Eat Fresh: Famous Hong Kong Street Food

IMG_4146

‘ll say this right off the bat: you’d have to be an idiot to not like this place.  Unless you’re from Hong Kong, you have no right to say, “This is some fucked up shit they serve here.” They pretty much serve more-than-edible Chinese food at incredibly reasonable prices — plus they open until late at night! People usually get ... Read More »

The Old Oven Art Cafe

IMG_5026

SDA Prime.  Ribeye.  600 bucks.  Do you really need any other reason to visit this place?  Old Oven Art has been getting some publicity over the past few month and apparently, this little shop along White Plains is said to serve a mean cheese steak as well.  And what deranged bastard does not like a fucking cheese steak? Things started ... Read More »

Healthy and Good Burgers

IMG_3440

henever anyone brands anything as “healthy AND good,” you typically get 1 out of 2.  At most — and it’s rarely the “good” part.  So I was pleasantly surprised when I actually found the burgers at Good Burgers to be pretty  fucking awesome.  The way Good Burgers does it is by using chicken and veggie patties.  Suffice to say, there ...

SuZhou Dimsum: My Favorite Set of Spareribs

IMG_3212

‘ve always been intrigued with SuZhou Dimsum.  I pass by it often and “Su” is actually my family’s ancestral name.  I’m a god damn idiot for not trying this place out, but I’m glad I finally came to my senses. SuZhou is actually a Taiwanese restaurant.  Yeah, I know why chinky-eyed bastards all look the same to you guys, but ... Read More »

Ang Mo Kio: Singaporean Cuisine at The Podium

IMG_3344

sian cuisine is surprisingly expensive in the Philippines.  Ponder that for a second.  Go on.  Go on.  Pho Hoa is pretty expensive and don’t even get me started on Ba Noi’s or any of the Japanese places we have here.  In fact, if you eat European cuisine here, it’s much much cheaper than the prices over in France or Italy.  ...

Red Buffalo Wings and Pizza

IMG_3170

have to admit that I don’t remember a lot about Red Buffalo.  It doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t good.  It probably has to do more with my terrible memory and the fact that this has taken so long ago.  What I do remember is exactly the date of my visit: April 29, 2012.  When this happened: So yeah, I dreaded ...

Ristras Greenhills: So Close

IMG_3544

f you’re looking for one of the better Mexican food in Manila, you don’t have to look far.  Ristas first opened in Greenhills and opened a second branch in The Fort, which Marc visited a while back.  I veered away from the usual Mexican stuff and tried some other menu items.  Now, let me say this right off the bat: ...

Malcolm’s De La Costa: The Incredibly Expensive Burger

IMG_3666

guess I don’t really need to confess here, but it’s been a while.  In fact, as I’m writing about Malcolm’s De La Costa, they are now closed.  I think they’re moving somewhere else or probably renovating.  The fact that they’ll be back is the only reason why I’m taking the time to bullshit write about it. I’ve written about Malcolm’s ... Read More »

Poco Deli: Simple Little Deli Along Kapitolyo

IMG_5034

eli’s are fucking awesome.  Aside from the occasional salads, it’s stocked with good quality meat, awesome craft beers, and cured meat.  I call that “man food” and we here at Food Porn Junkies are men. Real men are secure enough to say, “I love meat in tube form.”  So god damn it, I do.  I love it.  To start with, ... Read More »

Cafe Sweet Inspirations: Awesome Mongolian Joint

IMG_3243

ne of the places I loved to try (but never did) was Cafe Sweet Inspirations — right across that school with the blue rooster.  Why you say?  Let’s just say the 180-peso price tag was a wee bit too much for me.  I absolutely love my Mongolian rice bowl and the better alternative then was a place called Kublai’s, which ...
