 Fantastic Baka, Mother Ignacia

As if the world needs another samgyeopsal and woosamgyeop post, I am constructing this. :)) It's been a while since my last KBBQ and actually, the reason why I no longer eat out that much is because a lot of KBBQ restaurants have sprouted like mushrooms and yet, not all are satisfying. Yes, nakakabusog pero hindi masaya 'yung iba kasi hindi masyadong bet 'yung lasa saka 'yung quality. 

Fantastic Baka is one of the very few unlimited KBBQ that I liked and will consider going back to. 

 Fantastic Baka, Mother Ignacia

The location is huge and there are private rooms on the second floor.  Mother Ignacia branch has a more expensive price than the SM North branch but I swear, if it says premium here then it is. I've eaten at the SM North branch as well but I was kinda disappointed though SM has a cheaper price. Na-set na kasi ng Mother Ignacia branch 'yung standards eh. 

 Fantastic Baka, Mother Ignacia

P 799.00 for the Premium Unlimited Promo

I'm not saying that you eat here all the time but this is a place to consider if you're into KBBQ and you're willing to pay that much for a better experience. 


 Fantastic Baka, Mother Ignacia

Even the sidedishes are premium as well. Plus, the soup mixed with rice reminds me a lot of Korea. Huhu. Kahit 'yun nga lang kainin ko, keri lang eh. 


Sampler Meat Platter

Just look at the marbling of the beef (right). That is my favorite of all that is in this plate.

There's melted cheese and drinks are also inclusive. 


Another thing that I liked about this place? It's chargrilled. There's a distinct taste to something that's cooked on charcoal and I prefer that over electric grills.

My friends and I went to Tomas Morato for a Japanese dessert shop but we decided to eat dinner first. I searched the internet for the nearest Korean Restaurant in the area except for Hwaroro and Hanayo since the last two are buffets. 


Aside from grilled meats, they have ala carte items and shabu-shabu as well. 


I don't know what this soup is called but it's refreshing to have this alternately eaten with Kimchi Chigae. Gosh, why can't I eat spicy food?!



Banchan are okay. Not a lot but okay. Nah, I just wanted a myeolchi bokkeum hahaha but the side dishes are fine. 

First time eating in a Korean Restaurant where there's scrambled egg on the grill. 


I also liked the sweet potato. hehe. There were only two pork slices for an order of one samgyeopsal.
It was the waitress who grilled the slices for us so that's a plus. 


Kimchi Chigae

We had this made as mild but it was still spicy for me that I had to order a cup of rice just to enjoy eating this. :)) It was good though just that I prefer to taste spiciness and sourness in my kimchi chigae. Ayoko ng anghang lang. Pero Korean eh. hehe


Kimbap!!

Kakamiss!!!


Okay, even with the lack of description for each food item above since this is delayed for more than a month, I think Korean J Grill is one of the "okay" restaurants in Tomas Morato. I have visited two more within the area but they didn't make it to the blogosphere. lol.

One of the newest Korean Restaurant here in Quezon City is Soban K-Town Grill in Eastwood Mall. As soon as I heard that it's K-Town, I was reminded of Los Angeles' Koreatown. 

Then I read that it was indeed inspired by LA's K-town. Hihi. So much looooove! <3


Anyway, if you've been on this blog before, you'd know that I love Korean cuisine so imagine how excited I was to try this restaurant out especially since I've been seeing pictures of their food in Facebook and in Instagram. 


We had the PREMIUM BBQ SET worth P 2,120

Good for 3-4 pax

180g Premium marinated beef, 180 g pork belly (choice of any 2 flavors), 180g boneless fried chicken, 2 japchae.

Sets come with unlimited soup, rice and side dishes. 


K-Taco is P 220.00/3 pcs. 





Grabe! Their version of Ssamjang is to die for! One of the best that I've tasted. Sobrang match for Samgyeopsal even those that are marinated already.



Woo Samgyup


It's a smokeless grill so no worries about your clothes smelling like Korean food afterwards.


I missed eating tacos! Huhubells.

I love how they made this into a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine. So LA! Not to mention that they have burrito a.k.a my comfort food in Vegas too!! This place is like hitting two birds in one stone for me. 


This is their Kimchi fried rice. It comes with the set. It was supposed to be spicy since it's kimchi so for those who love spiciness of Korean cuisine, this one's for you. However, I'd settle for a plain rice. Haha! Wala. Sobrang weak ko. HAHAHA


If the tacos and burritos are the fusion of Korean and Mexican, we have here their Kimchi fries which is the fusion of Korean and American. I liked this even if it's a bit spicy for me. The pairing worked so well. Infairness.


This also comes with the set, the Boneless Fried Chicken

My mom doesn't like the grilled meats in Korean restaurant but she loves their fried chicken so I will definitely bring her here. She'll surely like the taco and chicken.


 This is food coma Soban version!


I always went for non-marinated meats for my samgyeopsal but I found myself getting the meat marinated in fruity sauce the most. Hehe! 

The sauces in Soban are Original, Fruity, Chili Bean, Soy Garlic, Wine and Doenjang. I think I'll order wine and doenjang next time. 


Yay! Thanks Soban for a very delicious dinner and Aldous for the hoodie. <3
The Thrill Seeker talaga eh. :))





Akala mo ba, besty, it's over???

NO! May second round pa. :))


Dolsot Bibimbap

They call this Ultimate Beef Bap worth P 250.00


From the looks of it, one order can already feed two people. 


For dessert, we were served ice creams.


I am not a fan of anything coffee so I just took a picture of this.


But I loved how creamy the vanilla ice cream (middle) is. <3

Galaxy cocktail!

<3




One shot, besty?

Yup, you read that right!

The Master of Buffet Cuisine has branched out up north!
The sixth and newest branch of Sambokojin Buffet is now open at G/F Annex 2, SM Fairview. 

I've eaten for a lot of times in Sambokojin at both their West Avenue and SM Megamall branches. Want to check them out? Links: here. and here. 

Since the SM Megamall branch was outstanding for me already, I wasn't really looking forward to new stuff but Sambokojin has surprised me once again. It has been more than a year since I last ate there and oh boy, it just keeps getting better and better! 

The next part would be some pictures I took when I was there. Ready? Better be! 'Cause these pictures will show you a GLIMPSE of an unforgettable culinary journeys of Korea and Japan.


Let's start?


Widest sushi options! 

I always start of my buffet visit with sushi as my appetizer. Haha! I don't know the names of each of these but one thing's for sure. They are a delight not only to the eyes but to the palate as well. Sarap, bes!


There are too many options that it felt like even if I had taken lots of pictures already, still was not enough. haha! And just imagine all the possibilities 'cause you can eat as much as you want! Dito talagang see food diet!


These are the real appetizers though. 


Oh my, may carving section na!? 

These premium meat carvings are Buta Hara Rosuto (roast pork belly), Hitsugi Rosuto (roast leg of lamb) and Gyuniku Rosuto (roast beef).

Not only do you have several meat to choose from, you also have several sauces! Huhu! I love that the roast pork belly was very crunchy and the roast beef was flavorful and tender. 


In the usual party experience, when you're one of the last people to queue in line in a buffet and there's lechon baboy, you wouldn't even get the chance to try the pig's skin. That's not the same here though, I kept passing by this area but there always ware pork slices with crispy skin. So obvious, noh? Isa talaga kong balat hoarder. haha! Kung nagkasama tayo dati sa party, baka ako 'yung dahilan kung bakit hindi ka na nakakain ng balat. :D


More options for the Japanese cuisine!

Some of these are takoyaki, sukiyaki, okonomiyaki, robatayaki, katsu and furai. You can also order kamameshi rice. 


Korean appetizers/ Banchan and sauces for your samgyeopsal! 

For other Korean cuisine options, they have Galbi Jjim, Beef Bulgogi, Kimchi Rice, Bibimbap, Chapchae, etc.

Premium Seafood and Meats for grilling.

Sambokojin is the perfect place for celebrations. With these options, there will surely be something for everyone! From the kids to the grandparents, from that person who eats everything to the pickiest eater.

Especially for a family get-together, choosing where to eat is actually the hardest. Why? We have different preferences when it comes to food or sometimes, people arrive late that most of the food orders have been eaten. With Sambokojin's consistently complete and regularly replenished buffet dishes? Problem solved! Daming options at laging meron!


Sukiyaki, Ramen, Udon, Soba and other noodles for all of your noodle cravings. 


Fry options!

Maniwala ka, laging may shrimp tempura. Di naga-agawan bes, chill ka lang. 


Different flavors of Korean Fried Chicken and Katsus

If you can notice, most of their food are properly labeled. Walang experience kumain ng Japanese or Korean cuisine? No problem! Dito ka na magsimulang matuto. 


Drinks are included already.

Look at all the available drinks that you can get and there are also a lot of shake options that you can ask for. 


Grilling time!

Yakiniku / Korean Barbecue

If you have no prior experience with using grills like this, you can ask the attendants to help you. Pero hindi eh, for me the grilling should be done by you. Mas masaya! It's a smokeless grill by the way so no worries that you'll smell like food once you step out of Sambo. 


This is what I'm talking about.

They wrap cheese, sweet potato and crab sticks in meat slices. My favorite is the cheese one topped with Sambokojin's version of teriyaki sauce! I ate too much that I didn't even mind having dinner that day. 


Aside from the juices, I also asked for four seasons shake and mango shake just because I can. haha! Drinks are now included and interchangeable but make sure to only get food that you can consume because there's a charge of P 200.00 for left-overs. 

Remember your table number because some buffet items can be ordered and delivered to your table. 


Look for the place where I sat. Chos. :))

SM Fairview branch is currently their largest branch with 140 tables that can accommodate 300 - 400 diners. Also, take notice of the wall design. So Japanice! So Japanese, I mean! 


Ready na for dessert?


Make sure to leave enough space for your dessert.

In the picture above are all three cakes that I like. I'm glad they have their versions of a green tea cake, japanese cheesecake and ube mousse!


Did you know that Sambokokin has now to-go options? Thanks to their Goodness To Go that even if someone wasn't able to go to the buffet and celebrate with you, you can bring some home for them just like these cakes. The prices for each food item vary. 


Instagram worthy dessert? Di lang! Drool worthy at more calorie intake worthy din! haha!


You can ask Kuya chef to make you a crepe.


Fresh fruit slices and this cutie owl fruit carving.


Nakakapagod din ah. haha!

Gora na gora na ba?

WAIT LANG! Wala pa 'yung star of the meal, at least for me. :))


Ito na!!!!!!!!!!

Ice cream!!!!

Chocolate, Mocha, Vanilla, Orange, Strawberry and MATCHA!!!! M.A.T.C.H.A!!!!!!
Ang OA ko ba? haha! Pero seriously though, ito talaga nilu-look forward ko in every Sambokojin visit. Matcha ice cream!! 


For more arte and just because I can put everything I can think of with my matcha ice cream, I asked Kuya to make me a crepe and put scoops of matcha ice cream in it. Of course, hindi ako kuntento so I added one more scoop on top. 


Kahit may vanilla, strawberry, mocha, chocolate, orange ice cream pati na ibang flavors ng gelato e ikaw pa rin pipiliin ko kasi matcha made in heaven tayo.❤ LUH



I will definitely see you again, Sambokojin!!


These are the prices.
