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 ... Read More »

Elbert’s Cheesesteak Sandwiches: Beef. Cheese. Bun
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 »
Fruit Magic SM Mezza Residences
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 »
Tong Yang Jupiter: Closing Time
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 »
Li Garden Sharks Fin Seafood Restaurant
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 ... Read More »
Stop Over Pizza: Gem of the Midnight Mercato
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 ... Read More »
Chelsea Market and Cafe
y sister’s been bugging me to try out Chelsea for the longest time. We’ve passed by their Podium branch dozens of times now and we’ve actually planned to eat there for some time now. It just never happened. I had been looking forward to it mainly because of good reviews and constant recommendations from different people. First sign of a ... Read More »

e’re foodpornjunkies.com. The restaurant’s name is Orale. It’s a match made in heaven. First, a little background: Orale is the first in a chain of restaurants being planned for 2012.

New Bombay: Finally Getting It Right
’m going to say it right off the bat: I love New Bombay! Ever since I first tried it a few years back, I’ve always had a soft spot for New Bombay. I have no idea how authentic or how close the food is with real Indian cuisine but I’ve just realized that I’ve been eating Indian food the wrong ... Read More »
Toro Restaurant and Bar: The Deal Grocer Special
’m in pretty much a no-spending budget so I can’t afford to eat out as much as I did. And I’m try to eat my fair share of quality places on a fair budget. One of the deals I found Toro’s Degustation Menu on Deal Grocer. I don’t really know much about Toro, although my sister was saying Chef Sau ... Read More »
