Milky & Sunny: Not So Latest Breakfast Craze

IMG_2731

’ve heard about Milky & Sunny for the longest time now.  For about a 2-week stretch, I coulnd’t stop hearing about this place from blogs, word of mouth, and through Twitter.  Seriously, it was like the next Linsanity, but not as flocked as Lugang when it first opened.  But because we here at Food Porn Junkies are responsible eaters, we ...

Tong Yang Jupiter: Closing Time

IMG_2700

irst of all, let me just say that Tong Yang in NOT closing shop.  Indulge me for a few minutes and the title will make more sense. I’ll just say it out loud now: I love Tong Yang.  I love the yakiniku concept and Tong Yang was really one of the first to do this.  So there might be the ... Read More »

L’Incontro Ristorante Italiano: My Best Italian Meal… By Far

IMG_2646

his won’t sound new but I’ve been passing by L’Incontro everyday for 3 years and I’ve never gone in.  I’m serious.  And it’s not like I haven’t heard about it.  It’s just every time I pass on my way home, I just keep thinking “I want to go home!”  Especially after pretending to work (and stealing paychecks) after a hard ...

Li Garden Sharks Fin Seafood Restaurant

IMG_2557

urns out that the day wasn’t so bad after all.  But it gets even better.  My uncle read about this promo about a new Chinese restaurant along Macapagal Ave. and we heard it was actually pretty good.  Now if there are a bunch of harsher food critics (especially of Chinese food), it would definitely be my family on my mother’s ...

Ba Noi’s: Noodle Day!

IMG_2623

irst of all, I’ve been hearing about this place serves the best authentic pho in Manila.  When you start reading the online menu and you see that they serve Bun Cha?  I’m there! The place looks great when you go in.  They decorated the place with different photographs of Saigon and Hanoi and it has a good modern Asian feel ... Read More »

Il Ponticello Cafe Ristorante

IMG_2584

while back, I was invited to a despedida/birthday dinner of one of my old colleagues.  I would’ve highlighted and underlined the word “old” but I still feel grateful for this meal.  I can’t believe that having worked 3 years in the area, I’ve never stepped foot inside Il Ponticello before.  Actually, I can believe it.  That place is expensive!  At ...

Banana Leaf: Procrastination at Its Finest

IMG_2517

e here at Food Porn Junkies are procrastinators!  And I try to mean that in the most cool/care-free way.  I’ve reached a personal low, though.  I’ve actually tried out Banana Leaf early in the year.  By the time I’m posting this, I’ve already gone back a 2nd time, which is why you guys (if there are actually any readers out ...

Papa John’s Pizza: A Little Change of Heart

IMG_2499

’ve heard about Papa John’s Pizza for quite some time now.  Even before they set up shop here.  They’re the ones that’s been getting air-time with their concession stand in the Miami Heat arena.  They’ve had that cheesy tag line “Better ingredients.  Better pizza” line for the longest time now.  Get it, cheesy jeje?  OK, that was bad. Moving on… ... Read More »

Hermanos Taco Shop: A Little Assist from TV

IMG_2490

usually get stuck when deciding where to go.  ”Anywhere” seems to be the standard reply.  I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.  I found a pretty good way of going about this and it’s turning on the Travel Channel!  In my case, it was the Mexico episode of No Reservations and it was as good a time as any ...

Dimsum Feast at Xin Tian Di

IMG_2199

imsum is one of the greatest things in this world.  Seriously. It’s Chinese tapas, or maybe tapas should be called the Spanish dimsum.  Small bites you can have anytime of the day.  And even if they are steamed, they don’t suck. Dimsum is traditionally a light, tea-time meal.  But with my cousins coming from all over, we decided for a ... Read More »
