Hey guys, I'm back for another food review and this time, I have ventured along Mandaluyong particularly in SM Megamall Fashion Hall side.
So, a lot of things has been happening and I'm in the mood to shop and of course find a good place to eat and ever since the new "Fashion Hall" was launched I always have an eye to check out this new joint called 8 Cuts Burger Blends.
Alright girls and boys, I'm a tell you about my recent experience and share you my thoughts of this place.
Ambiance/Overall set-up
I'd say I'd give them a rating of 3 out of 5 as the place kind of feel retro/futuristic to me which is nice, the tables and chairs are somewhat comfortable. I'd say it's a little bit small but I know it's kind of a fast food restaurant thing but some people would also like to eat and get comfortable and chit chat a bit. The glass kitchen is also one good attraction to this place. I like the feel where you can see the prep and cooking station, it's an attraction that diners can check out while waiting for their food. I'd wish really though the place is a little bit bigger so it doesn't look so congested inside. It clearly reminds me of the U.S. diners that I see when I watch old movies.
The Menu
Since I told you guys that my feel for the place is like a diner, I'd just expect to see regular burgers, fries and the likes. There has been a big array of choices from the so called "best sellers" or the "make your own" specialty burger. So if you're the type to go all out on toppings and you feel the usual serving is not enough, they can customize it for you.

Right below, you see the menu looks like a paper magazine, there is the burger anatomy that explains how it's made, what kind of mean and how it is cooked and serve. Thumbs up, peeps!
Yummers!
I took a sneak peak of the meat, and by just looking at that, I think it's yummy! Nothing beats fresh meat.
The chocolate milkshake was the same, so so, not too sweet, very thick but didn't give me that wow factor.
The verdict on the burger...
The Q-Daddy Burger is what I ordered. It's labeled as a tri-cut meat. A quarter pounder OX blend paty of flank, oxtail and rib eye with yellow cheddar, onion tanglers, crisp bacon strps, iceberg lettuce, tomato, jalapeno ranch and sweetly spiced BBQ sauce all on a Sesame Seed Bum. This retails for 295php and the double patty is at 385php.
I love the meat, I cannot argue with the flavors of the meat and it was cooked perfectly as I requested it (medium rare). I believe that I ordered the double patty here but from the looks of it, its just the typical quarter pounder.
The toppings are great and the sauce is just okay. I was looking for so much more on the sauce though, it's a little bit bland to me. Maybe I'm just looking for more of that push.
Rising Shroom (Single patty at 280php and 375php for double patty) was the next we ordered, it's degined as a mustard-fried quarter pounder "Steak Cut Blend" patty of irloiin and chuck with fried oyster mushroom tempupra, white truffle creamed cheese and sauteed mushrooms, all on a Kaiser Roll.
First off, I love the anything with truffles, I love how it compliments the cream cheese and the meat. I would have loved if it gave justice to the mushroom name, as I'm looking for more mushroom versus the two tiny tempura oyster mushrooms and little bit of the sauteed mushrooms. Nonetheles, I liked this burger more than the Q-daddy.
The last burger I want to touch base in here is the Four Cheese (Single patty 245php and double patty, 345php). It's the Parmesan-crusted quarter -pounder BEEF BOMB BLEND patty of chuck and short ribs, yellow cheddar, aged Gruyere mozzarella arugula, garlic aioli all on a Sesame Seed Bun. Who can say no on cheese right? what more if it's different kind of cheese melted on a good combination of meat. The simplicity of this dish was very empowering and without you knowing it, you consumed it all.
Lastly, this buffalo wings tossed in a sweet and spicy coating mixed with a savory white sauce that reminds me of Charlie's grill buffalo wings. Just the way you like it.
Overall, my experience with this joint is a 3 out of 5. I guess I have to explore more and give it another try to really go in depth. My family liked it especially my dad (a person who rarely gives compliment on dishes bought and cooked outside of our own kitchen).
I love the experience, I'm just looking for something more, but certainly, I'd dine there again but not too soon.
Let me know where you want me to go next? :)
