Enjoy a spacious but inviting welcome at Francesco's Kitchen and be delighted to the remarkable interiors, including a brick foyer that looks like a stylish fireplace that is also gives a great display of equipment and the kitchen for your eye's feast.

It is a perfect place to take your friends and family and enjoy the great tasting authentic Italian food, wine or cocktails. Large group or small, Chef Francesco along with Francesco's Kitchen's staff will give you a time that you will never forget.

Try his Le polpette di mamma which is so special to Chef Francesco Rizzo because the recipe has been transferred from two generations of his family and very much different from the usual meatball sauce that we are used to taste.

But my favorite is Filleto di cernia that is tastes so fresh and tasty, and perfect with wine. The flavorful grouper with its umami sauce and seafood on the side makes it a perfect dinner.

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.
