Bulgogi Brothers, Greenbelt 5

My friends from my former company invited me to a lunch date. I suggested that we eat at Bulgogi Brothers. I have been wanting to eat here for a long time but wouldn’t want to be adventurous before due to my pregnancy. Good thing they haven’t tried this place yet : )


Welcome appetizers - it's free! Think of bread from Italliani's :)

More free appetizers - veggies including kimchi!
We ordered the Gwang Yang Set (available from Monday to Friday only), which includes the following (sorry, don't know all the names but one thing I am sure of - delicious!!!):

reminds me of pizza, fritata and okoy 
 

 stir fried beef with bean sprouts


We also ordered ala carte items:

Seoul Style Bulgogi - sliced beef with vegetables and Bulgogi broth (broth is made of fruits, onions and soy sauce) 
my personal serving of the beef broth

Sogogi Japche
- the glass noodles are very flavorful and the glutinous siding is tasty
 
Melona Melon (melon frozen yogurt)
- very smooth  

each is given their own sauce - double dipping allowed!

a drawer of tissues and chopsticks in every table


The verdict - I will bring bibi here! (and we did just two days after - sorry no pics of new food items that I tried because we were starving already; we also have the Bistro card so we got 20% off from our bill :)

Hershey’s Treats

I love chocolates but I prefer chocolates combined with something like cookies, wafer, nuts. When I saw Hershey’s Treats on TV, I immediately asked bibi to buy at the grocery. Lucky me because he did! I think his leniency towards my food cravings when I was pregnant hasn’t waned yet : )

I love them all!

Stock Market, Bonifacio High Street

Hubby signed me up in MyBistro, the website of the Bistro Group of Restaurants which includes Italianni's, Friday's, Stock Market, Flapjacks, Fish & Co., among others. Upon signing up, the member gets a MyBistro P250 Gift Coupon. I was excited to use the coupon since it's been a while since I tried a new restaurant.

Last Sunday, during my "me" time, I dropped by Stock Market at Bonifacio High Street, its only branch. The place has a relaxed ambiance, may be because there were only a handful of customers that time. Perfect for someone who wants to have some quiet time while eating. The food were kind of pricey, typical of a Bistro restaurant. Here are what I ordered:

Slammers (prime fillet mignon, caramelized onions, bleu cheese crumble, mushroom ragout on soft mini buns, served with chips and fries)  - tastes like an ordinary burger, only smaller 

The fries and chips that come with the mini-burgers - loved the fries - twister!! but the chip is so bland, could use a dip

Lemonada con pandan - the pandan made the fresh lemonade to taste weird; the serving is "bitin"!



The verdict - I will not go back to this restaurant  unless I get a coupon specific for this resto.  I'd rather go to the other Bistro restos, like Italianni's.
