Circles at Makati Shangri-La: Just Another Buffet?

IMG_3592

had a whole post on Circles Event Cafe written before this one.  It was a brilliant, humorous, even poignant piece of work.  One that I accidentally deleted.  Because I am a moron.  Just sharing.  On to the buffet! I have a love-hate relationships with buffets.  I love them, but I hate myself afterwards.  But hey, I insist on abusing my ... Read More »

Elbert’s Cheesesteak Sandwiches: Beef. Cheese. Bun

Test 1

like cows.  They’re cute, they’re docile, and they are delicious, especially when served on a bun.  With onions and cheese.  I believe that the universe, in its infinite universal wisdom, made cows slow and trusting expressly so that humanity may one day know the delights of beef.  Throughout the short but storied history of mankind, many a culture have deigned ...

We’re Back!

Test 2

nd we’re back!  There are questions to answer, such as: “Were we ever gone?”  “Were we ever here?”  And “Why is this asshole spouting all this existential crap?  This is a food blog, dammit, show me something smothered in butter!” All valid questions that I will address, culminating in a photograph of the Food Porn Junkies team covered in butter ...

Fruit Magic SM Mezza Residences

IMG_2670

y first encounter with Fruit Magic was at Fitness First gym, ABS-CBN.  I thought it was actually part of the Fitness First franchise – after all, it was fruity and magical, just like how many of the gym’s alternative-preference clientele would describe themselves.  I hadn’t been to a Fruit Magic in a long time, until we checked out the SM ...

Stop Over Pizza: Gem of the Midnight Mercato

IMG_1203

consider myself a pizza lover.  By no means am I an expert – no, I leave that to the Italians and the people at Pizza Hut (jeje) – but I know what I like.  Lots of cheese, freshly baked dough, quality ingredients – this is what I look for in a pizza.  Now I’m relatively easy to please.  If the ...

The Cheese Steak Shop Review!

IMG_3438

t was Lester who first told me about it.  ”Hey,” he started, “there’s a new cheesesteak place in Makati.”  I’m usually wary of Lester’s recommendations, partly because we don’t exactly have the same tastes in food, mostly because he eats weird things like snake’s hearts.  I brushed it off.  A couple of weeks ago, I overheard somebody raving about this ...

Midnight Mercato at The Fort Part 2: Where We Taste and See “Wagyu” Beef

IMG_1209

love steak.  There is nothing I like better than a medium-rare, moist, pink, juicy slab of beef – marinated, salted, and peppered to perfection.  There’s something so carnal about carne, so inherently alive with every rib, sirloin, T-bone, porterhouse and tenderloin perfectly grilled over hot coals or pan-seared and fried in a thick cast-iron skillet.  The problem is that a ...

iven that our old hosting service screwed us over, we took some time off to improve foodpornjunkies.com, to better ourselves.  After some seriously hot and heavy live chat support sessions with our new hosting service that for propriety’s sake we cannot share here, we’re happy to be back faster than ever before, with unlimited storage space and bandwidth for our ...

Midnight Mercato at The Fort Part 1: Where We Bash the Burgers

IMG_1198

love burgers.  It’s beef, bread, and cheese – what’s not to love?  Nothing spells home and comfort better than a good old-fashioned burger.  In fact, I always order a burger when given the choice.  I’m in Canada, I order a burger.  I’m in Hong Kong, I order a burger.  Wherever in the world I’m at, I have had a burger.  ...
