Open Rice PH: 3 Reasons Why I Love to Come Back to Garage88 Katipunan

Hello fellas, how's your first week of your 2016? I hope you are having a great experience. Happy first month for this year!

My first week of January 2016 was great. I received my second invite for Open Rice Philippines' Eat's A Date at Garage 88 Burgers and Beers Katipunan branch. After the Full Belly Craft Kitchen, the next day, we headed to Garage 88. Since these restos are in Quezon City, I confirmed my attendance and it's very nice  to see and meet again my fellow bloggers there!

On this event I planned to leave my son at home again because I was thinking that if he's with me, there's a tendency that I will distracted and unfocused to this resto review. But unfortunately my mother and father has a schedule of their home service at the same time so it's complicated for me and I have no choice but to bring my son. But it's okay I'm happy and more comfortable because my son and I will experience  and explore again and it's bonding time.

So going there with my friend and a mommy blogger, no other than Nilyn of Above Precious Rubies, with our Kiddos. Every time we have this event we're both so excited. We always talk about it and always love it.

THE GARAGE88
The first Garage 88 Burgers Beers branch opened in November 2010 at 32nd Street,Bonifacio Global City,Taguig. The concept was simplt to creat cozy place that is well suited to have great conversations, serve good food and offer a variety of alcoholic and-alcoholic drinks. After a few years of market experimentation, line-tuning, product development and loads of hard work, they have what you see today.

My personal experienced with Garage88

Arrived there with our kiddos and I'm still curious why its called Garage I was excited about the theme and concept.  After this great experience for this resto I would love to come back with my husband. This coming April to May my husband will come home together with his sister and her family for a staycation here in Manila so I was planning to bring them there.

So why I would love to come back in Garage 88?

1. Because of the Ambiance and Place
I love the Ambiance of this place, it is connected to the name Garage, the Ambiance is rugged but homey, the space, ang lawak and cool, My Zd bear kept walking and enjoying their table settings. Di nakakaboring since they have a Cable and music backgrounds. And also I love the settings.

My ZD bear loves that area

2. Because it's a good and friendly resto suited for family bonding and barkada's hang-out
If you want "lamon" with your barkada or family bonding ang pag uusapan, I recommend this resto also kasi they are friendly, approachable, they will treat you well. I can feel the connection between the staff to the costumers. I wont forget how they treated our kids with free ice cream and our kids were really enjoying it. And every time na nahuhulog ang spoon dahil sa kalikutan ni ZD di sila nagsasawang palitan ng bagong spoon minsan nahihiya ako pero mawawala ang hiya mo sa kanila kasi sila ang unang aaproach sayo.

3. Because of their Giant BURGER and other food offers
The house special worthy of note is the 12 Wheeler Burger, a humongous 12 inch monster of a burger with just about everything in it. Big enough to satisfy even the largest appetite, or to share between a party or group of friends. Any burger lover will have a blast trying this out. A challenge also awaits to those who are brave enough to eat the 12 Wheeler. If you finish eating it by yourself within 1 hour, you can get it for FREE!!! (at Php 988, the effort is well worth spent).

Honestly this is my first time to meet the giant Burger like this
12 Wheeler Burger

Look at that size!

my slice of 12 Wheeler Burger

Chicken Caesar Salad (228.00)
This is made of salad leaves tossed in Caesar dressing and topped with croutons, bacon strips parmesan cheese and grilled chicken beast.

-I always love salads because its not just a yummy but most specially, healthy. I love everything about this salad.

Tri-cycle (388.00)
These is Three-beer-match-in-one. Macho + Buffalo Chicken Tenders + Tex-Mex Rolls.
-What I love about this, is the Tender+Tex-Mex Rolls. Tastes so good and I love the sauce of it. It tastes so cheesy

PULLED PORK CARBONARA (248)
A Garage 88 Original creation!

-This Carbonara has something that brings intense flavor, it's so creamy and yummy! I love the pasta, my ZD bear also love this.

BONE MARROW SOUP (128.00)
Bulalo minus all the nonsense.

-I love the taste of this soup, and when I tasted this one, suddenly I wanted rice hahaha! 

STEAK AU POIVRE (498.00)
Grilled tenderloin steak with peppercorn sauce.

-This is my most favorite one. I love how they cook the beef its very soft, and when I tasted it I always wanted. Nilyn and I almost consumed this by ourselves! lol!.

For people who, for some reason, don’t want a burger, there’s an assortment of other foods like salad, pasta, nachos, fries and chicken tenders to keep any palate happy. For those who crave for more, have a feast of rice meals from our All-day Breakfast Menu.

And for the drinking crowd, Garage 88 is the perfect place to buy great drinks that won’t cost you everything in your wallet. So if you’re looking for a place to hangout, go to Garage88. There’s absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by visiting.


WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT GARAGE  88?

Well, I just want to say thank you for this great experience. It is very important to the resto to build a relationship to their costumers, and they should know the needs of their costumers. According to my observation this Resto meets our needs and expectations, actually, it exceeds our expectations. And after of this experience, I can tell others how great and awesome our time was at this restaurant.
