Short Restaurant Review: Premier The Samgyupsal (Mabini Main)




Rain, rain, don't go away, come back please! It's already wet season in the Philippines but there's still water crisis in some parts of Metro Manila. I guess, even though I really don't like rainy days, I'll still pray harder for more rain because everyone badly needs it. Everyone needs to take a bath, drink water, brush their teeth and wash their clothes. Perhaps, it's also the best time for the government to think about building dams and for the people to be sincere about conserving water. Indeed, every drop counts, so let me share one simple way to save water. Reuse bathwater for flushing. Easy, right?



On a lighter note, Super Folks, how are you today? How's life? Hope everyone is having a peachy day. Just remember this, always train your mind to see the good in every situation. What's my next topic? Well, food blogging is not yet over, in fact I'm now figuratively cooking another short restaurant review. Look at the picture above. Looks familiar? Isn't it appetizing?



"You don't need a silver fork to eat good food." -Paul Prudhomme

Indeed, Chef Paul! Sometimes, all we truly need is a pair of stainless steel chopsticks.



From Japanese restaurant to Korean restaurant, from one small reunion with college friends to another small reunion with former colleagues and from Ramen Nagi to Premier The Samgyupsal. In short, I'll make you hungry again. Ready?



Oh My Meat!

Filipinos love Korean culture dearly, no questions asked. BTS, BLACKPINK, Soju, what else? Kimchi, K-dramas like my favorite SKY Castle and Samgyeopsal. I can say, the Philippines is a perfect tourism ally of South Korea.



Many of us would want to experience Samgyeopsal wrapped in lettuce, Korean BBQ, Bibimbap and Soju sessions in a finest Korean restaurant with our friends, families or colleagues on weekends.



Thankfully, there are a lot of first-rate Korean restaurants in Metro Manila nowadays, they are springing up like mushrooms and one perfect pick is? Premier The Samgyupsal located at 1720 A. Mabini St. Corner Alonzo St., Malate, Manila.



Its name really speaks for itself and I highly encourage you to eat there. A little over a year ago when me and my former colleagues slash lifetime friends decided to try this resto in Mabini. I can say, it was a great deal! For Unli Samgyupsal, we only paid 450 PHP(roughly 9 USD) each, believe me or not, compare to other Korean restaurants in the Metro, it's still affordable and really competitive.



I guess the catch was? I don't know if it's the right term or word but the price was only good for lunch time, from 10am to 4pm. Simply, unlimited but with 6-hour time limit policy. That's fine though, I was already full after 2 hours. In reality, even you, would also feel full or bloated after like 3 hours, unless you are a true red meat lover.



It was an uncrowded Sunday noon when I went there and sadly, my friends were very late. Great thing, I was able to find and reserve a table for us right away. If you're interested, Premier The Samgyupsal in Mabini is a cozy Korean restaurant, it's not also wide but still a nice place to hang out with your buddies. Their Samgyeopsal-gui is incredibly tender, other dishes are also savory like the Gyeran-jjim and as usual, Korean resto tends to be a smoky place because everyone is grilling, that's why I would recommend you to bring extra clothes and baby cologne.



Are you on a Keto Diet? For sure Premier The Samgyupsal can be your second home. But you know what? Whether you're on a Keto or not, it doesn't really matter, as long as you're a food explorer, you will easily enjoy this place.

That's all, Super Folks!

Mountains of the Philippines 2026: Mt. Pinatubo (Hike for a Cause: Walking with Purpose)

Hola a todos! It’s been super duper rainy these past few days—like, every five minutes! I hope you’re staying dry and safe, especially if you’re here in the Philippines. Please take extra care, everyone! And guess what? It’s August again, which means it’s my birth month! Yehey! How will I celebrate my birthday this year? Honestly, I don’t really know yet. I have a few little things I’d love to do with mi familia, but nothing too grand. I think I just want to keep it simple, just like the previous years. God has been so good to me, always. I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings He continues to give me, for the people He has placed in my life, and for the opportunity to be blessed so I can also be a blessing to others. Here’s to another year of life, love, lessons, and countless reasons to be grateful. Welcome back to another new blog post! Another day, another travel story to share. This time, let’s talk about hiking. Let me ask you—have you ever climbed a mountai...

Paradise Philippines 2025: Boracay (Familiar Shores, New Memories)

¡Hola, amigos y amigas! How are you today? Isang maulan na umaga! It's a multilingual day today as I'm kicking off this new blog with a mix of Spanish, English, and Tagalog. I thought it would be a fun way to greet everyone! Well, I've been feeling a little under the weather for about a week now. It's flu season, and a strong typhoon has just passed through the country, leaving us with rain that seems to fall 24/7. Kaya naman , it's been the perfect weather to stay indoors, get some much-needed rest, and gather my thoughts for today's blog. Boracay Keyhole Who here loves Olivia Rodrigo ? If you do, welcome to the club! Have you listened to her new songs—" Stupid Song ," " The Cure ," and " Maggots for Brains "? I've had them on repeat since last month, and I still haven't gotten tired of them. The lyrics, the artistry, the production—oh my, everything is just wow! I especially love how the songs blend sounds reminiscent of...

Chinatown Binondo, Manila: Happy Chinese New Year 2016!

                                                                 Let us enter the arch of new beginning. The day after the Chinese Lunar New Year(2016) Celebration. I remember before someone asked me what were the two important days in your life? I was shocked when he asked me that out of the blue. At the very first place we didn't know each other. After roughly 5 minutes of thinking I gave him an honest answer and that was a tough question though. I said first was my birthday then second was new year celebration. I right away explained why were these special. My birthday because it reminds me of how my mother exerted so much energy just to deliver me into this world. It also gives way for me to assess myself on what I've done in the previous year and my plans in the coming years. New Year Celebration as my second pic...
