t was Lester who first told me about it. ”Hey,” he started, “there’s a new cheesesteak place in Makati.” I’m usually wary of Lester’s recommendations, partly because we don’t exactly have the same tastes in food, mostly because he eats weird things like snake’s hearts. I brushed it off. A couple of weeks ago, I overheard somebody raving about this ... Read More »
love the Salcedo Market. I enjoy it a lot more than Mercato Centrale / Midnight Mercato. A LOT more. I used to come a lot more often back when I still had a slot to park in Makati. OK, that came out wrong. Let me re-phrase: I used to frequent the Salcedo Market back when I owned a parking slot ... Read More »
love steak. There is nothing I like better than a medium-rare, moist, pink, juicy slab of beef – marinated, salted, and peppered to perfection. There’s something so carnal about carne, so inherently alive with every rib, sirloin, T-bone, porterhouse and tenderloin perfectly grilled over hot coals or pan-seared and fried in a thick cast-iron skillet. The problem is that a ... Read More »
have to come clean here. I’m biased. I’ve said it before, but I think I need to qualify this statement: I love the traditional taste of certain cuisines. I mean, the best way to eat anything for me is to eat it the way locals do. Like, if I’m in Rome, you won’t see me putting ketchup on my spaghetti. ... Read More »
irst of all, I just love that line “Christ, you know it ain’t easy!” It probably doesn’t have anything that’s remotely related to food. So why did I put that line? It’s from an old Beatles song called “The Ballad of John and Yoko.” The concept should be a dead give-away, even to non-Beatles fans, that a restaurant named “John ... Read More »

e’re foodpornjunkies.com. The restaurant’s name is Orale. It’s a match made in heaven. First, a little background: Orale is the first in a chain of restaurants being planned for 2012. Joe Orale was dating this girl named Peaches, and they were very happy. At least, until Peaches realized she was actually a lesbian. Still, Joe Orale loved his ex so ... Read More »
’m going to say it right off the bat: I love New Bombay! Ever since I first tried it a few years back, I’ve always had a soft spot for New Bombay. I have no idea how authentic or how close the food is with real Indian cuisine but I’ve just realized that I’ve been eating Indian food the wrong ... Read More »
here are probably two things you need to know about me. First, I’m a lazy driver. I wish I had a driver. I’d get a few more winks and kill less cells with road rage for Manila’s finest traffic. I probably won’t go out unless I really really need to. Or unless I’m really really bored. Really. Second thing, I ... Read More »
love burgers. It’s beef, bread, and cheese – what’s not to love? Nothing spells home and comfort better than a good old-fashioned burger. In fact, I always order a burger when given the choice. I’m in Canada, I order a burger. I’m in Hong Kong, I order a burger. Wherever in the world I’m at, I have had a burger. ... Read More »
