On our way to BGC, we can’t decide where to eat so I opened my Zomato app and searched restaurants in Shangri-La the fort and One Bonifacio HS. I wanted to drink some wine and opted for filipino dish. Luckily, I saw Planet Grapes with 2+2 on drinks. Zomato quickly reserved us a table with no hassle at all. Entering the restaurant, the Host greeted us and offered the reserved table but I requested for another vacant table. Our server gave the menu and he was very knowledgeable suggesting which wine was good for the food we ordered. All our food was delicious and served on time. Some of our personal favorites were the Tenderloin Salpicao skewers and grilled Pork Chops. Definitely, we will come back again. It was a night to remember.

Staff really accommodated us even late into the night and were polite with everything. I came here desperately wanting food (after being turned away by three other restaurants that say they’re open till 12!). Thankfully Planet Grapes still opened their doors for us and did not make us feel like a nuisance even though we’re the only one left dining. 💓

We had our family dinner there to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

We saw the menu here at Zomato and got interested. We have some teenaged nieces and nephews with us so my sister had to go call and make sure they’re allowed to dine in since we had this impression that Planet Grapes (from the name) is more of a bar than a restaurant.

We didn’t regret our decision to try and dine here. Though a bit pricey, food was awesome. Everything we ordered were very satisfying. Budget I guess would be P800-P1000 per head.

We loved their Potato Chips, Fish and Chips, Sausage Platter, Mexican Corn and Onion Rings

Highly Recommended:
Their Sisig was P245 per serving and it was quite a small servings but taste was really good. We had to order 3 servings for us to be satisfied.

Tenderloin Salpicao was served in skewers, 2 skewers per serving at P390 per serving. This one’s so tender and tasty. So so good!

Grilled Porchop was served with the bones and it was so juicy and tender. A bit pale but taste was very very good. Each serving costs P390.

Would love to go back here.

Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas, at Mangga or “BBSM” for short is one of the best classic Filipino street food with a blend of sweet and sour that can easily whet your appetite. The combination is skillful and I imagine the dish tasting even better with smaller shrimps for a more concentrated flavor.

Planet Grapes Street Food Platter deserves more attention. It’s composed of Chorizo de Cebu, Vigan longganisa, garlic bangus longganisa, squid balls, kwek-kwek, and chicken skin. Everything is good on its own. This is the best entree to share with a bunch of friends. You go from zero to feeling-more-like-a-real-person in just a few bites.

Planet Grapes Sisig is always a good choice. It can stand as an appetizer or a hearty meal served with extra rice. PG Sisig is crispy pork mask served sizzling with a fresh organic egg and a refreshing tomato salsa. Tastes and textures are spot on. There’s a great hit of salt and crunch from the pork parts.

The mains aren’t too groundbreaking, but it’s impossible to fault well-cooked dishes. Beautifully prepared, all these entrees have harmonious tastes that fascinate the palate.

At Planet Grapes, you’d want to end your meal with a bang. I’ll say YES to any of these yummy desserts any day: Planet Grapes Leche Flan (PhP 150) – silky and dense leche flan made from carabao’s mil and Turon Trilogy (PhP 165) – filo pastry wrapped sweet plantains and ube halaya resting on a bed of preserved jackfruit coulis.

The difficult part is when you’re pressured to choose only one of the desserts here. When that happens, I recommend to go with the Sapin-sapin with Salted Egg Sauce. It’s unique, somewhat addictive, and has a very appealing quality to it. Their version of sapin-sapin is unorthodox and unabashedly bold. It works together ingeniously with the salted egg sauce, truly one of a kind. 🙂

This early into the review, allow me to say that my Planet Grapes experience was unforgettable (not to mention, informative). The presence of the positively loquacious Executive Chef Chris Leaning from UK added to that worthwhile food event. He was patient with us clueless foodies as to pairings of wines to the dishes available in the menu. And to that we are thankful for.

Speaking of dishes, the ones served that afternoon were truly exceptional but the Sausage Platter and the English Fish and Chips stood out. The platter was a collection of lip-smacking international sausages served with wholegrain mustard and creamy coleslaw while the fish dish was made of crispy beer-battered fresh Lapu-lapu fillet with special tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Fantastic.

Another of Chef Chris’ triumphs were the Fried Fishcakes of lightly-blended creamed potato, poached fish and parsley coated in breadwinner and the Scotch Egg Salad which was soft boiled egg enrobed in homemade pork sausage flavored with sage. Light and perfect starters.

At the end of the foodie meet-up, we were served two desserts: Warm Apple and Cinnamon Crumble served with Vanilla Crème Anglaise and the Mango Souffle Cheesecake, no-bake mango cheesecake topped with papaya and ginger compote. Both are new menu items and both are simply, again, unforgettable. Congratulations.

The menu is Filipino-International fusion. We ordered cheese fondue with puto Calasiao and it’s a bomb. We paired it with the recommended wine, souvignon blanc. Loved it! We had pork as a main dish paired with pinot noir. The meat was tender and well seasoned. On the side, we had Mexican corn. We definitely adored the special touch of suggested wine pairings to maximize the experience.

Overall, this is a homey go-to place for good wine and an appetizing meal. Definitely worth every penny!

Great ambience in planet grapes at shangrila fort. Tried their spagettini with gorgonzola cream sauce. The cream is very very thick but it taste good. Similar to cream-based pasta, you can easily get "umay" -sorry cant find the proper english term. Serving is good for one i think. The merlot wine is also good. Overall, friendly staff and cozy ambience.

Planet Grapes BGC is one of the best places to sip wine and have some Pinoy food paired with it.

Their wine list is very reasonably priced and their staff are knowledgeable with the different types of wines so don't be afraid to ask.

Check for wine tasting events which are both informative and fun.

A fusion of filipino food (even street foods) and wines. Yes, can be!

We had a reservation at 9PM. During that time there was only one group of friends dining in maybe because it's already late and a week day.
The place is real cozy and very stress-relieving. They play instrumentals of modern music and this restaurant is for those who wanted peace of mind and great food!

We ordered Grilled Pork Chop (P390) and Tenderloin Salpicao (P390) with two Steamed Rice (P30). We got the Chilled Taho Sampler (P175) for dessert.

The pork chop is very juicy and I can really taste the freshness of the pork like the slaughterhouse-to-table kind. It goes well with the beans and corn and tomato.

The tenderloin salpicao which I thought will be served on a bowl is surprisingly a skewered beef barbeque. The beef was marinated well with their spices and the veggies in it really counter the evil in this meat. Perfect combination as well.

To break the mains, we had Chilled Taho Sampler served in three flavors - matcha, chocolate and strawberry.
I like chocolate the most because it's not like your ordinary taho with very sweet syrup. This one is not that sweet and can be savoured in one go. Secondly, to be honest, I'm not really a fan of matcha but this taho proved me that I can conquer that leafy flavor with the soy. The strawberry flavor is also very legit - the real fruit puree was mixed in their taho.

All in all, here's my personal rating for this resto:
Food - 5
Service - 5
Ambience - 5
Value for money - 5

Verdict: Will definitely come back! ♥️

Been here quite a few times already and I must say that this is a place where you can have a really nice conversation with your friends while enjoying their wine and food, our personal favorite here are:

😘antipasto platter (they have good selection of cheese & cured meats)
😘chicharon with tinapa dip (mind you you'll get addicted to the dip)
😘BBSM (we don't fail to order this every single time by the way) really a perfect pair for the white wine as mentioned in the menu.

Though we've tried most of the food on the menu, these are just our to-go-to orders constantly.

If you're looking for a place to enjoy the night where you just want to somehow relax and sit and that's not loud that you can hear and understand each other, here's a really good choice for you.

Accommodating and friendly staff (they know what wine to offer you), they would really recognized you when you come back so it feels welcoming everytime. 😊

I thought this was a wine shop. It’s so high end... a bit intimidating to enter.

You’ll be surprised! They also offer delicious food here! And it’s affordable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you are looking for a place that is quiet, a relaxed environment and a place to hang out and talk this is the perfect place! Shout out to all titos and titas of Manila 😂

Here’s what we’ve tried. Note, this is now my new favorite lunch place and I always recommend Planet Grapes to my officemates.

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
➡️ Planet Grapes Street Food Platter- mas masarap ito kasa sa locavore haha
➡️ Tenderloin Salpica Skewers- the meat is tender and full of flavor! So delicious
➡️ Turon Trilogy- its baked! You’ll love the langka sauce and there’s ube inside ❤️❤️❤️
➡️ Sapin Sapin with salted egg sauce- best dessert ever!
➡️ Roast Chicken dinner- one of the best chicken i’ve tasted so far!
➡️ Planet Grapes Sisig- ang sarap! I love when they combine the tomato salsa

Price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
➡️ Desserts: Sapin Sapin with salted egg sauce P215, Turon Trilogy P165
➡️ Sisig P245, Salpicao P390
➡️ Street Food Platter P395
➡️ Good for sharing naman and i think the price is just fair. Their food is really good!

Ambiance and Service
➡️ Soooo modern! They use tablets/ipads for their menus
➡️ No long lines, no long wait
➡️ Excellent Service, really nice staff
➡️ Perfect to hang out, chill, relax and eat good food

Had Friday night dinner with family here at Planet Grapes, BGC and it was a pleasant and relaxed dining experience. We knew how expensive the parking rates can be at Shangri-La at the Fort we decided to park at the nearby The Fort BGC Complex and walked to Shangri-La it was a breezy evening and the company of pedestrians was pleasurable. In no more than 5 minutes we were at the venue and was welcomed even if we did not have reservations. The place was small, but intimate enough for a nice get Together with Friends or a quiet meal time with family. The place was welcoming and nicely decorated, i like the upcycled wine bottles. We were handed menus on iPads, the wait staff was very attentive and took mental notes of our food and drink orders. Quite a skill! Not a single miss.

We ordered the following: Chorizo Burger - i was not a le to sample this but judging by the looks on how my Brother devoured it, I'd say he enjoyed every morsel of it. And the Burger was a sizeable amount. Good enough for two or to share perhaps with a Group of Friends.

Roast Chicken with vegetable side - half Chicken served with vegetables. Nicely roasted, juicy and flavorful meat. Best paired with the Adobo Rice which for 60pesos is a meal in itself. Topped with Pork floss, the Rice was too salty from the Adobo sauce According to Mom but i didn't mind at all.

Street Food Platter - an assortment of longganisa, Kwek Kwek, Squid Balls, Kikiam. Nicely paired. The parents did not care much for the Squid Balls but enjoyed the Cebu longganisa. Sweet, fatty and delicious.

Sisig - generous amount of crunchy and toasty Pork, mix in the Egg and another pairing with the Adobo Rice. Yum! Ordered a glass of Wine and a couple bottles of... Juice. Hahaha!

The place had a good mix of diners, everyone was having a good time. Even the staff was quick on their feed and kind enough to accomodate our requests. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience with family that i would gladly repeat. Recommended.

Had a get-together dinner here with friends and I was pleasantly surprised at how delectable all our ordered dishes were!

We ordered the Garden Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette, Potato Chips with Truffle and Parmesan, Mexican Corn, Beef Salpicao, Roast Chicken, and a glass of wine each. I’m not sure if I was just hungry, but I was having a culinary ecstasy with every sip and bite 😆

The Potato Chips with Truffle and Parmesan initially looked like a simple bowl of Lay’s, but the truffle and cheese were a good combination that put a tasty spin to this appetizer. I’m not a salad person, but the greens in our salad were fresh and crunchy, and the raspberry vinaigrette was perfect and flavorful. The Mexican Corn was cheesy and creamy, one of my friends even requested for one more order of the dish. The chicken was quite savory, that although I’m not a fan of white meat, I really enjoyed this dish. The Beef Salpicao was also melt-in-your-mouth tender and was worth every bite. 🥗🍗🥩😊

The wine was relatively expensive though, as a “full” order is only about 1/3 of the glass. I’m not a wine expert, but I usually look for a fruity flavor or at least one that doesn’t leave a heavy aftertaste after each sip. Their red wine is exactly that 🍷

Ambiance was perfect for a quiet dinner with friends or a special someone, with it’s dimmed lights and spacious area. Service was quick and staff members were attentive, helpful but some could improve by being a tad warmer to customers.

I have a feeling that our bill might have been astronomical, so I’m glad that I didn’t spend a cent (haha, thankful for our friend’s dinner treat!). Great overall experience; will definitely be back👌🏻

3rd Visit: Antipasto Platter - cured meats, cheeses, dried fruits, grapes, pickles and honey.

I wasn't really fond of their cured meats but I liked the variety of cheeses available from soft to hard - cream cheese, Bleu cheese and Manchego. A big fan of Reds, I was pleasantly surprised the platter went well with the Moscato and Cava.

1st & 2nd visits: Planet Grapes Street Food Platter

Chorizo de Cebu, Garlic Bangus Longganisa, Vigan Longganisa, Squid Balls, Kwek-Kwek and Chicken Skin

My fave was the chorizo because the grilled and sweet taste of the chorizo blended well with the softer tannins and fruity aroma of the wine 👍👍👍. Too bad I completely forgot the bottle we had that night.

Ambiance and service for a wine and dine place is consistently good.

Went here with a friend around 11pm. The concept of the place is that you partner your wine with Filipino food. Ordered their Tenderloin Salpicao with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. My friend had their Pinot Noir. The place is cozy enough for conversations. Staff is accommodating. You may ask them the best pairings in the menu or you can check the menu itself for it has recommendations. They even let us stay beyond 12mn which is their operating hours while they clean up because we went there late. :D

Will definitely go back to bring some of my non-drinking friends there. Haha.

We were staying at Shangri-la BGC when we discovered they have Planet Grapes in the area. My wife and I are fans of Wine Story having visited High street and Shang EDSA in the past. We were curios how this sister establishment differs from its more upscale wine destination. It didn't disappoint. If you are a budding aficionado or connoisseur of wine, this is one place you should experience. I wish we didn't book dinner at Samba because we really enjoyed this place.

Pairing Asian street food with wine is where my passion about wine lies. This bistro panders to my desire. The 2013 vintage Sauvignon Blanc from Elim (in Western Cape, South Africa) had a "husband-and-wife" relationship with the Sotong Goreng (crispy dried baby squid coated with a honey-soy glaze). The few drops of lime juice squeezed on it were the trick that made this dish a perfect partner for the grassy and mineral Sauvignon Blanc. From the name, Sotong Goreng, I assume this is an Indonesian/Malaysian dish. "Sotong" means squid and "goreng" means "fried". The 2014 vintage Syrah from Nelson, New Zealand were in a "common law marriage" with the Tenderloin Salpicao (soy sauce, garlic and presumably Worcestershire Sauce marinated beef)-married but not really married. The young wine showed a purplish hue and a charming sandalwood aroma and flavour but still firmly stood alone besides the beef on my palate. This was an acceptable but not perfect pairing.

This place is a winner! The food is amazing, staff is very accommodating. Price is average - but seriously WORTH IT. We were six girls and paid P9,000. That was inclusive of overflowing food plus two bottles of wine. We started with the cheese platter, which I highly recommend. Then ordered the following for mains:
1. Norwegian salmon - it was kind of bland compared to other norwegian salmons I had. Came with couscous. Not going to order this again
2. Ribs x 2 - tender, juicy, fall off the bone. 5 stars for this
3. Roast chicken dinner - tender, juicy, flavourful.
The rosemary and thyme definitely kicked in.
4. Garlic mashed potato - creamy and rich, good for 1-2 pax. Its only P75!

We ordered the following tapas:
1. Kebab - nice
2. Chicharon - Comparable to Lapid’s but this one was better coz it wasnt loaded with salt and other flavourings. Overall it was just right. The dip was amazing too!

We got a bottle of Sparkling Moscato, and a Resling (each worth P1,300)

Service is impeccable. We were well-attended to by the gorgeous girls in dark lipsticks. I am very pleased with the staff. Definitely worth coming back.

Planet Grapes- Where street food meets wine they say. They serve pinoy food in an elegant kind of way. The servings though are not that big, esp for the price that you pay for it. Serving time is also quite long when in fact the place was not full when we were there. But overall, their food is delicious. One thing that really struck me is how accomodating and hospitable their staff is. 👏🏻👏🏻

If you want to indulge in Filipino food, and wine you should visit this place. This is one of the few proper wine bars you’ll find in the metro.

My girlfriend and I have visited this place several times because we both love eating good Filipino food and drinking wine – and that is what exactly Planet Grapes has provided us. We’ve tried a lot of items from their menu but we’ve always find comfort from their sisig, chicken bbq skewers, street food platter and cheese platter – all of which are delicious. If you’re not familiar with which wine to pair your food with you’ll surely appreciate their suggested wine pairing written on their menu.

They also offer wine tasting 101 which we availed. If it’s your first time to drink wine and if you want to have more appreciation about it, I suggest you avail this offer as it will provide you with the fundamentals about wines. The session is considerably priced cheaper than those other wine tasting lessons you’ll find around.The staff that conducted the session seemed knowledgeable about wines. However, it’d be better if they could share more information about wine tasting like how to know if the wine is sugary or sweet without even tasting it or looking at the label of the bottle. 

Their service has always been excellent for us. The waitstaffs look neat with bright smiles on their faces and are always prompt. We never had to wait for our orders to be served.

As to the interior, the combination of colors insinuates modernity, sophistication and formality. This place initially appeared to us as intimidating. There is also a cool look and feel in this place because the combination of wood and metal elements all over. This is a good place for a date night or even a group date.

Food prices are reasonable with the overall experience – I guess they’re just at par with other restaurants within the area, under the same category.

Wine prices – there’s a French proverb that says: “It’s only the first bottle that is expensive.”

Bf and I went here for anniversary dinner. Tried their truffle potato chips, grilled porkchop and bbq spareribs. Food were great but I find it too expensive for its taste and quality. They have a wide array of wine choices. I forgot what wine we got, but I'd say I'm not really much of a wine person (unless it's sangria). Bf liked his wine but it's too strong for me. Dining here was an experience but I might never come back again cause I think I could found a cheaper place for the same quality of food.

PS: you might not appreciate this place if you're not a wine lover

I visited Planet Grapes recently for a nightcap and had a full glass of Red. I came in a little before their last call but found that they were still so welcoming. I love that you can order wine halved or full glass or by the bottle.

Planet Grapes is one of Shangri La's best kept secrets. This dimly-lit wine bar has an extensive sampler of the world's best wines in the comfort of their own cellar. . However, the place shouldn't only be known for wine. It has its own delectable selection of comfort food and other intercontinental dishes which effectively complement the wine.

This is just like the Romeo and Juliet of restaurants. An affair between street food and wine that you thought will never work, Planet Grapes pulls out one of the most facinating things in cuisine. And the amazing thing was, it was that good.

Here are some recommendations:

BBSM (Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas, Mangga) - Something that takes you a while back during highschool days where you get to buy the local Mangga with Bagoong, this dish puts a surprising kick into it. It just has the right saltiness to make it work.

Spaghettini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce - The pasta was a bit soggy but the sauce was really good!

Sapin-sapin with Salted Egg Sauce - To be honest, I was a bit skeptical with the combination as I grew up to eat Sapin-sapin as it is. Turns out to be one of the most awesone combinations I've ever tried. This is some dish that we got here.

The best thing about the place is that they have wine recommendations for every dish that they serve, elevating the dish to its next level. Some might get intimidated with the pricing per bottle but the do have cheaper alternatives for people to get enjoy their wine. This is a perfect place to bring someone for an unwinding day or to get someone introduced into wine.

Who would have thought that street food and wine would actually match? Well they do and we totally enjoyed our first time at Planet Grapes. Great food and awesome servers, not to mention they know their products well. Our favorites - BBSM (baboy, bagoong, singkamas at mangga) and Puto Calasiao Fondue paired with Te Mania Gewnrztaminer, Roast Chicken paired with Pircas Negras Forrentes, and the Salted Egg Sapin Sapin paired with Lauriga Muscat 2012.

The classic and all time Pinoy Fave Hilaw na Mangga and Singkamas with bagoong looked so classy. We loved the presentation. The bagoong was placed in a bowl mixed with pork making it easy to eat without getting the hands dirty and messy.

The puto calasiao is readily available as well. The best part is that it comes with cheese fondue. And this we can attest to, once you start eating, you just won't be able to stop that easily! Very yummy indeed that it makes you want to finish everything all at once!

The Salted Egg Sapin Sapin was unforgettable! It was so delicious that it made us realize that the Salted Egg craze is not just a phase but might actually be here to stay!!!

And lastly, the ambience, ahhhh, such a perfect place to chill and hangout with friends.

My friends and I have been planning to have a wine and cheese night and it was only yesterday that we're able to do it. Planet Grapes made it possible with their wide selection of wines perfect for budding wine lovers like us. The service is great. You'll have wine specialists to help you pick out the perfect wine for your taste buds. The ambience is also romantic. Ideal for having quality time with your loved ones. Our overall experience was totally wonderful. We had an epic night of fun and our stomach full of happiness. 😀

We're just supposed to order the cheese platter and few bottles of wine. But, when we're checking the menu, we got excited to try out their new concept of Street Food Meets Wine. So, we ordered more. We tried the Cheese Fondue with Puto Calasiao. The Cheese Fondue is a combination of 2 kinds of cheese and anchovies. It's a must try! We also ordered the BBSM (Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas and Mangga), you'll surely crave for this. We also had Sotong Goreng which is crunchy and very rich in flavor. These are best paired with Te Mania Gewurztraminer.

For our mains, we had Porkchop and Pork Sisig paired with Paul Mas Pinot Noir. Then, the Pircas Negras Torrentes perfectly complemented our Roast Chicken and Spaghetini Gorgonzola. The pasta is absolutely scrumptious.

For my favorite part, Desserts! Sapin-Sapin with Salted Egg sauce should be in your list. So yummy! We also tried the Turon Trilogy which is also delicious.

This is one restaurant I would surely go back to and can absolutely recommend to others. A definite 5 for me. 👍🏻

Probably one of the best! There's not one plate that I didn't like. Their dessert really got me to crave the next morning, the sapin sapin with salted egg and paired with their wine dessert is out of this world! 🙌🏻

If you're a "meaty" person, you should totally try their BBQ Ribs; Vinun Cab and mashed potato. Their pasta tastes amazing as well! I highly recommend!

Planet Grapes is a place where you can enjoy your meal, have a good sip of wine from all over the world, and really, just to have fun dining without the drama! 👌🏼

“Wine without the drama!” No hassle, no fuss, no drama! And that’s what we experienced when we dined in the newly opened branch of Planet Grapes in Shangri-La at the Fort in BGC. You can ask any one of their highly qualified staff for pairing recommendations.

Ambience – 5/5

Service – 5/5

Food Recommendations:
Cheese Fondue with Puto Calaciao (PHP 545.00) – 5/5
This dish is really tricky to comment on. Puto Calasiao on steroids is what I like to think of it. The sweet, sticky (yet fluffy) puto paired with the anchovy-flavored melted cheese was oddly entertaining to savor. Getting seconds is definitely out of the question.

Spaghettini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce (PHP 365.00) – 5/5
I’m a very picky pasta eater when it comes to anything with white sauce. However, their Spaghettini was a game changer, and wholly won my heart (a.k.a. my stomach). The gorgonzola cream sauce was the perfect touch, making it one of the best pastas that I ever tried!

Grilled Pork Chop (PHP 390.00) – 4/5
One of the juiciest I’ve had! Rubbed with salt and pepper, and grilled to perfection!

Sapin-sapin with Salted Egg Sauce (PHP 215.00) – 6/5
Of all the sapin-sapin that I tried, Planet Grapes’s version reached the pinnacle of my sapin-sapin fantasies. Glutinous rice, sweetened jackfruit and ube halaya layered together in a beautiful gradient! Top it all up with rich and decadent salted egg sauce! What more could you ask for?

Other food that we tried:
Squid balls and Curry (PHP 245.00)
BBSM (PHP 290.00) - Baboy Bagoong Singkamas Mangga
Roast Chicken Dinner (PHP 575.00)
BBQ Spareribs (PHP 690.00)
Mashed Potato (PHP 95.00)
Chorizo Rice (PHP 75.00)
Turon (PHP 165.00)
Sotong Goreng (PHP 230.00)

Fantastic dessert. Yes, it was the dessert that really stood out for me. I mean, the salted egg sapin sapin literally blew my mind away and the tres leches turon was just amazing. Now the wine are of course at par with everyone else but the way they paired it with their food just made it stand out. It was amazing. 

If you're off to have a quick lunch, their rice bowls are a must but if you have time to indulge, make sure to try their pasta. One of our foodie friends wanted to marry the pasta. It was that good.

Update on the update:
All is right in the world again and service plus food is top notch once more.
This experience, too, was unannounced, fully paid for and properly experienced.
Kudos, Planet Grapes! Turn around is amazing!


Update:
Turns out, Planet Grapes created a whole experience for us only because we were members of the media.
The chicken, one month later, crumbled under my fork for being too flaky from freezer burn.
The chorizo rize is overly oily, overly salty, and overly horrible.
The sapin sapin was drooping from the sides with hardly any color.
The attendants hardly attended to our needs despite having only 3 tables seated.

A universe of its own.

It's simple, really. "Enjoy drinking wine, we won't judge."

Enjoy, we did.

We were started with Reisling paired familiar yet unique appetizers from steamed squid balls in curry sauce, bbsm, puto calasiao fondue, and sotong goreng.

Imagine the familiar street food with an interesting dash of another familiar used on something exotic.

Case in point: bbsm or bagoong, baboy, singkamas, and mangga. Which should be your usual mangga (or singkamas) with bagoong now with another layer of fried baboy pieces to add something chunky to the profile.

Sotong goreng came as a pleasant surprise with the sea salty caramelized squid in stark contrast to the puto cheese fondue that was creamy rice puff under creamy cheesy goodness.

Our wines were expertly explained as they switched to different profiles as the strlarches and the mains began to be served.

The chorizo rice mashed potatoes and creamy gorgonzola spaghetinni as well as the roast chicken, bbq ribs, and porkchop were all given an added depth and boldness from adding sour notes by the torrontes after biting on herbs and spices that have been marinating in the chicken in the last 12 hours, for example.

Finally, all our white wines were cleared in exchange for muscat. The sweet wine best paried with Planet Grape's sapin sapin coated with salted egg yolk sauce that struck layers and layers of profile from the silky steamed ground rice with three different milder flavors right underneath the stark contrast of salted egg yolk cream but not overwhelmingly salty this is while sweet tangy muscat swims over the remnants of the salted egg and the sapin sapin on your pallette.

Let's not forget the turon trio that struck home after every bite with the familiar crunch on top of banana jam, langka and ube puree separated by wrapper but melds together in your mounth reminiscent of crackling wrapper over sweetened banana and langka with the mellow tone of ube to complete the profile.

Overall one great experience tucked under Shangri-La.

You really have to try them for yourself to know what I'm talking about.

A definite 5 in my book! ❤️

Planet Grapes brings wine without the drama; the best wines paired with street food that unexpectedly works in so many levels! With their latest venture in Shangri-la at The Fort, Planet Grapes brings in a celebration of wine and food pairings, also venturing to more hearty and filling food selections. Their impeccable staff is well trained and are experts when it comes to wine. Ask them anything you need to know about your wine selection, they can definitely help you out.

Here's how my evening went:

Appetizer: (Wine: Te Mania Gewurztraminer)

Squidballs and Curry
- my favorite appetizer. ❤️ I honestly prefer my squid balls to be a bit crisp on the outside, but they served it steamed and in a bed of curry. I thought at first that it was a bad idea, but I just ended up eating up my words and regretted why I said so. The squid balls had tiny bites of squid and with the curry, a smoked, fragrant, rich and spiced flavor kicks in. The curry envelops the squid, teasing your tastebuds with the sweetness of the coconut milk and the smoked, spiced curry spices its infused in. With the wine, more of the curry flavor comes in for a tease.

Cheese Fondue with Puto Calaciao
- puto calaciao in its humble form, contrasted by light and gooey cheese fondue. A subtle hit of saltiness from the fondue comes from the anchovies that is mixed into it. When puto comes into the picture? Expect a sweet-salty and soft haven. With Gewurztraminer? Expect a hint of sweetness coming out a bit more from your tastebuds.

Sotong Goreng
- Thai style dried squid. It is surprisingly not too fishy as what I've expected, for the sweetness of the dish helped hid it. Squeeze in a bit of calamansi to contrast the sweetness. Drink the wine and the sweetenss of the Sotong Goreng comes out.

BBSM
- child friendly! 😜 Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas at Mangga. This was a nostalgic treat, only more elevated and makes you realize that you are #adulting. It's chunks of pork and hefty servings of bagoong married altogether with just the ample amount of chilies.

Mains:
Porkchop (Wine: Paul Mas Pinot Noir)
- I loved how it was seared well on the outside and juicy on the inside. Well seasoned with no other overwhelming flavors. Perfect balance with the Pinot Noir.

Roast Chicken (Wine: Pircas Negras Torrentes)
- roasted with crisp skin and juicy meat. Best with their chorizo rice! ❤️ Don't forget the wine! The Torrentes accentuates the richness of the chicken.

BBQ Ribs (Wine: Vinun Cab)
- sticky, smoked, and succulent! Meat is fork tender and juicy. Vinun Cab brings out its smoked flavor more with hints of sweetness.

Spaghetini Gorgonzola
- highly addicting! Rich, cheesy and savory alfredo sauce with al dente spaghetini. A perfect compliment to white wine. Adult level comfort pairing!

Mashed Potato
-unpretentious. Mashed potato as it should be; not too starchy, not overly mashed and not overseasoned. A perfect meal partner to fill you up.

Chorizo Rice
- packs just the right amount of flavor to compliment the main dish itself, not oily for fried rice either(a big plus!).

Dessert: (Wine: Lauriga Muscat 2012)

Sapin-sapin with Salted Egg
- it feels like you've finally met the man of your dreams and all you think of is starting your life together--it's that awesome! Traditional style sapin-sapin paired with a salted egg sauce, which was the tastiest salted egg dishes I've ever tasted. The salted egg sauce mellows down the sweetness of the sapin-sapin, plus the salted egg specks in between contrasts the soft, sticky kakanin.

Turon
- three amazing things in one pretty parcel; saging, langka at ube. A unique take on a merienda favorite any pinoy grew up enjoying. Bring the muscat into play, the three flavors start to marry each other even better.

Visit Planet Grapes' newest branch at Shangri-la at the Fort in BGC, Taguig and indulge into a remarkable selection of wines, paired with execptional food. ❤️

I have never been to a wine tasting event but I've seen some on the boob tube and it involves a lot of stuff. It is a lil intimidating, truth be told especially for yours truly.

Boy, i was glad that Planet Grapes came into the picture. Wine without the drama, this is the philosophy they live by. And yes, i am completely digging it. They offer wines from around the globe - from Napa down to South Africa. What is more interesting is that they have deconstructed Pinoy dishes that pair well with wine.

| BBSM. Baboy Bagoong Singkamas Mangga. As per the Chef, the name is loosely derived from the movie he didn't watch (har-har 😂This is book that i refuse to read). This is deconstructed binagoongan meets mangga at singkamas. An homage to ze famous street food i patronize when i was still institutionalized (i mean school, guys). The semi salty notes works well with a glass of white.

| Squid Balls and Curry. Yeah, you heard it right, not a typo nor drunk typing. This is my favorite among the appetizers because of the winderful marriage of flavors and textures. The curry goes well with dem balls and it adda depth to the familiar street food.

| Puto Calasiao Fondue. Who said that we cant use puto on fondue? That is the beauty that innovation brings, one can mix and match ingredient and come up with odd pairings that will work well together. The airy texture of the puto is perfect with the melted cheese as the gooey yellow matter seethes through the puto.

| Sotong Goreng. This is deep fried squid cooked in goreng fashion. This is my least favorite as i find the texture of the squid too crispy.

Mains
| Spaghettini with Gorgonzola and Cream Sauce. I had doubts when i heard Gorgonzola (distant relative of Bleu). I aint a fan of pungent cheese. But all my doubts vanished into thin air after the first spoonful. The strong flavor of the cheese that i dread is not too in your face.

| Roast Chicken Dinner. Chicken marinated in lemongrass, garlic and dill then roasted till golden brown. I like how they seasoned the chicken, the mixture of herbs makes the chicken standout. Apart from the seasoning, i like the part that they didnt add too much element to good old fashioned roasted chicken. They kept the flavor clean and stayed true to the simplicity of the dish

| Grilled Porkchop. This is beautiful slab of meat is proof that they know how to grill pork. The inside is cooked to perfection - moist and juicy.

| Barbeque Ribs. I love dem juicy ribs! Fall-off-the-bone tender and really flavorful. I am loving the fact that it is not to "barbeque-ey"

Sides
| Salted Egg Chorizo Rice. This is how any rice dishes should taste like. I love that they incorporated chorizo and salted egg in the equation. The richness of the aforementioned elements tones each others flavor and creates a healthy balance of flavor profiles.

| Mashed Potatoes. I have never met a potato dish that i did not like. I can live on potatoes as dem round things are may favorite veggie. What makes this mash special? Uhmm, it doesn't taste artificial, i taste potatoes in all its glory.

Desserts
| Sapin Sapin. This is the best tasting sapin-sapin i have had in my lifetime. Holy &@$@ on a silver platter it is so good i feel like i am about to drop f-bombs anytime soon.

Expletives aside, the rice cake is phenomenal. They killed it! From the texture down to the flavor. The salted egg custard on top made it 100x awesome.

| Turon. This is just okay for me. I am sure this is awesome if i hadn't tried the sapin-sapin first.

Wine

Gewurztraminer is an aromatic wine grape used in White Wine. It has a natural sweet flavor and share the same aroma as lychees. Due to its natural sweetness, it is best served with Asian Cuisines to offset the saltiness.

Now i understand why they served a bottle of Te Mania (2013 New Zealand) along with the appetizers. The common denominator of the starters is the bold flavor. I took a small bite of the binagoongan and took a sip of white. I found myself nodding and appreciating the pairing.

Torrontes is a white Argentine wine grape variety. They are known for fresh, aromatic wines that has distinctive peach and apricot aromas.

They served Pircas Negras (2013 Argentina) along with the Roast Chicken. First, i didn't know that white pairs well with fowl

Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety grown mostly in the cooler regions particularly with the Burgundy region of France. The name is derived from the French words for pine and black; the pine alluding to the grape variety having tightly clustered, pine cone-shaped bunches of fruit.

Paul Mas 2014 France was paired with the pork chop and i gotta say that red goes well with red!

Cabernet Sauvignon is ze most popular red wine grape variety. The flavor is very bold and assertive wine hence it is best paired with fatty red meats.

This is the first time i tried wine from South Africa (Vinum 2014) and i am loving every sip. I love the bold flavor and how it lingers in my palate. You will fully appreciate the flavor when paired with ze ribs. You get to taste the fruity profile.

I like Moscato, i usually drink a glass or two when the Sandman is playing hard to get. And i didn't know that my fave poison works well with desserts. The last wine pairing of the night comprises of a glass of Lauriga Muscat 2012 and some Pinoy kakanin.

Moscato is made of the Muscat grape (commonly used as table grape and for making raisins). Moscato is historically known as a dessert wine and has a slight fizz and flavors of nectarine, peach and orange that are very pleasing to the taste buds.

Wine Pairings at Planet Grapes is nothing but fantastic. Each pairing is carefully crafted. The food is prepared with expertise and has the right amount of flavor that worked well with the wine.

What makes Planet Grapes special, you ask? They pair wine with Pinoy food - this in turn removes the intimidation factor when it comes to wine.

Wine without the drama.

Peace Out!

I was very very happy to have been able to sample Planet Grapes menu and different wines exclusive to their restaurant.

They not only have fantastic food prepared by Chef Gus, but he ambiance is both relaxed, beautiful, and classy.

Everything, and i mean everything was met with a smile, but a few stand outs were:

Puto Calasiao with Guyere and Emmentaler cheese fondue - the puto was light and fluffy, and was the perfect sweet contrast to the subtly sharp anchovy-flavoured cheese; perfect with the Te Mania Gewnrztraminer white wine.

Roast Chicken - flavourful, juicy, and memorable; perfect with the Pircas Negras Forrentes white wine which had subtle hints of spice and acidity.

BBSM (Bagoong, Baboy, Singkamas, at Mangga) - elevated streetfood; bursting with tart, salty, and porky flavour.

Porkchop - thick cut; melt-in-your-mouth tender; beautifuly grilled; perfect with the mild-bodied and slightly acidic Paul Mas Pinot Noir.

Sapin-Sapin with Salted Egg - this one had the most salted egg flavour of anything that claims to have slated egg out there! The sapin sapin was sweet, which was a great contrast to the salty and eggy sauce generously drizzled on top; the Lauriga Moscat dessert wine paired with it was just the icing on the cake!

We also had:
Squidballs and Curry
Sotong Goreng (Sweet-salty deep fried baby squid)
BBQ Ribs paired with red Vinun Cab
Spaghetini Gorgonzola
Mashed Potato
Chorizo Rice
Banana Langka and Ube Turon

Such a great place for families, friends, and partners to visit! Wether you're a wine enthusiast, or someone just discovering taste, you'll definitely enjoy Planet Grapes.

Good food, good people, and "wine without the drama!"

I've always found wine a bit intimidating and expensive. However, I was thrilled and surprised to see that wine doesn't need to be difficult to enjoy. The staff in Planet Grapes are very knowledgeable and would be happy to share and teach you more about wine and what it pairs well with. I especially enjoyed the food which are inspired from local street food with a twist. Ambience is great. Tables are far apart to give you enough privacy and space with your group. Prices are reasonable. It's a great place to start your wine journey without being judged :)
