Joyfully Yours

Begin your food journey with familiar flavors that are sure to bring many memories. Like these difficult to find goodies while you look at the buffet spread.

Chef Sau del Rosario, not only a renowned chef but also is like a kitchen magician, creating innovative dishes rooted in Filipino food culture.

Maya Maya Mayonesa, a delicate classic favorite made from snapper with aioli, capers, black olives, eggs and spices.


A must-try is the Crispy Pork Kare-Kare Macadamia which is Chef Sau's signature dish cooked with macadamia nuts and truffle oil.

The Sisig Paella is his trophy dish featured at his recent Napa stint that became a blockbuster to many foreigners.

And of course, skip the diet for a day and get yourself some Lechon, an attention-drawer and crowd-pleaser in any celebration. Look at these Three Types of Lechon that represent the flavors of different island groups of the Philippines namely, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Luzon Buru

Visayas Chili Mango

Mindanao Malagos Chevre and Cocoa

Since Chef Sau is from Pampanga, he also brings into Corniche his take on Tamales Pampanguena.

Other crazy innovations which I've never thought possible but are super tasty which must be tried are the Sinigang Flan and Duck Adobo with Garlic Confits.


Young, award-winning Chef Miko Aspiras conquers the dessert buffet spread to a new level of experience. Very Filipino delicacies are transformed into glossy toys that will make you want them all as it brings you to childhood going into a toy store!

Strike your fancy with Cherry, it's my favorite from the spread! It is created from layers of fluffy chocolate sponge, cherry mousse and cherry chantilly like an evil Black Forest whispering you to eat more and more! Yes, I love it that much! <3 p="">
Luscious yet citrusy Mandarin Cheesecake in Graham crust base garnished with fresh orange segments is a treat you would like to try and explore.

When I was still pregnant with TLD (The Lil Dumpling), I remember having the craziest midnight cravings. I was requesting my husband to bring me to Chili's for an Oldtimer Burger at 12midnight!

Look at that thick patty with cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and mustard. Won't that make you crave?

It was so funny for me to remember clearly that Chili's Tomas Morato closes at 2am on that particular day and he couldn't do anything but to drive me there to have my burger fix. That is why when I first saw the Facebook post on Chili's Philippines Page that their burger day was coming, I was so excited!


Mark your calendar for the most exciting burger day of the year!
The Chili's Burger Day 2018 on April 11, 2018 which is available on all Chili's Philippines branches namely Tomas Morato, Greenbelt 5, Greenhills, Rockwell, Alabang Town Center, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, UP Town Center and Robinsons Galeria.

On its 11th year, it's bigger and better with not only 1 burger but all 3 of your favorite Craft Burgers are marked down to P200!

What are these savory burgers crafted to perfection by Chili's chefs that are included in the P200 deal?

1.) Southern Smokehouse Burger
I think this is the biggest among the 3 Craft Burgers in terms of size!
With all your favorite toppings in a burger - Cheddar cheese, bacon, crispy onion rings and Chili's signature sauce served with a side of Chili's classic BBQ sauce.

There's actually 2 onion rings. The other own has fallen behind the burger and I just let it be. :)

2.) Classic Bacon Burger
Burger lovers will be delighted upon seeing the generous long large strips of bacon on top of their burger whose crispiness is absolutely perfect with red onion, aged cheddar cheese and Chili's signature sauce.

Look at those bacon waving at ya!

3.) Oldtimer
It's the classic burger that I love the most! It's a no nonsense burger that's direct to the point with hand seasoned thick beef patty seared the way you like it - Medium, Medium Well or Well Done. Served with red onion and mustard. You can request to add cheese and add chili if you like. Plus, on Chili's Burger Day, it's inclusive in the P200 you pay for!

By the way, the P200 also includes a serving of Pepsi and yes, the fries too! Isn't that wonderful?😍

For those who want a little extra, here are some of my other favorites in Chili's which you can order after that burger feast! 😁

Top Shelf Strawberry Flavored Margarita

Loaded Boneless Wings - mozzarella & cheddar cheese with bacon and spring onions on boneless chicken wings.

Molten Lava Cake - warm chocolate lava cake topped with vanilla ice cream and thick chocolate crust.

It's a battle between me and how many bowls of Yang Chow Fried Rice can I eat at Super Bowl of China. Since it's available during weekday work day, I brought my colleagues to Super Bowl of China SM Megamall Branch which is located at the 4/F of The Atrium to accept the challenge and battle with the Yang Chow!

Before the battle started, we had some soup to warm up our tummies for the feast it's about to receive. We got all 3 soups which Super Bowl of China had and asked the server to split them into 2. This is to ensure that we don't get too full.😜

Minced Beef Westlake Soup

Sweet Corn and Chicken Soup

Hot and Sour Soup

Upon seeing other tables with their Dimsum Combination Platter, it was very tempting to order so...TADA!!!

Dimsum Combination Platter (L-R) Deep fried wonton, hakaw, pork asado siopao, siomai and spring rolls.

My first bowl of Yang Chow with Minced Beef Westlake Soup (half serving) and Dimsum Combination Platter!

Say YES to P70 worth of unlimited bowls of delicious, fragrant fried rice with egg, carrots, chives, ham and shrimps?✋

Just when we thought we'll just have all we can eat Unli Yang Chow, a little bit of soup and dimsum as appetizer, we got a little bit too carried away by all the dishes we saw from the menu and neighbor tables. Since we were a group, we ordered more!😁

BBQ Pork Asado It's sweet, juicy, soft and flavorful!

Braised Beef with Kailan The beef was so good and tender. The kailan veggies are a healthy addition to make us feel less guilty from feasting.

This is the real deal! We got the Lechon Macau and Stir Fried Baguio Beans with Minced Pork too.

The team! There's a reason why we're working for Digital Hog. 😉

The Unli Yang Chow promo is valid from Mondays to Fridays during lunch time (11am - 2pm) and dinner time (6pm - 8pm) until March 30, 2018 only. For those who are looking forward to visit there before the promo runs out, below is their Holy Week schedule.

With more than 2,000 locations in 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and 15 countries all over the world, Applebee's is one of the world's largest casual dining restaurant. In the Philippines, Applebee's can be found in Bonifacio Global City and Eastwood City.

According to Chef Aldrin Ortile, the new dishes for Applebee's Philippines are a combination of Applebee's USA recipes and original creations which they have developed locally.

The new appetizers are good with Engkanto Beer which is a new partner of Applebee's Philippines. Delight in pairing the beer with Fried Sweet and Spicy Pickles, Bacon Jalapeño Potato Croquettes and Calamari.

Fried Sweet and Spicy Pickles

Bacon Jalapeño Croquettes It's crispy outside but soft warm and juicy inside. The taste of bacon is absorbed by the potato which makes it very aromatic. There's a hint of jalapeño sourness but doesn't give much heat.

Calamari These yummy rings are placed on a bed of crispy fried shredded wanton wrappers. The breading of the calamari is very tasty as the breading is equally divided on all sides. The wanton wrappers gives an extra crispness to the dish when you eat them together. My 2-year-old daughter loves this dish and kept eating it without the dip because it's that flavorful!

The Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad with fresh greens, cucumbers, feta cheese, toasted almonds, spicy grilled shrimp and grilled watermelon cubes in a creamy mint yoghurt dressing is not only a colorful and unique concept but reminds one of the upcoming holidays with green and red as its primary color palette. Somehow, it tells me to remember to eat healthy (the greens) before I gain any holiday weight soon. ;P

Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad

For those who have been reading my posts would know that salmon is my favorite fish. Not only because of its uniquely pink color but its naturally sweet flavor is enough to get me hooked. Thus, the new Teriyaki Balsamic Glazed Salmon was an exciting entree to try.

Teriyaki Balsamic Glazed Salmon The salmon is just seasoned right, soft and flaky. The green beans despite being fried are moist and retains their original texture. The rice that comes together with it is a bit on the sweeter side with notes of tomatoes and there's also bits of corn in it.

The beautiful Triple Meat All-in Burger which has USDA beef burger patty, double smoked bacon, shredded beef brisket, cheddar cheese and honey BBQ sauce in a brioche bun seems to be a crowd favorite during the launch. The rich flavor of all the meat put together will magnetize you to bite into it more and more until you finish the burger and feel that you'd like more.

Triple Meat All-in Burger

For the original Philippine creations, I absolutely love the Pork Liempo Adobo which has soft melt in your mouth sweet, salty and tangy pork belly grilled to perfection topped with crispy fried onions and with a side of warm rice. The wonderful, wonderful piece of meat works so well with the onions and rice that a whole plate is never enough.

Pork Liempo Adobo

The Fiesta BBQ Pork Liempo is on the sweeter side with its marinade of Asian BBQ sauce. The tortilla strips underneath makes the plate looks festive as Applebee's recommends its guests to #celebrateeverything because milestones are really meant to be celebrated and shared with loved ones.

Finding that perfect blend of sweet and spicy, this dish is for you! The Firecracker Shrimp which is Cavatappi pasta covered with a rich Sriracha Parmesan Cream Sauce with breaded shrimp and vegetable relish. This is my favorite from all the newly launched dishes which I've tried so try this too, ok? :D

Firecracker Shrimp

Banoffee lovers unite! Applebee's now offers Banoffee Cheesecake which is composed of toffee cheesecake on a coffee graham cracker crust drizzles with dulce de leche, hot fudge sauces and topped with banana chips.

Banoffee Cheesecake

Another dessert to look forward to is their Smores Creme Brulee with is so heavenly! Imagine the sugar glazed chocolate flan (creme brulee) topped with banoffee crumble and toasted marshmallows that complements each other in every scoop. It's so good that I wanted to lick my bowl after eating it but was too shy to do it. :D

Smores Creme Brulee

Happiness is being able to eat good food, agree? If you do, go ahead and enjoy the new offerings of Applebee's! Below are other dishes which I wasn't able to try because I was too full but looks so good to eat. ;)

BBQ Beef Brisket Tacos

Spinach Artichoke and Grill Chicken Cavatappi
