Buddy's Restaurant - Pinoy na Pinoy!

I'm not 100% certain but I believe my friends and I used to eat at a place called Buddy's somewhere in Makati. It wasn't much - just a small spot on the side of the road with a few tables. But we must have frequented that place for a reason - either good food, cheap price or both.

 

The Buddy's restaurant in Eastwood is much bigger and had a fiesta theme. It was almost embarrassing to go in - just too many things going on. Plus, the waiters are trained to shout "Welcome to Buddy's, dito parang lagging fiesta" when people come in. Like I said, embarrassing.

After ordering from the counter (fast food style), we took one of the benches. It only took a few moments for the food to be served. Impressive!

 

The specialty of the house is Pancit and Longganisa. I wasn't really in the mood for pancit, so I decided to try the Longganisa Lucban (P120) instead. To be honest, there wasn't anything special about it. It was good, but tasted like any other longganisa from that area.

 

The Pork BBQ (P155), on the other hand, was really good. It had the typical pinoy sauce brushed on it. You can never go wrong with BBQ, IMHO. I can live on BBQ alone.

 

I also really liked the Sisig (P155). It found its way to the top of my list, along with Gerry's and Aysee's. It's not crunchy (a bit soggy actually) but it  was really good. Extra hot sauce please!

 

And finally, we got the Hardinera (P120). I had no idea what it was, but was told that it's like embutido or everlasting. Had to try it, and wasn't disappointed. I think I still prefer the Everlasting cooked by my friend Sexy's mom, but this will definitely do.

My apologies for the tacky title and the rushed content. This review has been in my queue for a couple of days now and I'm just writing this down while waiting for my food. And now my steak is here :)
