Take A Splice Out Of This Donut Burger!

-
We all know that traffic is at its worst every Friday evening in Metro Manila and last night I had to take two rides in the evening before getting to The Portal at Greenfield District, Mandaluyong. Splice is located right in front of where they put up the Weekend Market. The place was comfortable as it was spacious even if it would be packed. All the traffic-related stress was gone when I entered.
The 8 Hour Beef Belly Confit was the most recommended but I thought of veering away from the usual and I was drawn to their Donut Burgers. After a quick browse, I knew that The Lisa Burger was for me.
The Lisa Burger combines the sweetness of a salted caramel donut bun, the spiciness of the honey mustard dijon, and the goodness of an all-beef burger patty. I was warned that it might be too small for my appetite but it was surprisingly filling. Eating it was probably the longest I ate a burger not because of its size but because I want to savor every bite of it. One thing I did wrong though was to eat the top bun first. It may be best to save it for last to satisfy any sweet cravings. The sweetest thing about the burger is that they make their own donuts!
The night I was there was the same night Kai Honasan was invited to play. She sang covers and originals and has the smoothest, coolest voice without being raspy. If you haven't heard of her, you should go to her Spotify page now! Best when you want to relax but you have a bit of leftover angst.

The donut burger is a new experience for me and I'd definitely go back to explore the menu. Harvard shared that they're continuously trying out new creations so you can expect new food items from time to time. Other than acoustic nights, they have comedy nights.

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation. The result is an experience designed not only to be heard, but understood. Listening as Learning Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey is buil...
