Trip to Little Tokyo, Makati!

The Arc and Bridge Little Tokyo is one of my favorite places. Stepping inside this place makes you feel like you're actually in Japan (or, maybe not, because I've never been to Japan); aside from the general setting, because of the reason that most of the customers are from the country of Japan, a person somehow feels he's teleported to the country. Anyway, the restaurants...

Deep-fried Snickers from Zark's Burgers

Deep-fried Snickers - P125 After eating dinner today, I suddenly had an intense craving for something cold and sweet. My initial thought was some Wicked Oreos from Gravy Fix or Flaming Wings, but after going back and forth, we found out that both places had closed for the day.

Pizza Bianca from Shakey's

Pizza Bianca, Regular - P199 My roomie came back home last night, and she was in the mood for some pizza. Yeeey! :) So she ordered a Pizza Bianca and Mojos from Shakey's Pizza. After about half an hour, or maybe it was half an hour (I didn't take the time), the delivery man finally knocked on our door. But then... when we opened the pizza box, we found the slices all over...

Recipe: Mango Float/Refrigerator Cake

Mango Float/Refrigerator Cake This dessert is very popular among Filipinos! I swear that almost every Filipino food blog out there has at their own version of this recipe. Despite that, I still insist on posting my own version, since this is just an absolute favorite of mine, and those who live under a rock and aren't aware about it should be introduced to it. It's a really...

Gravy Fix!

Southern Fried Chicken  Gravy Fix is a name I've heard here and there in the past, but only recently did I find out it was the sister company of Flaming Wings. Here in Taft, unlike in Katipunan, the two restaurants aren't side by side, and Gravy Fix is practically hidden from view (it can be found inside Burgundy, in front of La Salle). However, one step inside and...

Dark Banoffee Pie from Seattle's Best

Dark Banoffee Pie - P125 Seattle's Best is one of those coffee shops I see everywhere but I never actually set foot in. Truth be told, I'm not really a regular customer of coffee shops. The only reason I go to Starbucks is for their banoffee pies. Anyway, earlier today, I was walking around with my friend and saw Seattle's Best, and wondered if they had anything that 'rivaled'...

Jollibee's Hash Brown Burger

P64 - a la carte, P80 - meal My friend has been wanting to go to Jollibee for some time now just to try this out. After enduring the long lines of the place, he finally got what he wanted -- their hash brown burger. It's a burger patty with cheese in between too hash browns, and you can smear ketchup around on it. It looks really plain, but is proving to be a hit to most...

You can use any kind of meat as well, not just ground beef. As you can see from the image, I decided to put some rosemary in the rice. You can make do without the rosemary, because I included...

Recipe: Creamy Bacon Pasta

Creamy Bacon Pasta In most Filipino households, this dish is more commonly known as Carbonara. However, I know the traditional Carbonara recipe is based on eggs, and... I didn't use any eggs for this dish. Anyhow, because of that, I thought it would be more fair to call it Creamy Bacon Pasta instead (really simple name)! It's an easy dish, and it took me around half an hour...

Cold Pizza at Sebastian's Ice Cream Studio

Their ice cream is on par with with the international Ben and Jerry's. They used to have a stall in Glorietta and Alabang Town Center, which are the...

A bit troublesome, but it was f...

The second time, we chose to wait... but after thirty minutes, we were already...

Tokyo Cafe: A Fusion of Western and Japanese

Teriyaki Chicken Salad - P178 Tokyo Cafe isn't a traditional Japanese restaurant, in the sense that their menu showcases a fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine. Their menu offers a wide array of choices, from salads to parfaits. At first glance, it seems their menu is one that a Western restaurant would give you -- Shrimp Bisque, Caesar Salad, Pasta, etc. However, looking...
