There’s a New Treat in Bonchon that you can add to your K-Style Living. I confess, I’m one of those who embraced Korean Culture Invasion here in Philippines. And absolutely One of the lifestyle I love about them is their FOOD.
Just a little background. I first tasted the Korean type of food before when I’m still working in a Korean Beauty Clinic wayback in 2012. My Korean Boss invited us, his employees over dinner to his home and had served the dish named (Samgyeopsal). We were grilling this tiny slice meat , in a grilling machine that is set up in the middle of the table upon eating. Then, roll it in lettuce after adding condiments like garlic, kimchi and sesame oil. From that moment, I’m madly in love with the Korean cuisine the way to prepare, ingredients and their style how they cook their food. I even make myself at home and influenced my Family and got positive reactions to it. I’m glad they’ve enjoyed it too.
Flavored K-Fries (KimCheese & Seoul Barbecue)Large P67 with Chicken Poppers in Large P120
Good for sharing cause Eating is better when in being shared. Of course with the Mayo dip, I love Mayo.
Their Fries is thin and long remind me of potato fries in Shakeys except this is a little bit with a longer cut. Its crispy and tasty seasoned and coated well with their flavorings. If your looking for spicy go for Kimcheese and if on a smoky side opt for Barbecue, but its better if you have them both..;). We partnered it that time with Chicken Poppers in Soy Garlic and It’s been a Pika-Pika Tongue Feast!
Bingsu:Korean SNOW Ice Dessert
Bingsu is in their Menu for a quite while now. We never let pass to have a taste on this treat. I’m just dissapointed because their Matcha flavor is not available that time and so I fell on choosing Mango cheesecake bingsu.
This is really good for sharing also but I just wish it includes a real mango chunks like one that I’ve tasted in BGC Cafe Seolhwa but nonetheless this is also yummy and in fair price. It has ultra fine milky shaved ice that is a typical of snow bingsu,top with vanilla ice cream and sprinkled nuts, surrounded with cube bits of cheesecake, mango jam,and crushed biscuits crust . This is a good dessert after a savory heavy meal.

More and more eat place started to appeared like mushrooms everywhere. It can be denied that Technology and Social Medias had an influenced to Food trend so much in terms of promoting and making this small local businesses to be known by many. It seems that the Province of Rizal particularly the town of Angono which I grew up followed also to this current flow. Theres an increase rise of the restos/food ventures to explore in. And this innovation really reminds me of Maginhawa Streets in QC. Even like a Simple Home transform into New Place Food Hubs that is commonly popular among students/millenials who want to chill and hangout.
So I came to know this resto by searching places to eat around Rizal through FB.So I invited my fam to set time to try it out!

Mocha
All Their frappes worth P125. Overall taste? It’s plain simple to me.Not my favorite but its not that bad.They’re lacking in full bodied flavor, volume & creaminess.I’ve tasted other Frappes better than these thats why I had set a high standards when it comes to giving judgement on this particular fav food items of mine!

🌼Review:
I give in to try this product a month ago because of its hype. First, Im fascinated with a packaging like this thats made of glass dropper bottle,Super chic! I can dispensed and control a small amount of product by using the dropper. A little goes a long way because of it has a watery consistency,no tacky feeling and easily gets dry. It has powdery scent which I also like. I even stashed it inside the fridge for cooling effect during application. With almost a month of using it I can say that it somehow lightens my pimple marks and even calm my breakouts. This is good for starters in serums, it so cheap.What I just dont like is it contains denatured alcohol which is a no-no for our skin. Anyway a nice experience with this product but with a lots of serum√ products out there,I want to explore more and try other brands next time without worrying the harm of alcohol.
