Watch out for CPK’s Upcoming Pizzas on National Pizza Day!

Three new pizzas from California Pizza Kitchen are coming out soon. You may get to taste them in this year’s National Pizza Day.

We Just Can’t Stop Raving About Gino’s Pizza

Forgive us if it is starting to sound like we are paid hacks of Gino’s pizza. After all, three articles is probably enough to make you think so: – The First Gino’s Pizza where we discovered its Neapolitan style goodness – The Second Gino’s Pizza in Makati… – …and if you love Italian food, and have not eaten a burrata yet in your life, you are so missing out. (For reference, this…

Motorino Pizza Now in Manila

Yes. There are times when you just have to have that serene, me-time lunch. Just in the company of yourself and… a whole bottle of wine from Motorino? Basically what happened was that one type of wine was ordered, and the waitress pleasantly asked if it was for a bottle. Never knew my reputation precedes me, or she probably thought a guy eating a whole order of pizza alone would want…

Is Gino’s Pizza in Makati Worth the Visit?

If it is starting to sound like a hard sell (this is, after all, the second set of raves about Gino’s Pizza. First was for their very first store back in 2012), then we seek forgiveness. But feel sorry for yourselves also if you have not tasted their pizza yet. This is practically as close as it can get to the old style recipes. One bite, and it’s like returning…

Yellow Cab’s Mrs. Hudson’s Pizza

It was all over the radio going to work and returning home for the past few weeks. The first impression was that it sounded like a musical that was going to be played at the Resorts World in Manila, and then just suddenly talks about a sweet-salty, sauce-less pizza, a premium product of prosciutto and boursin (pronounced borsan) cheese. Not sure what boursin cheese was, but since the wife was…

Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza is Neapolitan Style Goodness

Here’s a nice little nook that some people from the Ateneo/Miriam/UP side of Katipunan would be most familiar with: Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza. There is something different on how a brick-oven, wood fired cooked pizza comes out when used with some fresh and tasty ingredients. Settled on a stone with even heat yet uneven flashes due to the flame, it produces an evenly cooked pizza with hints of charred splotches…

Uncle Cheffy – Rolled Up Pizza Goodness

Burgos Circle in the Fort Bonifacio Global City attracts food goers from all ages because of the diverse selections of cusines. American, Japanese, French, and even Persian cuisine are all represented here. With the plethora of options, there is no way that Italian food won’t be in the pot. Casual Italian/Continental dining is here to be exact in the form of Uncle Cheffy. Uncle Cheffy boasts of Brick Oven Panizza….

Papa John’s Pizza – Better Makes Best

There is no better comfort food for me than pizza.  While I have not gone out on a formal quest for the best pizza in town, I think I have come across what is the best pizza for me, by far. The brand’s slogan is “Better Ingredients.  Better Pizza.” We ordered a thin crust of the Super Papa which, has an assortment of meats, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and olives….

Focaccia – Pizza, another way

NOTE: AS DISCOVERED AROUND APRIL 27, 2012, THIS BRANCH HAS ALREADY CLOSED My favorite food for all time is pizza.  And it’s always an option when I look for comfort food (along with coffee, burgers, and ice cream). Now, the only innovations I know if pizza are the pizza pandesal and those pizza cones I have yet to try. And then they introduced the rolled up pizza. One of the…

Giving a Wheelchair One Course at a Time

Attending a Project Wheelchair charity dinner is not much about the culinary prowess and degustacion that you will encounter, as it is a story of how one family cares to spread the love that they have felt from a daughter and sister who has passed on and continues to look after them until this day. Dedet dela Fuente is known in Manila as the “Lechon Diva”, with her trademark stuffed…

Rice & Dough – Where Carbs are Good

Forget your no-carbs diet because you read that right: Rice & Dough will have a menu of carb-laden goodness, perfect for what they call: carbivores.

Project Pie Made Us Regret Not Going There Sooner

We are late to this party that have thrown a lot of raves for Project Pie. Launched a few years ago, Project Pie promised that it would bring in the idea that it can customize your pizza toppings to your heart’s content. With toppings giving you so much permutations on your pizza, how can it go wrong? Many friends have raved about it, but another one tipped about this new…

In Pictures – Hotel Rembrandt’s New Menu

Hotel Rembrandt has been an icon in the Quezon City landscape for as long as its contemporaries can remember. It was the first and premier hotel in the area, and it continues to evolve, with rooms that get newly appointed and its signature bar, Malt Room, being one of the more distinguished night spots this side of the metro.   Now, a breath of fresh air is brought into its…

Where to Get All The Lobster You Can Eat in Manila

Most restaurants will not really have lobster on the menu. Mainly because it is an expensive item that not everyone can really afford. And if a restaurant does carry it, costs an arm and a leg, and that’s only usually also, just for an arm and a leg part of a lobster (except in some far coastal town where you get it fresh. Here’s hoping Guiuan in Eastern Samar is…

Awesome Lego-tastic Sunday Brunches at Spectrum

Spectrum is where families should be at for Sunday brunches because they’re running the Awesome Sunday Brunch for the second time! See how the kitchen’s creativity runs wild as they take the iconic toy brick’s inspiration to new culinary heights while mixing them with equally iconic Philippine landmarks.

Dinner Conversations with the Chef at Cafe Ysabel

It was a rainy Friday evening, the kind you dread going out into because of the traffic you anticipate.  But this was no ordinary Friday evening.  And our destination was more of a mission – something that has to be carried out at all costs. . A dinner at Cafe Ysabel with Chef Gene Gonzalez himself and good friends is not something to be trifled with.  It was a generous…

Mother’s Day at Discovery Primea’s Tapenade

A few months ago, Tapenade, the first of many restaurants of Discovery Primea, opened to the public. Tapenade was to be a restaurant that features some inspirations of dishes that can be found in the Italian, Spanish, and Mediterranean regions. And with rave reviews from both blogs and printed media, who can’t not think of having Mother’s Day there? Tapenade had a set menu for that day (they called it…

Wake Me Up With a Staple and Perk!

This new coffee shop opened near the place of work, replacing the Italian restaurant that used to be situated in the Ecoplaza building in Makati City. Quite a good replacement, too! There really is not a decent coffee shop that is within walking distance at this place. Staple and Perk, though, calls itself a bakery, with its freshly made breads and the coffee products that go along with it. And boy…

If You Love Italian Food and Haven’t Eaten Burrata, You’re Missing Out

Foodies have probably heard of what a burrata is. And if you haven’t, and you are a lover of cheese, then you need to have one as soon as possible. It all looks quite simple: It’s like a giant ball of buffalo mozzarella.  But the treat lies the moment you pierce that gummy “skin”, and out oozes combination of molten buffalo mozzarella and delicious cream. Normally in most countries with…

Mesclun Brings to Everyone: Lush Hour

When the word “Lush” was being researched for this post, this is what Google gave as the formal definition:   And then there was the informal one: We will be focusing on the latter, particularly its use on the word “Lush Hour” Given some flexibility of defining this term, Lush Hour is now personally defined as a period of the day where you can drink as much as you want…

Mesclun Bistro Comes to Eastwood

AS OF JANUARY 3, 2015, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS PLACE HAS CLOSED. Looks like the Mesclun brand is gaining legs and growing. The very first Mesclun branch was actually inside the Linden Suites, established some time late of 2012. Relatively hidden, those who took the effort to get to it though are rewarded with possibly the best sisig-cream pasta in the metro, partnered with comforting flatbreads and a deliciously…
