Prime Cafe - B Hotel Alabang

Came here few months ago for dinner with friends and sampled a few items on the menu and was very happy with the food. Quality is fresh, flavour is plenty and quantity is just right. Once inside, the cozy restaurant felt warm and welcoming. We started with the Miso Soup with chunks of salmon. Next, the pork sisig, gambas, Crispy pata, and finally, the Beef Salpicao. While Prime Cafe's version of Gambas was interesting and tasty, the Sisig just had a little too much mayonnaise for my liking. Also, the Beef Salpicao taco didn't really have a good Salpicao flavor. It tasted a bit off. I like mine bursting with flavor. Garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce should all dominate. The Crispy Pata was definitely crunchy, flavorful, and the dipping sauce that came with it was just yum! I'd order that again. All of that being said, though, I'd definitely go back to Prime Cafe. I appreciate the creativity of the menu without it feeling pretentious. If you are ever on this side of town, stop by at Prime Cafe for some delicious yet affordable grub. instagram.com

I was surprised to get an invite to a foodie meet-up in the South. I am from Marikina, and I don't often go too far, but since I haven't been here, plus my foodie friends were also invited, I decided to go.  We started with their version of miso soup. I am very picky when it comes to miso soup, but this one's one of the best among the very few in my foodie book. It has shrimp and salmon chunks! It's something I'd want to sip (or devour haha) when I have a cold or cough.  We had four viands: gambas, sisig, crispy pata, and salpicao. I loved the first two so much because even without rice, they tasted so good, especially the gambas! The shrimps were seasoned well and had a generous amount of bell pepper slices. The sisig would have tasted better without too much mayo, but it was still quite good. The crispy pata was a bit dry, but its accompanying dipping sauce was perfect! Lastly, the salpicao tasted like adobo pretending to be salpicao. :(  For dessert, we had the Belgian chocolate cake, which I finished in 5 minutes or less. Hahaha! It's not the best chocolate cake I've tasted, but it was good enough.  Thank you to Zomato and Prime Cafe for this event! Overall, the food's good, but not something I'd come back for anytime soon. youtube.com

The as the ambiance is very chill and relaxed, it is perfect for dinner dates or just chilling out with family on a sunday, as well as conducting business meetings. Their Crispy Sisig is a sort of hit and miss for me. Talking about the positives of this dish, the sisig had a pretty awesome taste and crunch to it, and that alone is addicting enough for me. The sad part of this dish is that it had a little too much mayonnaise for me. I think this dish could very well improve a LOT if they would just hold back on the mayo for a bit and let the star of the dish shine, which is the pork sisig. Sizzling Gambas is so PERFECT. Upon first bite of the shrimp itself, you can tell that the stuff is fresh, has that smokey grilled taste and is cooked perfectly. There is very little sauce but this plate is exploding with flavor and is hitting all the right notes. The Crispy Pata, is absolutely HEAVENLY, and it's also my favorite dish out of all I tried there. The one thing that I always look forward to whenever I eat crispy pata (or crispy belly) is the skin part. It has to be really crunchy and not a pain in the teeth to eat. The meat as well has to get the perfect balance of not too oily, not too dry and should also be well seasoned. And really, Prime Cafe's Crispy Pata nailed all of what I look for in said dish. I just can't stop eating the stuff, which is already okay on it's own, but the flavors are really intensified when you dip it in their sauce. For dessert we had Chocolate cake with Belgian Chocolate shavings on top. I really loved this cake, but I feel that the syrup drizzled kinda made the thing be out of balance and become a little too sweet for my taste.
