House of Wagyu

We were craving for steak; and someone advised us to try House of Wagyu at Podium. He told us that there are steaks at House of Wagyu worth P1000+ only. 

Unfortunately, their P1000+ steaks were not available during that time; only the expensive ones were available, worth P3000+ and above. Again, knowing us, we went for the most affordable one, which was the Tenderloin Grade 6 (good for 2).

The steak comes with the soup of the day, 2 servings. Also, they have complimentary bread + (very cute) butter--yehey for me since I love to eat bread!




Here's a photo of the restaurant's ambiance:

Soup of the Day: Tomato Soup or Pumpkin Soup, I forgot.... 

bread + (very cute) butter

 Tenderloin Grade 6

The steak was prefect (Am I in Heaven?)! You can have your steak served on a stone grill (recommended); but we opt to have it on a hot plate. 


*Notes:

1. You can ask for gravy; but they will tell you they recommend not to eat their steaks with gravy. And, they're telling the truth. We insisted for gravy (just to try it); but the steak was already perfect without the gravy! With or without gravy? I prefer WITHOUT.

2. Look into their menu before going to their restaurant. You really have to be prepared with your budget, and I'm not exaggerating.

3. It's good to have your steaks serve on a stone grill (or at least let your steak sit on a stone grill before biting into it) to keep it warm.
4. If you're already in tight budget, don't order drinks (just ask for their house water).

Feeling the Heat

These photos were taken during my second visit at Heat, January 2012, lunch.

*Our first visit at Heat was dinner so pictures were not that bright (I don't have dslr to take nice photos).

first plateS : ceasar salad, tacos; seafood spinach soup; salmon; california maki

Taco was good, as well as the seafood spinach soup (though I think they still need to heat that again).

second plateS : white sauce pasta (more like a carbonara?); tempura, broccoli, beef; hakaw

White sauce pasta was great! I tried the red sauce during my first visit at Heat, and the white sauce is way much better than the red one. 

third plateS : crab with butter and garlic sauce; fried rice (more like a yang chow); steak; tempura

Crab with butter and garlic sauce was okay. I like the sauce; you can really taste the butter and garlic. But, I think my crab was not able to absorb the sauce.

dessertS : choco mousse; ice cream; mango something; buko pandan; strawberry cheesecake; mango crepe

*Notes:

1. You can have your own ice cream mix (whatever toppings you like, fruits/choco chips, etc)

2. They have a lot of cheesecakes (not okay for me since I don't eat cheesecakes)

3. They also have shabu-shabu station, as well as halo-halo station

4. Oh, they have duck; we ate duck but wasn't able to take picture of it.

5. Please don't order drinks, unless you really have a big budget for the day.

Eat like a Viking

These photos were taken August 2011, as I celebrate my 20th birthday. 

Don't expect a post of recent photos since I'm just starting to blog. My first few posts will be my past FOOD-graphy (food photography)...

first plateS : siomai, hakaw, siopao, sharksfin; ceasar salad

*If you love hakaw like I do, get as much as you can because after *nth* refills, they will not put hakaw anymore. I forgot what dimsum they replaced after hakaw.

second plateS : paella, beef, seaweed, squid, katsudon, lengua; baked oyster

third plateS : birthday noodles (I'm celebrating my 20th birthday, right?), chicken & beef, sausage; california maki, salmon

fourth plateS : steak, lamb, carbonara; tempura, steak; mango wrap, crabstick, salmon; i forgot what pizzas these are

desserts: strawberry and mango mousse; rocky road brownie, mango cake, big scoop ice cream

*Notes:

1. They have a lot of desserts (good for me because I love sweets). 

2. They have yogurt; sadly it was not yet open when we ate there. 

3. You can make your own halo-halo, in any way you like it.

4. They have shabu-shabu station.

5. Ducks are also available, SOMETIMES. Unfortunately, there was no duck during our visit. Maybe, ducks are available during dinner time.

6. They have unlimited drinks (juice, soda, coffee, beer---yes, unlimited beer, cheers to the light drinkers out there). 

7. To know more about them, go here

*Tip: do not drink too much; drinks are there to fill your stomach... :)

BTW, Vikings will have its second branch at SM North Edsa, the Block. I'm so excited for this since I just live near the area!!!
