Filipinos absolutely love a buffet, unlimited calls and texts, free refills, bottomless iced tea — or simply anything that feels endless. Since Pinoys love a good deal, Uncle Cheffy is offering unlimited chicken and pork cracklings for only P199 per person, which even comes with a free glass of iced tea. Come on over to this restaurant in McKinley, Taguig!
The promo is valid for 90 minutes per person only. Additional time will be charged at the same rate of P199+ per 90 minutes per person. Naturally, there’s no sharing, no leftovers, and no takeout allowed. For those with leftovers, a P300 fee will be charged, and taking it home is still not permitted.
Bagnet, Fried Chicken, and Roasted Chicken
We, bloggers, were given samples of bagnet, fried chicken, and roasted chicken. IMO, I personally preferred the fried chicken over the roasted one. Meanwhile, their bagnet is undeniably sinful, yet the garlic infused in the meat gave us some assurance that we wouldn’t face a “putok batok” situation — since garlic is known to help lower blood pressure. So yeah, we could enjoy our bagnet indulgence while keeping our health in check.
Uncle Cheffy Favorite Panizza
Just when we thought we’d only be dining there for their chicken and bagnet, the Uncle Cheffy Favorite Panizza (P139) and alfalfa were served to us. Oozing with cheese (which I couldn’t quite identify) and topped with mushrooms, anchovies, basil, and tomatoes, this panizza is certainly a favorite — except for the burnt part that was served at our table.
What I didn’t know about panizza is that the alfalfa should be spread over the panizza before rolling it up. I must say — awesome!
Italian Leche Flan
Desserts were also dished up to us. The Italian Leche Flan (P 130) is not too sweet, which is very favorable to me.
Cheffy Cheesecake
They also offered the Cheffy Cheesecake (P130). From what Shiela and I could identify, the layers of the cake include a crushed cookie base, followed by a cream cheese layer, then a chocolate filling, and topped with what resembles a custard cake. Whether you choose to savor the cake layer by layer or enjoy all the layers in one bite, the Cheffy Cheesecake is truly admirable. You won’t get that “umay” feeling, but you’ll definitely still need some water to wash it down.
Uncle Cheffy is a bit a casual restaurant but the prices on their menu is affordable in my opinion. It is only my second time dining in at Uncle Cheffy and to be honest, I appreciate this visit than before. The interiors are also nice and creative. I don’t quite like the lightings, though. The service staff is also polite and friendly; I accidentally talked to them a couple of times compared to the food events I attended. So, to sum it up, here’s my score:

East Meets West Panizza
After having our meeting in Lazada, Shiela and I went to Uncle Cheffy again to try another kind of panizza – East Meets West junior P168. This panizza, as described in the menu, has Parma ham, salami, kesong puti, salted eggs, tomatoes, mango and 3 cheese. Over all, the panizza is scrumptious especially that it is drowning in cheese and it tastes like the maki twister of KFC. However, the existence of the Parma ham is lacking and the salami is also cut-priced.
Chicken Parmigiana
The Chicken Parmigiana (P 230) of Shiela is surprisingly not tomato-based but a white sauce with green sauce at the bottom, if you would see in the picture. The pasta is not tasty so a request of parmesan cheese is a must. Moreover, we’ve known through the waiter that the green sauce is made from spinach. It is just great that this pasta is not oily so I am recommending the dish for health-conscious people.
Steak and Pasta
Since I haven’t had my lunch and it was past 5 pm already, I’m really up into something heavier like steak, so I ordered Steak and Pasta (P250) because it’s affordable but would make me full. I had told the waiter to have my steak well done. The steak is tender but its sauce is purely plain while the pasta is well flavored. The penne is smothered in tomato sauce with a drizzle of parmesan cheese.
Uncle Cheffy Drinks
My lemonade (P100) and Shiela’s grape shake (P115) are well done, totally refreshing!
