Lucky enough to eat at this place when there's just me and my group around. Another good thing was their 10Php per wing deal. We tried their shawarma pizza which was interesting. Other items on the menu are quite cheap too.

Review 2: If you haven't been to the country they coin as the Down Under, don't skip Skippy's. It is a full-blown Australian Bar owned by a cool Australian dude named Steve Burn. As they celebrate their 5th year, they are launching a new menu called Aussie's Favorites. Our team was able to indulge in some of the latest offerings. We had a feast on this visit, a preview of what you will expect from them as you visit. The name Skippy's was coined after a kangaroo with the same name in a TV series way back in the 70s. Steve was an avid fan of this playful animal. In fact, the actual surviving paw of Skippy can actually be found inside this restaurant. And if you ring the bell with it, you have to buy drinks for everyone! I dare you to do it. We got Overload Fries first and got even more fries as it was in most of the plates served to us. This dish was like the usual nachos only it has potatoes instead. It had kidney beans, salsa verde, ground meat and sour cream sauce. It's a fitting starter while you wait for the rest of your orders to arrive. I was wowed with their Aussie Burger (Php 580) piece. It has two thick and tasty double hamburger patties joined together by melted cheese, topped by a perfectly bright runny egg. This Aussie masterpiece also has a pineapple, red beets, pickles and tomatoes somewhere in the middle. Altogether you will have bites of sweetness, sour and savory all in one go. If you are in the BGC area late and still craving for breakfast, Skippy got you covered. They have Breakfast Platters here! First is the English Breakfast, which comes with toast, fried eggs, bacon strips, pork and beans, horseradish, grilled tomato and mushrooms, sausage and hash brown. Continental Breakfast was an equally filling meal but more meaty with sunny side up eggs, French toast, barbecued chicken, ham, beef steak and a side salad instead. The beef steak's texture and marination was similar to our Filipino Tapa. As we were getting filled up, we were showered with sizeable thin-crusted pizzas! So we had Shawarma Pizza with spicy mayo, Filipino inspired spicy Sisig Pizza and my top pick amongst the three, Meat Lovers Pizza in barbecue and tomato sauce combination. All pizzas had generous toppings and were distinctly different from each another. To pair of the pizzas, we were served pasta as well. We had two tomato-based, Lasagna and Chicken Parmigiana. The former was rather ordinary, the latter impressed with its significantly sized delicious, schnitzel.You can spot the kangaroo at The Forum, 7th Avenue Corner Federacion Drive, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. There is ample parking at the back of the establishment. Review 1:There are actually three malls in BGC, four if you are to include Serendra, and five if you are to add Megaworld's Piazza. There are also a couple of commercial centers around the area including the Fort Strip and BGC Stopover. So I have discovered this restaurant named Skippy's Bar & Grill, which you can find in another restaurant strip called the Forum. Surprisingly, it's just a small area but you'll never run out of food choices here.So anyway, in spite of the number of customers at Skippy's, which weren't that much at all, everything just seemed to be in slow motion. The staff members seemed to be moving at a snail's pace, whereas it took them ages to process our orders. To make matters worse, even the dishes that they have served us were quite disappointing.Skippy's chicken kebab (priced at Php400) looked like it was of a generous portion at first glance, but to our dismay, there were only six pieces of bland grilled chicken on the plate, which were mostly that of chicken skin. I even had to put ketchup on it just to give it flavor and make it interesting. The vegetables that go together with it were at least fresh and crunchy.I am sorry to say this but I do think that Skippy's chicken barbecue pizza (priced at Php250) is probably the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. There was barely any chicken on the pizza, and the barbecue sauce tasted like the generic bottled ones you get from the supermarket. It tasted way too sweet for my palate. The only thing that's nice about it is its crunchiness.Their brownie with ice cream (priced at Php170) was no match compared to the better ones I had in the past. It crumbles easily and it was airy too. I'd say that there are locally made ice creams that even tasted better than this one.As for their tropical smoothie drink (priced at Php180), I was hoping that they will use fresh strawberries for this one but to my dismay, they seemed to have used strawberry jam in it. I wasn't happy with its taste at all.So after having spent almost three hours at Skippy's watching the Australian Open Final, I do think that you ought to skip going to Skippy's. There are much better dining places to go to, and I guess this can only be a good spot if you're in the mood for watching sports events since they have huge screens here where you can watch them on.Maybe I'll give Skippy's another chance next time. Probably at NBA Finals? Sounds like a plan to me.
