It's rare that I enter a restaurant on a whim. I normally plan my visits from the when to the (most importantly) why. The why ranges from I-want-to to I-was-invited-to and to the rare, all-of-the-sudden-I-have-to. My trip to Full Belly Craft Kitchen falls under the last one. I was on my way to a cafe in the Scout area (under I-was-invited-to category) when I changed my mind and asked my driver to make a u-turn and to take me to this interesting kitchen of fat and cholesterol in Esguerra.The entrance is not friendly to PWD and even to seniors. One thing: there's a very big possibility of dying not from cholesterol from eating in Full Belly but trying to negotiate the short but seriously steep front.Good thing that an alert and pretty server was there to assist. A brownie point for Full Belly. She led me to the inner part of the restaurant which was dark therefore not friendly to taking photos so I opted to stay near the door. It was quite warm but not uncomfortable. So, I started studying the menu (the menu in website is not updated) and decided, God have mercy on me, on the Bagnet Sisig (chunks of crispy pork with pig's brain with egg, onions, green, bell peppers, green chilis and sriracha mayonnaise) and Garlic Rice with Home Brewed Iced Tea.The Bagnet Sisig was good. Everything about is tempered. It was mildly spicy (hindi OA) and the crunchy (not crispy) texture was slightly makunat. Don't worry, it was not the annoyingly leathery type. Its the kind that you play with it inside your mouth (for a short while) before you eventually swallow. One more important thing, the Bagnet Sisig is served in a round sizzling plate and not in those heavy sizzling plates which is shaped like a cow (just like what they use in some smoky eateries that serve lukewarm beer and rough, fatty, second class steaks immersed in runny gravy).As of the service, the female servers were attentive and do not hover that can be irritating. They suggest but never push. And that for me is a big thing.Am I returning? Yes, definitely. I just need to be certain that I have my precious, life-saving Catapres with me when I do. Mahirap na.

The Bagnet Kare Kare and Tuna Belly were both yum. The servers were attentive as well. The place lives up to its name as we left the restaurant with happy tummies. Overall, we liked our dining experience except for how the serving size was a bit small for the price.

To have breakfast at Full Belly Craft Kitchen last August 21, 2017 was the best decision of the day. There are three points to prove this: first is their delicious food, the prices were a bit expensive but were worth it. The servings were huge and the tastes were great. After eating with just two orders (with rice), there were still enough food to take home. Second was their friendly staff, they were attentive to serve what their customers need (eg. pouring your glass with water) without even being asked to do so. It's like they know what you need before you even realize you need it. Lastly was the ambience, it feels very homey and comfy which makes the customers relax while doing their own things. The whole dining experience in the Full Belly Craft Kitchen is unforgettable that it will make you want to eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner here on the same day.BTW:1. Ordered (worth around ₱1,060) a. Bagnet ni Kenneth (1/4) b. Breakfast - Beef Belly Tapa c. Breakfast - Tuna Belly * With take out of a good for one meal pa2.

We ordered 1/4 bagnet, laing and a platter of rice which it turned out can sufficiently fill 3 people. Bagnet's so crispy outside and yet very tender inside. The fermented side dish just didnt work for me. The laing's so creamy and just the right saltiness served with 2 prawns. Highly recommended.

I like it here because its not crowded and you can stay for a long time. Food is modern filipino and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and very attentive to you needs.

Despite the prices, their dishes are so delectable that made justice to its cost. They can even make a humble ginisang monngo into a rave-filled feast. I'm just hoping that their place would stay eventhough it seems like they don't have a lot of patrons.

Mouth watering! Very good! Bagnet cooked to perfection. Definitely coming back. Roast beef belly was awesome too. Kinda pricey but worth every penny.

We celebrated my Father's Birthday here. They told us there were no seafood available at that time, so all our orders were mostly with Bagnet as this is their specialty. We ordered, Pinakbet, Bagnet ni Kenneth, Beef Belly Kare Kare, Bagnet Sisig and Tortang Talong. Out of all the dishes we ordered I only get to like the Kare Kare, the rest were too salty. Their Bagnet ni Kenneth which is their best seller/specialty was good but its not the good you would raved about to others. I hope they could improve their menu.

We ordered Bagnet ni Kenneth, pumpkin soup, beef bowl rice and garlic rice. The rice - beef bowl rice can be eaten on its own because its beef bits are enough for a meal. The garlic rice lacked some flavor but it complemented the main dish. The main dish - Bagnet ni Kenneth satisfied my bagnet cravings. I have tried a lot of bagnet chains and this is one of the best. It has the beast quality for its price. Although it can never level with the bagnet I grew up, its close enough. I have really beyond the top standards for bagnet since I'm ilokano. Pumpkin soup - it was the really local squash soup. It had tahong mixed in it so a warning for those allergic to seafood. They have limited beer selections but the staff was friendly and prompt. The place was also very cozy. Will definitelt visit again!
