Late Night Snacking at 8 Street Bites Restaurant

Right after watching the 6:30pm screening of Maleficent at SM Manila last Friday, my mom, my two sisters and I had a late snack at 8 Street Bites Restaurant, also on the fourth level. It’s fairly new, serves American-Mexican fast food and we had never eaten there until that night.

and interior

We were supposed to get only snack items from the menu but mom wanted to try the chicken tenders that happened to be a rice meal. And so she did. She shared that with my sister Nyam who got an order of fries to pair with the chicken tenders. They both thought it was good. An order had five chunky pieces. The chicken was deep-fried, crispy on the outside but the meat retained its juices somehow. The sauce that came with it was honey mustard and tasted yummy, too. I knew because I had a bite of the chicken with it. Haha.


Chicken Tender Bites, P148


Nyam's fries, P28

My sister Jodie and I, on the other hand, shared Freeway Nachos (P98) and a Banoffee Pie (P58). The nacho sauce was delicious but tasted like it came straight from the can. (Not that it was a bad thing, just saying.) It had a few kidney beans and meat. There were fresh tomatoes, onions, sour cream and cheese sauce on top, too.



This banofee pie satisfied my sweeth tooth. It was pretty basic but I liked the thick cream a lot.

For the small food servings, I thought the prices were just right. The service was a bit slow during our visit and I guess the staff felt that, too. We ended up getting a complimentary dessert in the form of a pana cotta which had a good balance of creaminess and sweetness.



I’d love to go back to this resto and try the other items soon. :)

KFC's Cheesy BBQ Meltz: Chiz-Sarap to the Last Bite!

KFC's Cheesy BBQ Meltz is the newest addition to KFC's already extensive menu.I tried it Friday night with Edwin when we had a quick dinner at KFC-Mendiola. What can I say? This new treat from KFC is delicious and oozing with Mexican flavors.



Imagine a medium-sized toasted tortilla stuffed with melted Mozzarella cheese, crushed nachos, tomatoes, mushrooms and chicken fillet chunks in cheesy-mayo dressing. Take a bite and let your palates enjoy the good sensations: the gooey Mozzarella, the sweet and tangy taste of tomatoes and mayo dressing, the chewy toasted tortilla and the tasty chicken fillet.



I love how the different flavors played inside my mouth.It's like you're munching on nachos, chicken burger, tacos and tortilla wrap in one. (Forget about the calories. It sure has a load of those.)


For P85, KFC's Cheesy BBQ Meltz is not friendly to students with average baon. I guess the target market of this product is the working population. And given the size, which cannot be shared by two people with big appetite, the price seems a bit harsh.

At least the poster isn't lying as to what you should expect, except that it looks neat which is the opposite when you start touching it (one medium-sized tortilla sliced into four). I tell you, it's gonna be super messy you will have to eat slowly and carefully. Unless of course you're in the confines of your home away from the prying stares of other diners.


But I digress.


KFC Cheesy BBQ Meltz is well worth your money if you're someone who appreciates good fast food. I say it's chiz-sarap to the last bite. :)
