A morning spent among other bloggers as we witnessed an actual cooking demo by French chef, Marc Chalopin, ADF + Enderun’s Executive Chef. It was a sample of the savoir-faire in culinary arts that can actually be learned from ADF + Enderun Colleges.
When the Greenbelt complex was built, it set the standards for aspirations of the Metro Manila folk when it comes to having a good night out in town. Bars, restaurants and movie theaters here are always a pleasure to visit and patronize. And it continues to do so until this day. So one night when a popular movie was out, there was time to have a comfortable but quick…
Not much Mexican cuisine can really be found in the Philippines, even in the Metro Manila area. From the years that have gone, the most that people will see of it is just a subset in a menu (mostly variations nachos and tacos like those in T.G.I. Friday’s) or the fastfood and food stall offerings you see in some malls. However, none of them seems to give quite a…
Like a story that’s beautifully written and told, Antonio’s Restaurant in Tagaytay offers you a perfect dining experience that will make you want to re-live it over and over again.
A day of feasting on Manila’s secret, not-so-secret, select and up-and-coming food brands, brought to us by Yummy Magazine.
Chuck’s Deli in Serendra located at the Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig has become quite famous through word of mouth. Their specialty: fantastic sandwiches of all size, shape and flavor! There are a few places in Manila that have a varied selection of sandwiches. And truth be told, they really sell more of what is familiar. In this joint, however, creativity and quality of ingredients is packed together in…
From the moment you step in, you know you are in some place that is truly special. And it is a place that creates a state of mind that wishes you do not have to leave. These statements alone is enough to describe what it’s like to be inside Misibis Bay. Misibis Bay is tucked in the Cagraray Island of Albay in the Philippine’s Bicol region. It has only been…
Hearing the name Good Burgers is reminiscent of the Kenan and Kel fastfood sketch in Nickelodeon’s “All That” where Kel always gets everything in the fastfood joint totally wrong. This Manila knockoff, however, gets everything right. The unique value they bring is they use either chicken patty, or – if you are feeling like eating healthier – , vegetarian patties. This is a guiltless offer to the non-meat but comfort…

We have shown our fascination for mojitos. Case in point: 1. If a restaurant has mojitos in their drinks list, we give it a try 2. We have a tutorial on how to make a mojito 3. We have a mint plant named Pep, almost ready for summer mojito making There is something deceivingly addicting about this Cuban concoction. It may be the sourness of the lime,…
One morning spent walking Binondo, Manila’s streets and a myriad of flavors experienced. This was our great food trip of the oldest Chinatown in the world!
A must surfer stop for fueling up before or after hitting the waves. Known for their good baby back ribs. Find Midway Grill in between San Fernando and San Juan in La Union!
Hiding inside an undecorated and unassuming box is a fluffy treat that induces jolts of happiness reminiscent of most gastronomic indulgences that make you sigh in contentment. This area of Batangas is known for various cakes and pastries, but our frequent visits to the town of Bauan, Batangas have made us fall in love with a version of pianono. A quick Google search of pianono reveals a definition from a…
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….
When it comes to trying out new places, it doesn’t always have to be a newly-opened restaurant. It just has to be a discovery for you…which is what Trio was for me when I finally got to try it. Trio offers you the dining experience of either a bistro, a pizzeria, or a wine bar. And, being the pizza-lover that I am, you can easily guess what I picked. They…
Manila, specifically Binondo, just has this unique character to it. Here’s a glimpse of some things we saw on two occasions.
Our streets just look much more pleasant without all the billboards cluttering them. If they were only placed at more decent intervals rather than clumped up where the traffic is greater, Metro Manila would look a lot cleaner. The storm’s not over yet so I hope everyone stays safe. 🙂
I have always viewed the world as this big, vast place that I will never ever get the chance to see. If you have read some previous entries, you would have seen that I dream of one day going to Paris. But like any dream, it is fueled by passion. I have a natural love for travel…and everything that goes with it. What is travel? Well technically, it’s just about…
Everywhere is fascinating when you take in the sights and sounds. Here are some snapshots of life in Bohol.
Here’s yet another chicken entry from Bohol. 😀 Sunburst has invaded Bohol!!! I first tried this in Cebu, where it first started. Wow, they have huge chicken! And who cares about the grease every now and then if the chicken is sooo good (with emphasis on every now and then)? Sunburst offers you an ambience that’s like Pancake House’s but with the kind of food that reminds you of Max’s….
Cute, cute, cute. Nothing like a bunch of kids with very distinct personalities to change your heart. This line was one of the most memorable. This, and “It’s so fluffy I could die!” The story is very simple. You know what the plot is all about practically from the beginning. Gru, our “superbad” villain, lets you in on his grand plan at the start, making you empathize with him every…
Of all the hole in the walls I’ve tried, this is surely part of the top 5. Who would think something so unpretentious could be home to really tasty fried chicken? I found out that people, both locals of Bohol and tourists alike, really go all the way out to the town of Carmen to eat here. Nowhere else in Bohol will you taste Tanie’s fried chicken. It’s so good…
