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 »
guess I don’t really need to confess here, but it’s been a while. In fact, as I’m writing about Malcolm’s De La Costa, they are now closed. I think they’re moving somewhere else or probably renovating. The fact that they’ll be back is the only reason why I’m taking the time to bullshit write about it. I’ve written about Malcolm’s ...

eli’s are fucking awesome. Aside from the occasional salads, it’s stocked with good quality meat, awesome craft beers, and cured meat. I call that “man food” and we here at Food Porn Junkies are men. Real men are secure enough to say, “I love meat in tube form.” So god damn it, I do. I love it. To start with, ... 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 »
’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 »
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 »
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 ... Read More »
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 »
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 ... Read More »
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 ... Read More »
