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 »
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 »
emember college? Fairly young, fairly naive, knees and back that still don’t give out on you, but ultimately — broke. So it’s natural that any meal above a 100 bucks seemed like a fortune back then. Although I’m still almost as cheap as I was back in the day, I find myself a lot more willing to splurge the extra ... 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 »
f you’ve ever worked for a big corporation, you’d know there are certain people who like to throw around jargon and buzzwords that make things sound really impressive but are really just a load of bull. Here, I’d like to throw in one of these buzzwords: Corporate Social Responsibility. I honesty did not want to write about Taberna Barcelona Tapas ... 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 ...

’ve heard about Milky & Sunny for the longest time now. For about a 2-week stretch, I coulnd’t stop hearing about this place from blogs, word of mouth, and through Twitter. Seriously, it was like the next Linsanity, but not as flocked as Lugang when it first opened. But because we here at Food Porn Junkies are responsible eaters, we ... 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 »
