What's a perfect brunch setting for you? Well, if you would ask me, it's a good vibes morning with the sun not too hot, just the perfect temperature. Waking up to the sound of nature, smelling the pancakes, jazz or country music and well, waffles. No car or motor sounds.. just the calming breeze of air and a good view to ponder. Sounds dreamy? Too bad, we're living in the metro.. and unless you have your own garden in a super secured subdivision with no outside noise to distract you, then we're the same. Perfect brunch setting doesn't exist in the metro. But! Thank God we have restaurants that serve an all day breakfast that gives you just the same experience, at least for the food. :)

I've been waiting for ages for this lego themed burger joint to open! Ever since I saw their tarpaulin and the picture of their soon to be served burgers, I already wondered on how will they craft that lego looking burger bun.. and if it really looks like that in person. And now that they're open and currently on soft opening, I didn't miss the chance to finally see for myself if this burger joint really serves lego looking burgers and if it really tastes good or it's just all about appearance.

Unless you're living in a cave or has not been online for the past month, you've probably already heard about The Yard. The another addition to the booming food parks around and outside the metro. And being me that always wants to try out new food scenes, me and the boyf braved the Sunday rain to try and see what's the fuss about this food park and how is it different from the others we've tried. 

This is one of the best around Lilac. Been wanting to try this resto for ages now and on my first time, I know this will be one of my favorites. With its generous serving and glorious food, I bet everyone would love this place. It's actually one of the reasons why I think this place is famous around Marikina and its neighboring cities. Lliac St. is the Maginhawa of Marikina, and with the food industry booming in every corner, this resto still manages to be one of the best. And I believe it will remain that way for a long time. 

Okay, so for starters, I'm not a fan of shawarma. But my boyfriend and his friends are on the search for the best and authentic shawarma in town. This isn't your typical shawarma stand on LRT/MRT stations. What they or should I say 'we' (because I'm part of the searching team already. LOL),  look for are the authentic ones. Those are carefully made from fresh produce and stays true to the real taste. There are those that claim they are the best shawarma in town, but there are those that claimed their shawarma isn't the typical ones but is definitely authentic. One of those is Boy Shawarma. 

I've been dying to try a game board cafe ever since it became a hit in the metro. I love playing one and it used to be part of my childhood. Well, not the fancy ones. Just the Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, and Millionaire's type of game. I never knew there are loooooots of it. And when I say lots, I mean actually a loooot. One of my favorite board game ever is Monopoly (like duh, this is the only I used to play always). I once was able to play Clue which by the way is very nice and what was made me inclined into playing board games and look for other "fancy" ones. It also made me thought of buying one already but I couldn't find a seller so I just shrug the idea off. 

With the food industry getting bigger and bigger, there sure are many hungry stomachs waiting to discover new food choices. This type of food scene isn't new in the metro though. We've heard about Banchetto, BAGA Manila, and yes Mercato Centrale.

The Round table isn't your typical buffet menu that overwhelms you with the number of dishes served. In here, it is quality over quantity. According to their Facebook page info "The Round Table is an innovative and contemporary restaurant that serves both latest international trends and their own versions of our favorite traditional Filipino dishes." 

I've eaten here twice and both my experience are amazing. FYI, The Round Table buffet specializes in having a different theme of menu for every night of the week. If I'm not mistaken and if my infos are still updated, they serve whole day breakfast during Mondays, Italian every Tuesdays, Japanese every Wednesday (Mongolian before), Filipino every Thursday, and roast carving during Fridays. As for weekends, it varies every week. The first time I went, they had a Street food theme where they serve Filipino street foods such as Pares, fishball, kikiam, squidballs, kwek kwek, pansit, and other food I can't remember already.

So what made us come back? Because of its affordable yet scrumptious buffet menu. My boyfriend and I are supposed to try Kapitolyo's newly opened food park but while I was running through my newsfeed, I found out that they're serving a Carnivorous type of buffet for that day. And so what a way to end a week? Head on to The Round Table!
