Marison's - Taytay

The place is bright, cool, and homey. We tried three dishes. The first is the Deep Fried Kesong Puti that features wonton filled kesong puti, served with pineapple sambal dip. The cheese is not salty, and is well complemented by the sweet-spicy dip. Masarap naman, mamantika nga lang.  Second on our table is the Pork Sinigang. Compared to the sinigang na baboy that we're accustomed to, this dish is not sharply sour. Malalasahan mo yung asim pero bitin. The pork pieces in this dish are juicy and tender, while the vegetables are crisp and fresh. Last is the Grilled Salmon sa Miso that features a big piece of Norwegian salmon with a honey-miso glaze, served with bok choy and half a peach. DELICIOUS! Probably one of the best salmon dishes we've had. Try it. NOW. Serving time is acceptable. The waiters are warm, friendly, and attentive.

Marison's serves Filipino dishes with a twist: Fried Tilapia with a Special Sauce, Pork Spareribs in Hickory Barbecue Sauce served with mixed vegetables and mashed potato, Crispy Tripe Kare-Kare, etc. Our favorite dessert: Frozen Brazo! Excellent food, friendly staff and affordable price. Imagine we only spent P1,380 for 3 dishes, 1 group rice and 2 desserts! ...Read full post on foodiefiedph.weebly.com

Since I was going to be dining with a couple of friends who prefer Filipino over any other cuisine, but wanted to try something new, I decided we should try Marison's. The place was very simple. In fact a bit too plain, that I had second thoughts about eating there. But then I decided that it was worth the risk because really, the worst thing that could happen, in my mind, is I find the food ordinary. There were four of us excluding my toddler but they could only give us one menu. This made me a bit nervous. But I decided to go with the flow. After a couple of minutes browsing the menu, i realize they have quite some choices for a small restaurant. Most orders are good for sharing between 2-3 people so I knew I could only try a few items. I went for Deep Fried Kesong Puti for starters, Pork Binagoongan and Crispy Ox Tripe Kare-kare for our main entrees, and a slice each of Frozen Brazo de Mercedes and Sans Rival for dessert. When I saw Strawberry-Kamias Juice in their beverage list, I knew for sure what I was drinking. The Deep Fried Kesong Puti was very good. The spicy and tangy pineapple sambal dip was a great complement to the kesong puti. It was cooked a perfect golden brown and was not at all oily. One could finish the whole order if one didn't practice self-control. The Strawberry-Kamias Juice was very refreshing and tasted quite good too. Even my toddler loved it! I have high standards for kare-kare because my Kapampangan mom cooks it oh so well. I'm not a fan of the Crispy Tripe Kare-kare. I like the originality but I love my tripe on the chewy side. I also found the peanut sauce a tad too sweet. I liked that the Pork Binagoongan was not too salty, but nothing extraordinary. I love how they toasted the bagoong to crispness. The shredded green mango was a great addition to balance the saltiness. Dessert was a hit for everyone. Both cakes had just the right amount of sweetness. Not much care put into plating, but what the cakes lacked visually, their taste compensated for. Service was good and I liked how their staff gave recommendations. They were also quite patient with my toddler who added a bit of patintero to food service. I heard the ambience at their other branch is much better. I'd definitely visit some time soon.

Marison's has been on our radar since it was featured on tv. We ought to prove how it claims to be Antipolo's #1 Restaurant. We ordered the Crispy Tripe Kare-kare (i believe this is their best seller), Pinakbet and Molo soup. Coupled with calamansi drinks, we were all set. The kare-kare was on the sweet side and presented nicely. The crispy tripe was a novel idea plus the veggies were not mixed. The pinakbet was properly salted with crispy bagnets as added texture. The molo soup was creamy and flavourful, perfect companion to a rather chilly al fresco seating. And the calamansi juice was freshly squeezed unlike others tasting like those readymixes. Overall a worthwhile dining experience for a highly rated restaurant. Update: second time around we tried the crispy tadyang, ceasar's salad, binagoongan, crablets and halohalo. All good, must try really
