y sister’s been bugging me to try out Chelsea for the longest time. We’ve passed by their Podium branch dozens of times now and we’ve actually planned to eat there for some time now. It just never happened. I had been looking forward to it mainly because of good reviews and constant recommendations from different people. First sign of a ... 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 »
have to come clean here. I’m biased. I’ve said it before, but I think I need to qualify this statement: I love the traditional taste of certain cuisines. I mean, the best way to eat anything for me is to eat it the way locals do. Like, if I’m in Rome, you won’t see me putting ketchup on my spaghetti. ... 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 »
here are probably two things you need to know about me. First, I’m a lazy driver. I wish I had a driver. I’d get a few more winks and kill less cells with road rage for Manila’s finest traffic. I probably won’t go out unless I really really need to. Or unless I’m really really bored. Really. Second thing, I ... Read More »
’m in pretty much a no-spending budget so I can’t afford to eat out as much as I did. And I’m try to eat my fair share of quality places on a fair budget. One of the deals I found Toro’s Degustation Menu on Deal Grocer. I don’t really know much about Toro, although my sister was saying Chef Sau ... Read More »
K, I know this is a pretty late entry since the Food Sale in Megamall was ended about 3 weeks ago. But yeah, Megamall had a Food Sale for that weekend and it was really the reason why we went there. Unfortunately, it was almost like a big scam. So being the cheap bastard that I am, it took quite ... Read More »
e’ve been through breakfast before at Flapjacks. They left me unusually full at an unusually early time of the day because I’m not really used to having a heavy breakfast. But I couldn’t resist when I heard about the best pancakes in Manila is served at Malcolm’s. I know what you’re thinking. Malcolm’s? That place with a 400-peso burger and ... Read More »
ver notice that the Philippines is a trending type of country, especially in the restaurant business? I mean look at the pearl shake phase where you had Zagu being commercially successful, then all those pearl shake stalls mushroomed about the Metro. Then this milk tea craze started with the Serenitea’s that have ushered in stores such as Happy Lemon and ... Read More »
