verytime the NBA trade deadline approaches, it’s like the guy’s version of gossip. Who’s going where and for whom and whatnot. I was reading today’s chismis and apparently Dwight Howard has told the Magic management that he’d like to stay in Orlando for the rest of the year… Presumably to bolt to another team next year without gutting his team ...

Fruit Magic SM Mezza Residences
y first encounter with Fruit Magic was at Fitness First gym, ABS-CBN. I thought it was actually part of the Fitness First franchise – after all, it was fruity and magical, just like how many of the gym’s alternative-preference clientele would describe themselves. I hadn’t been to a Fruit Magic in a long time, until we checked out the SM ... Read More »
Tong Yang Jupiter: Closing Time
irst of all, let me just say that Tong Yang in NOT closing shop. Indulge me for a few minutes and the title will make more sense. I’ll just say it out loud now: I love Tong Yang. I love the yakiniku concept and Tong Yang was really one of the first to do this. So there might be the ... Read More »
Banana Leaf: Procrastination at Its Finest
e here at Food Porn Junkies are procrastinators! And I try to mean that in the most cool/care-free way. I’ve reached a personal low, though. I’ve actually tried out Banana Leaf early in the year. By the time I’m posting this, I’ve already gone back a 2nd time, which is why you guys (if there are actually any readers out ... Read More »
Papa John’s Pizza: A Little Change of Heart
’ve heard about Papa John’s Pizza for quite some time now. Even before they set up shop here. They’re the ones that’s been getting air-time with their concession stand in the Miami Heat arena. They’ve had that cheesy tag line “Better ingredients. Better pizza” line for the longest time now. Get it, cheesy jeje? OK, that was bad. Moving on… ... Read More »
Hermanos Taco Shop: A Little Assist from TV
usually get stuck when deciding where to go. ”Anywhere” seems to be the standard reply. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. I found a pretty good way of going about this and it’s turning on the Travel Channel! In my case, it was the Mexico episode of No Reservations and it was as good a time as any ... Read More »
Stop Over Pizza: Gem of the Midnight Mercato
consider myself a pizza lover. By no means am I an expert – no, I leave that to the Italians and the people at Pizza Hut (jeje) – but I know what I like. Lots of cheese, freshly baked dough, quality ingredients – this is what I look for in a pizza. Now I’m relatively easy to please. If the ... Read More »
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 »
Brooklyn Pizza: A Slice of New York
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, ...

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 »
