Zao Vietnamese Bistro in Eastwood City, Libis

Last Sunday, our family ate out with a couple of our closest friends at Zao in Eastwood City, Libis to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Our first choice was actually Cyma, but we were greatly disappointed with them as they told us over the phone that no reservations were being accepted during weekends, but to our surprise, they couldn’t fit us in because some of the tables were already reserved. That was more than enough reason for to go with our second choice which was Zao.

Anyway, back to Zao. Their Eastwood branch is actually quite a small place as our party of 18 almost filled up their entire indoor dining space, but believe me, the food is good enough a reason to try out your luck and find a table here at Zao on a busy, jam-packed weekend night at Eastwood City.

Red Kimono: P535 All-You-Can-Eat

Having eaten in the likes of Teriyaki Boy, Saisaki, Fuji, Sumo Sam, Paseo Uno (Mandarin Hotel), Spiral (Sofitel) and Hama in Boracay, I would consider Red Kimono to be average. It’s not a stand out in terms of flavor, plating or creativity, but it’s good enough for its price.

However, they do have an on-going P535 All-You-Can-Eat promo which the others don’t currently offer that might interest Japanese foodies out there.

Heaven ‘n Eggs: All-Day Breakfast

If you’re like me who doesn’t mind eating breakfast anytime of the day, then Heaven ‘n Eggs is just the place for you. They have an assortment of breakfast items to choose from ranging from the very American pancakes to the very Filipino tapsilog (with a twist, of course). It’s been a while since we last ate at Heaven ‘n Eggs with the last one dating back to the year it first opened in the Philippines, and it has improved in terms of service, and food quality as well.
