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!

Paradise Philippines 2025: Siargao

Para, para, paradise!! Lovely morning, y’all! How’s everyone doing? It’s already May, and so much has been happening lately, office dramas, rotational brownouts, mood swings, the rainy season creeping in, rising inflation, bits of great news, and heartbreaking headlines caused by corrupt politicians. But through it all, you and I still have to keep moving forward, keep showing up, and keep choosing life every single day. That’s probably why little escapes and quiet moments away from the noise feel extra special these days. Today, we’re diving into a new blog post, and I have a question for you: if you were given the chance to escape today — even just for a little while — away from all the responsibilities and stress of the world, where would you go? Would you finally visit the place you’ve been dreaming about for so long? Or would you rather wander off to somewhere random, with no plans at all? More than two years ago, I found myself asking this question: now that I finally had...

WOW Philippines 2024: Moalboal (Cebu Again)

Cebu , I’m back—back for you. I’ve missed you, and I hope you’ve missed me too. Welcome me again as I begin to explore you even deeper. Let me start by saying this: this trip happened almost three years ago, at a time when life felt unbearably heavy. After everything I went through, I needed an escape—a moment to breathe. And this journey became exactly that. It was my oasis in the middle of a desert, a quiet refuge when everything else felt chaotic. In many ways, it felt like something heaven-sent—an answered prayer that gently helped soothe and steady my heart. What about you—how do you cope when life takes an unexpected turn? How do you rise after everything seems to fall apart? And when the unforeseen happens, when you feel completely unprepared, how do you begin again? Have you ever come across the idea of grounding, or “ earthing ”? I started noticing it through videos online, and from what I understand, it’s essentially about reconnecting with the earth—...

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 a ch...
