while back, I was invited to a despedida/birthday dinner of one of my old colleagues. I would’ve highlighted and underlined the word “old” but I still feel grateful for this meal. I can’t believe that having worked 3 years in the area, I’ve never stepped foot inside Il Ponticello before. Actually, I can believe it. That place is expensive! At ... 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 »
pparently, there’s been a “secret resto” in the San Juan area for the longest time and I was skeptical. I love secret resto’s and I should’ve known about it, right? After all, I’ve been living in the area for only 20 years now. Still, the only thing that matters now is that I’ve tried the place. So the place is ... Read More »
guess I’ve eluded Earle’s for the longest time now. I worked for the #2 Player in Makati for quite some time and never had the chance to walk 5 minutes, place an order for a sandwich, walk back another 5 minutes to my desk. My bad. And from the time that I got out, I never really wanted to go ... Read More »
or the sake of transparency, I just have to say that this is not my first time in Gumbo. I just never really bothered to take good photos, but mostly, I just never bothered to write about it. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea what New Orleans cuisine actually is. All I know is ... Read More »
love steak! Like how Kel loves orange soda. And I’m glad that I live near a place that serves quality steaks for a fairly reasonable price. Thing is, I’ve been eating at Everything at Steak for god knows how long now that it’s a little embarrassing that the waitresses probably know me too well by now. So I was really ... Read More »
ne of my default restaurants has been Mann Hann along J. Abad Santos. But I haven’t been there for quite some time now. And sometimes, it’s just wanting to eat something familiar as opposed to trying out something new. So let me share what my typical orders are in Mann Hann. First is a Sate Chami. Chami is Chinese for ... Read More »
here’s this new joint that’s mushrooming throughout the Metro. I only needed to read the word “Burger” and I knew I had to try Army Navy right away because who doesn’t love burgers, right? It took me a couple of months, but here’s my take on Army Navy. First of all, you gotta have the burger! Each patty is a ... Read More »
hate shopping! Really. You’re walking around the mall, there’s nothing to look at, things are pretty expensive nowadays, and then your back gives out on you. It really makes walking around the mall a drag. Suddenly, you pass by the shops and there’s this fragrant smell coming out one of the spaces. Makes you go, “Damn, I want that!” So ... Read More »
great piece of carb can really be as sexy as a great slab of meat. Fresh, pure, firm. Well, you get the picture. But the point is, a really high quality carb, whether it’s a noodle, spaghetti, rice, or a risotto, can really make or break a dish. It’s a dish in itself regardless of the sauce or topping. So ...
