As mentioned in Part 1 of our Saturday tour of Mercato Centrale, we sampled some of the unique finds that we loved and would be worth a second trip. This second part actually has more. Let this video made by Troy Monsod show you 🙂 Check out our Digital 2.0 article to know more about his photography and videography classes     Ribbed Out Baby Back Ribs has a soft…

Mercato Centrale in the Philippines has become one of the weekend foodie destinations where people who have a passion to satisfy more than just mere hunger come to sample the variety of local treats and creations. Food is appreciated by people of all shape, gender, age and culture, and the stalls in this Fort Bonifacio Global City site will surely provide experiences worth sharing. Our curiosity has drawn us to…

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!

In search of comfort food? Meat-lovers can get their dose from the different 1/3-pound burgers from Big, Better Burgers.

On days when you don’t have a specific craving in terms of cuisine, we aid our decision-making process with means that are readily available to us. We toss a coin. Heads, it’s Filipino and tails, it’s Italian. Heads it was. I had heard about Chef Laudico’s Bistro Filipino but this was my first time to try it.  I find Filipino food fusion enough so I was curious what Fusion Filipino…

NOTE: THIS PLACE HAS ALREADY CLOSED When we learned from Irene and Chef Ricci of Laya that they’ll be down to their last month of operation, we panicked!  While it has been a successful ride for them since they opened around mid- 2009, they need to relocate to Seattle.  We were definitely not going to miss a final visit to this place. I first found out about Laya through a…

Relish, for me, is something I normally associate with pickles and Lady’s choice.  😛 If I were to think of it as a verb, I automatically think: cherish. Relish Restaurant is a new addition to the numerous Makati restaurants, especially those along Valero.  It’s only been open for about two months and is drawing crowds from the different offices within the area. Pumpkin soup’s nice because you can actually taste…

It’s no secret to those who have read my entries that food is one of the things I love.  It’s even better that I have someone who enjoys food just as much and also has a keen interest in all things alcoholic. 😛 To vote, check out Ray’s profile on the myfoodtrip.com site.  He’s a definite foodie but what sets him apart is his love for mixing drinks with food…

I’m not from Ateneo but my brother studied there from pre-school up to college (Super loyalty award!).  So I’ve seen plays and attended a fair, a dance, and a prom at some point.  My sister also studied college there and we usually bring her to school before I get dropped off in UP for class then we pick her up after whoever’s class ends later.  So I’ve spent bleary-eyed mornings…

I have a word I always use: interesting.  Because that’s how life is and that’s why I love it. I consider myself very lucky and very blessed to be where I am right now.  But I also give myself a pat on the back because I feel the year has been more fruitful because I was more open to so many things. Here, I share with you some of the…

NOTE: THIS PLACE HAS ALREADY CLOSED You know a great place when you see it.  That’s how it was like for me when I first got to Laya. (To think I just saw it in a consumer report on the trend of personalizing things for consumers a week before my first visit.) Now it’s one of my personal favorites.  I love the ambience.  I love the fresh air.  And I…

This was a belated birthday dinner celebration.  We reached Serendra hungry and we were looking for a nice dinner place with good meat. You know the food is good when the beginning of the conversation is marked by the first bite.  And no matter how many topics you branch out into, every bite will bring you back to raving about the food. Duo Steakhouse and Wine Bar offers you a…
