here’s this secret restaurant near Rockwell and I’ve been hearing it for quite some time now. No name, no signage, just “Secret Resto.” Sounds interesting and even serves Hunan cuisine. The unlimited rice (for about 25 bucks), which I found out about later, is just a bonus. Officially, the place has a name: You Jie Xiao Chao, which translates to ... Read More »
love my Buffalo wings. Which idiot doesn’t? They’re fried, they’re fatty, they’re skinny, and they’re spicy! So why do I have Sunrise Buckets as my go-to wing place? To start with, proximity. Second, there’s a pretty good vibe to the place. Third, they have solid wings with pretty interesting flavors. If you need another reason, then you probably need to ... Read More »
while back, I wrote about Everything at Steak being one of my go-to places after a workout. Borough takes it one step further: It’s a great hangover comfort food joint. Conveniently, it’s open 24/7. Borough’s concept is based around the New York boroughs. No surprise that American fare is served. Great way to start is the Grilled Cheese and Tomato ... Read More »
love my fresh pasta! It’s one of the things I loved about Bistro Ravioli and it’s one of the things that excited me about coming to Va Bene. A reunion with my college buddies was a great excuse to brave the Makati traffic. First of all, they have a shitty location. It’s located inside a gas station that charges for ... Read More »
here are only 4 words you need to know here: fresh, pasta, brick, oven. I know what you’re thinking: I’ve had some pretty good pizza and pasta before, does it really make a difference? Yes, it does, my friend. Yes. It. Does. There are some advocates of dry pasta out there and they have their own compelling arguments for it, ... Read More »

For me, the most convenient place to get this is at Everything at Steak (EAS) and it really hits the mark. It’s times like these ... Read More »
emember the days when the most common concept of steak was when it was served in a sizzling plate? Nowadays, we would probably call it fake steak because honestly, that was no way to treat a piece of meat. Still, there was one that was better than most and it was probably served by the House of Minis. It’s probably ... Read More »
have a confession to make: I love eating at The Frazzled Cook. I’ve been coming to this place for quite some time now and I’ve almost never had a bad meal. I love the fact that it doesn’t feel cheap, doesn’t feel crowded with the tuck-away location, and it just feels comfortable. The first thing you’ll notice is the decor. ... Read More »

Each time you visit, the taste and the emotion of every bite should be the same It’s all about execution, execution, execution! Amici originally ... Read More »
