  • I hate Fantastic Chef’s Unlimited Korean Barbecue!

    February 19, 2019 / 0 Comments

    You read it right. I hate it. I hate that I made the right decision of taking my family to Malate to eat in here on a weekend because they are asking me to take them back. I hate that the restaurant is too far from home. I had to travel for hours only to experience their authentic Korean food. I hate that their meat tastes so good that it haunts me.

It is the time where I let go of all my stress, exhaustion and anxiety from my day job. I have various ways to celebrate my Friday nights. It’s either I hit the hay early for some good sleep or go out with friends and family to pig out (though it sounded more like I am stress eating). Most of the time, I choose the latter as I get to spend quality time over a …

  • Why Fantastic Baka should be your favorite Korean Restaurant

    October 26, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Much about the Korean culture has made a lot of Filipinos go gaga – its boy and girl group of young and talented artists, their music, their heartfelt TV dramas, their delectable food and more. This also has made a lot fly to the country to experience these things first hand. Taking this fad as an opportunity, a lot of Korean restaurants rose in different corners of the Metro. Just then, the words ‘samgyupsal’, or “unlimited Korean barbecue” is never out of everyone’s discourse.
