Happiness in a bun from Alabang Town Center's Burger Day | iMunch
The best thing that I love when it comes to living down south is the fact that in Alabang Town Center, there's a couple of Food Holidays to celebrate for every month of the year! I got to partake in this year's last holiday- BURGER DAY before the year ends, and I'm here to report on how things went and how awesome the burgers different restaurants of ATC tasted.
8 Cuts Burgers and Blends
8 Cuts Burgers are creative and yummy! The burger deal is that for any burger that you buy, you'll get their classic cheeseburger.
I got the Slappy J, which kinda resembles a burger bed of nachos, with a bit of kick from the jalapeños that came with it. Loved this as it is spicy and flavorful and their cheeseburger is one of the best that I have ever tasted.
Another favorite of mine is the 4 cheese burger but then if you've been reading my food posts you'll know that I'm a bit biased when it comes to cheese. So if you're a cheese-o-holic such as myself, get this one cause it has yellow cheddar, monterey jack cheese, parmesan crusted mozzzarella with a sprig of fried basil on top. It's like the meatier side of a grilled cheese sandwich, and yes, I felt love at first bite.
Another thing that I recommend is their onion rings, which I got gaga over for cause it's got the perfect batter-onion ratio, is crunchy without too much breadcrumbs/flour and would you even believe it- NON GREASY! I think I've died and gone to heaven, cause with those attributes and the seasoning that they did with the rings, it's best served hot and still awesome cold. :)
Chili's
Chili's deal was that if you order a bacon burger, you'd get an old timer burger, free of charge! My opinion of the bacon burger is that it would've been ALMOST perfect, it's just that I find the bacon way too much like hard candy that I ended up taking it off and going for the succulent patties and awesome fries that come with it instead. The Old Timer Burger is your typical american burger in my taste, that's been supersized to match my hungry appetite. :)
The drink that I got was a strawberry mojito which is awesomely delicious, and it kinda helped in burning the burgers that I had recently downed.
This is Chili's Molten Chocolate Cake, the very insanely crazy delicious desert that helped us get over the food coma we are experiencing with the burger flavors. A delightful blend of cool vanilla ice cream and hot choco lava cake I think this is THE one dish that I'll be coming back for in Chili's.
OutBack
With Outback, you'd get an Outbacker for every Typhoon Burger that you buy. They both really taste quite the same in terms of the patty, very juicy and you can also taste the flavorful blend, and the difference is that The Typhoon Burger is served with onion rings on top, and you can also have a choice of American or Swiss Cheese to be added on your burgers. TBH, the burgers that Outback serves can already feed 2 girls or a guy with a big appetite, and have no more room for dessert. :)
The Typhoon Burger
The OutBacker
A Strawberry-Redbull mocktail concoction to help down the burgers. Tasted a bit like a drinkable strawberry Monami candy. YUM!
Tony Roma's
Tony Roma's patties for their burger is a bit more focused on the actual beef flavor. Sometimes, less is really MORE, and in this case, Tony Roma's did best with that statement. The coleslaw that came as a side is so perfect for the beefy flavor that the Roma Burger has, and the home cooked fries are also just perfection.
With burger day's deals, Tony Roma's gave away a Roma burger for every classic Cheeseburger bought. :)
Pepperlunch
The mother of all burger steaks with rice combo has come to the Philippines in form of Pepper Lunch's Hamburg Steak. It's a couple of premium beef patties served in a cast iron sizzling plate, with veggies, egg on the side, and a serving of steamed Japanese rice . Personally, I'd love this with a little more corn, and the rice mixed in with the whole thing. Be wary though that since this is Pepper Lunch, the patties do have an extra kick from the pepper that's infused within the patty.
Size Matters
For Size Matters, their combo deal is that you get a couple of Jr. Burgers (sliders) for every The Works burger bought. As for the taste the burger does have the WORKS in this sandwich, from bacon to caramelized onions to a patty that's slightly crispy out and yet perfectly juicy within. YUM!
The Size Matters restaurant doesn't kid when they say Size Matters. Just refer to the photo below to see what I mean. ;)
Stacker's
Great chicken and yummy burgers are sure to fill your tummy at Stackers. Although I do have a bit of a pet peeve with the service as it is a bit slow, they did serve with a smile and they are very accomodating. So the deal is that if you get the All American Loft Burger (below),
You can get this Crazy American Burger for free. :) Love the mustard sauce that they used here, as well as the patty which is just the right amount of juicy. As for the flavor of the burger as a whole, it's your standard neat little sandwich. ;)
To end this awesomely delish post, here is Alabang Town Center's Food Holiday Calendar for the incoming year 2016! I'm especially excited for the hot and spicy food day, along with cocktail day, steak, shrimp, pasta, cake and of course, next year's incoming Burger Day! Happy new year guys!
