Zubuchon Makati

This episode of No Reservations put Zubuchon on the map not just in Cebu, but in the entire Philippines as Anthony Bourdain dubbed it “The Best Pig Ever”. Cebu is home to the best lechon (roasted pig) in the Philippines. And competition is tough. I’m just happy that Zubuchon finally put up a branch in my […]

Get drunk at Crying Tiger for Crying Out Loud

It’s my first day of following the daily themes I’ve set for myself.  So, even if I’m quite drunk and that it’s quite late (it’s already Saturday early morning, to be exact), I am forcing myself to write this post so that I don’t feel like such a loser on my first day. Crying Tiger. […]

Al Fresco Japanese at Yumi

I’m not really trying to be a food blogger, but whenever I do find restaurants that I think are worth my money, I would probably write about them here so that at least my friends (and you followers) will get to try it. Today, I had late lunch with my brother at Century City Mall. […]

Late Night Ramen in Makati

Have you ever had that craving for ramen, let’s say at 12 midnight, especially when it’s raining? Here are two ramen places in Makati that’s open to accommodate your cravings. Izakaya Hideyoshi Located along Makati Avenue, right across A. Venue Mall, this new Japanese restaurant is actually a sister restaurant of the famous Nihonbashitei along […]

Crepe Amelie

I’m not a big fan of desserts, so when I stumbled upon Crepe Amelie’s Dulce de Leche, it felt like love at first sight (or taste, rather). Just cutting through this masterpiece, cream oozing out of each layer of crepe – looks and feels so good. And the moment you take a bite – bursts […]

#Thirstday: The Bottle Shop

There was a time when I went out for drinks with friends every Thursday night, and we called it “Thirstday”. Today, I thought of reviving that tradition – it might not necessarily be with the same friends, but I wanted to introduce a different place each week where you could go chill and enjoy the weekend one night […]

Turning #Japanese again

Sunday was a day I revisited my Japanese “roots”. On the way to and from Laiya, we were playing Japanese music in the car. 4/5 were into Japanese music so for the first time, people didn’t ask me to change the music! My dream of going on a road trip while listening to Japanese music […]

#ELBI Tour – Baan Thai

After getting lost in the long and winding road of Makiling to get to St. Marc’s Chapel, we were starving! Debbie took us to this quaint Thai restaurant just outside the main gate of UPLB. It’s a small and humble place to be considered a “restaurant”, but the food is way better than most Thai restaurants […]

#MarikinaFoodTrip: Patio Vera

Marikina is the city of shoes, but it’s slowly building up to be a city of food. Good food at that! I don’t wander off to this part of the metro so often, so when FR friends invited me to join them, I didn’t think twice about it! First stop was Patio Vera for dinner. […]
