Last night, I was online and badly thinking of you. No, I'm just kidding. I was really asking myself, how will I start my new blog post? Voila! And I saw this on Google Images, "On this day, the sweetest being on earth was born. Happy birthday to me!", which I find relevant, thus, might as well include this on today's short restaurant review. I don't know but, I can freely say this to myself every year. Perhaps, I could say not only the sweetest but also one of the nicest earthlings. Loud and proud!
However, just to be clear, it's not my birthday today. Yeah, sadly. The photos that you will see were taken over a year ago. Let me call it, "little throwback". If you're wondering, specifically when was the throwback. Okay, I will tell now.
August 17, 2018. That was the date, when me and my family went to Torch Restaurant in Circuit Makati to celebrate my birthday. It was unglamorous yet practical. We simply enjoyed their Filipino American dishes and ice cream with sparkler, a freebie for the celebrator, which many restaurants also have. Thank you, Torch!
PINK LEMONADE BOTTOMLESS- Php 80.00 (roughly 1.55 USD)
Question, how would you like to celebrate your birthday? For sure, I'll hear a lot of answers from you, Super Folks. Let me guess, one would choose family vacation? Another reader would say, "shopping alone!", others would say, "I'd go to salon with my best friend and watch Joker movie after."
Wow! Nice ideas. But, you know what? It doesn't really matter where or how would like to celebrate your birthday. For me, the most important thing is you're happy and satisfied on your special day. Whether you're with your family, friends or home alone, eating the best cupcake in town while reading online books. Make way to smile!
Experimental, that's also how I describe our experience in Torch. I mean, we don't religiously eat outside on special occasions like birthday. Previous years, my family would just stay home, make Filipino spaghetti and buy local cake, simple as that. It became somewhat a yearly tradition and I thought it would be okay to break it, to break the usual, sometimes.
MEATBALL SPAGHETTINI- Php 289.95 (roughly 5.62 USD)
After that, the rest is history. Plus, Circuit Makati is nearby, it's easy and cheap to find restaurant at this tiny piece of Makati City for us, we could go there any time. We were able to see Torch without hassle. It's the city's newest entertainment and lifestyle hub. It's truly promising.
FIRE-ROASTED HAWAIIAN CHIX BBQ- Php 339.95 (roughly 6.59 USD)
We went there after lunch. That afternoon was perfect timing for an introvert like me who has slight fear of crowds. There were only few customers. I honestly had misgivings before we enter Torch, I thought Jollibee would be better because of my 8 year old nephew but good thing, it was my birthday. So, I was the decision-maker. No fries and fast-food resto on my day.
SMOKED CHICKEN CURRY- Php 324.95 (roughly 6.30 USD)
Word of mouth, without it, I wouldn't try and go to Torch. It was a friend who referred this resto to me roughly 4 years ago, I remember she said her brother is the main cook there. "Oh, that's good. We would love to visit!", I said. A bit disappointed because I didn't see him when we were there, I guess, he was no longer working in that branch or he's already somewhere else. I was really hoping for more freebies but nah, that's okay.
FRIED CHICKEN- Php 329.95 (roughly 6.34 USD)
I'm not an Interior Designer but I like the Industrial style of this restaurant. I don't know if it's the right term. It's modern and cozy. It's also spacious, you can hold a farewell party or gender reveal party. Millennials can also find Instagram-worthy spots inside, like the artificial bamboo stalks. That's a beautiful background.
Family-friendly restaurant. Torch is ready to serve you even after family Sunday mass. If your kids would like to eat spaghetti and fried chicken, fast-food is not the only place. Treat them here. Dishes taste like home-cooked and the prices are reasonable.
After those Japanese and Korean food tripping I did with my friends few years ago, I felt it was a total cleanse for me when we ate there. Happy because I was with my family. Hungry now? Why don't you try Torch? No worries, staffs are nice and they go the extra mile. Thanks again for the free dessert!
