Zark's Burger Review

Ok, i like burgers! I'm in search for the best burger in terms of taste and value for money. So, whenever i hear about a joint who offers great tasting burgers.. i just have to try it to believe it.

Here's one that i visited lately... Zark's Burger. It's located at Acher's Nook at La Salle, Taft.


I ordered ULTIMATE BURGER (130 pesos) and my friend ordered BLACK MAMBA (125 pesos), we requested to have it cut in halves so that we can get to taste each others burgers.. hehe! Just add 20 pesos to add fries and iced tea/lemonade to your meal.. now that's cheap for an upgrade.

For the look:
Here are some of the pics we've taken: (old camphone, di kami prepared!)



For the taste:
They're generous with the "toppings" like mushrooms and veggies. It's quite messy to eat and the bread tends to get saggy after sometime. I had to add just a bit of salt and pepper to suit my taste. I enjoyed dipping my fries to Black Mamba's bbq sauce. I could taste that the patty is not  100% pure beef and meat easily breaks.

My verdict:
Not the best burger i've tasted but surely you'll get value for your money.

You can visit their facebook page @ Zark's Burgers for more info. they have promos and burger eating challenges!

Bulaluhan sa España

I got curious about this restaurant when i saw the preview of Ang Pinaka (GMA Newstv). They've listed the top 10 Patok na 24/7 Tsibugan, and one of them is the Bulaluhan sa Espana.  Well, i did't get to watch the episode to see it's rank from the list but since i'm just near Espana (sort of..), I just went personally to give my own rating.
Sorry I wasn't able to get any picture.. im just too hungry that time to even think about it. hehe!


It's is near LTO and Meralco. It's a Carinderia type of a place, has a parking lot. They have to types of Bulalo, regular and special. The Regular Bulalo is actually Sinigang na Pata (pork), price: 65 pesos. Their Special, is the typical nilagang baka, the part with the bone marrow, price: 115 pesos.


I ordered Special. They served it in a bowl with pechay. The serving was just right, the meat was tender and the soup was tasty. You can ask for the refill of the soup. It taste actually good. It ranked #2 on the list by the way. I can't really say that it was the best bulalo since i have nothing to compare it to.. but it's a good tasting and very satisfying bulalo.


There were other things on the menu like Papaitan (65), Kalderetang Kambing, Rice (8), live hito, etc.
The one that somewhat turned me off was the presence of flies flying around on the food serving area and some i saw landing on the food.


Overall, it is a must try Bulalo, since it also made it on the list of top 10 best bulalo of Spot.ph.. It's probably worth a try right? :)




UPDATE:
Here's the picture of the bulalo.
