Forget everything else—these three dishes at Kilimanjaro Kafe are my top 3 favorites . Seriously, my mind was blown, and you need to get these in your face immediately.
The Millionaire's Beef Steak First up, the Millionaire's Beef Steak. This isn't just a steak; it's an experience. The beef is so ridiculously tender it basically melts before your fork even touches it. If you're looking for an absolute splurge that is 100% worth every penny, this is the dish. It's the definition of treating yourself.
Fettuccine Alfredo: Next, let's talk about the Fettuccine Alfredo. Okay, Alfredo sounds basic, but they somehow perfected it here. This isn't the heavy, greasy stuff you sometimes get. The sauce is like liquid velvet—so smooth and creamy, and it coats the noodles flawlessly. It tastes exactly like real, high-quality Parmesan. It's just simple, warm, soul-soothing comfort food, and I was tempted to lick the bowl clean. Flawless execution.
Round the World Burger And finally, the star of the show: the Round the World Burger. This thing is an absolute beast! It's a towering, messy creation that is packed with the wildest, most delicious combination of exotic ingredients and sauces.

Grab two hands (and lots of napkins) because this burger is a creative, over-the-top masterpiece that leaves you...

The dishes were presented in a manner consistent with the standards expected of a five-star restaurant. The platings were aesthetically pleasing, demonstrating attention to detail and visual appeal.
The Tofu utilized appeared to be of high quality, exhibiting a firm yet delicate texture. The accompanying vegetables were fresh and vibrant with careful selection and preparation.
The Salmon possessed a palatable flavor profile, indicative of fresh, and high-quality ingredients. The pan searing imparted a desirable crispness to the skin, while the flesh remained moist and tender.
Round the World Burger. The patty cooked to the requested medium rare, exhibited a satisfactory internal temperature and color and that preserves the inherent juiciness and tenderness of the beef.
Thanks to Marjorie - a food attendant who demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the menus and very responsive to inquiries.
Overall, as commented by my Manila-Based friends - Ryan, Nikkie, and Joseph, Kilimanjaro Kafe is truly a dining experience worthy of its...
Read moreThe Star Dish: Twice-Fried Pork Belly On my visit, one dish stood out immediately: the Twice-Fried Pork. This is not your typical Filipino Lechon Kawali; it's a dish elevated by meticulous preparation. The "twice-fried" method, which involves slow-cooking the pork belly first before a quick high-heat fry, is immediately apparent in the texture. The crackling skin achieves a sublime crispness—it shatters instantly, producing that satisfying crunch that food lovers dream of. Crucially, the skin is not merely crunchy, but light and airy. Beneath this glorious exterior, the fat layer is rendered almost perfectly, melting gently, while the meat remains tender, moist, and deeply flavorful.
