Ramen Shibire




Total bill: ₱1,448.75
Cost per person: ₱724.38
What I ordered & my thoughts:
Ebi Miso Ramen (₱430, Thin Noodle, Spicy level 2): Served piping hot, with a rich, layered broth. The wonton was flavorful and the chashu tender melts in your mouth. The portion was generous, with plenty of condiments and spices to adjust the flavor. Spicy level 2 starts mild but gradually builds up, spicy and seriously satisfying 🌶️.
Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen (₱430, Spicy level 2): Another hot bowl with a rich, creamy broth and a good kick of spice.
Ooban Gyoza (₱180, 3pc): Huge and packed with meat, though I wished the skin had been crispier.
Karaage (₱290): A pleasant surprise! Thin, crispy coating with tender, juicy chicken inside, nicely balanced and very hard to stop eating.
Overall experience:
The seating faces the central cooking area, making it better suited to solo diners or small groups. Each seat even has its own phone stand.
The location is slightly away from the high street but easy enough to find. Service was warm and attentive, with staff quick to notice what we needed. There’s also a restroom and disposable bibs, so you can enjoy your ramen without worrying about making a mess.
My review:
Rich shrimp-infused broth with customizable spice levels isn’t easy to find locally. As someone who loves both rich ramen and a good kick of heat, I found it seriously satisfying.

Gatto Gelato




Total bill: ₱400 (no service charge)
Cost per person: ₱200.00
What I ordered & my thoughts:
Thai Tea (₱200, in cone): Surprisingly close to real Thai milk tea, a well-balanced mix of tea and milk, with the rich, dense gelato texture making it even more interesting. The only downside was the butterscotch hidden inside, which was a little sticky.
Mango Sticky Rice (₱200, in cone): I wasn’t sure about this flavor at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. With real mango pieces🥭mixed in, it has a refreshing summer feel.
Overall experience:
A simple and welcoming space with seats to rest and offer service water. The staff were friendly, happy to introduce new flavors, and even let us try several flavors before deciding.
₱200 initially felt a little pricey for a small cup, but the actual gelato portion was surprisingly generous, making it good value. You can choose a cup with a small cone, or go for the larger cone with gelato like I did 🍦. The only downside is that it melts a little bit fast.
Located in a small shopping area with other stores, including a Japanese supermarket, matcha drinks, and clothing shops — a nice spot to stop for gelato after walking around.
My review:
If you’re already in the area for a little shopping, it’s worth stopping by for a scoop, especially when you need a sweet little break.

Pizzeria Maestro




Total bill: ₱1,240.00 (no service charge)
Cost per person: ₱310.00
What I ordered & my thoughts:
Margherita / Mixed Veggies (₱410): The classic Margherita was spot on, simple, well-balanced, and the kind of flavor you won’t get tired of. The mixed veggies were less convincing; the corn and broccoli didn’t quite come together.
Pepperoni / Chicken Teriyaki (₱440): The Pepperoni was another classic done right, while the Chicken Teriyaki leaned a little too sweet for me.
Margherita with Cream Cheese (₱390): The cream cheese felt a little too heavy, throwing off the balance of the pizza. It might work better if you’re a big cream cheese fan.
Overall experience:
A small, slightly hidden spot on the second floor. Dine-in is available, but groups of more than six may feel a little cramped. I opted for takeaway this time, with no extra packaging fee.
The menu is thoughtfully designed, clearly divided into Red Sauce, White Sauce, and Premium options. The option to mix two flavors in one pizza is a nice touch, with the higher-priced flavor determining the price.
Pizzas are freshly made right in front of you 🍕, with a pleasantly chewy crust that stays enjoyable even after the toppings are gone. They’re definitely best eaten fresh and piping hot. Considering the price, the freshly made pizzas offer excellent value.
My review:
A little hidden gem 💎. If you’re craving a quick meal in the area, freshly made pizza like this is one of the better options around. And even when dining alone, the half-and-half option means you can enjoy two flavors without getting bored with just one.
