And through the years it’s more than just a restaurant for me. So, whenever theres a Goodah! sign i get excited! There may be so much changes, busy schedules, and passing years but Goodah! has remained a constant. Fastfoods sprouted everywhere but our cravings for the classics never truly fade.
Goodah! has transitioned from just a place to grab a quick bite into my definitive go-to for comfort food. Recently, I introduced Goodah to my nephews and their friends. It’s a rare miracle to get my nephews to eat anywhere that isn’t a fast-food chain, when I suggested trying Goodah!, I was thrilled they actually agreed. So, off to Goodah in Granada St. they go.
Since one of their friends is heading off to study in Baguio soon, the four of them wanted a memorable send-off meal. Looking at the menu, they immediately craved the classics:
Beef Nilaga – Beef Nilaga is Goodah! Ang ultimate comfort food! Loaded with fork-tender beef shanks, tendon, and vegetables, this Filipino-style soup is hearty and tasty.
Goto Special – Rice Porridge with Tripe and hard-boiled egg
Bilao 1 – a mix of Chicken and Pork BBQ, Lumpiang Shanghai and Jaca Rice
Ribs Silog – fried marinated ribs with Garlic Fried Rice
While waiting for the orders, they decided to check out the place. Goodah! in Granada is welcoming and big enough for a hearty meal. The current spots hit right for the younger crowd too. Especially the eye-catching wall decor and chairs where they had fun posing for photos. The place casual, laid-back environment is perfect for having satisfying meals or a gathering for family and friends.
When the food arrived, the table for four was absolutely packed! The Beef Nilaga, Goto Special, Ribsilog and Bilao 1 with the BBQ Chicken, Pork BBQ Lumpiang Shanghai and Java Rice looks like ije a feast to them. And also, paired with halo-halo, soda, and leche flan, the verdict was unanimous: “This food is FIRE!!!”
