NEW RESTO ALERT: Dekada

This new restaurant in Fairview Terraces pays homage to Filipino heroes and momentous events from the Spanish era to the 50's till the 90's.

And it also happen to be that we dined at Dekada last August 21 so its a historical day too. Care to guess why August 21st is a National Holiday in the Philippines ;)



Mad For Pizza

Creating your own pizza is definitely thrilling and really maddening (in a nice way, of course).  Read my experience here.

Aside from creating your own pizza at Mad For Pizza, this restaurant also serves numerous dishes that will tastes equally great as their pizzas.


NEW RESTO ALERT: Mad For Pizza

The concept at Mad For Pizza is quite interesting --- your creativity will be challenge while you try to create what's the best pizza for you (dough, sauce, toppings).

Barely 3 months old, this pizza place is getting a lot of mileage already from foodies of all ages.



RECIPE: Lola Virginia's Chicken Relleno by Romulo's Cafe

Chicken Relleno is one of the food I grew up with especially when we have family gatherings or simply when my mother or aunt wanted to feed the family a special dinner. Alas, its also one of the dishes that I haven't tried cooking and of course, my mother didn't leave her recipe behind.

But thanks to Romulo's Cafe and The Maya Kitchen for sharing this Chicken Relleno recipe.



NEW RESTO ALERT: Tim Ho Wan

So it took me two months before I was able to dine at Tim Ho Wan in SM Megamall after it opened last May 2014. Also, I wasn't able to try this dimsum restaurant when I went to Hong Kong last year. Tim Ho Wan became a sought-after dimsum restaurant especially after it was given a Michelin Star, thus becoming one of the cheapest restaurant's with a Michelin Star.



Whamilicious Burgers At Wham

Wham! Burgers has been one of those burger joints established in the early Y2K that surpassed a decade. So that means only one thing- the burgers are good! We used to hangout at the branch in Shangri-La Plaza years ago especially when daughter attended pre-school there (super long time ago).



Saturday Buffet At 100 Revolving Restaurant

The Best Galbi Tang At Woo Galbi

Perfect for the rainy weather that we are experiencing right now. Also, a hot and very filling soup warms not only the tummy but the heart. :)


FOOD REVIEW: Clara Ole' Sauces

These Clara Ole' Sauces arrived at my doorstep recently and was very excited to whip some pasta except that we don't have any in the pantry- boo hoo hoo! So it took me a couple of days more before I was able to use it.




Happy 116th Philippine Independence Day

What can be a more fitting celebration for Philippine Independence Day than dining at our very own Filipino Restaurants and savoring our history through sumptuous Filipino dishes.

Here's my list of restaurant suggestions:


Aristocrat for its famous chicken barbeque.

Casa Roces for its beef tapa or tapsilog.

Eat Fresh Hong Kong Famous Street Food

One of our favorite dining and take-out place is Eat Fresh near Wilson St., San Juan. This restaurant is always full especially during peak hours so its either you go there early to secure a table, wait in line, or order take outs. And the best part- you can eat a very filling meal here without breaking your wallet. 


Katsu Iberico at Tonkatsu by Terazawa

Filipinos are known to enjoy and incorporate pork in almost every dish so its no wonder that there's been a Tonkatsu craze in the country.

Tonkatsu by Terazawa is the brainchild of Japanese chef and restauranteur Akinori Terazawa who vowed to make Tonkatsu like no other when he first opened his first restaurant in Japan. "Tonkatsu is one of the favorite feasts families in Japan indulge and because of that, I took the challenged of making the best Tonkatsu in town."- Chef Terazawa said.

Teen Chefs at The Maya Kitchen Day 2

The Maya Kitchen is offering culinary lessons for kids and teens this summer aside from its regular lessons. Please visit The Maya Kitchen to know more about the other schedules and offerings. 

The second day of the Teens Culinary Workshop was a bit more relaxed compared with Day 1 since the teens have gotten to know more each other and has more rapport than the previous day when some still tend to be shy. They're also much more confident of their cooking skills and in handling kitchen utensils this time.
