Real deal Persian Eats at Mister Kabab

The more popular branch of Mister Kabab (also bigger, and open 24/7) is located at West Ave., QC. Fortunately, they have a branch near our office at Pearl Plaza in Ortigas.

We usually drop by this place during lunch hours and after work. The place is pretty big and even during meal hours it's not that crowded.

Usual patrons are from the nearby University of Asia and the Pacific and offices. I really love it here. Food is great, price is right, staff are commendable and sometimes they have promos. They also have this dessert stall inside so you don't even have to go out for you with sweet tooth.

We were actually surprised with our last visit. The waitress informed us that if we reach 300 bucks there's gonna be free apple pie. And boy the apple pie was good.

We ordered our favorite, keema. Top picks include ox brain, lamb kebab and keema with eggplant. Special mention goes to their yogurt shake. Warning though that their ox brain serving comes in big chunks (which I love) unlike other persian places I've tried.

Their long-grained rice is served with butter on top, pita bread warm and lightly burnt on the right places, garlic sauce not runny. They also serve hefty servings.

I would say that their prices are competetive and well worth it.

I always look forward to visiting this place. Heck, we're presently here at Metrowalk thinking where to grab dinner and we're really considering Mister Kebab.

Serenitea [tea series]

Had a go at Serenitea at Eastwood. I can say that I'm adequately good at judging out milk tea places since we've been frequenting a lot of em these past few months.

Budget-wise this is on the high-end spectrum of the milk tea market. Nowadays, the trend is to customize your drink on the sweetness level, add-on (may it be pearls, pudding, aloe vera, etc.). I may be a bit biased with my usual milk tea fix on this but I personally find the drinks here a little too overrated, doesn't really stand out from the rest, and with the price you pay you can have a drink which I think is much more worth it.

Over all, I would go back here if 1. I' m in the area and I badly need a milk tea fix. 2. I don't care about the price. 3. My hot date really wanted it there.
