Give in to peer pressure with these food spots

UP Town Center is an oasis of food stops that you can dine in large groups.

Barkada
If each person in your barkada has different tastes or particular of any diet, Barkada is here to offer dishes that will satisfy your cravings. For meat or pasta lovers, vegetarians, or anything in between, they will make sure that your needs are met. Their ribs and steak are also scrumptious and tender, perfect match with beer or any of their house beverages.

Beef X Burgers
They started as Big B's in Maginhawa St in Quezon City and now they changed the name and expanded to UP Town Center. Try their literally big burgers with 50% pork and 50% beef patty and cheesy poutine. My favorite is ordering the Pink Potion with Feelings -- it may sound absurd but really hilarious when served. The waiter readily give in their acting skills for you to be entertained with "feelings."

Shawarma Bros
Shawarma for me is a very satisfying street food. Shawarma Bros offers dine-in or grab-and-go of their shawarma. To testify to the goodness of their food, a wall filled of snapshots of previous customers is displayed.

The Barn by Tipsy Pig
Lounge at The Barn by Tipsy Pig or enjoy a viewing of your favorite sports shows. The Barn by Tipsy Pig is a highly-recommended restaurant for groups or even conduct your private corporate meetings. Love the interiors as much as the menu that includes creativity of our common dishes giving it an acceptable twist.

WINGSHACK PH is a whacking goodness

The first time I tried the Truck Park in Marikina City in support of a good friend. He is the owner of WingShack, one of the tenants offering chicken wings at a very affordable price. You can't fail to find it as it was directly in front of the entrance.

But first, you need to need to get a Load Card at the Cashier which you can use to avail the goods inside Truck Park. Then we tried two of WingShack's best-sellers, the Cheesy Jalapeno and the Xavian Wings.

I admit that I have low heat tolerance so I cannot finish a whole serving of Cheesy Jalapeno. I'd love it for the cheese. And besides, WingShack is very generous with their water so I can just chase for the pail for a gulp of cold water. The Xavian Wings is an original recipe. It has the perfect crispiness but tender and juicy chicken flesh drenched in a sweet and salty medley. Definitely a must-try.
