#mongolian barbeque

[milkchuggs]

I got Mongolian barbeque for lunch and the family in line in front of me couldn't figure out which bowl was which person's. Ludicrous. Everybody knows you watch every slightest movement of your noodles on the grill like you're a panther ready to pounce.

Cafe Sweet Inspirations: A Katipunan Institution

Katipunan Avenue has definitely changed throughout the years. Having lived near the area for a long time during my growing up years, I frequently pass by this busy avenue which is mostly used by students and parents from the three big neighboring schools, Ateneo de Manila University, University of the Philippines, and Miriam College. I remember going inside the Ateneo campus when I was only seven years old to attend my summer soccer camp and seeing all these restaurants at Katipunan Avenue along the way. Most of them have come and gone in the past two decades, but there are some that have remained in place. One of those institutions that have solidly remained standing and unchanged is Cafe Sweet Inspirations.

Sweet Inspirations is a restaurant, bakeshop and catering company that continues to serve its customers in the last 24 years since it opened in 1990. It is one of the oldest and long-standing establishments along the Katipunan Avenue commercial strip which is now dominated by giant food chains. Despite this, Sweet Inspirations has maintained a following among students, families, and alumni who have fell in love with its homey interiors and home-cooked scrumptious food.

Managed by Mrs. Cristina Echevarria, a trained nutritionist, Sweet Inspirations ensures that the best quality ingredients are always being used, strictly maintaining that no MSG's and no food extenders are used in their food preparation.

Even if I had been passing by this cafe for the last 15 years, it was just now my first time to enter its doors and try out what keeps its loyal customers coming back. Oh, I even saw Gilas Pilipinas player and former Ateneo Blue Eagle Larry Fonacier and his son dining here during my visit. Too bad I was too shy to get a photo, haha.

Aside from delicious home-cooked meals, Sweet Inspirations also serves as a bakery offering mouth-watering cakes and pastries.

However, the main specialty that Sweet Inspirations prides itself with is its Mongolian Buffet (P340), regarded by its customers as one of the best offered in Metro Manila. I have already tried Mongolian Quick-Stop inside a mall before but I did not really like it. Sweet Inspirations' Mongolian Buffet was what I came here to try so let's see if what they say about it is indeed true.

A Mongolian Buffet setup is one where you can customize and choose your own ingredients including rice, vegetables, meat, fish, and even your own flavors and seasoning which will all be grilled together. This is usually an eat-all-you-can affair and you can get multiple bowls thereafter. Sweet Inspirations also offers a Single Bowl (P210) option on weekday lunches, but I was going for the unlimited option. I added Bottomless iced tea (P65) to complement my order.

The first step is to grab a bowl and put your rice or noodles. I prefer rice because it absorbs more of the flavors. Don't put too much as there are many other ingredients to follow that might not fit in your bowl later.

Next are the vegetables. Choose whatever you like. Add chilis if you wish to put more spice into the bowl.

You then have the option of choosing the flavor of your Mongolian bowl. You can just follow the recommended ingredients on their flavors guide depending on your preference, or you can just mix the seasonings as you wish. I went for the Sweet version first.

Lastly, you have a lot of meat choice to choose from. In fact, I did not have to choose, I just got all of them and put them in my bowl. Beef, Pork, Chicken are all for the taking. Unlike other Mongolian outlets which scrimp on the meat portions by just giving you one small serving, here you can get as many as you want. If you want to fill your bowl with just beef and nothing else then you can do so.

Seafood items are also available like squid, squid balls, and fish fillet. You can really get your money's worth with these ingredients.

Of course, being a meat lover, I piled on my fill of beef on top of my bowl which was already bursting from all my choices. I gave my Mongolian bowl to the counter and they gave me a number.

After a few minutes, the waiter served my customized Mongolian bowl to my table. It was gleaming and full of meat and goodies. When I tasted my Mongolian bowl, I was delighted by its flavors. It was definitely not bland like what I previously tried at other Mongolian restaurants. The meat items were also thick and juicy, a far cry from other chains which give you tiny microscopic portions of meat which turns the your order into more of a vegetable bowl.

I enjoyed my Mongolian bowl so much that I quickly had another bowl after I finished the first one. This time I loaded more of the seafood items especially squid and fish fillet. The fish fillet was another item to praise. It tasted fresh and tender, a testament to the high quality ingredients they use for the Mongolian Buffet as well as the other a la carte items on the menu.

What can I say? Cafe Sweet Inspirations definitely lives up to its reputation of having one of the best Mongolian Buffets in the Metro. Had I known about this before, I would probably already be one of the loyal customers who keep coming back to this comfy cafe in front of the bustling Katipunan Avenue gridlock while re-living their high school and college days. Even if new buildings and restaurants have popped out besides it, I hope that Cafe Sweet Inspirations will remain rooted in its place to continue serving its loyal clientele.

Flattop it Up.

I’ve flirted with acquiring and operating a small business for a few years.  My friend Kal and I were actually on the doorstep of opening a falalfel franchise in Chicago called Maoz, but decided against it at the eleventh hour; not because of the menu though – the falafels are amazing.   Kal has since started an online publication that aims to bring much needed transparency (financial, diligence) to the space.  Check it out at www.thefranchisehound.com.

On that note, I wanted to share one of my favorite restaurant concepts: Flattop Grill.  It’s Midwestern based, so those of you who aren’t acquainted, think Mongolian BBQ but with less emphasis on the meat and more focus on developing a great dish. The setup is simple. Four walls, a self-serve bar where you pile on veggies, gourmet sauces, and meats; and a huge hibachi grill.  Flattop provides ingredients for staple dishes (Kung Pau, Pad Thai, Veggie Woks) , but encourages you to Top Chef your own meals.   The service is friendly and atmosphere is cozy but lively, a far cry from Mongolian’s stadium like feel.

I’ve evaluated many restaurant retailers as acquisition opportunities – both franchised and independent (Flattop unfortunately does not franchise) – and have isolated a few key drivers for a successful chain concept.

(1) Customer Acquisition & Retention.  How do they attract customers and how to do the keep customers – especially in recessionary periods.

(2) Sustainable Financial Model. Do they have manageable rent? Do they lack big salary items (chefs, managers)?  Do they have above average transaction prices? How expensive is it to build out?

(3) Scalability. Is the business dependent on a certain customer demographic?  Does it require a personality (e.g., a chef)? Is the average transaction price affordable across demographics?

In every instance, Flattop meets or passes these tests.  Their Asian/American fusion menu is attractive to most US consumers – just think of the popularity of Asian quick service restaurants in America.  It costs $11.99 for a a giant bowl of food (very affordable) and $13.99 for all you can eat, which is at the lower end of the price range  for dining out consumers, but significantly higher than it’s quick service peers like Panera or Chipotle. The all you can eat option is extremely appealing to college students and twenty somethings.  They have a bar AND are children friendly.  And their prompt yet high touch customer service makes customers want to come back.

They are a simple four wall concept (i.e., small box store) which means lower rent.  There is no need for a full service kitchen – just a prep station – as the cooking is primarily done on the external hibachi.  The low rent and simple decor offsets the one significant capital purchase of black iron ventilation to support the hibachi setup.   The restaurant does not require a an in-house or high-priced chef as it’s the user who selects the food and a salaried employee who fries it.

Flattop can quickly turnover (fill all seats and then refill with new customers) it’s entire store at an above average ticket price.  It has low costs (no kitchen, chef) and a small box space.  Customers get significant bang (and flavor – the sauces are amazing) for their buck.  While it’s not available for franchising (independently owned), I believe it’s replicable and scalable across the US.  Families, college kids on a budget, business professionals, and  friends out for dinner and drinks  all fit as Flattop consumers.   I know I can’t get enough.
