’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 »

usually get stuck when deciding where to go. ”Anywhere” seems to be the standard reply. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

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.

Gumbo: Chickening Out A Bit
or the sake of transparency, I just have to say that this is not my first time in Gumbo. I just never really bothered to take good photos, but mostly, I just never bothered to write about it.

Kizuna Coffee Concepts: Gourmet Food with Coffee
’m usually skeptical about going to Banawe, not unless I want cheap parts for my car. There are good places to eat, but there’s a huge supply of really really cheap but mediocre food.

Kanzhu Hand-Pulled Noodles: It’s All About the Noodle
great piece of carb can really be as sexy as a great slab of meat. Fresh, pure, firm. Well, you get the picture. But the point is, a really high quality carb, whether it’s a noodle, spaghetti, rice, or a risotto, can really make or break a dish. It’s a dish in itself regardless of the sauce or topping. So ...
