Food Post: Bigg’s Diner @ SM Batangas

10.17.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

AJ and I were at Batangas, my mother’s hometown, last Sunday for a family get-together.  It’s become our habit to go to SM Batangas after lunch to escape from the afternoon heat and to have coffee at Starbucks hehe.

I have been frequenting this mall for years now, but it was only last Sunday that I saw a Bigg’s Diner outlet at the ground floor.  I almost screamed when I saw this familiar logo:

Nice American diner theme!

I was introduced to Bigg’s Diner by my office colleagues from Naga City, who served us Bigg’s Extreme Supreme Burgers in one of our office meetings there.  Oh my, it was LOVE at first bite for me! Napa-“Siram!” ako!

Check out the generous toppings!  These are our take-out burgers, which we heated in our convection oven for that lightly toasted look.

I think what made this burger and me click is that it does not have plain mayonnaise as condiment.  I hate plain mayonnaise!

Unlike other burgers, Bigg’s Extreme Supreme Burger has a mayo dressing that tasted of blue cheese and garlic (at least to me).  The burger patty, although not grilled, has a very pleasant taste which reminded me of McDonald’s burgers.

And why would I be surprised with that?  After all, Bigg’s Diner started out as “Mang Donald’s” back in the early ’80s, then evolved to “Carl’s Diner” in the ’90s and now “Bigg’s Diner”.  I hope the name will stick this time!

Anyway, since I discovered Bigg’s and this super yummy burger, panay parinig na ako to our visiting office colleagues from Bicol to bring me Bigg’s burger!  Minsan napapagbigyan naman ako, hehe!

But with this Bigg’s Diner outlet in Batangas, my Bigg’s burger cravings are now very solvable!  AJ and I can easily get to Batangas as it is just an hour-and-a-half drive from our home, while Naga is almost an 8-hour drive (yikes!).

Aside from the Extreme Supreme Burger, Bigg’s best sellers include the Crispy Chicken, Baby Back Ribs and Italian Spaghetti.  AJ would like to try the Baby Back Ribs next time.  But me, I’ll stick to my good ‘ol burger favorite which I am now finally reunited with – thanks to this Bigg’s franchise in SM Batangas!

And because I am such a big fan, AJ bought this cool souvenir mug for me!

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito

It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋

It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
