Zomato Foodie Experience

For a head start, Zomato is an app that allows you to search and discover great places to eat at. You can browse the restaurant's menu, look at the pictures and view user reviews to decide where you want to eat, or even use the map feature to explore great food finds.

As a foodie, I find this app really convenient because it helps me to save time on deciding where to eat. All I have to do is draw a circle on my chosen location and voila! all restaurants there will automatically appear and it's now up to your personal liking.


I've been using this app since March 2015 and since then, I became an active user. I post pictures and write reviews for every restaurant I visit. It serves as a food diary for me where I store all the memories and experiences of eating and trying out new restaurants with my family and friends. After a couple of reviews and pictures that I've posted, I finally earned my foodie expertise badge in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. My next goal is to become a verified Zoman foodie.


Because of my enthusiasm, I got invited to attend Zomato's Foodie Meet-Up last Sept 8 at Dine 'N Dash SM Taytay. I also got to meet one of the account managers, Mr. Van Luzarraga; the community manager, Ms. Elaine Taningco and my fellow Zoman foodies.



The whole experience was really overwhelming! I have dreamt of becoming a food critic before and Zomato has granted it to us for a day. Being a restaurant/food critic is really a pretty sweet gig if you can get it. Eating for a living seems like the cushiest job ever; especially if you consider all the foodies ready to yelp their meals for free. So I urge everyone to try this app and be active for you to be invited in some of Zomato's events like this.The feeling of being the first person to try the restaurant's served meal is really one for the books!

So this is how my review for Dine 'N Dash went:

"One of the best American Diners on the outskirts of Metro Manila! From Pasig, it is now located at SM Taytay. FUN FACT: Dine 'N Dash was originally called Burger Shack but was changed at the last minute. The new name was inspired from the game Diner Dash. All of the recipes were creatively crafted by the owner, Mr. Jun Go. 

Dine 'N Dash has 3 main dishes and these are Pasta, Chicken Wings and Burger. Since I have an outright obsession with Pasta, I tried it first. Among all the pasta that was served, (Seafood Bleu Cheese, Aglio Olio & Spaghetti Bolognese) Seafood Bleu Cheese won my heart. Though they all tasted really good. For Aglio Olio, I loved how they innovatively replaced the conventional seafood with chicken meat. And for their burger, I commend their Signature Finisher. The grilled beef patty was really juicy and the combination of it with allummettes, sliced cheese and chipotle mayo was truly the bomb. After trying the burger, I was curious to know how their Flavored Chicken Wings would differ from other resto. After a few bites, I've already distinguished what made their Chicken Wings stand out among all the others. Compared to them, Dine 'N Dash's chicken wings meat has a biting taste up to its bones."
