This early into the review, allow me to say that my Planet Grapes experience was unforgettable (not to mention, informative). The presence of the positively loquacious Executive Chef Chris Leaning from UK added to that worthwhile food event. He was patient with us clueless websites as to pairings of wines to the dishes available in the menu. And to that we are thankful for.Speaking of dishes, the ones served that afternoon were truly exceptional but the Sausage Platter and the English Fish and Chips stood out. The platter was a collection of lip-smacking international sausages served with wholegrain mustard and creamy coleslaw while the fish dish was made of crispy beer-battered fresh Lapu-lapu fillet with special tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Fantastic.Another of Chef Chris’ triumphs were the Fried Fishcakes of lightly-blended creamed potato, poached fish and parsley coated in breadwinner and the Scotch Egg Salad which was soft boiled egg enrobed in homemade pork sausage flavored with sage. Light and perfect starters.At the end of the website meet-up, we were served two desserts: Warm Apple and Cinnamon Crumble served with Vanilla Crème Anglaise and the Mango Souffle Cheesecake, no-bake mango cheesecake topped with papaya and ginger compote. Both are new menu items and both are simply, again, unforgettable. Congratulations.

I feel like I'm doing the community service by sharing this speakeasy located in the North, far from the usual hangout spots in Makati or BGC.I have been here just once but was amazed and surprised by its location, its cozy industrial interiors and the super chill vibe this place gives out. The massive collection of vinyl records, a couple being played with great audio equipment, can transport you to the smokey jazz era. Complete that with a glass of cocktail & good company, it sure is going to be a great night!Although their drinks and food (always comes with butter popcorn!) were quite pricey, it is actually worth it because the price you pay for goes with the overall experience of this speakeasy.Highly recommended for an intimate gathering with some friends for a couple of drinks!
