This post is long overdue (like about a year or two), but it just cannot be stressed enough even with all the raves and blogs already giving this place high regard: Poco Deli in Kapitolyo Pasig is all that a comfy neighborhood deli should be. Delicatessen is a term meaning “delicacies” or “fine foods”, with [...]

  One of the leading purveyors of quality craft beers in the Philippines has opened a bottle shop for a laid back in-store experience on the finer dimensions of beer. Global Beer Exchange bottle shop in Magallanes is the brainchild of Jim Araneta, whose aim is to share a more refined experience of drinking high [...]

The affluent partygoers of Manila will always remember the Embassy Superclub (and its sister establishments Cuisine and Cafeteria) that arose in the early 2000′s. And its reputation has been widely known to everyone, even those who are not familiar with the scene as well as its possible reasons for closing. With that, the people running [...]

Back in the launch of Trufflefinder, it was a treat to find out that there is more than one speakeasy in Manila. But before that, there was one place that has been in our hearts, and in the hearts of the CNNGo people that featured this place. Blind Pig in Makati is probably one of [...]

Don’t we all look for a no-fail place, where we can hang out with good friends, get some tasty meals, indulge in some good drinks or distinctive beers, and just relax in the overall vibe of a music that matches the good taste of the food? People will always have that sanctuary of comfort. It [...]

That new Bonifacio High Street Central complex has livened up the Fort Bonifacio area even more. What with its more distinguished selection of restaurants and lifestyle boutiques. It really knows what the market has been looking for. Part of what they look for is a more sophisticated experience of eating already familiar American inspired comfort [...]

It seems like the Metro Manila foodie landscape is starting to appreciate the finer and more upscale gastronomic experience. What with the opening of the Bonifacio High Street Central, sparking an appetite to try something new while living out the cosmopolitan lifestyle that the relatively young working class work for through their hard earned money. [...]

Yes. Why would anyone go eat at Uncle Moe’s? Why would anyone want to be in a spartan concrete room adorned with heavy stroke paintings, walls echoing an eclectic mix of Sade’s Smooth Operator, TLC’s Creep, All Saint’s version of Under the Bridge, and then switches to “Homebase” from Cafe Del Mar’s 6th album? Here, [...]

So there was that story talking about getting stuck with a dead battery, saved by Motolite’s 24/7 Battery Delivery Service at 1:30 in the morning in some casual restaurant, thanks to some good food and margaritas good for four. This is now the story that talks about that restaurant. Pino Restobar is one of the [...]

Who knew that somewhere just within the outskirts of the red light district of Makati City stands a good replica of an Enligsh Pub filled with all things sports complemented by some of the best beers in the world? Howzat (A play on the Cricket term “How’s That?”) Sports Bar is situated somewhere in Kalayaan [...]

“There is no sincerer love than the love of food.” Says George Bernard Shaw. Now, beer is sometimes considered food in some regions and by beer fanatics all around the world. And what better way to merge both loves than by creating a gastropub, like Draft Gastropub in Fort Bonifacio. Now there are already a few [...]

For lunch-seekers in the Fort Bonifacio and nearby Makati areas, Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge is the newest place to try. Once you discover the place, you’ll likely keep coming back.

For the Ortigas crowd, you need not go far to shun out the busy streets for a chill way to wind down for the day. The Winebar by the Chateau group is conveniently located in El Pueblo. Get your wine fix along with burgers, steaks, or oysters to name a few!

It has been over a year since the last visit to this place. And back then, it was still a concept being contemplated on. Now it is all ready for the diners of Manila. This post is dedicated with big thanks to the people of Autoindustriya.com, the Philippine’s premier automotive news website. It’s been one [...]

Chatime, my introduction into the flavorful and amazing world of milk tea.

Treffpunkt is German for “meeting place“. Usually it is a place where men meet to have a few pints of beer and tell stories and compare lederhosen (Here is a sample. We are not very knowledgeable nor thrilled on the reason for doing so.) Interestingly, a “treffpunkt” has existed here in the Philippines since 1986, never [...]
