One of my go to malls here in Quezon City is definitely UP Town Center. Not only is it close to where I live, it also houses different quality and affordable restaurants such as Fat Daddy's Smokehouse which we were able to try.


Flat lay of all the food we had that day! <3
Loved everything they served.



Crispy Fried Pickles
P 185.00 

Perfect for people who loves munching on pickles even those who want to try eating pickles. The sourness is balanced by dip that you would surely reach out and get more sticks 'cause having one isn't enough. 


Jera's Ultimate Pulled Pork and Bacon Nachos HALF
P 330.00

All caps 'yung HALF para intense. haha. If you'd notice, I really have a habit of taking very close-up picture of food that the quantity of the nachos above isn't obvious anymore but that half portion of Fat Daddy's nachos seriously doesn't look half to me.  Topped with generous pulled pork, bacon, cheese and sour cream - this nachos is one of the best I've had! 


The fried platter above should really be good 'cause I wasn't able to taste it at all. Ubos agad! :)) 


Chef's Pat Ultimate Cheese Dip
P 250.00

OKAY SO ANG SARAP NITO
I'm not exaggerating on this one but this was my favorite of all the dishes (if not for the meat.lol) Okay, fine. I may be biased though 'cause cheese and pita bread is just on another league in my palate 'cause I seriously love the combination. haha! Pero seryoso, this will not disappoint! 


Baked Mac n Cheese Poppers
P 195.00

Love their take on Mac n Cheese! Very interesting talaga when restaurants experiment on food.


Fresh, Fried and Smoked Platter
P 1,900

For sharing and with different kind of meat in one platter - this is definitely worth it! I loved the perfectly smoked steak that goes perfectly well with the salad below. 


For people like me na, "May gulay so should be healthy!" Lol. :))

The platter comes with the meat platter, the salad above, pitcher of iced tea, and rice. Not bad, eh? 


Triple Death Burger
P 440.00

I posted this picture in both my Facebook and Instagram account and some of my friends message me that I was torturing them because the burger above made their mouth water. Well, I wasn't trying to torture anyone kahit na Triple Death Burger ang name ng burger na 'to. Haha!

Triple Death Burger's name is that way because of the three kinds of meat it has as its patties. It doesn't sound like death to me at all, though, if anything... it's definitely heaven on Earth!


Brisket Burrito Bites
P 185.00


Andito na naman ako but I think this is perfect with beer! HAHAHA! I loved everything about this especially the sauce and the tender meat bits inside.



TIME FOR DESSERTS!


Caramel Drizzled Banana Pudding
P 170.00


Bacon and Smore's Dip
P 250.00


Pecan Pie
P 250.00


Smokey Bacon Milkshake
P 195.00

Caramel Popcorn Milkshake

P 195.00

Give the usual cafe drinks a break and try something different with Fat Daddy's! I prefer the smokey bacon milkshake than the caramel popcorn milkshake. Not only is it more unique, I'm still surprised how can bacon tastes so good with just about anything. lol. 


On another note, I was out with my girl friends from high school and time passes by so fast when I'm with those girls since we rarely see each other these days. Anyway, what we did was transferred restaurants because we wanted to drink something with liquor for the night ('cause wine not?). It's difficult to find a good place that serves just about anything you'd like to have during those long conversations. hehe.

Long talks while wanting to eat different kind of food should not be a problem with Fat Daddy's Smokehouse though 'cause they also serve cocktails. Refreshing cocktails at reasonable prices, that is, like the one above.

Although I wasn't able to visit all the shooting locations of Fight For My Way that I had in mind, I was able to walk at Seoullo 7017 for several times when I was in South Korea mainly because it's where I am supposed to walk at to get back to my hotel from Seoul Station. lol. :)) 



If you're a tourist, this is a main attraction. In reality, it's a newly-constructed pedestrian walkway beautiful and good enough to actually be tourist attraction. There are several establishments/stores here but they were all closed since it was already late. 



I wasn't able to walk along the entire "pedestrian highway" so the pictures here are taken near the Seoul Station area. I spent two hours walking there while waiting for snow. haha! 



During winter, if gray/white clouds "fill" the entire sky, snowfall is possible. While waiting, I decided to walk around the vicinity of my hotel until I reached this pedestrian bridge. I didn't immediately realize that it was Seoullo 7107 but I soon did as soon as I saw the blue lights. 



I knew of this place when it was shown in the Kdrama, Fight For My Way. When I came back to the Philippines, it was also in one of the episodes of 2 Days, 1 night... got so kilig!!! Hahaha! It was a place in Seoul that I recognize and I was able to walk at. 





Going solo in Seoullo 7017.

At times like this, you'll be thankful for couples because you get your picture taken in exchange for taking their pictures. Haha! Talk about being a third wheel anywhere. 





Everything in and around Seoullo7017 is beautiful. Imagine seeing a lot of places in Seoul while walking here. You can reach Namdaemun from Seoul Station if you continue towards the end of the skybridge. 



It's also a great place to be able to see Seoul downtown's skyline.

Seodaemun



Glassfloor




It was quite late back then but walking along Seoullo 7017, felt really safe. Unlike the footbridges here in the Philippines, no need to put your backpacks in front and briskwalk for safety. Lol. Hopefully, maging safe na rin sa Philippines!









Seoullo 7017 during morning




This place would so look good during Spring. I wonder what it looks like now? :)) I am hoping for a South Korea part nth, universe! Sayang naman multiple entry visa ko kung hindi ko magagamit.... winter, spring, summer, fall. 





As for the snow, it did. I think it snowed almost the whole night. <3 My heart is full!! That was already the transition of winter to spring but I experienced snowfall two times. 


The snowfall that I experienced that night was a heavy one and it was accompanied by lightning and thunder. Worth the wait!

Usually, we hate being served cold food/viands. Alam mo 'yun, kapag malamig 'yung pagkain para bang walang effort but that won't definitely be the problem with Mama Tess because their Filipino comfort food are served in sizzling containers. Love it!

Sizzling Balut
P 115.00


We initially didn't know what this was until we tried cutting one of the "balls" Turns out that it's balut, one of the exotic dishes here in the Philippines.

Whenever I think of those times when I tried to feed a foreigner this duck embryo, I also think that I should've known Mama Tess by then. lolz.  Their version of sizzling balut is delicious and looks appetizing. For sure, we would've skipped the whole freaking out thing if they were able to eat this first.

For Filipinos, this one's a good dish to try as well. Who would have thought that there are other dishes you can come up with balut aside from the usual suka at asin dip, diba?



Kare-Kare
P 210.00

I love the sauce of this kare-kare and the meat's also tender. This one is reasonably priced and perfectly paired with their bagoong.




Sizzling Bulalo
P 280.00

This is my favorite!

I love the regular bulalo but having a different version of it from time to time is good as well. The creamy (gravy?) sauce balances the tenderness of the meat and it's serving is obviously generous as well.





Sizzling Laing
P 170.00

At first, I thought this was their version of sisig but soon I realized that it's laing. While vegetable viands aren't usually my go-to order whenever I eat outside, this is perfect for those who do. It's a bit spicy but the taste of coconut milk still manages to balance the taste.









Thank you, Mama Tess Sizzling Avenue! <3
