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 »
absolutely love pizza! It’s not exactly a secret. In fact, if you don’t love pizza, I don’t know how we can become friends. For New York style pizzas, Brooklyn Pizza (IMHO) has to shoot up to the top of my list. Why does this place stand out? First of all, they serve you with complimentary bread. It’s got good size, ...

he first thing I heard about Ukokkei is that the chef was a crazy Japanese dude who threw people out for sharing food, taking too long to order, and looking at him funny. I have heard horror stories of the chef yelling at customers, couples on dates, to leave his restaurant because they were letting the other taste their ramen. ... 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 »
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 »
love delis! They tend to have really quality steaks, an array of selection of quality ingredients, and best of all — cured meat! I’ve been hooked with cured meat ever since I got a taste. Now I’ve heard of Terry’s Selection a while back from one of our business partners in my old job. I visited The Podium branch, but ... Read More »
here’s this secret restaurant near Rockwell and I’ve been hearing it for quite some time now. No name, no signage, just “Secret Resto.” Sounds interesting and even serves Hunan cuisine. The unlimited rice (for about 25 bucks), which I found out about later, is just a bonus. Officially, the place has a name: You Jie Xiao Chao, which translates to ... 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 »
love my fresh pasta! It’s one of the things I loved about Bistro Ravioli and it’s one of the things that excited me about coming to Va Bene. A reunion with my college buddies was a great excuse to brave the Makati traffic. First of all, they have a shitty location. It’s located inside a gas station that charges for ... Read More »
