et’s get this out of the way: there’s no really good Greek food here in Manila. But what we have is, at the very least, some decent ones. Although it’s not really been a popular cuisine, it’s been gaining some traction lately. It’s been the Cafe Med and Cyma that’s been our incumbent Greek contenders, but recently a new challenger’s ... Read More »
piral has arguably the best buffet spread in Manila. Usually, it’s a shit load of dishes with maybe the prime rib really standing out. It gets overwhelming that it becomes a parade of mediocre dishes that gets covered up. Sure, there’s the usual prime rib station, the pasta section, the Indian, Chinese and all that shebang — but what makes ... Read More »
fter that fish head curry disaster at AMK with fish head curry, I was expecting a lot from this trip. Then my sister comes home from Kuala Lumpur about 2 weeks before our scheduled trip and tells me that she had the best fish head curry ever. How the hell do I look myself in the mirror if I couldn’t ... Read More »
‘ve never been to Rub without having to wait in line for about 20 minutes. Sure, the place isn’t as big, but so are other places with more empty seats than the waiting chairs outside Rub. So why do I think this place is so popular? IMHO, it’s one of the best- (if not the best) valued rib place in ... Read More »
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 ...

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 »
‘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 »
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 »
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 »
‘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 »
