A Taste of Marison's ~ Restaurant Review

 

I was out gallivanting with my husband at Robinson's Mall in Antipolo when hunger striked.   We saw this fairly new restaurant,

Marison's at the malls Al Fresco area and decided to give it a try.

  

 They offer traditional Filipino Cuisine with a twist. They have reinvented our all too common Filipino dishes and made them special.

  

 

We ordered

 

Pinakbet using bagoong balayan (P220). 

I thought I ordered healthy, until I saw the lechon kawali (lol).

 

 Deep fried "kesong puti" with pineapple sambal dip (P295)

 
 
Empanada with papaya and pork fillings (P255)

 

VERDICT:

• I love the modern twist Marison did to their menu. The changes were not over the top, so the original flavor is still there, but better.
• An order is good for 2-3 pax, not bad for an average P300 per dish.
• Staff were fine, but would really need to be more attentive, we were there on a busy day, so that is forgiven, 
• It was just me and hubby that day, so we were not able to order to much.  I would love to return with my family and order their house specialties balut tempura, tuna shanghai, chicken binakol and pasta Chinoy.

 

The Marison's branch we have visited is located at UG Robinson's Mall Antipolo, Sumulong Higway Antipolo City.

Ace Lunch Buffet Review

I am not a real fan of buffet restaurants,  I am quickly overwhelmed by the so many selections, I end up with  just 2-3 viands on my plate... in short "lugi".

Ace Water Spa Buffet, at the Ace Coffee Lounge, however is an exception!  Lunch buffet at the Ace Coffee Lounge is a perfect way to end your day after a 4 hours hydro-massage at the famed spa.

Our last visit was with relatives from the US,  

we were so famished from the water spa and got to try everything :P

I was busy eating, I lost track of the dishes' names (One thing I am certain of, they all tasted great)

The Salad Bar...

Grilled squid and chicken barbeque.

Here is the ramen spread...

Paella

Chicken pot pie is another one of my favoritessss.

Waiting for my tempura.

Roast pork was really flavorful.

Must try fish fillet (I think I came back for this a couple of times).

Shabu-shabu

The Pasta Bar... my mom had her fill of both red and white sauced pasta dishes (I had to tell her 3x to move on)...

Maki galore :P

Make your own "halo-halo (here is a tip: put plenty of ube and leche flan on your halo-halo

There are also cakes and ice cream; Or if you want to wash of your guilt fruit plates to finish your meal.

Drinks, coffee and tea are also included in bill.
