On the verge of scheduling posts, I checked my drafts to see why I have 31
pending posts. Yes, 31. I don't know, it just piles up and piles up. Can
you say beauty blogger problems?
If you've been visiting this blog for a couple of months now or even years,
you'd know it's second nature that I post about food as well. I can't
exact;y call myself a food blogger as I can't concretely and concisely
describe the taste of food but I do like to take photos of food an dine at
a new restaurant on a regular basis. Usually on weekends.It's probably
gluttony but hey, I do like to try new restos even the hole-in-the-wall
ones.
We all know Chef Lau because he's Chef Lau. Although honestly, I only
found out about him during the Master Chef show in Manila.
KrisTV featured one of Chef Lau's new restaurants (well, it was new last
year) named Guevarra's. I don't remember why it's called Guevarra's. Hmm,
maybe because it's near or along P. Guevarra? Beats me.
My mom reserved tables the same day she saw the resto on TV. She was
surprised to find out that the restaurant was fully booked for the next two
weeks. It's the kind of restaurant where you can't really walk in. You
have to make reservations way, way ahead. So, my mom made a reservation
just in time when my aunts from the US were here as they sure love Filipino
food.
So, what's exactly in Guevarra's?
Guevarra's is a Filipino buffet restaurant unlike any other. What sets
them apart from the rest of the buffet restaurants is the fact that they do
not have the same menu everyday/weekly. It varies a lot so even if you
dine here today and come back tomorrow, you'd still enjoy the food! Also,
most of the Filipino food has a twist! Think of it as a fuzion buffet
restaurant focused on Filipino cuisine.
Balanban - this was my favorite! My aunt was craving for lechon and we all
thought that what was in the carving station was lechon. When my aunt
asked the waiter, he said it's Balanban, the belly part of the pig. That
is why it's sinfully yummy!
Most of the food is Filipino cuisine but they also serve pasta and pizza.
Ooh, they have homemade dirty ice cream, too! The food was good although
nothing really stood out for me except for Balanban and what seemed like
Chorizo Pasta.
We went last year around July or August during lunch time. I can't exactly
remember. Even on lunch time, it was full!
If I'm not mistaken, they charge PhP399 per person. I'm not sure if the
rave has died down and if you can already walk-in and be able to get a
table. I haven't been back ever since. If you're trying Guevarra's for
the time, yes, it's worth the one-week wait because all the food they serve
is good! But if it's your 2nd or 3rd time around and you just want to have
buffet, then you can re-think and check other options if you don't like the
waiting time.
Follow me! Yes? No? Yey!
The food looks delicious! I've been nagging my coworkers to eat there. :D
