eople ask me, “Why Penang?” Why not Penang? It’s the food capital of Asia, people. I think that’s all that needs to be said. North of Kuala Lumpur, Penang is about a 6-hour bus ride from KL with an international airport if you prefer to spend a bit more for the 1-2 hour plane ride. Penang’s hot, humid, but god ...

Brasas: Latin American Street Food
ake no mistake about it, Brasa is one of my favorite restaurants right now. Too bad I haven’t been writing about it, but it really is. There’s meat, there’s unique flavor and concept, it’s really good, and it’s priced very reasonably. Brasas serves Latin American food. This covers South America — where the Brazils and Argentinas are. I’ve been there ... Read More »
The Starbucks Secret Menu: The Ferrero Rocher Frappuccino
t’s been a while. I’ll make up an excuse during my next post. So why am I posting now? Well, I’m feeling lazy. I posted a photo yesterday about the Ferrero Rocher Frappuccino (P180.00, which is an additional P20.00 to their normal Fraps) off Starbucks’ secret menu and I’ve had people ask about some of the recipes. So instead of ... Read More »
Eat Fresh: Famous Hong Kong Street Food
‘ll say this right off the bat: you’d have to be an idiot to not like this place. Unless you’re from Hong Kong, you have no right to say, “This is some fucked up shit they serve here.” They pretty much serve more-than-edible Chinese food at incredibly reasonable prices — plus they open until late at night! People usually get ... Read More »
The Old Oven Art Cafe
SDA Prime. Ribeye. 600 bucks. Do you really need any other reason to visit this place? Old Oven Art has been getting some publicity over the past few month and apparently, this little shop along White Plains is said to serve a mean cheese steak as well. And what deranged bastard does not like a fucking cheese steak? Things started ... Read More »
Healthy and Good Burgers
henever anyone brands anything as “healthy AND good,” you typically get 1 out of 2. At most — and it’s rarely the “good” part. So I was pleasantly surprised when I actually found the burgers at Good Burgers to be pretty fucking awesome. The way Good Burgers does it is by using chicken and veggie patties. Suffice to say, there ... Read More »
SuZhou Dimsum: My Favorite Set of Spareribs
‘ve always been intrigued with SuZhou Dimsum. I pass by it often and “Su” is actually my family’s ancestral name. I’m a god damn idiot for not trying this place out, but I’m glad I finally came to my senses. SuZhou is actually a Taiwanese restaurant. Yeah, I know why chinky-eyed bastards all look the same to you guys, but ... Read More »
Ang Mo Kio: Singaporean Cuisine at The Podium
sian cuisine is surprisingly expensive in the Philippines. Ponder that for a second. Go on. Go on. Pho Hoa is pretty expensive and don’t even get me started on Ba Noi’s or any of the Japanese places we have here. In fact, if you eat European cuisine here, it’s much much cheaper than the prices over in France or Italy. ... Read More »
Circles at Makati Shangri-La: Just Another Buffet?
had a whole post on Circles Event Cafe written before this one. It was a brilliant, humorous, even poignant piece of work. One that I accidentally deleted. Because I am a moron. Just sharing. On to the buffet! I have a love-hate relationships with buffets. I love them, but I hate myself afterwards. But hey, I insist on abusing my ... Read More »
Red Buffalo Wings and Pizza
have to admit that I don’t remember a lot about Red Buffalo. It doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t good. It probably has to do more with my terrible memory and the fact that this has taken so long ago. What I do remember is exactly the date of my visit: April 29, 2012. When this happened: So yeah, I dreaded ... Read More »
