Where To Eat In Tomas Morato? O Ga Ne Korean Restaurant Is Worth A Try!




"Japan has sushi, China has noodles and your country has? Samgyeopsal!" Tell you what, this is completely hilarious! Yeah, time to say goodbye to our adobo and sisig my fellow Filipinos. Sorry South Korea, the Philippines is now officially including samgyeopsal as part of our cuisine, not only because we often crave for it but also most of us really love K-dramas(K-pop too) and we somehow feel like we're already part of it everytime we eat this dish. Right?
Unfortunately, it can never be official because it's just a joke. Forgive me please! Couple of days ago when I saw that funny post from a Facebook friend which is very relevant to this new blog post. All kidding aside, it's partly true and the prime basis could be the numerous affordable Korean restaurants in Metro Manila. As they say, they are springing up like mushrooms. We love it!



Yes, we honestly love it! We? Yeah, me and my coworkers. Kinda long overdue story but it was more than a month ago when we had our first team "eat out" at O Ga Ne Restaurant in Quezon City(exact address: 303 Tomas Morato Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, 1103 Metro Manila). Very common in a corporate world as a perfect way to get to know each other and the idea is somewhat like the quote, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach". Without a doubt you can create a great team, especially if all team members are foodie.



Although rush hour traffic didn't help us to get there smoothly, I could say that it was still a perfect timing because it really satisfied my craving for Korean meat, for my love samgyeopsal. Yeah, my last was roughly 5 months ago at Samgyupsalamat Makati. Totally missed the smoky smell, chopsticks, side dishes and the grill-your-own-food way of cooking. "Once is enough, twice is too much and thrice? Definitely it's your favorite."



O Ga Ne is not that spacious considering it's always open and indeed a haven for many food lovers in Tomas Morato. Yeah, even local actors go here. I call for expansion!



At a very affordable price of less than 400 Pesos (roughly 8 US Dollars) per person, you can enjoy unlimited samgyeopsal. More meat means more fun!



Unlike other Korean restos I've been to, O Ga Ne has portable Korean BBQ grills where you can cook the samgyeopsal. Great thing is, it doesn't create too much smoke but pieces of meat don't cook really fast. So, pretty much that's the consequence when you eat here. As they say, patience is a virtue. Side dishes and lettuce are not unlimited but can be replenished twice. There's free soup too!



No, we're neither love birds nor twins. We're just team members cheering to the freakin' weekend.



Aside from unli samgyeopsal I also had a chance to drink soju when we were there, a clear distilled liquor made from rice. Quite pricey but worth a try even for non-drinkers. The best soju I've ever tasted.



Ma ma ma my Melona! Surprisingly we got free watermelon-flavored ice pops as our dessert. Thank you O Ga Ne! It's a unique and literally sweet gimmick of the resto wherein customers can get free Melona by liking their FB page and posting their photo with (hashtag)#oganeselfie. Oh sure, easy-peasy! Hopefully you'll experience this too when you eat there. In a nutshell, this resto is recommendable for all of you gourmands! Enjoy!

WOW Philippines 2024: Discovering Balabac, Palawan — The Most Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Visited (Heaven on Earth)

It’s cold outside—and even colder in my room right now—and I’m absolutely loving it! How are you, people of Earth? It’s been over a week since my short trip to our neighboring country, Taiwan . I went there for leisure and to create new content, and I can confidently say: I’m definitely going back. Welcome to Balabac , Palawan ! True Paradise! As a first-timer, I completely fell in love with it. Everything just made sense—the vibe, the people, the place. But what truly impressed me was how advanced and efficient everything is. The technology there is on another level—from easy cashless payments to smart systems that make everyday life feel so seamless and convenient. And don’t even get me started on the transportation. The trains, especially the Taipei Metro , were incredibly clean, fast, and always on time. It was so easy to navigate, even for a visitor like me. Moving from one place to another felt effortless, which made exploring so much more fun and stress-f...

WOW Philippines 2024: Iloilo & Guimaras

Welcome to Iloilo, my Mom’s beloved hometown! It’s incredibly hot and humid today—dry season has definitely arrived again here in the Philippines . Thankfully, I’ll be working from home for the next three weeks, which gives me the perfect opportunity to start another blog.

The ongoing tensions in the Middle East are affecting everyone—fuel prices are rising, transport strikes are happening here and there, and inflation continues to weigh heavily on people. You can feel the growing anxiety everywhere. I just hope this all comes to an end soon, as economies around the world continue to struggle. Stairway to Heaven Now, let’s talk about childhood memories. Which moments from your childhood have you found yourself wishing you could experience again? Maybe it’s riding a bike with your childhood friends, or visiting your grandparents during school breaks. There are so many memories t...

The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...
