Our family has never really eaten at their restaurant in Makati, always opting to have our Amber favorites taken out or delivered and enjoyed at home, mainly because the most convenient location for us, that in Brgy. Palanan, Makati, is right beside a very dusty, smokey street. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if it weren't for that fact that theirs is an open restaurant and they don't have airconditioning. =)

The family always orders the same tried and tested items:
The Canton Special, selling for Php300 to 900 depending on the size. A sweet, savoury mix of pancit noodles with a healthy serving of veggies and pork strips. Simply delish!

Their Pork BBQ (Php17 per stick) is also a must-try. A little bit on the pricey side but believe me, it's well worth it! Sweet and a little spicy at the same time and marinated just right.

And of course, our meal would never be complete without their special Pichi-Pichi with cheese (Php60 for 12 pcs. to Php200 for 40).
This sweet gelatinous dessert made from grated cassava and sugar is also a must-try! It's truly addicting and will leave you wanting for more. Our family even fights over the last piece. =D

A word of advice though, when ordering their items for take-out, be sure to call at least an hour in advance. The place is usually packed with people waiting for their take-away orders and loitering around such a humid place will just annoy the heck out of you. By calling ahead, this ensures that you can just pick up your orders immediately without any hassles. =)
If only we could have this for dinner everyday. *Sigh*

ReplyDeletei love amber. last christmas, nagtake out lang ko ng food sa kanila, not in the mood to cook. =)
ReplyDeleteWe have the same favorite items! :) The pichi-pichi, we cannot have enough of. They have a new branch along EDSA near guadalupe but still not airconditioned. We prefer to take out from their Palanan branch and just enjoy the meals at home ^^
ReplyDeleteAmber is loove! Even my expat bosses love their pichi pichi (peachy peachy for them) with niyog! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, i'm drooling over in your post here.. I love their pichi pichi so much!
ReplyDeleteDi ko pa na try kumain sa Amber. Mahilig ako sa BBQ kaya kung sakali yun ang uunahin kon kainin. hehehe!
ReplyDeleteWE love Amber too. Pag walang maisip for snack pag may meeting. We usually order the pancit canton bilao,bbq and pichi pichi.
ReplyDelete@michymichymoo: I agree. We should start a petition so they'll be forced to open more branches. =)
ReplyDelete@michi: That's a good idea. We usually order from them during special occasions too. =)

I love Amber! :) Back when I was still working in Makati, the office has this last Thursday of the month food fiesta and usually they serve pancit and pichi pichi from Amber. :)
ReplyDelete@Karla: Cool! Its good to hear about companies like that. =)
ReplyDeleteAmber = pichi-pichi. The only problem with Amber in Makati is lack of parking. Haven't had pichi-pichi in a long while. hmmmm
ReplyDelete@Batangala: You can always park in Cash & Carry. =)
ReplyDeleteOh! It's the first time I've heard of pichi-pichi with cheese. Sobrang nakakagutom naman. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging by at lainyonline.com

@Lainy: Try it sometime. Its really good. I'm not much of a niyog (grated coconut) fan so this is a good alternative for me. ☺
