Exploring The Yard Xavierville: A Nostalgic Foodie Adventure

 In the vibrant neighborhood of Xavierville Avenue, Quezon City, there once stood a lively food park known as The Yard Xavierville. This place wasn't just a food hub; it was a melting pot of flavors, creativity, and camaraderie. Located at 83 Xavierville Ave, Quezon City, The Yard was a haven for foodies seeking diverse and affordable gastronomical delights. Although it officially closed its doors in December 2024, it left behind unforgettable memories for those who had the chance to experience its magic.

A Culinary Wonderland

The Yard was no ordinary food park. It was a bustling venue filled with colorful stalls offering a wide range of cuisines—from Korean barbecue to Filipino street food, gourmet burgers, Japanese sushi, and even quirky dessert options like nitrogen ice cream. Each stall had its unique aesthetic, drawing you in with vibrant lights, creative signage, and mouthwatering aromas.

The food wasn’t just about taste—it was an experience. Whether it was a sizzling plate of Samgyupsal, a towering burger stack, or a meticulously crafted sushi roll, The Yard had something to cater to every craving.

Our Experience at The Yard

We visited The Yard Xavierville as a barkada (group of friends), and the experience was nothing short of epic. Alongside my close friends, Jaymie Lee and Mikki Labastida, we set out to indulge in the diverse offerings of this iconic food park.

The energy of The Yard was palpable. The mix of live music, the laughter of patrons, and the lively chatter from the stalls created an electric atmosphere. As we walked around, it was hard to decide where to start. Eventually, we opted for a little bit of everything:

• Korean BBQ: We couldn’t resist the aroma of sizzling Samgyupsal. The perfectly marinated meat paired with kimchi and unlimited sides was heavenly.
• Street Tacos: A blend of smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors exploded in our mouths with every bite.
• Milkshakes and Desserts: For dessert, we tried some towering milkshakes topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and cookies. It was indulgence at its finest.

We spent hours sharing stories, laughing, and savoring every bite. The Yard wasn’t just a place to eat—it was a venue to create memories.

Getting There

For those unfamiliar with the area, getting to The Yard Xavierville was fairly straightforward:

• From Cubao, you could head to Gateway Mall, then take the LRT-2 to Katipunan Station or hop on a jeep along Aurora Boulevard heading to Cogeo, SSS, Parang, or Calumpang.
• If coming from Katipunan Station or the Katipunan Flyover, you could either walk to Xavierville or take a quick tricycle ride from Esteban Abada.

Though it required a bit of effort, the journey was always worth it.

A Sad Farewell

It’s bittersweet to know that The Yard Xavierville has now closed. It was one of those rare places that brought together food, culture, and community. While its doors are no longer open, the memories it created for countless patrons will remain cherished.

If you’ve been to The Yard, you’ll understand the unique charm it held. It wasn’t just a food park—it was a place where friends bonded over shared meals, strangers became friends, and foodies discovered their next favorite dish.

Final Thoughts

Even though The Yard Xavierville has shut down, it serves as a reminder to cherish the experiences we share over food. For those who visited, it will always hold a special place in our hearts. And for those who missed it, we hope this blog paints a vivid picture of what was once an iconic food destination.

Here’s to The Yard Xavierville—a gastronomical adventure that we’ll always remember.

🎉 My 33rd Birthday During the Pandemic | A Simple Celebration 🎂

Hello, Tansyong Lovers! 🌟 Welcome to my 33rd Birthday Celebration vlog! 🎈 Despite the pandemic, I wanted to share this simple yet memorable day with all of you.

🛡️ Safety First: Celebrating Responsibly

Given the current situation, I decided to keep it low-key this year. Wearing our face masks and practicing safety protocols, my friend and neighbor joined me for a small but special treat.

🚗 The Plan: A Drive to Romantic Baboy

After months of staying home, I thought, “Why not treat ourselves to something comforting and indulgent?” So, we hopped in the car and drove to Romantic Baboy for some unlimited Samgyupsal. 🥓

The drive itself was refreshing—just a change of scenery felt like a mini getaway! The streets were quiet, and the weather was perfect, setting the mood for a relaxing day.

🍖 Unlimited Samgyupsal: Food for the Soul

Once we arrived at Romantic Baboy, we were impressed with their strict implementation of health protocols. Tables were spaced out, staff wore proper PPE, and everything was sanitized thoroughly.

Now, let’s talk about the food! From perfectly marinated meats to side dishes that hit the spot, every bite was a celebration. 🎉 Of course, we couldn’t skip the kimchi and cheese fondue—it’s a must for any Samgyupsal experience!

🥂 Cheers to Another Year

As we grilled and enjoyed our meal, I couldn’t help but reflect on how much has changed in the past year. Life during the pandemic has taught me to appreciate the little things and cherish the people around me.

We ended the meal with a toast to good health, happiness, and brighter days ahead. 🥂

🎁 A Heartfelt Thank You

To everyone who sent me birthday greetings, messages, and virtual hugs—you made my day extra special. Your love and support mean the world to me! 💖

This year’s celebration may have been simple, but it was filled with gratitude and joy. Sometimes, all you need is good food, great company, and a grateful heart.

Thank you for joining me in this short and sweet vlog. I hope you enjoyed celebrating my 33rd birthday with me. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more life updates and adventures!

🎄 Christmas Breakfast Party at Banapple | A Festive Start to the Holidays

The holiday season is always a special time to bond with colleagues, and this year, our office decided to kick things off with a breakfast party at Banapple, Tuscany, McKinley Hill. At 8 AM sharp, we gathered in the cozy and inviting ambiance of the restaurant, excited to share laughs, exchange gifts, and enjoy a delicious holiday spread. The warmth of the restaurant’s interior perfectly complemented the festive spirit, making it an ideal venue for a small yet meaningful celebration.

  🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

One of the highlights of the morning was the exchange gift activity with a twist.

This added a layer of excitement and joy, filling the air with laughter. The camaraderie among us, amplified by the holiday spirit, turned what could have been a regular breakfast into an unforgettable event. 

Golden Sunshine Corned Beef and Potatoes

The food at Banapple did not disappoint, living up to its reputation for serving hearty and flavorful dishes. My friends ordered a variety of menu items, including the Hickory Smoked Barbequed Country Ribs, which were tender and bursting with smoky flavors, and the Bacon Fried Chicken Steaks with Milk’shroom Gravy, a crowd favorite with its crispy chicken and creamy gravy topped with bacon bits. For dessert, the Banoffee Pie stood out with its sweet banana and toffee filling, buttery crust, and whipped cream topping.

Chicken parmigiano - tender chicken breast fillets encrusted in a parmesan crumb mixture topped with rich stewed tomato meat sauce and melted mozarella; served with corn relish

I personally tried the Golden Sunshine Corned Beef and Potatoes, and it was a delightful dish that hit all the right notes. The corned beef was shredded to perfection, paired with diced potatoes and caramelized onions, and served with seasoned rice and sunny-side-up eggs. The flavors were well-balanced and comforting—perfect for a festive breakfast. Price-wise, Banapple offers good value for money, with dishes ranging from ₱200 to ₱400, which is reasonable considering the generous portions and quality of food.

Hickory Smoked Barbequed Country Ribs

Overall, our Christmas breakfast party at Banapple was a wonderful way to celebrate the season. The combination of great food, a welcoming ambiance, and heartwarming activities made it a memorable experience for everyone. Whether you’re planning a holiday gathering or simply looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a good meal, Banapple Tuscany is a fantastic choice. 🎅✨

I ordered their 8-inch pepperoni pizza, and let me tell you, it was love at first bite!

• The Dough: Soft and spongy, reminiscent of a New York-style pizza crust. It had the same pillowy texture you’d find in an S&R pizza, yet it was distinct in its flavor and freshness.

Big statues with an Asian Theme bring the whole experience, seemingly, you're in Thailand.

If you've been to Thailand; this place in Calauan, Laguna might make you feel you have been there. It's a Thailand-inspired restaurant where your meals are served on the floating huts or "Kubo". It features bamboo cottages that are built on a pond, thus giving the illusion of floating native huts. It is also like a theme park due to its attractions of different huge statues from famous characters like President Obama, Disney characters, angry birds, lots of crocodiles, and even King Kong. In addition, you can even have a boat ride FOR FREE to go through the round-boating via a narrow canal within the area.

Just be sure to be there not on holidays or Sundays because the place could get overcrowded by so many international and local tourists. The said restaurant is situated along National Hwy, Bay, Laguna. 

Unfortunately, when we arrived at the area, it was peak hours on weekend. It was extremely busy. no one actually entertains us to check for available tables. So we decided to roam around and take pictures and left afterward heading to Rambulls Bakahan sa Tanay Restaurant. 

I cannot give any feedback on the foods because our goal of grabbing our meals turned into a quick ocular tour and picture-taking. Hopefully, I can go back there to fully experience this place. 

Meanwhile, the establishment offers a stress-releasing activity named Taksyapo. 

“Taksyapo” is an old Kapampangan word for “Bwisit!” At Isdaan Floating Restaurant, Calauan, Tarlac. It is being given a whole new meaning. You can distress yourself by shouting “Taksyapo” at the top of your lungs simultaneously throwing a plate or a mug - starting on the lowest price of P25.00, to a wall. You can even buy a TV and throw it.
