Yellow Cab Man vs. Pizza: Baliwag, Bulacan

Rix Francisco ate an 18" pizza so fast, some of the other contestants were still on their first slice. 

Yellow Cab Grand Opening
Baliwag Branch

Yellow Cab is one of the top international pizza chains in the Philippines. Their branch opening held last Feb. 12, 2016 was a great success. The staff was able to accommodate and make 100 of their 6" pepperoni and Hawaiian pizzas to give away to the first one hundred customers to line up. There was a very short waiting time from the signing up to get the free pizza until one was given.

Yellow Cab Baliwag is located in the front area of this town's SM, easily accessed from the parking area. It provides food delivery and the service vehicles are those familiar yellow Vespas. This branch has two access doors which are from the front of the mall and inside, right beside the Starbucks. There is outside seating near both doors.

The welcoming food was set, and it was the first time that I had tried the Charlie Chan pasta which is Thai-inspired and the craft pizza which was topped with smoked salmon and dill. That pizza is dreamy, and one a personal note, smoked salmon is one of my favorite food items. This craft pizza is only available for a limited time.

The Man vs. Pizza event stared at 5 pm. It was held in the activity area of the mall. The audience was enthusiastic and responsive - and the vibes showed that the interest in the contest was intent. The seats were all full and there were many who were watching while standing.

I participated in the first batch and was so excited as I has a whole 18" New York pizza to devour in 30 minutes. As soon as I started eating the pizza, I knew that it was going to be very difficult for me to eat that much - but I just kept going, bite after bite after bite. Then, there came that moment that is called "hitting the wall". I could feel the pizza filling up my stomach, and I had to slow down, taking smaller bites. I looked at the other contestants and saw that they were still going for it. The countdown to the last few minutes began, and that 2 minutes call seemed to be the longest minute of my life as I still would not give up. Well, in the end, I got 5th place out of five contestants and state that in the Yellow Cab Baliwag (Cindy) Man vs. Pizza contest, pizza won. It was a totally enjoyable experience as the pizza was so good.

The 2nd batch of participants for the Yellow Cab Man vs. Pizza event included the food challenge eating champion, Rix Francisco. It was amazing to watch him eat the pizza, standing up, with the jiggle move to make it go down, and he had rhythm, which was bite, bite, sip water.

The crowd surged nearer the stage. It became standing room only. The eating feat was fantastic, something that I have never seen before. The four other participants lagged behind, while there was one that was simply stunned, just staring at 'the man'. You may watch his final few bites in this Facebook video.

The Man vs Pizza event was fantastic.
I totally enjoyed the experience of participating and watching Rix Francisco.

Comparative Burger Review: Xander's Diner, Zark's and BBB

Move aside Zark's and Big Better Burgers: Xander's has awesome burgers! 

Their burgers are one of the best I have ever tried with pure beef patties, just like what you would eat in the US. The bread is made in-house. The burgers are a stand-out, along with the other dishes such as the steak. The fries are the real thing, with skin on, and totally satisfied my "potato-fix" craving.

Comparative Burger Review: Zark's, Big Better Burgers, and Xander's

I have tried all 3 burgers, and even when it comes to the smallest burger of Xander's, the patty is larger and thicker than the others. Those other burgers have store-bought bread while this resto has the hamburger buns that is freshly-baked and has the creamy consistency without a lot of air pockets, and that perfect mound of browned crust. And, when it comes to texture, flavor, and what it is loaded with, Xander's is surely a lot better. 

Xander's Diner is located at Las Pinas, along Alabang-Zapote road. It is in front of Star Mall, just beside the Petron gas station and the overhead walkway.

Affordable, one can get unli rice meals for the same price as popular fast food restaurants. The quality of the food is excellent and the quantity? You'll get more than what you paid for as the servings are hefty. Filling and fulfilling, when you want the best at affordable prices, Xander's Diner has the choices. There are unli rice meals at Xander's and they have this Honey BBQ fried chicken that will tell Bon Chon to move aside. And, this resto has an excellent steak, too!

 

Xander's has the ambiance of the typical American diner, with those cool couches and a milkshake bar. The area has a small coffee and cake shop, an outdoor dining and smoking area, a private function room for twenty people, and a large function room for parties and other events.  

If you are going to the South, it is worth the trip. If you live in the South, it is a must-go to. The Xander's burger experience is unbeatable - and while you are at it, you might want to try the steak, too, but you surely won't be able to handle eating all in one trip - and you'll be doing what most of Xander's customers do - leave the place with a large smile, holding their take-home food. For those in the Las Pinas area, you'll be glad to know that Xander's Diner can be ordered through FoodPanda.
