NEW RESTO ALERT: Sawsaw by Sau

Still new since it just opened a few months back, Sawsaw by Sau is an interesting one.

First, it is always full whenever we pass by so yeah, we got lucky and was able to get a table in the al fresco area. We only ordered desserts though since we already had dinner at the other end of Poblacion.

We had ice-cream and bibingka. For the ice cream, you need to ask the servers about the available flavors. So we got- Champorado with Tuyo Ice Cream, Maiz Ice Cream, and Bibingka Souffle.

Champorado with Tuyo Ice Cream is a win! I love the pure chocolate-y (cocoa) taste and the bits of tuyo. Truth be told, I am not fond of tuyo so I was a bit skeptical with this flavor. But hubby likes champorado and he eats tuyo (but not at home!) so he got this ice cream flavor which we both find delightfully delicious.

Maiz Ice Cream. Another winner here. I love how refreshing the taste was and that it's creamy in a way that is not cloying. This is the perfect dessert after a hearty meal.

Bibingka Souffle. An interesting presentation of bibingka and levels-up the dining experience. Not to sweet and enjoyable in every bite.

Overall, we enjoyed our postres at Sawsaw by Chef Sau. Looking forward to having an actual meal here soon. PS. It is best to call the restaurant and have a table reserved.

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass!

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
