This is the Crazy Burger

I first discovered this treasure when Citizen Pub had a booth at the SuperSale Bazaar where I sold my Aromacology products. It was love at first bite! Ever since then, I would drag my friends to Citizen Pub to see if they’ll like it too and they do. The Crazy Burger (P180+) doesn’t come with fries but it’s good enough for 2 people. I’m an exception because I have big appetite and I can eat 1.5 Crazy Burgers.

The Crazy Burger is an inch-thick all-beef deep-fried patty with veggies and has a wasabi mayo with crab meat dressing. WASABI MAYO! CRAB MEAT! Need I say more?

My family and I went to Tagaytay to do some errands and for lunch, I was able to convince them to eat at Fire Lake Grill. I made a review of the restaurant last December and I raved about their steak. Of course, I got the Angus Ribeye and although it was still good, I prefer the steak I ate during my last visit. The mashed potatoes also lacked taste for. I think my taste buds have changed. Anyway, I finished the steak and my family liked it too.

While I was smoking outside, I was surprised that Chef Paul Huang approached me and thanked me for the review I wrote. He was wondering how to contact me (I have a contact page here LOL) so he could thank me. I was delighted to know that people read my food review blog and more delighted that Chef Paul read my review. He asked me how I found today’s steak and I told him my thoughts honestly. He wasn’t offended and he graciously accepted it, saying that he’ll keep what I said in mind.

Craving Cebu Lechon

I’m seriously craving for lechon from Cebu because a certain someone sent me a text to gloat about the food there. Can you believe that I only discovered how great their version of lechon is 2 years ago? Before that time, I only thought Cebu is famous for danggit. If you haven’t tasted Cebu lechon, [...]

I’m seriously craving for lechon from Cebu because a certain someone sent me a text to gloat about the food there. Can you believe that I only discovered how great their version of lechon is 2 years ago? Before that time, I only thought Cebu is famous for danggit. If you haven’t tasted Cebu lechon, you are missing half of your life. Seriously!

What’s the big deal about this lechon, you ask. Well, the lechon mom brings home from her Cebu travels does not come with sauce. It doesn’t need a sauce because the flesh is already very tasty. She buys it an hour before her flight back to Manila so add the travel time plus Manila’s traffic, the skin isn’t crispy anymore when mom-bearing-yummy-lechon reaches our house. In spite of that, the skin is still edible. In fact, it tastes good and is not makunat unlike Manila lechon. Another thing, with Manila lechon I only like the skin. I have to drown the flesh in sauce before I eat it. With the Cebu version, the flesh is as good as the skin. Maybe even better and no, I’m not kidding.

I have no plans of going to Cebu any time in the near and not-so-near future. I do love food tours but I want to stick to drivable food tours mmmkay. Going to Cebu just to eat lechon is just insane and a waste of good money. The wonder that is the interwebs has revealed the next best thing – lechon cooked the Cebu way here in Manila! Huzzah!!!

Food Bloggers’ recommendations:

I’m planning to order for our family’s Christmas dinner because last year was a disaster (and deserves a separate post). I might go for Sabroso but if you have recommendations, tell me so!
