We went here with our client from Australia for our lunch out. I really love Filipino restos and it feels like their specialties and delicacies have a special place in my heart. What I loved about their menu (and I could still recall the taste while typing this review) is their calamari (very soft and crispy) and crispy pata (tender and crunchy). The grilled bangus is seasoned & grilled well too. Though we have varieties of order but these are my favorites. You never go home not feeling BUSOG here at BOOSOG!

My family has always been a fan of Boosog, waay before it had its branch near STC. A 2-3 minute walk from Mango Avenue, Boosog can be immediately spotted with its Gazebo like structure at the front giving the restaurant an almost native-like vibe. You can either choose to be seated outside or inside with air-conditioning. Our family usually eats inside because outdoor seating can sometimes be humid. Because we went there around 6 pm, we were immediately seated and were given menus. Menu was composed of a variety of Filipino dishes - vegetables, beef, pork, chicken and seafood. Name it and they got it! For most of their dishes, I find their prices reasonable enough. However, their vegetable dishes are quite pricey, which is why we seldom order them. This time we ordered their crispy pata, nilagang baka, grilled kitong and grilled squid. We've sampled their fried chicken before and I don't really recommend it. As usual, their crispy pata was great! Pretty consistent throughout all my experiences in Boosog. Crispy skin, not oily and soft meat. Also, served warm. Nilagang baka was good for 3-4 persons. It was served hot and was cooked to perfection. Beef melts in your mouth and the soup was delicious! Bonus points because it used a lot of ingredients. Grilled squid was a bit small but it tasted absolutely divine - soft and hot. They used a lot of stuffing such as onions and green onions, which really brought out the taste of the squid. Grilled kitong was cooked until moist. Kudos for the cook for preveting the fish to dry. Rice was not ganador-level but I can't really expect much since it was unli rice at 45 php. Food was served within 15-20 minutes. But one thing I noticed was that, they were quite slow with their water refills. We had to remind the staff around 3 times before our glasses were refilled. However, it was a minor slip-up from the overall experience. Will definitely come back here again!
