After sorting through the rips of waves in Calicoan Surf Camp and charmed by the simple life of its host town, Guiuan, it’s back to Tacloban to hitch on the plane back to busy Manila. With only a few hours to spare, little token treats, or pasalubongs, was mandatory for Filipino culture. A fellow food tripper who had roots in Leyte suggested to get two famous rice made desserts to…

Just like Twitter has #followfriday, here’s a version to celebrate the simple joy that is blogging. Nuffnang’s idea to have a Blog Day just made sense. Who better to give you accolade than your fellow bloggers?

  As mentioned in the Calicoan Surf Camp post, there are other things to be done around the area if you are not the intrepid surfer. With just minutes of driving, you can head to the town that hosts the resort: Guiuan of Eastern Samar. Coming from Leyte, from the moment you pass the San Juanico bridge, the Samar island’s life is quite the stark contrast as compared to the…

With the Philippines being an archipelago nation, it is gifted with beautiful beaches from all edges of its islands. Some are for relaxing, some are for picturesque nature trips, and others are for the thrill of surfing (Check this tag for the ever growing surf spots visited). Such is the case the town of Guiuan located in Calocoan Island in East Samar. The island is blessed to be in the…

The next time you find yourself in either McDonald’s or Jollibee in the Philippines, observe the orders of the ones ahead of you in the line. There’s a high chance that their order will not be what McDonald’s or Jollibee has been known for when they started (in this case, burgers). Their most probable order will be a piece of fried chicken with rice (in some instances, with extra rice!…

After getting mesmerized by Manang’s Chicken in Mercato Centrale, drawn by curiosity to try Mr. Kiochon in Midnight Mercato, and finally succumbing to the rage of rabid fans to sample Bon Chon, maybe it was time to find out how (or at least try) to make a sample of Korean Fried Chicken (Ok, so Manang’s Chicken does not really brand itself as such, but with the crispy double fry technique…

Take a minute to observe this delectable treat that is quite popular to a few foodies in Metro Manila. Observe its imperfect surface. It gives away that this is a home made cake filled with labor of love. Look at its creamy texture. Marvel at the large strawberries that top it off. It’s the strawberry shortcake of Mrs. Baby Yulo. When you slice it, the buttery smooth texture and fluffy consistency…

Kitchen in Ayala Malls’ Greenbelt 3 is where food takes the centerstage. It’s a fool-proof place for any time of the day. And dishes are all good enough to share!

Photographs are enigmatic. It’s a universal visual appeal as it elicits ranges of emotions, whether the photo may be simple or dramatic. It’s been ever present from the time of cavemen until its evolution in today’s advanced society. It is no secret that the advancements in technology have given most people access to digital cameras to document and immortalize the world’s stories through the eyes of different people, whether it…

You say kabob, I say kebab.  (To-mah-to, to-may-to.)  Better yet, we collectively call anything skewered as barbecue.  More commonly spelled as BBQ. Thanks to our friends at Myfoodtrip, we were able to try out Kebab Factory in the Burgos Circle of Fort Bonifacio and add to our list of Indian-Persian restaurants.  It was one of those drizzly nights when we were out for a run.  We made sure to work…

When the chilly breeze of Baguio begins to nip you as you stroll along the city or the adjacent tourist attractions like strawberry picking in La Trinidad, Benguet, options to warm yourself up abound in the Camp John Hay area. You can get a cup of hot coffee or chocolate, some swigs of wine or liquor (if that’s your thing), or a nice sizzling skillet of meat drowned in thick…

There is no shortage of Japanese restaurants in the Philippines, all with varied cooking styles and price ranges. Any place will either have a fast food off the counter style, or novel sushi bars where the food is carried around through long conveyor belts. Others, still have original takes on both the sights, sounds and taste of Japan. And there are those that give the feeling of exclusivity, like Senju…

One of Marikina’s hidden gems (or maybe not-so-hidden anymore) that serves really good Thai food – all at very affordable prices! Definitely worth the food trip to discover what this quaint restaurant has to offer. Prepare your taste buds for a lot of spice.

A restaurant named after herbal tea along Valero, Teazann offers you a lot more than just tea.

There apparently is a taste for the Middle Eastern Cuisine in the Philippines, and it all comes in variations that suit the Filipino taste buds. And while some of the entrees take some experience and special equipment to prepare, the classic shish kebab (or kabob. Spelling differs for every person) is one of the easiest and most fun to cook. Also, the variety of colors that naturally occurs in the presentation…

A little deli place for quick lunches and that needed break from work. The Market offers you sandwiches plus an array of other items a foodie might need. What’s nice is that it’s only a short distance away from a lot of offices in the Salcedo Village area.

AS OF DECEMBER OF 2013, THIS PLACE HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY BURGERS AND BREWSKIES The Burgos Circle has slowly become a popular place for dining and togetherness. It isn’t a surprise, then, that the establishments can get packed, and your plans for a comfortable and hearty meal can even become a cause for stress. But a few shops remain that still give the quiet meal experience deserving of your…

The melting pot that is San Francisco captured in dishes with a Pinoy twist by Chef Bruce Lim.

  Haute cuisine is rare to find in the Philippines, given their intimidating dining settings and steep price tag one has to pay, which normally is inversely proportional to the serving sizes. But with the advent of a more competitive foodie scene and the continuous searching for new and exciting flavors, small places pop out to provide such kind of dining experience. This is the degustation objective of The Goose…
