A Hangout That You’ll Surely LAB!

The Lab Gastropub is the latest sanctuary to those foodie lovers who are dying to re-discover a new set of menu. Added with an ambience that delectably rewards your senses, this place is an interesting venue for people who are craving to try out some delicacies with a different twist.
The menu reminded me about my childhood memories of Dexter's Laboratory, a comic cartoon series about science whatsoever.

To begin with, let me introduce you to a must-have for diners, the popular Lab Sisig. Unlike any other sisig, Lab Gastropub had a crunchy meat sung instead of the commonly used chicharon, topped with soft poached egg, chunks of pork plus a spicy twist. The crunch complements its surprisingly irresistible blend of egg, meat and secret spices. Want to know what’s the secret? Try it for yourself!

Best sisig, try it then see for yourself!

 
Well, how about trying out their warm and freshly baked halo-halo? That’s right. It is extremely different to the ordinary halo-halo that we know. The mixture of meringue with melted ice cream and other confections plus the warm and cold temperature brought to your tongue played a great part to this dessert.

Baked Halo-halo, it's like winter meets summer 

The atmosphere is very much different from the loud atmosphere at the nearby bar and restaurants along SM by the Bay. It has a steady place ideal for those who want nothing but to chill and relax.
