Tried Buddy's Pizza and Burger

Dad was still around the last time I tried Buddy's pizza and burger. We were in Lucban for healing. After visiting Kamay ni Hesus, we went to Buddy's to eat. Mom ordered a couple of things including my favorite hardinera, pizza and burger. Back then Buddy's hadn't expanded to Manila yet. 

The Paranaque branch opened again a few months ago. We've been ordering our usual faves, but I thought I'd try the pizza and burger again. Sweetie tried it a few weeks ago and said it was delicious. I had to fulfill my craving for longganisa and hardinera first before I could move on to other stuff in the menu. 

Sweetie was right, the burger is delicious! I got it with cheese and it's bursting with flavor. It's very different from Dayrit's burger (my #1 fave) and far from the taste of fastfood burgers. It reminded me of the times Dad would make burgers at home. 

I also tried the basic pizza. It was good, but left me wanting more since I just got the classic one. Next time I'll get the one with more stuff on it. I can just imagine how delicious it will be with more sahog. I just got a solo size and shared it with the boys so they can try too. The pizza didn't feel sinful and wasn't oily. 

Well, it's been just a few days and I ordered a burger again. This time I'll eat it with their spaghetti. I've been looking for good spaghetti since I think McDonald's changed something in their spag. It no longer hits the spot for me (sniff).

Buddy's in Paranaque in Back!

I'm so happy Buddy's Pancit Lucban and Longganisa is back in Paranaque! It probably opened the restaurant (not just kitchen!) in the past 5 to 6 weeks since we were in the area (near Paranaque City Hall).

They were available on Grab a couple of months ago (maybe last year?) and then suddenly closed. I felt so orphaned because Buddy's is comfort food for me. It reminds me of my Dad's cooking (plus he's from Lucban). I messaged them on FB to find out how I can order from other branches. It didn't work out.

I was hopeful they'll be back and told them to please come back 😅 The long hopeful wait is over and we promptly had some of our favorites delivered when we got home (had a gazillion adulting errands today). 

I got my usual, longganisa and hardinero. Yummy as always! Sweetie tried the burger and he said it's as homey as Dayrit's! Last I tried it was in Lucban, so I'll order it next time.

Buddy's Lucban, May 2009

The good news of having Buddy's back is they have a fuller menu compared to before. I have to try their pizza again (last time was in Lucban way back!). And I'm happy to see their fiesta meals. That's what I miss getting when I have guests from abroad visiting.
