I always take the trip to the weekend Salcedo Market whenever I wake up early enough to get my goodies. Over the course of several Saturdays, I’ve amassed a couple of frequently-visited stalls that offer stuff I think I can’t buy retail elsewhere.
Here are some pics from a recent…

We revisited the restaurant formerly known as In-Yo Fusion Cuisine recently — now aptly renamed after the chef behind the establishment: Ninyo Fusion Cuisine.
This place has been a company favorite of ours, pleasing even the most discriminating and well-initiated palates of key executives who have marked it as one…

One of the reasons why I end up agonizing after a long weekend at my parents’ house in Manila is my utter loss of self-control in the face of such yummy food. Here are snaps of some of the irresistible grub my mom feeds me.

Glutinous Rice Meatballs

They come…

A while back, we organized a special send-off party at the palatial dining hall of La Cocina de Tita Moning in Manila.
Setting. Step into the Legarda mansion and be transported back to a time and lifestyle almost forgotten. Dark wood furniture, antique household artifacts, and an opulent 1930’s ambiance grace a…

Sizzlin’ Pepper Steak is one of the latest restaurants to open at the older part of Eastwood City, right at the same building as Teriyaki Boy (which owns and operates this franchise). A while back, we checked the place out to see how it fares against the original pepper steak house,…

Burgoo has been a long-time favorite of mine, but I haven’t had the chance to visit it for more than a year now. Recently, after aimlessly gallivanting at the Mall of Asia, we treated ourselves to a hearty, thousand-calorie dinner here.

Started off with the Supreme Sampler (P395 – regular) appetizer platter,…

One cuisine that I’ve gotten fond of with my foodie adventures is Italian. I pretty much evolved from not knowing much about it to enthusiastically reveling in every slice of carpaccio, mouthful of risotto, and twisty-forkful of al dente pasta. Recently, we were able to have another pleasant family-style Italian…

A couple of weeks back, we scoured the web for a good Singaporean restaurant in town that can satiate my Bah Kut Teh and Hainanese chicken rice cravings. The search led us to Rasa in Cubao’s Araneta Center, right beside the coliseum entrance.
How does it fare? Here’s what I thought.…

I’ve always been a frequent patron of the UCC cafés around town: brunches before church service at the Podium branch, and breakfast at the Connecticut Street branch in Greenhills post shift on Saturday mornings. As such, I was instantly elated to find out that they were bringing their “hotel coffee shop…

Dining out with family is always a happy occasion for me, especially if the food is good. A while back, we feasted at the popular premium-tier branch of Dencio’s, aptly named Kabisera ng Dencio’s, presumably as it is on the farthest end of Bonifacio High Street and that it seems…
