the food court of the luxe Las Vegas Style Casino called Solaire Resort & Casino, located at Pagcor Entertainment City is included in my paranaque pages as it is located in Paranaque City!
if you feel a little bit stingy on eating good food while on a strict budget ( I know you have more moolah to spend on the gaming tables and slot machines, right!) on a gambling spree at solaire, fear not as they have a moderately priced food court inside the premises, located in the middle of the lobby alongside the slot machines. the food court houses 6 types of cuisine, offering simple meals like asian fusion, japanese, american, patisserie, chicken dishes and chinese food. prices of the meals costs 120 to 300 pesos and the drinks at 50 to 150 pesos. the selections are quite limited as they don't want to lure customers away from the more luxe restaurants inside the complex.
opens: 24/7
according to their website:
At the Food Court, the food is extraordinary, and the prices are too! Chef Hisham has created six unique dining experiences that are sure to please even the most discriminating tastes. Patisserie offers tasty pastries, muffins and coffee. New York style pizza and burgers are the inspiration behind the menu at Americano. Chicken Lickin’ delights with eight different ways to enjoy chicken. Pan Asian brings together the best comfort food in the east. Get your noodle on at Hong Kong, or satisfy your Japanese cravings at Sapporo. So many incredible choices, and with one location, you can select them all.
Favorite Dish: the dishes are simple but flavorful, they have assorted ramen dishes at 120 to 200 pesos an order, chinese pork ribs and barbecue dishes at 200 to 250 pesos an order, chicken dishes at 120 to 200 pesos an order, assorted pizza, pasta and burgers and then some.

Part two of my tips with more pictures
Countryside Steakhouse started as a nondescript hole in the wall steakhouse in the City of Dasmanrinas Cavite in the 1980's and it became popular to the university and medical students of the University Town of Dasmarinas Cavite due to it's tasty and budget sizzling steaks, chicken wings and a lot more (it was my favorite as I was a medical student then in Dasmarinas Cavite) and on a revisit to BF Homes in Paranaque, I was surprised that they now have a branch here! (they now have 17 branches around Cavite Province and in Metro Manila, they are really getting popular!). Since this was my comfort food during my medical school days, I have to rekindle my love affair with this steakhouse! you see, while I am a steak connosiuer that tasted the very best of them like the grade 5 kobe beef, matzuzukaya beef, black angus beef, australian wagyu, chilean wagyu and more, I still have a liking to the local philippine steaks like sizzling plate and the countryside steakhouse which are comfort food for me!
according to their website:
It was in the year 1984 when Peter and Anita Clorina started their first restaurant on the corner of Ramirez St. and Don Placido Campos St. in Dasmariñas, Cavite. The first ever Countryside was just a typical “carinderia.”
It became a hit among students from nearby schools. Seeing this, the enterprising couple stopped serving beer and the simple “carinderia” was then converted into a fast food restaurant called Countryside Tapsi-Steak House. The new look came with a new menu, whose specialties were T-bone steak and “tapsilog.” The servings were moderate-sized and the prices ranged from budget to affordable. There was a constant demand to expand operations, so Peter and Anita decided to borrow a modest amount of funds from a livelihood co-operative. They then set up Malihan Branch in 1990, just a few blocks away from their maiden venture to cater to their ever increasing customers, still made up mostly of students.
The business also got a new name: Countryside Steakhouse and Restaurant. With five children to send to school, husband and wife took another five years before they could open their third branch. This one was located in front of De La Salle Medical Center. From that day on, in addition to the loyal patrons of students, office workers from several establishments in the area and many other customers from all walks of life came to dine and judge the signature taste for themselves. With a goal to invade the market outside their home, the entrepreneurs established their fourth branch in Imus, Cavite.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Armed with the faith that the once humble business will still go places, the couple formed Countryside into a corporation with Pete and Nitz Foods, Inc. as its corporate name. At present, every branch is continuously witnessing improvement, not only to make the actual dining setting a delight but to maintain the quality service and good taste that keep people coming back for more. Several additions have been made to the original menu and there are now PMC Countryside Steakhouse and Café and PMC Countryside Burger House (which is ready to serve 24 hours). For over 20 years, Countryside has managed to build a reputation of quality and consistency, and this is what has kept them strong in a highly competitive food service industry.
Favorite Dish: Their sizzling steaks are really cheap, my favorite sizzling porterhouse steak costs 240 pesos an order with sizzling gravy (laced with lard to make it yummy!) and fried rice. an order of sizzling chicken wings (again with gravy laced with lard) at 140 pesos an order with rice. they also have other hearty meals like the sisig, beef tapa, porksilog, longsilog, tuna steak, burger steak and more.

Normally, when we go caroling, we would at least sing for three households or groups. Unfortunately, some of our hosts had other appointments(some just sent envelopes and other "gigs" were postponed), so we were only able to sing for one household and their neighbors.
Since the night was still young some of us decided to have dinner somewhere near. We gave some suggestions, but somehow all of us wanted to try something new. Well, at the very least, somewhere we have not tried before.
We went restaurant surfing along Aguirre Avenue and found MANNA CAFE. There were some people in the battery, but the cafe was empty, They were preparing for a wedding anniversary celebration to be held the next day at 4pm. This made us doubt the quality of the food at first, but since we were already there and hungry at that, so we decided to stay.
Since they didn't yet accept credit cards, we were on a limited budget so we just chose stuff that seemingly gave value for money.
When our orders arrived, we were amazed that the food was plated well and were very, very delicious. We just had to compliment the Chef.
Chef Robert Guevarra. He had a nine(9) year stint at Antonio's...yes, that place where you have to reserve for days or weeks or months(depending on your ability and timing) before finally dining there...then earlier this year, when he was offered to be Head Chef "here" at Manna Cafe, he had to leave Antonio's. Since there's this consultant(*Chef Off) who is also a chef, this very humble person considers himself as a Sous Chef.
One Sycamore Food Ventures and Ephesians Management Corporation:Manna Cafe and Bread Shop are sisters of The Coffee Republic & Asian Noodles and More
*Chef Off (That’s short for Nasawoothoff Thomapoon, Thai Executive Chef) is the consultant and business partner of Mr.and Mrs. Rafael of Davao and LA. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He used to be at the helm of Kafe Yen, an award-winning family-owned eatery in Bangkok.

Chef Mervyn Whitfield's Story
Fab Chef's Spicy Story
Food-Fever: Chef Mervyn Whitfield
When we learned that one member of our "trio" was not available that night of the 4th of December, we decided to go "Resto Surfing" along Aguirre Avenue. We wanted to try a place place where we have not eaten before. There were lots of fairly new places so we could not decide. Upon reaching El Grande we decided to make a U-Turn then "browsed" the avenue again.
For some reason both of us craved for something Mediterranean that night. We could have gone to Le Souk, but it looked so crowded, and at least one of us has been there before. We continued our search until we "discovered" SOPHIA'S CUISINA.
Rolly, the one who served us with gusto, recognized my "Big
Sis". It took as a few minutes to realize that the man who
welcomed us was THE Chef Mervyn Whitfield(there are links
above just in case you do not know who he is),
the former chef of the Beatles, and that Sophia's Cuisina is not really new. It used to be at West Gate, Alabang, but a few months ago, they decided to transfer to 225 Aguirre Avenue, Phase 3, BF Homes, City of Parañaque.
Unlike their former Taverna, this one is homier and has a
great atmosphere. We were very lucky that the owners were
there that night. There were other diners, but they were
almost done when we arrived.
Josie, the very gracious wife of Chef Mervyn, chatted with us a bit. It is easy to tell that she is very unassuming and has a good heart.
The food is great!

Favorite Dish:
Spaghetti all'amatriciana -alla matriciana (in Romanesco) is a traditional Italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino cheese, and tomato. Yummy! The pasta, I don't know if it's obvious here, is al dente...the sauce is divine!
Falafel Platter with Pita, Fries and Hummus- Delicious! Reminds me of New York!
Mango Panna Cotta-After being disappointed with a so-called "Panna Cotta" somewhere along the same avenue, we were satisfied with this one. ❤❤❤ (Although we have a favorite panna cotta in the City of Parañaque, this one is good too!)
The Baked Lasagna- For only PhP 99.00, you will be able to enjoy this very scrumptious BAKED LASAGNA! ❤❤❤

This is NOW my favorite restaurant in the area. :)
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
From the outside it looks like just one of those other posh restaurants in the vicinity, presentable, and all that jazz, but once you enter the place, you would pinch yourself hard before you could believe you are awake. Yes. There is such a place just around the corner.
The place's ambiance is comparable to a hotel lobby(a very beautiful boutique hotel). It is clean and spacious, but often full, not just because it is fairly new, but because of the delicious, mouthwatering food, and the good service.
I can't call the service great yet, but they are getting better everyday.
One thing I know for sure is that almost everyone I know from the area is RAVING about this place.
So why not give them a visit and see for yourself? You won't regret it. While you're at it, why not check their Culinary store below too? :D I heard from the grapevine that it's also going to be a culinary studio or school.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE BLOG ENTRIES I WROTE:
My Blog entry about Tito Chef and his resto.
No, I don't own the place!
Favorite Dish: HERE ARE MY FAVORITES:
CEDAR PLANK GRILLED SALMON: I seldom like eating salmon because of the seemingly high sodium that give me nape pains. For some reason, there are also very few restaurants/eateries that make salmon appealing to me.
How can I not love the very scintillating scent and the very, very delicious taste? Sigh. This baby got me hooked!
Another salmon "dish" melted my heart. SALMON TARTARE. It's served with melba toast, but when I order this, i order it with dinner roll so that my dentist won't scold me. LOL.
The TRUFFLED MUSHROOM SOUP PUREE is one of the best mushroom soups in town.
The CUCUMBER LIME SHAKE is very, very refreshing!
What else?
Oh, the BRAISE OX TONGUE BORDELAISE is not only nicely plated, it is also very mouthwatering.
The salads, the desserts...I could go on and on.
MY ULTIMATE FAVORITES:
BLEU CHEESE ALFREDO, BARBECUE SPARERIBS, and for dessert, it's the MACHA PRALINE TORTE.
They also offering Pot Luck and Take Away Dishes...they cater too!
Call (+632)2380968 for more details
FYI, they are more expensive than average compared to other restaurants in Parañaque, but they are about average among the great restaurants in the vicinity.
Still affordable and there's value for money. :)

They serve Punjabi Cuisine and is a RestoBar. (Serves Indian and Pakistani Cuisine)
Punjabi cuisine (Punjabi: ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਪਕਵਾਨ, Urdu: پنجابی پکوان) is food from the Punjab region of northwestern India and eastern Pakistan. It can be non-vegetarian or completely vegetarian. One of the main features of Punjabi cuisine is its diverse range of dishes. Home cooked and restaurant Punjabi cuisine can vary significantly, with restaurant style using large amounts of ghee, clarified butter, with liberal amounts of butter and cream, with home cooking concentrating on mainly upon preparations with whole wheat, rice and other ingredients flavored with masala. Within the Punjab region, there are different preferences. People in the area of Amritsar prefer stuffed parathas and milk products. In fact, the area is well known for quality of its milk products. There are certain dishes which are exclusive to Punjab, such as sarson da saag. The main masala in a Punjabi dish consists of onion, garlic and ginger. Tandoori food is a Punjabi speciality especially for non-vegetarian dishes. Many of the most popular elements of Anglo-Indian cuisine - such as Tandoor, Naan, Pakoras and vegetable dishes with paneer - derive from the Punjab.
Favorite Dish: Vegetable Biryani-Biryani, biriani, or beriani is a set of rice-based foods made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and meat, fish, eggs or vegetables. The name is derived from the Persian word beryā(n) (بریان) which means "fried" or "roasted".[1]
Biryani was originated in Iran (Persia) and it was brought to South Asia by Iranian travelers and merchants. Local variants of this dish are popular not only in South Asia but also in Southeast Asia, Arabia, and within various South Asian communities in Western countries.
I love their Biryani rice...the mixed of the spices and the bite of the rice is simply Swaadish(delicious/very tasty)!
Onion and Potato Pakoras(garbanzos/chick pea batter...something like hummus in flour, potatoes, onion) with tamarind sauce...I love the combination of the pakoras and the tamarind sauce. Simply delish!
Fish Curry Just imagine the best chiken curry, but change the meat into fish. :)
Papadum or simply papad- thin and crispy flat bread served with yogurt chutney with coriander...their version simply melts in your mouth and it's very, very delicious too!
Raaz Mahal Caramel Cake (with pistachios on top)3 3 3 At first we thought this was the Gulab Jamun Celebratory Cake, but it turned out to be the Raaz Mahal Caramel Cake. The Gulab Jamun traditional celebratory desserts are roundish small sweets.
Strawberry Lassi Strawberry flavoured yogurt drink
Mutton Korma/Lamb Curry Delightful!
Sabzi simply means Vegetarian... Raaz Mahal's sabzi is mixed veggies cooked in herbs and spices. ;)
