imsum is one of the greatest things in this world. Seriously. It’s Chinese tapas, or maybe tapas should be called the Spanish dimsum. Small bites you can have anytime of the day. And even if they are steamed, they don’t suck. Dimsum is traditionally a light, tea-time meal. But with my cousins coming from all over, we decided for a ... Read More »

Cyma: Manila’s Version of Greek Food
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. ...

Chelsea Market and Cafe
y sister’s been bugging me to try out Chelsea for the longest time. We’ve passed by their Podium branch dozens of times now and we’ve actually planned to eat there for some time now.

New Bombay: Finally Getting It Right
’m going to say it right off the bat: I love New Bombay! Ever since I first tried it a few years back, I’ve always had a soft spot for New Bombay.

Gotti’s Ristorante: Food Sale Gone Bad

Unfortunately, it was almost like a big scam. So being the cheap bastard that I am, it took quite ... Read More »
Shi Lin: Another One Bites the Dust

Gumbo: Chickening Out A Bit
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 »
Jake’s: Who Loves Steak?
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 »
Johnny Rockets: Unli Bucket
he biggest game changer in the telecommunications industry here in the Philippines has been the unlimited buckets. I mean it single-handledly fucked up plans for any major player at one point. I should know. I used to work for two of them So why is this analogy relevant? Because of Johnny Rockets! Johnny Rockets is this relatively new fast food-type ... Read More »
Mann Hann: Back to the Familiar
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 »
