very year, my high school buddies and I meet up at least once a year. It’s usually a Christmas / year-ender get-together and we almost always opt for some sort of a buffet meal. I wanted something different this year and Isabelo Garden was a place that I’ve been hearing constantly. My cousin was telling me it was the best ... Read More »
ou always want to start off any trip well. Always. And considering the stress we had encountered with planning our trip to Greece and a curveball to our plans, lunch at Taverna Rozalia was a good start to what became a great trip. And expectations were a bit high. Rozalia is listed by TripAdvisor as #45 out of 694 eateries ... Read More »
yma is not the only restaurant that serves Greek food in the Philippines. Greek cuisine is mediterranean in nature. You will see the same things like kebab, shawarma (or gyro’s in their case), salads, etc. I’ve been here a few times, but I was set to go to Greece and I wanted to compare Cyma’s authenticity to real Greek cuisine. ...

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 »
e’ve been through breakfast before at Flapjacks. They left me unusually full at an unusually early time of the day because I’m not really used to having a heavy breakfast. But I couldn’t resist when I heard about the best pancakes in Manila is served at Malcolm’s. I know what you’re thinking. Malcolm’s? That place with a 400-peso burger and ... Read More »
’m like Michaelangelo. You know the one with the orange face mask who fights with nunchakus? THAT Michaelangelo. Because I love pizza! I’ve heard about Gino’s for quite some time now and what really convinced me about this place were the words “brick” and “oven.” PLUS, they’re featured and active on Serious Eats’ Slice! I didn’t want to go back ... Read More »
bout 2 or 3 years ago when I first visited Charlie’s, I loved the place! Good food. Good-sized servings. Well-hidden. What’s not to love? Well, the burger. Wait… Don’t these guys serve one of the meanest burgers in town? Well, yes and no. Let me explain. There are plenty of things to love in Charlie’s. You can go for the ... Read More »
love Thai cuisine. Flavors are big, bold, and spicy. And that’s the thing I really love about Asian cuisine and it’s the same reason why Thai food is near the top of my list. For the 2 loyal readers out there, you’ve probably realized that I’m more the cheap, hole-in-the-wall, semi-dirty/dangerous foodie than the Michelin Star-seeker. So when I first ... Read More »
here’s always a great sense of fulfillment in finding these hidden places in the Metro. But Lemuria’s not exactly hidden anymore. It’s been gaining popularity for quite some time now and I have to confess, I’ve been wanting to come to this French-Mediterranean place but never really got around to it. My sister bought us coupons from Deal Grocer, which ... Read More »
love my Buffalo wings. Which idiot doesn’t? They’re fried, they’re fatty, they’re skinny, and they’re spicy! So why do I have Sunrise Buckets as my go-to wing place? To start with, proximity. Second, there’s a pretty good vibe to the place. Third, they have solid wings with pretty interesting flavors. If you need another reason, then you probably need to ... Read More »
