Campfire Burgers & More in Marikina City: A Flavorful Feast 🍝🍧🧅

Campfire Burgers & More in Marikina City: A Flavorful Feast 🍝🍧🧅 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Campfire Burgers & More in Marikina City, and it was an experience to remember!

The Alfredo pasta was a creamy delight, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce that clung to every strand of pasta.

The creamy tomato pasta was equally impressive, offering a rich and tangy flavor that balanced beautifully with the herbs and spices.

The onion rings were crispy and golden, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. They were well-seasoned and not overly greasy, making them the perfect appetizer to start the meal.

But the true highlight of my visit was the fried wicked Oreos with vanilla ice cream on top. The contrast of the warm, crispy coating and the cool, creamy ice cream was heavenly. However, be warned, the Oreos are quite sweet, so they may not be for everyone.

Overall, Campfire Burgers & More delivered an excellent dining experience with its diverse menu and delightful flavors. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making it a place worth visiting again. If you're in Marikina City and looking for a satisfying meal, this place is definitely worth a try!

Gilligan's Ayala Malls Marikina Review 😋🍗

Gilligan's Ayala Malls Marikina Review 😋🍗 A delightful spot to satiate your cravings! 🍽️ I had the pleasure of savoring their Chicken BBQ with rice, Sizzling Tofu, and Veggie Kare-Kare Bowl. Let me tell you, the flavors were top-notch!

The Chicken BBQ was perfectly grilled, juicy, and had a deliciously smoky flavor that paired wonderfully with the steaming hot rice.

The Veggie Kare-Kare Bowl was a delightful mix of fresh vegetables in a rich and creamy peanut sauce, a comforting dish that left me thoroughly satisfied.

However, the Sizzling Tofu can improve. While the seasoning was spot on, I found myself wishing the tofu was a tad softer to enhance the overall texture.

In summary, my dining experience at Gilligan's was enjoyable, with most dishes hitting the mark. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit. 😄

Have you tried this place? Share your thoughts and let me know if there's something else I should try next time!

Qizia Cafe in Marikina!: Budget-Friendly Delight

Qizia Cafe in Concepcion Dos is a gem for budget-friendly meals with a touch of flair. Their beef tapa breakfast meal is an absolute delight, perfectly seasoned and tender, making it a standout dish.

The seafood pasta marinara, while decent, doesn't quite hit the mark for me, but it’s still a fair choice.

Unfortunately, the Qizias pizza special didn’t impress me; the chopped bacon or ham with fats didn’t add to its appeal.

The price point at Qizia Cafe is wallet-friendly, making it a great spot for casual dining. Weekday visits offer quick service, but be prepared for longer waits on weekends due to limited seating capacity. Overall, Qizia Cafe provides a mix of hits and misses, but it's worth a try, especially for the beef tapa.

Feel free to let me know how your experience goes! 🍽️ #QiziaCafe #BeefTapa #FoodReview #BudgetFriendly #MarikinaEats #FoodieFinds #RestaurantReview
