Ninja Food Reviews Wouldn't you rather get an honest review from someone who'll tell it as it is?

Aren't you sick and tired of watching food reviewers rave about a certain place only to find out for yourself that the food was staged just because they were getting reviewed?

I don't know about you, but when I discover something new -- and actually like it -- I want to tell the whole world about it and that's what I want to say about Ysabelle's Inasal. A unique take on a pretty familiar dish; Inasal.

A lot of us aren't strangers to Inasal. Back in the day, Bacolod Chicken House (now known as Inasal Chicken Bacolod) reigned supreme in Luzon while in Bacolod proper, there were a slew of chicken stops called Manukan Country. More of that on another post.

Some of you might think that just because this is owned and managed by 2010 Binibining Pilipinas Contestant Dawn Matubis, you'd think that Ysabelle's would be all beauty with no brawn. Definitely not.

Ysabelle's has some really good chicken inasal.

But the thing that sets Ysabelle's apart is the dipping sauce they decided to pair it with. I will need to confirm but I believe it's spicy bagoong or some shape or form of it instead of the traditional toya mansi. A ballsy move if you ask me but a move that has paid off. Why? Because it works.

They only offer chicken inasal and it's perfectly OK. Why go to a pizza place for their burgers, right?

The one that we would normally go for is their Family Bundle with 6 whole legs, 6 services of their garlic rice with siling labuyo on top and small containers of their bagoong scattered across the elegantly designed packaging.

The taste? I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite? But what sets them apart is that sweet and spicy bagoong that matches beautifully well with the chicken.

Pro Tip: Bite into the siling labuyo before the first bite. Thank me later.

Give them a try, they're located down south but I think they deliver, too.

Thai Mango in BF Homes serves really good Thai food. I am not a food expert to confirm that their offering is authentic but it is really good.

Honestly, I have yet to try all of their offerings but we came in for their mango sticky rice. I've tried a few MSRs in SG and it's pretty damn close.

Will definitely come back to try the rest of their offerings.

Been wanting to visit Wagyuniku By Pat and Keng ever since I saw their signage popped up in BF Homes during the pandemic. Sad that the previous tenant of the location wasn't able to open long enough or even open at all. Anyway, I was genuinely intrigued by their spread BEFORE I learned that it belonged to YouTube celebrity couple Viy Cortez and Cong TV.

I was literally on the way to the restaurant when I found out about their main owners.

But enough about the restaurant and on to their food. This is a clear example of GENUINE service. Neither the staff nor the owners knew that they were being reviewed and yet they delivered.

I loved how they were that easy to call and how quick they served their food. I wouldn't say that the food was TOP NOTCH but, man! Everything was good. For the price of ₱449 and ₱549, respectively, it was well worth it.

Definitely worth coming back to over and over again.

While driving through Dasmarinas, Cavite, we had a sudden craving for Jollibee Chickenjoy and decided to give in to the call but then we chanced upon their Ube Cheese Pie offering and it looked too good to pass up so we tried it.

To be honest, it's not bad but you couldn't differentiate the ube from the cheese flavor even after a couple of bites.

It's not bad but if you took it out of the packaging and served it to me, I'll like it but I won't be able to tell what it is.

Another brand worth checking out is Poiyo Chicken. More often than not, when we rate/review something, it is expected to be delicious because it just looks delicious. So the deal breaker would often be the price. If you are getting a bang for your hard earned buck.

I tried Aguirre Fried Chicken in the past and didn't like their offering because not only did their chicken taste ordinary, but the simple taste did not justify the hefty price for a "simple" fried chicken;
That's NOT the case for Poiyo.. What initially attracted me was their price. Almost ₱200 cheaper than Aguirre's and yet Poiyo's has rice, sauce, and extra toppings included in their whole Chicken bundle.

The taste is good, not extraordinary but I would definitely order from them again.

Additionally, Poiyo's chicken does not taste "simple" or "ordinary"; It kinda stands out.
Poiyo is now part of my go-to when it comes to comfort food.

One more thing, you know something is that good when you don't even mind having it delivered via LalaMove. They're that good. Though as of this writing, they are already listed in Grab.

Was not able to take a picture of Ramen kuroda's Aka Ramen when it was freshly served because it's THAT GOOD. In fact, this shot was taken after eating the first batch. This is the extra noods that come with it and I even had to order additional Aka soup. That's why the image is not doing them any justice but trust me, THEY'RE GOOD!

I've heard horror stories from people outside the BF Homes area who have tried Ramen Kuroda in their other branches but were not impressed. Personally, I visited their SM Bicutan branch and it's passable but nothing beats the main branch. This is our go-to spot. Dare I say, better than Ramen Yushoken because their tastes are not that overwhelming? For each their own, I guess.

Been wanting to visit Wagyuniku By Pat and Keng ever since I saw their signage pop up in BF Homes during the pandemic. Sad that the previous tenant of the location wasn't able to open long enough or even open at all. Anyway, I was genuinely intrigued by their spread BEFORE I learned that it belonged to YouTube celebrity couple Viy Cortez and Cong TV.

I was literally on the way to the restaurant when I found out about their main owners.

Now about the restaurant: I loved how they were that easy to call and how quick they served their food. I wouldn't say that the food was TOP NOTCH but, man! Everything was good. For the price of ₱449 and ₱549, respectively, it was well worth it.

We went there at 11AM on Saturday and the staff were pleasant to deal with and very courteous. Note that this is a genuine review for they weren't aware that they were being reviewed to begin with.

Definitely worth coming back to over and over again.

I rarely order stuff that I discover in social media. I get my inspiration from posts of other people raving about an item. This time, the image from their Instagram page got me intrigued. So I ordered a dozen bagels from Jabba's Hut and boy, their bagels are just like what you see in the movies. Plump and dense and their schmear matches the bagels perfectly.

Often times, when a pastry has sat too long on the table or in the refrigerator, it tends to get hard but a quick nuke at the microwave or even in a toaster oven will get them soft and toasty in a jiffy.

Check out their Instagram page . They have more than just bagels.

I feel that Ramen kuroda is underrated for many reasons. I've been a long time visitor of their BF Homes branch -- the main branch -- for as long as I can remember and they never disappoint. I've heard stories from friends saying that their McKinley Hill branch is not good and I've even visited their SM Bicutan branch (passable) but the one in BF is the best in my opinion.

One of my go-to is their Chicken Teriyaki Don (or Chicken Teridon) and it always hits the spot.

I have yet to try from their other locations to confirm but so far, for me, the main branch inside BF Homes is legit.

Ramen Yushoken is good but to a lot of people, it may be too rich for their taste so Ramen Kuroda would be good for the masses.

One brand that I wished would make a come back is Anja's Test Kitchen. A start up that sold some amazing dips and sauces. Best with EVERYTHING. I mean it.

Sadly, we were only able to try the SALSARAP and CREAMY ONION and before we were able to order more, they had to stop production for a while.

Truly underrated. Hope they can come back soon.
