MAKCHANG (황소막창)

It is your typical downtown food dining area with non-fancy chairs and back to basic coal grill that appears very friendly and accommodating. An uplifting feeling envelope you as they say welcome to you in Korean oh-seo-o-se-yo (어서오세요!).

OUR ORDERS:

Bite sized meat. Hey, don't judge. We eat first then take a picture. =)  

Samgyupsal 250 Php 삼겹살

This is your usual pork belly or bacon just 1-2 centimeters thicker.

Beef Galbi 250 Php 목살돼지갈비

What’s meat without beef right? Beef galbi are the locally available beef tender strips.

Rice 50 Php 공기밥

The rice is a generous serving and good enough for two.

The meat cutting ceremony

Makchang Menu on the wall

One good thing in eating Korean food is you are belly full and yet you feel perfectly healthy. The perfect pairing of meat and greens

GET HIGH with SCI-FI

Fun and food, what else can you ask for? Plus, you get to watch The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring while eating. I swear, there are a lot of times that I stopped, watched and even mimic the dialogue that was on going at the moment then I realized (I’m not at home and reminded myself to stop doing dorky stuff at the presence of another human being.)  

NIMBUS 2000

Another special feature of the place is none other than the collection of action figures of old and new (soon to be a classic) movies. They also have the broom Nimbus 2000 which I can’t believe that it was 13 years ago since it was a big hit and everyone in high school knows all about it. My judgment was clouded when I saw the collection of Johnny Depp’s portrayals (even Rango was there). See? That’s my sooo in love smile... =) 

The Fan Girl... 

THE COMPASS THAT DOESN'T POINT NORTH

 OUR ORDERS:

TWO FACE DOUBLE TREAT

SEBASTIAN and THE GRINCH

THE TWO TOWERS (the background was so cute.)

 Fantastic 4 Cheese + Planet of the Shrimps + Armageddon + Supreme Man 780 Php

MY VIBES: As our usual saying goes, "Can't decide? Get them all." 

I always love the simple yet sophisticated taste of a 4 cheese pizza. In this case, the combination of the cheeses is delightful, tasteful, flavorful and wonderful. 4 Fulls for 4 cheese! 

Not much of a red and green capsicum fan so that’s why this one’s not listed as a personal fave but hey it can be listed as one of yours. It contains generous heaps of meat and loads of cheese.

  

The Two Towers 270 Php

The deep fried squid and onion rings served with lime mayo sauce is a keeper plus I have to admit the title is clever that makes it more irresistible. The golden texture of squid and onion with masses of fries.

 The Grinch 280 Php

The garlic pesto pasta with Hungarian sausage deserves a colossal smile despite the title suggests as a perfect mix of sauce and bread sticks are served.

Sebastian 280 Php

Yes. You’ve read it right, as the label hinted away it contains crab (remember Ariel’s godfather Sebastian on Little Mermaid) specifically aligue then topped with crispy fried crabsticks. What can I say? Aligue never fails. Highly and outwardly recommended.

 The Side Story...

We loved the place as much as we hated our friend who is unbelievably late for 2.5 hours. We almost watched LOTR all the way. What’s worse is we held on to the table on a crowded day. Thank you SCI-FI Café for not pressuring us about it. =)   

A Classic

Soon to be a Classic

MONSTROUS TYPHOON RESTAURANT destroys DIET

Greeted by typhoon ladies, we made our way up to their location @ 2^nd Flr.Typhoon Restaurant and Bar located at the A.Venue Events Mall, Makati Ave., Makati City.

Upon entering, the delightful aroma of their soups stirs up satisfaction and conjures comfort and nourishment in every sniff. Here, they take their soups seriously. The menus are very extensive that it varies from Asian and Western style soups.

OUR ORDERS:

SATAY Style Soup 368 Php plus Australian Beef Set 388 Php

This one was ordered by our family friend and feels like it has the healthy look with it since it was loved by a doctor. Equally distributed amount of fat on the marbled meat was served tagging along a huge pot of soup with the set orders that include one of every each vegetables, seafood balls, meat balls and sotanghon. You can describe it as all in one.

HONG KONG Style Soup 288 Php plus Australian Lamb Set 488 Php

I ordered this set and I gave it a good “ohhh” once the meat sets on the table accompanied with all the greens and everythings. It tortures me to wait for the soup to boil and add all that little colorful and deliciously looking thingy then put that bunch on the broth that leaves that craving tangy smell.

Protein Fish Soup 398 Php plus Round Top Beef Set 388 Php

Not much of a Fishitarian here but by the looks of it, quite promising and drool worthy .They had a blast in devouring the soup and all its contents. What shocks me the most is after all that eating, chomping and munching there is still more. Yes, there is still room for a take-out container.

Shrimp wanton 110 Php

My mom ordered this one as she is not in the mood of eating since its only been 2 weeks from recovery after her surgery.

MY VIBES: We will definitely go back. It saddened me that the ginseng chicken was not available at that time. I’m planning to order more but I guess gluttony does have its limit.

The Side Story...

There was a foreigner beside us (Thai woman, I think) and she just loves the spicy seasoning available on the side of the area and she was crying her eyes out by the spiciness of her own made sauce. I’m so jealous that I wanted some for myself but I’m not yet allowed to do so (damn these meds).
