An American in Manila, Burgoo Restaurant
Burgoo is conveniently located in the south wing of Mall of Asia. The serving staff are nice and service minded. They introduce themselves and ask for your name. In case you forget the name of your waitress they write their name on the paper tablecloth. The menu consists not only of hamburgers, they have other dishes as well, Tex Mex, pizzas, pasta, seafood, steaks and ribs.
Bacon Cheeseburger and Seafood Jambalaya Supreme
First time I was there, I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger. Charbroiled Angus beef patty, grilled and topped with cheese and golden crispy bacon. It was served with U.S. fries flavored with sour cream and onions. The serving was generous and the burger was delicious. The second visit I went for Seafood Jambalaya Supreme. It was a huge serving of mussels, calamari and shrimps with ham, chorizo, green peas, green bell pepper, white onions, cajun spices in long grain rice and topped with deep fried chicken. The food was tasty but I preferred the burger instead of the Jambalaya.
Conclusion
They have free WiFi which was functioning to my satisfaction. The serving went smooth and nicely without any hustle and waiting. If you are looking for some burgers the American style I can recommend this place!

Great value at Pinoy Pamilya
It's a great value hotel. Big clean room with wooden floor and bathroom in light beige marble. The AC is the old style which means a little bit noisy and it can be difficult to adjust the temperature. But still acceptable. Typical Filipino breakfast with coffee is included. Good location near everything here in Pasay. MOA (Mall of Asia) is just a jeepney ride away, 5 min and 8 PHP. Metro Point Mall and LRT/MRT (The metro rail system) in walking distance from the hotel. Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport is 200-300 PHP away with a taxi. WiFi is good even in the room. The downside is the neighborhood which might be a little bit rough at night time. Many karaoke bars and some short time hotels nearby. But I have never experienced any harassment what so ever.

My first review 2014 I wrote this: We had pasta and pizza and compared to certain fast food places here in the Philippines which have the same type of food, this was by far better. Otherwise nothing special.
The café latte is best in town (2016)
In February 2016 I visited Pizzeria Una three times. The restaurant is located opposite of the Fernandos Hotel which I was currently staying at. The food is still good. I tried pork spiced with herbs the Italian style with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes. Second time I went for the traditional pizza. Their café latte is best in town together with blueberry cheesecake, although to my knowledge this might be the only place in Sorsogon where they serve this! So the competition isn't that fierce. The staff is friendly but not really attentive. I often had to wait for ordering the food, getting the bill and refilling of the water. They tend also to have the AC very cold so for me at least who doesn't want to sit in the full blast of cold air I had to chose my table with care.

If it hadn't been for less good service, I had given them 5 out of 5. To serve the food and letting us wait for the plates makes me annoyed. There were some other minor issues as well but anyway the staff were friendly after all. We ate the baby back ribs and Sinigang na Hipon (soup with vegetables and giant shrimps). The food was excellent. The CR for men was without tissue paper and soap. So in protest I used the CR for women which was equipped with both tissue paper and soap... The restaurant is located 5-10 min drive with tricycle from the city centre of Sorsogon.

I stayed here for several nights. My room was spacious with a nice view over the compound. Everything was nice and clean. Friendly and service minded staff. No WiFi in the room but I stayed in the room 5 near the bar so most of the time I could enjoy free WiFi.
The breakfast not recommended though
They had only one type of breakfast 200 PHP, nothing wrong with it but it was an American dull breakfast with nothing special at all. Not recommended. Apart from that no other food was available. But since I had a fridge in the room I had my own stuff and it was ok to eat it in the bar. Coffee was complimentary. Only a few other guests were here under my stay. The location was 5 min by tricycle from the city of Sorsogon.

Good value for the money, fresh and clean, good location. This hotel seems to be newly built or renovated. The only negative is their WiFi, it's supposed to be working in every room but it doesn't. The only place in the hotel you can be reasonable sure that's working is in the lobby area. A minor detail is when your WiFi connected device been idle for just a little while (around 2 minutes) then you need to logg in with user name and password again. So frustrating! Apart from that their Pancit Guisado is one of the best I have tried... and trust me I have tried a lot Pancits allover the Philippines.
