WHEN IN MANILA, good food is always an amazing way to bond with friends, meet up with potential sweethearts or just get to know some people you wouldn’t normally get the chance to. When booking a hotel in Manila, keep in mind where all of the highly reviewed restaurants are located.
Last Saturday, I along with my high school friend and a bunch of block mates headed over to this quaint, hole in the wall restaurant to bond over some amazing food.
Mad Mark’s, the hidden gem of the avenue of restaurants in Kapitolyo, Pasig serves affordable yet gigantic dishes that will surely leave you wanting for more.
With Mad Mark’s cozy interior, it is the perfect place for some family gathering or just do some chilling with your friends.
Among the extensive and drool-worthy menu of Mad Mark’s, we tried the following:
Appetizers:
(Php 220)
Mad Mark’s Wings and Fries are amazing! With super tasty wings and delicious Cajun fries to match, this dish should definitely be on everyone’s table upon a visit to Mad Mark’s.
(Php 160)
One could easily smell Mad Mark’s Herb Parmesan Fries as it finds its way to your table from across the room. This super garlicky and super cheesy fries is the perfect starter to an amazing dining experience at Mad Mark’s.
Sandwiches:
(Php 290)
Mad Mark’s Lumberjack is the perfect man sandwich for those who ain’t afraid to pig out and have a good time. With generous servings of Angus beef, caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, and home grown mushrooms, this sandwich is just too amazing for words.
(Php 220)
Mad Mark’s Mariner is the perfect buffer to all the meaty goodness you can find in Mad Mark’s. With a huge slab of fish fillet with a special sauce and veggies, the mariner is a definite must try!
Mad Mark’s new but equally delicious dish, Apple Chicken Sausage, is one of the most unique dishes I’ve tried. The best thing about this dish is the hint of apple you get after every bite.
Another new dish of Mad Mark’s is their French Dip Wagyu. One word: Amazing! I will definitely get myself another one of this delicious sandwich on my next visit.
Other Dishes:
(Php 240)
The East Meets West pasta is one of my favorite dishes and my friends seem to agree with me too. The exotic spices of the noodle and the traditional taste of the chicken is just plain perfect.
(Php 260)
Mad Mark’s 11oz Bootstrap Steak is the perfect steak for Filipinos everywhere with its sweet but never overpowering flavor.
Drinks:
To help drown all the amazing food, we tried Mad Mark’s Home Blend Iced Tea Can I just say, this iced tea is just too addicting. Next time you visit Mad Mark’s, don’t forget to order a glass of their addicting iced tea.
A Mad Mark’s dining experience is never complete without a taste of their home made ice creams. Known for serving up the best ice creams in Manila, we knew we had to get our hands on them despite being super full already.
(Php 68)
Gobbling up a scoop of Mad Mark’s Apple Cinnamon ice cream is like eating up a slice of granny’s amazing home baked apple pie. Delicious.

The Javan Hot Chocolate ice cream strikes the perfect balance between sweet and bitter.
(Php 68)
Unlike most vanilla ice creams, Mad Mark’s Madagascar Vanilla Bean ice cream is not boring. Definitely a two thumbs up!
(Php 68)
Mad Mark’s Half Baked Madagascar is absolutely delish! I have to get my hands on a scoop of this amazing goodness. Wait! Make that two.
(Php 68)
My Korean friend decided to try out Mad Mark’s Chocolate on Chocolate which is like eating up a bunch of good frozen brownies.
So if you want to have an amazing gigantic meal half the normal price, head on over to Mad Mark’s and have an amazing dining experience just like we had WHEN IN MANILA.
