The first time we visited my new ophthalmologist, we accidentally discovered Almon Marina, got inspired to write about our gluttony, and started the quickie section of my blog. So to pay tribute to that momentous event in our lives (lels), we've made it our life mission to hunt for new places to fill our ever-expanding appetite! ;)
After visiting my ophtha again last week, we decided to check out the 4th floor of SM North The Block and ended up eating at Size Matters Sausage Burgers (what a mouthful of words! - pun very much intended).

Size Matters is a small, diner-ish place that serves greasy and unhealthy American food. Isn't it quite ironic to have a place so small with a tagline that says, "we like them BIG"?
With a tagline like that, you'd expect the serving size to be humongous. Hello, even the glass and condiments are unusually big! So when our food arrived, we were quite disappointed with the size. You can't really blam e us ! " Size Matters above all "?? 'Nuff said!
6" Hungarian Sausage, P165 - ★★★★☆
Well to be fair, we shouldn't really be complaining about the serving size of this one because that's the size we ordered. The meat was premium quality, but we think it's a bit expensive for a regular Hungarian sausage!
Maple Bacon with Egg and Toast, P125 - ★★★★☆
I love breakfast so instead of ordering one of their gourmet burgers, I ordered this! I liked that the toast wasn't toasted (labo!) and that the egg yolk was malasado (half-cooked) and that the maple bacon was grilled (naiyak ako sa sarap ng maple bacon T_T). But like the Hungarian sausage, we think that the price isn't justified!
3-pc Buffalo Wings, P195 - ★★★★☆
My tolerance to spiciness is quite low so I didn't like this that much. But hello, this is Buffalo wings we're talking about and it's supposed to be hot! But it's actually not too hot, it's very juicy, and it's a bit sour (but vinegar base not overpowering) - just the way Toto likes his wings :)
Chili Cheese Fries (solo Order), P129 - ★★★☆☆
I ordered this because I've been craving for Mexican food all week (it has chili con carne) and... it was a mistake! Not that it was bad tasting or anything but because we were already full by the time we realized we still had fries! I actually liked it but I was too bloated to finish it. So the 3-star rating is actually my fault :|
Choco Milkshake (P90) and Mango Float (P89) - ★★★★★
But no matter how full we are, there's always room for dessert! The chocolate milkshake we ordered was good - it actually tasted like Mikmik sweetened milk and chocolate powder, that junkfood we used to eat when we were kids! The mango float was also perfect, tasted like your homemade Graham crackers + mango + Nestle cream mango float. But we think it's also a bit pricey for its size (it's the jar, I tell you!).
Overall, we enjoyed the food at
