Short on time but craving quality? Beginning 2026, Burger & Lobster will be your fast, flavorful errand-day fix.

Mom Violy had been craving lobster but was hesitant to try dining at Burger & Lobster. She mentioned the restaurant to a family member, who said the food was delicious but pricey. She told Carmina she wanted to eat there for lunch on Saturday, January 3rd. Since it was the new year, we decided to explore and try something different. Many tables had reservations, but they also accepted walk-ins, just like we did today. Our server handed us the menu. Carmina already knew what she wanted to order: BBQ Beef Ribs for 1,190 pesos ($20.17). Mom Violy and a family member decided to share the Combo One at B&L for 5,290.00 pesos ($89.66), along with garlic rice for 90.00 pesos ($1.53). A family member ordered an Atomic Burger for 695.00 pesos ($11.78) along with a Lobster Mac & Cheese for 990.00 pesos ($16.78).

Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean

 


Carmina didn’t feel like eating the food at home prepared by Manang V, which was beef nilaga and grilled stuffed bangus, due to the humid weather in the Philippines. Eating soup only adds to the heat, especially when the air-conditioner struggles to cool the room.

I decided to go for a salad instead. It felt like a good way to start eating healthy and looking for a place to buy one led me to Medley Modern Mediterranean.

I discovered the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad, which includes romaine lettuce, Israeli salad, wheat, fried eggplant, feta cheese, shrimp, and lemon garlic dressing, all for PHP 379.00 ($7.58).


I thought of getting something extra with my meal in case I wasn't in the mood for the food at home, making it worth the trip in one go. 

I spotted the Levantine Chicken Laffa, which includes chicken thigh, mixed greens, hummus, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, and mamba sauce, priced at PHP 299.00 ($5.98).


I had the chance to try the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean. The dishes were quite different from my usual choices, but it turned out to be a great experience as I discovered a new dish that I genuinely enjoyed.
