Burger Project
I have given birth last Saturday (March 17, 2012) to a BURGER and its name is IWANTTOBEANINTERN!
Went to Maginhawa Street to eat @TheBurgerProject + Churros at the neighboring cafe!

My experience at The Burger Project:
I had no idea how to order at first but then they gave us this cute little clip board and a bucket(?) of pens to use on the "questionnaire"/"checklist" of what we wanted on our burger. It was cute how we get to name the burger and make it totally our own. But if that's not your thing you could just order off the designer burgers which also sounds yummy.
Pictured above is my blockmates order: Western Burger. It has sauteed mushrooms, onion rings and a whole lot of other good stuff.
I wasn't able to take a picture of my burger as it was a spur of the moment decision to come so I didn't have my camera with me.
But here's what goes into the IWANTTOBEANINTERN burger:
angus beef buger patty, sesame seed bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, bacon, mozarella, special BRGR sauce, caramelized onions.
Also ordered Iced tea which was Yum too!
The burger is GREAT. The patty was juicy, cooked just right, the meat was tender as well.
Worth traveling all the way to Maginhawa Street!

BRGR: The Burger Project, which recently opened on Maginhawa Street, Quezon City, is all about the perfect burger, just the way you like it. With fourteen toppings and sauces and four kinds of cheeses, plus an option to go healthy with their tofu burger patties, it's difficult not to have the perfect burger meal at this spot. With over 50,000 possible combinations, choose from Bleu, Mozzarella, Gruyere, or Cheddar cheese and pile on toppings such as bacon, chili con carne, pepperoni, guacamole, sun dried tomatoes, kimchi, pineapple slices, and mango salsa. Then, top your burger with your choice of wasabi mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, teriyaki, pesto, buffalo wings sauce, or the Special BRGR sauce.

WitTEA
I cannot think of a witty title hence the title. Besides I think milk tea can make you witty! So drink your milk tea kids!
This is a post about: TEA
First off: Serenitea
The tea place that started it all. I tried it first at RP Manila, and being used to cheaper milk teas. I've only ever tried Simple Line which is priced at the 45-55 range, Happy Fanshu, and Chatime which I tried in HK so I didn't know the price. Anyhooo, it was more expensive than the usual so I expected more. This was where my love affair with wintermelon tea started so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Their Okinawa milk tea is yum, as well as the wintermelon milk tea. Service was good, the people at the counter are nice and helpful they don't pressure you. The queue was long and there are lots of people but its good that they have seats. They have service water for when you get umay with the sweetness. They serve snacks too! I heard that the chicken chops (?) was good. Will try them the next time 'round. The Serenitea branches that I know of are in Greenhills, RP Manila.
Chatime
As I've said earlier I first tried Chatime at HK, and to be honest it didn't blow me away. I tried it once again in Gateway. I ordered the chocolate mousse which was nice but not exactly memorable. Chatime has a wide variety of drinks though which I am excited to try in the future. The wait was long, but was made bearable by watching the people there make the tea. I also loved the thing they give you to inform you if your order was up.
Gong Cha
Ahh, Gong Cha, why do you make me love you so much? I LOVE Gong Cha, and was thrilled when I learned that they opened in RP Manila ( I used to go to MOA to buy). Their Gong Cha Milk Wintermelon Tea is LOVE. I love the milk on top I sip it first before mixing it into the wintermelon tea which is just the right amount of sweetness.
Happy Lemon
I was excited to try because of the hype surrounding it so when we went to GH I made it a point that we try. Love the Choco Mousse. The fruit drinks are unique but I would stick to the teas. In the future I wanna try their Oreo Milk Tea which comes highly recommended by friends.

Ice Cream @ Swensen's
Me and my housemates went to eat at Swensen's a while back (sometime before the semestral break), it was convenient to go there at the time since we had to go to DFA because one of my housemates had to process her passport for an upcoming trip.
The Ultimate Sundae Experience
This review is long overdue so here goes:
The place is spacious, and kind of reminds me of an American diner with booths set up. There is a display of the variety of Ice Cream they offer, available in scoops or you can sit down and order off their menu, which is what we did.
My friend originally wanted to order the "Chocolate Earthquake" which looks like it might be nakakaumay but was discouraged when the waiter said "Good for two po yan ma'am" and "Sure po kayo? Malaki po yan" and in the end we ended up ordering the fondue thingy (forgot the name since it was soooo long ago) to share.

The fondue was "meh" for first timers I'd rather recommend ordering one of their sundaes, the first time I ate at Swensen's I ate the Nutty Crispy Tower which left a more favorable impression. The chocolate was easily hardened and was not impressive. The fruits were not that great and the brownie was a bit to crumbly for my taste. The heart shaped chocolates was a nice touch though.
After being unsatisfied with the fondue, we went for a second round and ordered this:

Second Round!
You can customize your Ice Cream and choose from the selection. I personally like Macadamia and Wild at Heart!
