have to admit that I don’t remember a lot about Red Buffalo. It doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t good. It probably has to do more with my terrible memory and the fact that this has taken so long ago. What I do remember is exactly the date of my visit: April 29, 2012. When this happened: So yeah, I dreaded ... Read More »
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 »
’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 »
hile I’m a big fan of BBQ’ing and grilling, Korean food is surprisingly unappealing to me. I’m not exactly sure why that is. My best guess is that Korea was my childhood worst-ever trip. It was filled with Koreanovela shooting locations (which I never watched or even knew about) and steamed vegetables. Worst. Trip. Ever. It’s either that or the ... Read More »
f you attended my old high school , one tradition (for lack of a better term) is really to have walked from the school all the way to Greenhills Shopping Center, when it was still called Virra Mall. It was about a 2km. walk and the best place to chow then was Le Ching. More specifically, sparerib rice. Even today, ... Read More »
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 ...

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 »
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 »
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 »
