Congo grille:

try congo grille's monster burger. for the price it's monster for a burger
coz it priced at 195 pesos but the taste is absolutely good.
the burger patty is not just an ordinary patty it sized 4 to 5 times
of the regular patty. and the way they plate the food it's good
and the way they threat with the costumer is also good.

rate for the food 3.8/5
ambience 3.5/5

Burger Joint



I had little recollection as to what I bought here 2 years ago. And now after a few years, I was able to visit Burger Joint again. The same orange and blue color scheme greeted me with a sense of familiarity! I'd like to apologize for the blurry photo, used my handy x10 mini to capture my visit.



The simple menu which would strain your neck if you are uncertain which one to order! You can view the photos with their prices overhead. Decided to get the Bacon Mushroom Cheeseburger and my companion ordered the Spicy Salsa Burger. You get a choice of side dishes: french fries, onion rings and potato chips. I went for the onion rings and my friend chose potato chips. They have Pepsi products and or Nestea Iced Tea which is included in the meal.

The wait wasn't that long and the place was not packed at all. The small area has 5 four seater tables and al fresco. Yes, you can smoke while you wait or smoke after eating. This is located near a beer house and would you believe, a Korean Restaurant as well!

The chef served our food. Let me tell you that the chef is an eye candy. You might like to visit and eat.



The onion rings were the bomb!



I have had my bacon cheeseburger from Dong Juan and it was THE burger to be reckoned with!



What I loved about this was the juicy, beefy patty! Not the kind you would have on fastfood. Succulent meaty goodness at every bite. I am a self-confessed cheese fiend and this was not too overpowering. I love that it was well balanced. The sweetness comes from the meat, fresh greens from the iceberg lettuce and of course the bacon that was the star of the whole meal! ♥



I rarely liked spicy food and this was an exemption. This was really great! The sauce had this barbecue hint to it. The patty was pulpy. Grilled to perfection! The juices from the burger was really sweet, an indication of it's freshness. It was a very messy meal! :P

The aftermath.

They deliver! Too bad I live on the next island however they only ask for a minimum order of Php250 only within Cebu area. Not entirely sure if the cute Chef will deliver it personally.

Opened last Tuesday, May 22nd to the Cebu foodie. The place can hold as much as 40 guests. Well-ventilated and was really clean. You might ask what the arc is all about. This is the Quonset is a design which was developed during the WW II to house troops and their supplies. Made from corrugated steel, this was the shelter the troops used. The name was derived from the area where this was first made which was near Quonset Point in Rhode Island. The question now is however do you pronounce it? :P



The place is located in the new building at the corner of Pardiga Street and Geonzon. Just head out to Chicken' Beer and walk straight to the next building. You know you are there when you see a tarp saying C24 will open along with Starbucks. Trust me, no one hardly knows the place and you will not get lost out in the jungle that is IT Park. I got excited when a foursquare friend checked-in this week. And vowed that I will get there and I did! :P



Mission Accomplished!

I remembered how Prince spoke highly of this as one of the best places he has been to. And you gotta trust his taste in everything! And when I thought that I only will get to hear about the place from friends or friends. They then migrated here in Cebu! Hells yeah! FTW!



The place was packed when we arrived and there were only a few tables left open for new guests. We headed straight to the counter. Just click the photo below to view the prices. :O



The menu was enough to tell you what they had and what to expect. We decided to get the Burger and Steak Burrito and shared a large Libertea. I only have a Php500 dine out budget and this has been the tradition in every food review I do. I need not spend a lot on food to satisfy my hunger. Yes, I am stingy!


It sure is! :P



This was the first time I ever had a burrito. Don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food I could say that I am not that well rounded with all of them yet. It consists of a wheat flour tortilla folded into a sort of cylindrical shape to enclose the filling. Fillings include plain rice, beans, veggies, meat and cheese. Yes, it is filling!



Along with the burrito, you get a salsa made from garlic, finely chopped tomato with a slice of fresh lime. Just like any novice, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Luckily, you have this how-to photo. And so I did, I was hoping I would like it better with the procedure. I just wasn't sure! Honestly, I am not much of a fan of burritos; I am more of a quesadilla and taco fan. The tortilla was not the plain type, it had spices which I have no idea as to what. All I know is the taste is new to me and I need to get used to it.







The burger was really great. The patty wasn't as juicy as I wanted it to be just like what I had in Burger Joint. It seemed like it was the frozen patty and then grilled. I guess it was. This could be the case since they just opened. They sure will get their local supplier set in the next few weeks. Having this in mind, the burger does not disappoint mind you! It was great due to the fact that the vegetables were really fresh. A thick slice of tomato, onion, a quarter pound of ground beef, drizzled with cheese and some iceberg lettuce. I was certainly not a fan of sesame seeds unless it is on a bun like this or on a cold Mochiko. Did I mention you can add sautéed onions, cheese for the cheese sluts and yes all hail BACON? :b



The house blend tea is called Libertea which is aptly named. Refreshing taste and worth every penny. Sorry for the sucky photos.I was in a rush to snap everything and get my hands working with my meal.

Since it was sort of the night rush, we finished our food and headed out for the Gabii sa Kabilin. Will come back next payday and try the Freedom Fries, Quesadilla and the Ube Shake.

Word will spread and people will swarm here soon. Grab a friend and visit the place!

[ARMY NAVY] - got myself a classic burger with cheese and bacon, onion rings and iced tea combo. verdict: huge burgers (P155 + P30 for bacon and cheese) but the bacon was not the fatty kind like the one you get from Wendy's, more like lean ham, I WANT FATTY BACON STRIPS IN MY BURGER, tomatoes are sweet (yum!), patties thick but frozen - they're just hmmmm o-kay. I was more impressed with the size.
