Yummy review: Big Better Burgers

We had lunch at Big Better Burgers located at Jupiter St., Makati, near Shell Edsa. Again, because of Cashcashpinoy, I had a 41% off voucher that makes it “Just P148 instead of P247 for a combo meal including your choice of premium burger, choice of sides and 16oz iced tea!”. Upon presenting the voucher, we were asked to pick among three choices of burgers: Hahalapeño, Mushroom Loco, and Shitake Teriyaki Burger. We should be able to choose for our side dish too but the only one available is the Country Fries. We chose Hahalapeño for him and Mushroom Loco for me.

The place is bustling with energy of social interaction. People were almost shouting as they struggled to have contact with their friends lost in the sea of anatomy. As we squeezed through the large mob of hungry customers, we managed to acquire seats that take full advantage of the TV. When I took the pictures, everybody left. Haha kidding. A few minutes later, some customers also came in.

Our orders arrived a few minutes later. What I loved about the burgers is that they’re not completely oily but JUICY. I liked his burger better though because mine is kind of bland but what do you expect from mushrooms? They’re bland like that. But the burger patty is great. You can also buy an additional patty for P70 if one is not enough.

It was a filling meal for me and for burgers that cost some P140+, it’s not bad.

I was satisfied with the meal but Vernon bought another burger. He’s big like that. But he’s on a strict diet now so I guess my food reviews won’t be growing much. I should have done this sooner because we’ve eaten in lots of places.

Here we go. Can you feel the frizzieness of my hair?

It’s a great burger place and it’s juicy and affordable. For me, it’s a 4/5.

It’s 2012! Happy New Year!

On New Year’s Eve, I stepped up and did something I’ve never done before. I made my very own lasagna! I’m super proud. My kuya came home from his condo to spend the night with us 🙂 he also helped me out with the cooking by chopping stuff and helping with the mashed potatoes. Aah I’m happy that I’m having the courage to face the stove and the fire. I was kinda paranoid during the process though because I always imagine stuff blowing up whenever there’s heat. Simply heating food placed on a glass plate in a microwave makes me imagine it sparking and blowing up, causing the door of the microwave to fly off. If you’ve played Half-Life, and pushed “E” in front of a microwave with one of those little creatures inside, you’d know.

Before baking. White sauce overload.

Okay those chunks are cheese chunks. We didn’t have a grater so we just chopped them, not even finely haha.

I think it could have used a little more time in the oven until the middle part gets those golden brown spots. I have more mistakes but it’s not bad for the first time. I’ll get everything right the second time around. 🙂 I was also supposed to make this “Oven-baked Chicken Schnitzel” and a fruit salad but there’s too much food around while there’s not much of us around to consume it. Maybe this month or something.

Anyway, classes resume tomorrow. I guess I’ll be putting blogging on hold again. I actually haven’t done this month-old homework haha oh procrastination y u in me.

I don’t get people who say “2012, be good to me” or something similar. What’s 2012 got to do with how you feel? You decide what you feel and how you react to external conditions. It’s up to you and not up to 2012. Happy 2012! 😉
