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!

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! 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...

New Bombay: Authentic Indian Cuisine

Hello world! How are we doing so far? Are you enjoying your coffee while reading this blog? I hope so. I don't know why I'm so tired today and I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed. Yeah, blame Bruno Mars! Just kidding! Yeah, it is a lazy day today. Sadly, as much as I want to sleep, I still need to finish this new article. Perhaps brewed coffee is the best answer to boost my mood. Oh my! Believe it or not, a new month is approaching. Happy February in advance! Time flies, I feel like this year for me is about food adventures. It's just my prediction but you know it's really not a secret that Filipinos love to eat and try new things. Nowadays, more people are becoming adventure seekers toward the dishes they eat and more people are starting to appreciate different cuisines than before. Perfect example are my colleagues. Don't include me, I'm hiding.  We are new in our company and we thought that the best way to bond is to ...

First Time Abroad: Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020 - Kota Kinabalu - Sabah

Hello, Super Folks ! Welcome back to my blog! How are you today? Well, whether you tell it or not, I know, most of us are not okay. Many are anxious, lonely and depressed. I'd like to say, if you don't feel fine, that's normal and valid. It's also understandable. Because of this COVID-19 pandemic, many are now getting emotional and struggling to stay sane. Without a doubt, the world has mental health crisis too and it's extremely concerning. We must address it and we also need to flatten this "other" curve. Praying like sharing to God your worries, reading new book, learning new language, avoiding toxic news on social media, learning how to plant, painting and doing yoga. These are only few examples that we can do daily or frequently to feel better. In addition, to somehow escape from the prison of negative or overthinking. Remember this, " whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, wh...
