Travel +63 🛫 The Pearl of the Orient Seas 🇵🇭 Calamba | Tagaytay | Pasay

This Adobo Rice doesn’t shout, it simmers. Pork belly cling to smoky garlic, each grain soaked in that bold vinegar-soy rhythm that feels like home. It’s one of those dishes that stays on your mind long after you’ve polished off the plate. Legit craving for another plate already 》₱345

Gerry’s grilled squid delivers that smoky sear with just enough chew to keep things interesting. Sidekicks like pickled veg and cucumber salad keep things fresh. Hearty portion and good for sharing or solo feasting 》₱605

Kare Kare usually comes with oxtail, but Gerry’s takes a clever detour with crispy pork belly instead. It’s a texture flip that works, adding crunch where there’s usually melt-in-your-mouth richness. The real star here is that thick, creamy and nutty peanut sauce. The veg stays crisp and hold their bite 》₱615

Crispy pork, tangy onions, garlic doing its thing with an egg that hits the hotplate and turns everything silky and indulgent. It’s loud, greasy, and unapologetically good.

The kind of messy comfort we dive into before heading back to Singapore. One last plate of flavour-packed chaos before life resets 》₱380

Tender squash, okra, green beans and juicy shrimp swimming in a creamy coconut gravy that’s light but loaded with flavour. Each bite balances crunch and softness, earthy sweetness and briny richness. The light coconut gravy ties it all together — creamy, fragrant and not too rich 》₱305

Bought a couple pastries home for breakfast the next day and no regrets. The Pain au Chocolat keeps it classic with flaky layers, warm chocolate nestled inside and just the right amount of richness.

The Banana Crostata has this mellow, buttery vibe going on. Crisp edges, soft center and banana that’s tender without turning soggy.

Dropped by Wildflour and couldn’t resist grabbing a couple of pastries. The Mango Cheesecake Danish is flaky, lush, and just the right amount of indulgent. Feel like cheesecake went on a tropical getaway and brought back sunshine.

The Market Fruit Brioche feels like a soft hug in pastry form. Light, slightly sweet dough topped with fresh mango and strawberries. The combo’s bright, juicy, and gives it a refreshing lift.

Ube ice cream came through like a champ. Rich, creamy, and straight-up addictive. The kind of scoop you wish blanketed the whole bowl. That alone made it worth digging in.

The red beans didn’t pull their weight — too firm, probably kept frozen too long. Most toppings had that pre-prepped feel, which makes sense for fast food, but took away some of the freshness and balance. I would still return just for that ube scoop 》₱95

Crispy fried chicken with a touch of Chinese-style spice. Crackly skin, juicy inside and that savoury brown gravy that’s oddly reminiscent of KFC’s whipped potato sauce. Comes with egg fried rice, pancit canton (Filipino-Chinese stir-fried noodles), and chicharap (prawn crackers) 》₱210

Crispy battered fish topped with a light, fruity sweet & sour sauce, more mellow than tangy. Comes with egg fried rice, pancit canton (Filipino-Chinese stir-fried noodles) and chicharap (prawn crackers). Seasoning stays simple and easygoing, perfect when you want a bit of everything without going all in 》₱240

Juicy chicken and pork belly soaking in a thick, garlicky adobo sauce that’s big on savoury and light on sour. Crispy garlic bits are everywhere. Crunchy, golden and generous. The meat’s tender, the sauce’s bold, and rice is non-negotiable 》₱410

Crunchy pork bits, creamy mayo, and crispy chicharon all sizzling on a hot plate. Rich, punchy and packed with texture. The garlic and onions add a savoury kick. Every bite hits that sweet spot between bold and comforting. Definitely best with rice to soak up all the goodness 》₱595
