No matter how Pinoys say they love adobo and tapsilog, this is still a burger-eating country (okay, bur-jer, if you must.) How else do you think Jollibee made its billions? Hamburger places have mushroomed all over, ranging from the buy one, take one 20 pesos variety to the upscale ones made of Wagyu. Like the Americans, we simply love our beef – the more tender and juicy, the better.
Manila-based carnivores never fail to notice the arrival of new burger destinations in town. And this is the buzz about Stackers Burger Cafe on the Eastwood City Walk, just across Il Pirata. One said their burjers are better than Brothers. Being a first-timer to the place, am not ready to make any judgments. But the overall ambiance and interiors surely looked inviting. The weather was perfectly sunny on the day of our visit, and I swear I felt like I was in California or some other place the day we hang out in Stackers – sipping our soda, fries and sandwiches al fresco while the afternoon sun and breeze set in.
As I wasn’t too hungry yet, I settled for a late lunch of Coke and the Asian Burger Bowl (P138). This was a quarter pound beef patty on a bed of greens, carrots, chopped nuts and what they call their crispy strips. The Oriental dressing went perfectly well with the dish, and I did like this one – thank you.
