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 »
’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 »
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. ...

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, I overheard somebody raving about this ... Read More »
love the Salcedo Market. I enjoy it a lot more than Mercato Centrale / Midnight Mercato. A LOT more. I used to come a lot more often back when I still had a slot to park in Makati. OK, that came out wrong. Let me re-phrase: I used to frequent the Salcedo Market back when I owned a parking slot ... Read More »
irst of all, I just love that line “Christ, you know it ain’t easy!” It probably doesn’t have anything that’s remotely related to food. So why did I put that line? It’s from an old Beatles song called “The Ballad of John and Yoko.” The concept should be a dead give-away, even to non-Beatles fans, that a restaurant named “John ... Read More »
’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 »
