Shinjuku japanese restaurant in the heart of Makati Avenue is a great japanese restaurant and is walking distance from a lot of hotels and shopping areas in Makati. They have all the best japanese dishes along with some filipino dishes as well. You are surely not going to be disappointed if you love japanese food and you’re eating at Shinjuku!

The Menu: They have tons of japansese beef steaks, miso soups, gyoza, manten ramen, yakisoba, sushi rolls, and raw sushi pieces, and many many more options.
What I Ate: I ate the california roll, it was the smaller kinds of cali roll which I like, the big ones are too difficult to eat. Also I had the gyozo, it’s 1 of their specialties and it’s delicious also!

Tender Bob’s was a great place for quality steaks and other great meat and potato entrees.

The Menu:
What I Ate: I ordered the peppercorn steak and the famous “Grandma’s meatloaf”. The pepper steak was delicioius especially as I drenched each bite into A1 sauce. The meatloaf wasn’t too great, I was hoping it was like my mothers homemade meatloaf, but it was more like slices of spam. The mashed potatos and gravy were great!
The Staff:
The Bathroom: 1 bathroom coed, clean

Extras:

Som’s Noodle House

The Menu:
What I Ate: We had the yellow curry, it was good, also some thai omelette filled with tomatoes and pork it was decent, and, last but not least, we had the famous thai soup Tom Yum Goong, it was the worst Tom Yum soup I’ve eaten in my life, and I have lived in Bangkok for 3+ years, so I think that kind of says something.
The Staff:
The Bathroom: Bathrooms are decent, but the mens bathroom water was broken when I was there

The following day, Saturday, we transferred to the Blue Rock Resort (link) and we liked this area MUCH better, the Blue Rock Hotel and Resort has great food open 24hrs/day and at night they have a live band that is very pleasant, really soothing style of band, almost like a karaoke band that is just very good, not loud. There is a floating bar, great to go during the day, you can eat, drink ice cold beers, and go jetskiing and swimming all right there at Blue Rock!

We even took a nice day trip over to White Rock Resort (link), they have 2 wave pools, and waterslides, and also on the beach, it was nice as the sun went down, the sunset picture I have there is from White Rock Resort beach area.

And if you love tacos then I suggest eating the biggest taco in the world, there at Coffee Shop Tacos (link) they have MASSIVE tacos!!!!

Some pics from our trip:

Howzat Sports Bar is a great sports bar in Makati near the nightlife mecca Burgos St., it’s walking distance. it’s a nice place with lots of tv’s with the top sports events on, great foods and lots of great beer specials, and drink specials, depending on the days and times. They are open til 2am but food orders stop at 1:30am. They have a billiards table in the back room in case you want to show off your pool shark skills. This place is a great place for your first stop on a night out, to have a few beers and dinner then hit the clubs.

The Menu: Their menu consists of the type of food you’d most likely expect at a sports bar, burger baskets, tons of great appetizers and fried foods, along with a lot of filipino dishes too
What I Ate: I had the tacos with french fries, I must say, these tacos were VERY meaty, and very delicious! I couldn’t finish all my food there was too much, yay! We had some pancit bihon too, and it was the biggest portion of pancit I’ve ever gotten, it was also very good.
The Staff: Perfect English and very friendly
