K208 Grill (Caloocan)

Another hidden gem around Caloocan City, K208 Grill is a Korean BBQ restaurant located along Deparo Road. It can be easily found since it's just literally just on the side of the road. They offers Korean inspired grilled barbecue with side dishes that complements taste fit for Filipinos and Korean-food lovers.

As you can see above, eating in K208 Grill will not be going to be hard on your wallet. They doesn't have a time limit as well unlike other place which only gives you 2 hours maximum. 

The first thought that came into my mind when we came inside is the place is it just looks like most corner restaurants in South Korea that I saw in most dramas. You know, when the main characters just wants to eat and they have this secret place where they pour their feelings and all the jazz? Yeah. What they lack in space and made up for their neatness and I find their chairs that are recycled mini drums so cute!

We enjoyed the food. The side dishes may not be very extensive but they make up for the selection and the taste! I particularly loved their Kimchi which they also sell per pack for 100php! It's a must try!

Instalog (Caloocan)

Another discovery in the North, Instalog is not an average food shop within the busy corners of Vicas, along Camarin road in Caloocan City. It might look small and simple, but their offerings is quite extensive which makes it really impressive for me. I have seen this a lot of times as the Vicas is where the jeepneys that I ride to is passing by. I was curious, alright. But I know that one of these days, I'll probably just have the time to have a taste and visit them soon.

Despite their space being small, they made sure to utilize the space by having smaller wooden tables and chairs to accommodate more customers. The place is also open so it is airy and you won't feel suffocated. It may look quaint but it is clean inside. No weird smell or something.

My cousin already ate here once, so she told me that they are really cheap but good. So I already expected something from them. I was quite surprised to see that they have a lot of food in their menu. I mean, it's not really a lot, but for a canteen-like feels of the place, aside from tapsilog and the likes, they also have a few desserts and soups.

Since I wasn't really that hungry and I immediately crave for mami when I saw that they have it, that's what I ordered.

My cousin, on the other hand ordered this. I tasted it and it might be a little salty for others because of the breading but it's good. And for its price, I am sure you'll think it is worth every penny.

Our desserts are these: Saba con yelo and Mais con yelo.

Mine's the Saba con yelo and my cousin wanted Mais con yelo.

At first glance after it was served, I was kind of worried that the ice already melted on the milk since you won't see any ice on the surface. I just shrugged my shoulder off and enjoyed the mami, same as my cousin enjoying her food. When it was time to eat our dessert, lo and behold! There's like an iceberg underneath the mais and the saba and it's still big! I was really surprised amidst the time that we consumed before eating the dessert.

This is a much recommended place. They have other branches as well.
