who loves French fries, ordered Truffled Potato Fries. These are fries and bacon bits dressed in truffle oil and grated parmesan. Despite its promising looks, Justin wasn’t able to finish this because he’s not really used to having fries with truffle oil. I guess he needs time to get accustomed to its taste.

Buffalo Chicken Wings, Php300

These Buffalo Chicken Wings are sweet, tangy and spicy crispy fried chicken, served with cucumber, carrot and jicama (singkamas) sticks with garlic ranch dip. Well, what do you know! The platter was wiped clean; nothing remained, not even those veggie sticks. Yay!

Angus Beef Salpicao, Phhp410

This Angus Beef Salpicao is hubby and my’s hands-down favorite! It’s stir-fried beef in olive oil and garlic with Worcestershire sauce, cherry tomatoes and French beans, served with rice pilaf. The beef was tender and savory. I loved the crispy French beans, too!

Churros, Php110

These Churros sure are crunchy! Plus, it comes with two sauces: hot choco and cream cheese, so take your pick! Personally, I prefer hot choco over cream cheese for my churros.

If you happen to be in Baguio and you’re looking for a place to experience good food and great ambiance, I recommend you try The Outlook Steak & Grill.

Manam Café at SM Megamall

Posted on January 18, 2019

It was November of last year when we first spotted Manam Café at SM Megamall. After a tiring Family Day in Pisay that left the oldies (hubby and me) exhausted, we took a long nap before setting out to look for a place to eat. Our hungry tummies led us to try Manam Café’s food offerings.

We ordered Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais plus Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits. We also tried their Ube + Sago.

Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais (Medium), Php345

This item on Manam Café’s menu caught my eye. What a delightful way of serving halaan soup – with coconut milk! Hubby and I approved of it, but we both wished we were having hotter/warmer soup. Not really sure if my “snap first, eat later” attitude had something to do with this. Lol! We would love to have this Laksa-Style Halaan Soup with Crispy Sili Leaves & Mais again.

Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits (Medium), Php495

This Crispy Pata with Garlic-Chili Bits was indeed crispy. It was also an excellent complement to the halaan soup, but it’s lightly salted, so best to dip it in the accompanying soy vinegar sauce.

Ube + Sago, Php110

This Ube + Sago shake was already my dessert. It was lightly sweetened, which I liked. Even my son enjoyed it. Hubby tasted it, too, but he said he wanted it sweeter.

Manam Café’s menu looks really promising, and by the looks of it, this won’t be the last time we’re dining there.
