Barbara's Takes You Back In Time
The Walled City of Intramuros is Manila's pride when it comes to culture and history, and it also happens that Intramuros is a favorite destination of balikbayans, tourists, and even locals. Aside from the old structures, Fort Santiago, churches, and museums, it also offers a number of notable restaurants such as Barbara's.
Located just a few steps away from San Agustin church, Barbara's is known for its old Manila glamour. Think Maria Clara and Crisostomo Ibarra.

Dine in Style At Luxent Hotel
It took us about a year before we were able to try the buffet at Luxent Hotel in Quezon City and this is thanks to a friend who was celebrating her birthday. As always, it is such a happy occasion to dine in a new restaurant and with good friends.
Its still a bit early when I arrive (yes, I was the first to arrive) so the place was really quiet and I was able to take photos of the place without getting strange looks from diners. The place looks nice, relaxing and inviting. Even if the lights are muted, it gives off a light and happy vibe. I like the bright painting and the lamps.
My first set. The buffet spread looked so enticing that I didn't wait for my friends to arrive. I had a cup of pumpkin soup, bread, cheese and coldcuts. I also ordered a cup of mint tea.
Second Plate. Salmon sashimi (my default food choice in hotel buffets) and kani salad. Yum! I was just finishing off when my friends arrive. Yey!
My Lovely companions in floral print. We sometimes go crazy when we dine. I mean, we do get crazy about the food but we also get crazy on what theme or clothes we should wear. Tonight's theme was something "floral."
Yummy food choices also. I fell in love with the spicy beef and spicy shrimp dishes. Per head costs about P800. Not bad.
Coldcuts, cheese and bread sticks. The spread may not be comparable to the offerings in 5-star hotels but the ones from Luxent were just as filling and quite good.
That's us. My something floral is a floral shawl! Hahaha. Its really fun to play dress-up with my friends. :)

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hawker's Market
A new kid on the buffet-block. Had it not been Momsie's birthday, we wouldn't have discovered this buffet gem right at the Remington Hotel in Pasay City.
The location is not that visible though since its beside 7-11 at the Remington and the entrance of the restaurant is almost fronting the parking entrance of the Resorts World Manila. But luck was with us today and we all ended up having a nice dinner. Also, Hawker's Market is just a day and a month old, according to one of the waitresses.

Birthday Lunch With Friendships At The Mercado
Had a nice birthday lunch with my friends at The Mercado in Resorts World Manila. Its just too bad that we can't take a decent photo inside the restaurant because the resto happens to be inside the casino. But I did manage to snap some shots using my phone but the resolutions not that great.
My salad plate. Just some veggies with ranch dressing. Then I got a chocolate muffin, which turned out to be really, really good.

A Foodaholic's Vignettes Of The Past Part I
I've been trying to recall how my love affair with food started because there are times when daughter asks me about it.
Hmmmm ... having a senior moment now- help!
But I'll try. One of my best memorable food and restaurant experience was at the restaurant of Good Earth Emporium. Ayan, buking na my age! hahaha. Anyways, Good Earth Emporium was a nice department store along Avenida (near Carriedo) in Manila. Aside from being a department store, it also had a sort of arcade with rides and a carousel (hope I'm not mistaken here or maybe I'm thinking about Quad?). Anyways, there's this restaurant inside Good Earth Emporium (not sure if its called the same, too) that serves Chicken-in-a-basket. This was my favorite and one of my most memorable food experience. The fried chicken pieces was served in a basket, hence the name. I love going to the Good Earth Emporium with my father especially on Saturdays because he usually brings me to his office along Avenida. And while he did his work, I was left to play with pens and papers and there's the promise of lunch or dinner at Good Earth or Quan Yin Chay in Soler Street.

RANT: DADS, Saisaki & Kamayan Mega
We haven't eaten here for a very, very long time so we were super excited when we got invited to a birthday dinner. Alas, we are not happy with our dinner tonight. :(
Except for the tempura and kare-kare (very tender tripe), the rest of the food either tastes bland, salty, bland, salty. Really, everything tastes the same or lack some flavor.
Another saving grace (for me) was the ice-cream. I love the mocha ice-cream and had a generous sprinkle of tiny mallows, chocolate bits and gummy bears. Had to servings of ice-cream.
*** We're not coming back to dine here again.
*** Didn't have the heart to take food photos.

Breakfast At News Cafe, Ramada Manila Central
February 22, 2013
I've been hearing about great food reviews about the breakfast buffet of Ramada Manila in Ongpin from co-parents at my daughter's school but it is only today that I was able to try it. And considering that it's a rainy Friday morning, I pray that the food will be delish. Buffet breakfast costs P400 nett.

Midnight Buffet At Corniche
February 23, 2013
This is our suprise pre-birthday treat to daughter. So earlier today, I nagged her about taking a nap (which she wasn't able to do because of Battle Cat or was it Cat Battle?) so that she won't feel sleepy when we go to the midnight buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel. Of course, I didn't tell her that we're going to a buffet because she'll be very excited. Yes, she loves to eat and lucky her because she remains skinny. Life's not fair. :(

Buffet Madness At Corniche
Excited much!
I've been avoiding food since our Baguio trip early this month where we did nothing but eat, sleep, eat, sleep.
And this "Late Night Buffet Madness" is a special treat to ----- who loves to read my food blog so I'll keep mum about it for now. I already made the reservation for Saturday. ;)
HEAT Buffet Promo
Arrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!! Another buffet promo and its at the Edsa Shangri-La, too. Oh my, oh my! Goodbye diet, hello Heat! ;)
Honestly, I don't think I have any food photo of Heat nor a blog post. Actually, we've dined here several times already but since the food's that GREAT, taking photos are the farthest thing from my mind. I love the seafood and dessert section. :D

Mercado
Mercado is one of the restaurants inside Resorts World in Pasay City. It is a buffet restaurant with delectable spread. Also, it is very affordable compared to hotel buffets.
The food was excellent. The resto was serving a great spread of Filipino dishes that night that includes kalderetang kambing. Meeeeeeeeeeeeh!
Note: A few years ago, a friend invited me and hubby to have lunch at the newly opened Mercado. Although the choices that time were not that plentiful, we still manage to savor every bite. And yes, I love the ka-ching, ka-ching background music. ;)
Sinfully Circles
I've always love this restaurant (yes, I'm a bit biased when it comes to Circles vs Heat) and maybe because I always have good memories whenever we dine here since daughter was still a wee one. We've already celebrated more than several milestones in this restaurant. I still remember the first time that I dined here, it was sometime in the mid-90's. My friend Benj Garcia invited me for dinner. Alas, I can't remember what I wore but I do remember that we ate really, really huge crabs. Then there's wine. And cherries. But the cherries came from my friend's aunt who just arrived from HK. I miss Benj!
He was my first foodie friend. There was a time when he said he wanted to try RJ's Bulalo near Boni Circle in Mandaluyong. So we scheduled a dinner there and funny lang coz he brought along a bottle of wine to pair with our bulalo. How sosy, di ba? I guess the servers were too awed to collect corkage fee from us. Haha

The Nordic Dining Experience
Vikings. I love the name of this buffet restaurant because it reminds me of Odin, Thor and Loki. I also remember falling in love with the movie- The 13th Warrior.
But this Viking(s) is different. It is actually a buffet restaurant located near the vicinity of Mall of Asia. A Viking's helmet greets the diners upon entering the door.
Lots of food choices- from pasta, seafood, japanese, chinese, continental, there's also a carving station, dessert bar among others. The last photo was two scoops of yogurt ice-cream. Chocolate and avocado. Truly memorable! You'll crave for it once you've tasted it. Wish they have a desserts only buffet :D

Sinfully Circles
Dining at Circles in Shangri-La Makati is always a joy. Just celebrated my birthday here several days ago. :D
