My
dining experience at Bistro Filipino by Chef Laudico at Bonifacio Global City
months ago was gratifying so I was really looking forward to try their Filipino
buffet restaurant, Chef Laudico Guevarra’s.
Since
it is our first time to go at Guevarra's last October 3, we find it difficult to locate
the place--387 P. Guevarra St.
cor. Argonne St., Addition Hills, San Juan. After asking for directions, we finally arrived at a white-painted ancestral house. The lighting and the garden
gives it an old romantic charm.

Here
are the dishes (from what I can remember):
An
assortment of starters/appetizers-- radish cucumber salad, macaroni salad,
steamed vegetables, longganisa, squid, lumpiang ubod, angus beef, grilled
chicken, liempo, chicken skin, camote croquettes, fried danggit, calamares,
seafood pizza, karnevorous pizza and vegetarian pizza.
Interesting
main dishes like--fish escabeche dory, seafood ala pobre, chilli garlic alimasag,
halabos na hipon, fried chicken adobo, chicken pastel, beef kaldereta and dinuguan.
They
also have seafood tinola and roast angus beef.
And
what a better way to cap the night--with sweets! From suman balls, maja
blanca, leche flan, tablea and ice cream. Included in the buffet are the
softdrinks and iced tea.

Here’s
what I had:
- - I liked the macaroni salad even if it is
sweeter than the usual macaroni salads.
- - Black paella is good though they need to add
more ingredients (It only has a small quantity of squid and egg!)
- - The pizzas are unflavorful, cold and
dry.
- - I was expecting a different fried chicken adobo
but it turned out to be fried chicken cooked in sauce that doesn’t taste like
adobo at all.
- - Chicken pastel, beef kaledereta and pinakbet
bagnet were all good!
- - Leche flan and maja blanca are both deliciously
creamy.
- - I wonder why their chocolate ice cream tastes
like coffee. Ube ice cream is delicious but is sort of “watery”.
With
such an ambiance, good service and extensive menu, I can say that Guevarra’s price
is “affordable.” Although with regards
to taste and quality of food, Bistro Filipino is much better (in my opinion).
