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 »

Cafe Sweet Inspirations: Awesome Mongolian Joint
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 »
JT’s Manukan: The Best Inasal in Manila
’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 »
Yabu: House of Katsu
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 ...

Papa John’s Pizza: A Little Change of Heart
’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 »
Angel’s Kitchen in Greenhills
t must be at least 5 years since my first (and only) visit to Angel’s Kitchen. Quite ironic that it’s the places that are fairly near that you don’t get to. I think I did try to grab a meal here, but the place was packed and parking was a bitch. That’s gotta be a great sign, right? I was ... Read More »
Isabelo Garden Restaurant: Marikina Road Trip for Our 2011 Reunion
very year, my high school buddies and I meet up at least once a year. It’s usually a Christmas / year-ender get-together and we almost always opt for some sort of a buffet meal. I wanted something different this year and Isabelo Garden was a place that I’ve been hearing constantly. My cousin was telling me it was the best ... Read More »
Trippin’ in Greece Part 5: Good Start in Taverna Rozalia
ou always want to start off any trip well. Always. And considering the stress we had encountered with planning our trip to Greece and a curveball to our plans, lunch at Taverna Rozalia was a good start to what became a great trip. And expectations were a bit high. Rozalia is listed by TripAdvisor as #45 out of 694 eateries ... Read More »
Cyma: Manila’s Version of Greek Food
yma is not the only restaurant that serves Greek food in the Philippines. Greek cuisine is mediterranean in nature. You will see the same things like kebab, shawarma (or gyro’s in their case), salads, etc. I’ve been here a few times, but I was set to go to Greece and I wanted to compare Cyma’s authenticity to real Greek cuisine. ...

The Cheese Steak Shop Review!
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, Mia’s friend was raving about this ... Read More »
