Aussie Burger (Php 250)

Found another place in BGC, Taguig where one could definitely dine and chill. Skippy’s Bar & Grill is a sports bar and restaurant bringing a piece of Australian goodness in the Philippines. It offers scrumptious and filling grubs for every hungry tummy, Aussie or local alike. In here you will find honest-to-goodness Aussie comfort food like the imported Aussie Meat Pies (choice of chicken or beef) from Down Under, the famous Aussie burger, Aussie steaks and lamb chops, and fish and chips are fast-becoming house specialties. And rightfully so, because Skippy’s never scrimps on ingredients and serving-size, making it great for hungry foodies or for a group of friends who just would like to have a great time! The bar boasts of an excellent selection of Australian beers like Victoria Bitter, and Crown Lager as well as other top-notch imported beers to toast on.

Chook Fingers (Php 150)

Its owners, Sydney-native business man, Steve Bird and his wife Tina, envisioned the place to be a laid-back, no-fuss pub where a mate can grab an ice cold beer, eat brunch until 3PM while cheering for his favorite sports team showing in live HD. And true enough barely a year in operation, it has become a place where great food, lots of laughter and awesome mates gather round.

People from Australia brings paraphernalia to the place and it will be displayed there. As long as it has an Australian relevance.

We had a number of dishes from their menu which are of generous servings along with their different drinks, I opted for shakes. We started with Shephered's Pie (Php 450), Aussie Burger (Php 250), Chook Fingers (Php 150), Chicken Parmagiana (Php 450). The next another sumptuous set of Salisbury Steak (Php 195), Baby Back Ribs (Php 195), Green Salad (Php 250), Skippy's Salad (Php 250). We thought it was over when another delightful meals arrived, namely as Battered Dimsims (Php 250), Shawarma Pizza (Php 450), Potato Scallops (Php 150), Basic Breakfast (Php 165) and last but definitely not the least, their Big Breakfast (Php 310). It was jam-packed kind of meal and my stomach was happily full when we were offered to try their cocktails. More to their huge palatable meals is the bands that play on the evenings which varies daily from pop, rock, etc.
