Celebrating 25 Years with Cable Car

Cable Car – a staple in the Philippines’ bar and restaurant industry since it was founded in 1992 – celebrates its landmark 25th anniversary with new branch openings, a scintillating menu revamp and bevy of other exciting plans for the near future
-------------

For the past 25 years, Cable Car has been a trusted stalwart in the Philippines' bar and restaurant industry since it swung open its doors way back in 1992 as one of the pioneer resto bars in Metro Manila. After a quarter of a century of serving millions of customers (250 – 300 per day) with sumptuous food offerings and delectable drinks, it's cemented its stellar reputation among several generations of Filipinos with its San Francisco-style pub ambience, beer pong nights and delectable bar food including famous dishes like Cable Car Rice and Sisig Rice. With its familiar, comfortable and casual vibe, Filipinos and tourists alike know to make a beeline for Cable Car – an impressive establishment that makes you feel at home from the moment you enter its doors. Over the years, it's continued to be a popular hangout spot, with most of its regulars being college students and young professionals who flock here to blow off some steam by drinking, relaxing and socializing. But Cable Car is also ideal for families searching for a place to dine out with loved ones, with a full menu of hearty and flavorful dishes – many of which have a Filipino twist – that are perfect for a casual weekday or weekend dinner. Cable Car's story has been one of remarkable growth and success, resulting in its recent foray into franchising. It's very first branch – Cable Car Makati – opened its doors in 1992, and was followed by Cable Car Tomas Morato and Cable Car BGC located at the Fort Strip. The latest Metro Manila branch is Cable Car Ortigas, and the very first Cable Car franchise – Cable Car Iloilo – opened in July 2016. Cable Car will also mark the opening of an exciting franchise in Pampanga this year, quickly followed by another in Alabang. This year, Cable Car is celebrating its 25th year of existence and has much in store to mark this huge milestone. These include a menu revamp to include more special dishes, branches opening 24 hours a day, a food delivery service and a Big Open Grounds Concert Event with a host of exciting activities this November.

With its sumptuous cuisine, refreshing tipples and top quality service, Cable Car aims to continue to provide its guests with an unparalleled and unique experience that they can only get at Cable Car – a home away from home.

Branches: Makati, BGC, Tomas Morato, Ortigas, Iloilo.

Afternoon Snack in Burgoo

We were all strolling in SM Southmall last weekend and my sister craved for some burgers. When I saw  the "Burgoo" sign, I told her, "Look, Burgoo! I have never dined there before," so she graciously welcomed the idea of us having burgers there and some snacks. I was quite excited.

Mushroom Burger in Tagaytay

Last Sunday, we went to Mendez, Cavite to visit Paradizoo with the kids. It was so hot and walking around the zoo was quite tiresome so when we were finished with the zoo trip, we went straight to Mushroom Burger after hearing all the good reviews about it so we gave it a try.

I would like to apologize beforehand for most of the pictures without prices because my basis for the prices is supposed to be our receipt, but my husband told me that when he claimed our food (since it was a self-service restaurant), the cashier took the receipt with the designated number written on it so I was a bit shocked and a little irritated. I wanted to ask them to have our receipt back, but the line was soooo long and we were sooo hungry at that time so I didn't have enough energy to complain.

Looks more like a cafeteria inside

Unli Gravy!

Spaghetti that my son didn't eat because he didn't like the smell of the sauce. He must have thought that this was the same as Jollibee's spaghetti so he just ate the noodles without the sauce. :P

Burger steak meal with mushrooms.
This is what my sister-in-law ordered. I didn't hear any complain from her after eating this so it's either good or just so-so.

 Blueberry flavored pancakes (P99 with drink)!
I was able to finish all 3!They're quite soft and yummy. Nothing to complain about.

Regular burger with cheese (P86 w/ fries and drink)

If I were to rank this, this would be my second favorite burger next to Jollibee Yum with cheese. I liked the pink sauce that they used in it which probably was just mayonnaise and ketchup. But still, I liked everything about it - the patty, the cheese, the cucumber inside and the soft buns. 

Note: Contrary to common belief, the patty was actually made of beef, not mushrooms. They do have a burger made of mushrooms, but we weren't able to order one.

Mushroom Burger's Tornado (P35)
This is probably one of the best soft served ice cream I've tasted and the most reasonably priced considering the generous size of it and the richness of the berries inside. The flavor of the berries overpowers the sweetness of the ice cream and I liked it.

They have only one size for the drinks and they're actually big in size. Definitely good value for your money

I actually enjoyed dining here because I liked the food, the simplicity of the place that gives you the "I can eat however I want" kind of feeling, and most especially the reasonable prices! There were 5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids) dining here and the bill didn't reach Php1,000.

When we go to Tagaytay once again, we'd probably return here especially if we're tight on the budget. I'll probably try their chicken meals next and the real mushroom burger. You can't miss this place when you go to Tagaytay because it's situated along the main highway very near Taal Vista Hotel.

Two thumbs up!

Fat Melts Diner

I invited my family to try the newest restaurant in Pergola Mall, BF Homes called Fat Melts Diner. The restaurant actually looked like one of my restos in the Restaurant City or in Diner Dash game so I actually thought it was cute. It's small, cozy, and the place really looked inviting so we decided to try it out during their soft opening.
