The Geisha Modern Japanese Restaurant is a new kid on the block at the Bonifacio High Street Central West Superblock. It is actually owned by an Indian National who also owns the Red Kinmono Chain with branches at the Greenbelt 3 and Fort Strip and it offers japanese cuisine with a twist (having many vegetarian dishes in the menu plus other fusion japanese foods. Theu have a british and a filipino chef who reinterprets the japanese dishes. This is an upscale japanese resturant. They have assorted hot and cold sake wines to compliment the dishes (but I don't usually take sake and a meal). Among their best sellers where is the A5 Kobe Beef Teriyaki Steak (Kobe beef is Japanese wagyu beef, wagyu is a generic term for japanese style beef ok! grading of foreign wagyu is by Grades 1 to 12 while grading of Japanese Kobe Beef is from A1 to A5). Soft Crab Sushi, Sea Bass Gindara, Kurobota Pork Gyozas and more.

Favorite Dish: being a steak man, I ordered the A5 Kobe Beef at just 150 grams at 1,800 pesos an order. The Spider Maki (soft shelled crab) costs 450 pesos, the california maki costs 380 pesos, the sea bass gindara steak at 895 pesos. they also have some set donburi meals like the unagi don at 495 pesos an order and katsudon at 350 pesos an order.

Sonja(Sohn-jah not the Russian pronunciation) Ocampo is now a household name. There are lots of people who go to the Serendra Piazza just to purchase her beautiful and delicious cupcakes.
She is an expert in cupcake making because she worked at the famous New York Magnolia Bakery known for fabulous cupcakes and other baked goodies. Yet, she did not bring a Magnolia Bakery clone here, instead she created her own brand.
She researched about cupcakes and her own creations are what we enjoy now. Ergo, Cupcakes by Sonja is definitely NOT a misnomer.
Some of her creations are too cute to eat, but you just have to dig your teeth into them, because you will regret it more if you don't try them.
She also makes wedding and party cakes.

Bakery Hours:
Sunday to Thursday 10am to midnight
Friday to Saturday 10am to 1am the following day
They are open everyday except Good Friday

Favorite Dish: I love the nutty cupcakes/pies and the ones with berries especially Down Home Blueberry Buckle.
I also love the Valrhona Milk-Choco Hazel Tart...it's oh sooo good.
She can customize cakes and cupcakes for you, your family, your friends, your colleagues, and others.

Mogu(bite) Japanese Shinsen(fresh) Bar and Grill is very cosmopolitan. The interiors are nice and is very spacious inside, and the al fresco section where you can people watch and enjoy your grilled food better, blends with the rest of the Piazza. It has a romantic ambiance, but you can also bring your friends and family here.
Even if they do serve Japanese dishes and are made or directed by a Japanese Chef(Chef Seiji), i think their appeal is more of the Eclectic/International type, than Japanese/Sushi.
The service is great and food tastes wonderful. They are also very pleasing to the eyes.
They only use fresh produce, fish, and meat products and every bite is pleasing.

Mogu is owned by Bingbing Lopez Santos who also owns Don Eduardo's Trattoria and another Japanese restaurant named Sousaku, which literally means creation. Both restaurants are at Salcedo Village in Makati. They also owned AmoRoma in Alabang, Mezzaluna(when Mezzaluna closed, Mogu took over the location) in Serendra, and Bing-Bing's in Salcedo. Now, Amo Roma is in Tagaytay City.
Favorite Dish: Their ramen has the perfect bite(true to the name of Mogu); Their international selections or fusion meals shouldn't be missed: The mezzaluna pizzas, the foie gras, the oysters, sea urchin shooters; Their wagyu steak is also competitive(but of course, I favor Melo's).
Their desserts are also very, very yummy.
Sigh.
I have to go back soon before visiting Chez Karine again.

Agave Mexican Cantina is a favorite watering hole for Yuppies who love margarita, but it has become a popular destination for families who love Mexican food. There are tables and chairs outside the airconditioned room for smokers, just across is the bar. The airconditioned room has a loft for those who want more privacy. The place is cozy. As expected of Mexican motif, bright colors dominate the room decor and furnishings.
The only downside I noticed is the lack of accessibility ramp for those with wheelchair, and for baby strollers. My daughter had a hard time bringing my grandson's stroller inside the airconditioned room
Favorite Dish: I liked all the foods we tried, but my favorites are the Agave Taco Salad (Grande size=P355) and the Chicken & Steak Fajitas (P420). Second favorite is the Ultimo Chicken Chimichangas (P315 for grande size).

Hong Kong Chef Henry Cheung, a kind looking gentleman, owns this place.
My "Big sister", Joscephine Gomez, introduced me to this fabulous place.
There is a welcoming atmosphere and they even serve you with a smile.
I was happy to know that the menu was similar with the Good Earth Menu, because I am quite familiar with it. I love the food!
Oh, and I could even recommend this to lovers as a place for dating. :)
People with disabilities are treated with respect here (and all Good Earth Tea Houses).
Favorite Dish: The vegetarian version of Lily on the pond (My big sister is right in calling it Lotus on a pond because it looks more like a lotus than a lily).
Lily on the pond is usually made with its mix of vegetables and prawns in a spicy curry and chite coconut cream sauces.
They replaced the shrimp with taro and it's very, very...I think ambrosial is the closest description I can think of.

We went to Hap Chan not by choice, but by convenience. All the shops at Bonifacio High Street were still closed; we didn't know they open at 12 noon yet. Since we were already hungry, we thought of having a snack first. We walked to nearby Market! Market! and since Hap Chan was the first restaurant we saw upon crossing the street, we decided to have some dimsums.
I liked the interior decor. The lanterns and furnishings were aptly chosen for the Chinese motif. The dining hall was clean, spacious and didn't look cluttered and cramped like other Chinese restaurants. Service was generally okay though the IDs showed that the waiters were trainees.
Hot house tea was served to diners, but we ordered cold drinks. We expected their dishes to be as delicious as the other dishes we've tried in other Chinese restaurants, but our expectations were not met. The food was not really extraordinary and tasty.
Favorite Dish: I liked their Chicken Feet Dimsum and sharksfin dimsum, but I can't say they were instant favorites.

The name of the restaurant caught my attention. I love Japanese food, especially maki and sushi so I make it a point to try the Japanese restaurants at the mall, whether big restaurant or small. The crowd inside the restaurant also made me think the sushi there must be good.
Favorite Dish: I liked their assorted sushi and California maki. My husband liked their beef curry bento box.

I have not personally tried eating here, but I heard Kamay Kainan is a good option for tasting local foods. You can eat the dishes like the locals do, ala-"kamayan" (eating with your hands), but you can always request for utensils.
