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 ... Read More »
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 ... Read More »
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 ...

emember college? Fairly young, fairly naive, knees and back that still don’t give out on you, but ultimately — broke. So it’s natural that any meal above a 100 bucks seemed like a fortune back then. Although I’m still almost as cheap as I was back in the day, I find myself a lot more willing to splurge the extra ... Read More »
’m not a big fan of the Inasal Craze in Manila. It started a while back and I’ve never understood what made it so good. It seems simple enough. If you try and Google “Chicken Inasal,” it’s supposed to be this blend of ingredients that should make one hell of a grilled chicken. But leave it up to the fast ... Read More »
f you’ve ever worked for a big corporation, you’d know there are certain people who like to throw around jargon and buzzwords that make things sound really impressive but are really just a load of bull. Here, I’d like to throw in one of these buzzwords: Corporate Social Responsibility. I honesty did not want to write about Taberna Barcelona Tapas ... Read More »
hile I’m a big fan of BBQ’ing and grilling, Korean food is surprisingly unappealing to me. I’m not exactly sure why that is. My best guess is that Korea was my childhood worst-ever trip. It was filled with Koreanovela shooting locations (which I never watched or even knew about) and steamed vegetables. Worst. Trip. Ever. It’s either that or the ... Read More »
f you attended my old high school , one tradition (for lack of a better term) is really to have walked from the school all the way to Greenhills Shopping Center, when it was still called Virra Mall. It was about a 2km. walk and the best place to chow then was Le Ching. More specifically, sparerib rice. Even today, ... Read More »
verytime the NBA trade deadline approaches, it’s like the guy’s version of gossip. Who’s going where and for whom and whatnot. I was reading today’s chismis and apparently Dwight Howard has told the Magic management that he’d like to stay in Orlando for the rest of the year… Presumably to bolt to another team next year without gutting his team ...

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 ... Read More »
