Singaporean Food at Toast Box

For some reason, I was really craving for Laksa. At the time that I really wanted some, I couldn't think of any restaurants that served it (and I'm still looking for more, so do tell me if you know any). After some researching, I found out that the newly opened Toast Box in Alabang Town Center was a Singaporean restaurant and that, yes, served Laksa. I couldn't get there...

A Bunch of Photos from Omakase

As I mentioned in a previous post, Omakase will always be one of my favorite Japanese restaurants. I can never get enough of their makimono/sushi.

Gelato Cakes at Caramia

I love cold desserts. Cara Mia Gelateria, usually accompanied by the restaurant Amici, is a place I've been wanting to try. Their display is laden with delicious looking gelato cakes. Since some people don't like people taking pictures of their displays, I wasn't even sure if we were allowed to! Nobody stopped me though, so now I have the opportunity to show off these pretty...

Speaking of Town Center, they opened a new wing, and there's a ton of fabulous new restaurants to choose from... if you haven't checked it out, you must! Anyway. Ramen X's store layout is nice. They have cute pictures hanging...

Nomi Burgers + Shakes

Nomi Burgers + Shakes is back in Taft! I know I rejoiced when I found out that they reopened a store on Agno/Castro Street, next to De La Salle University. They used to be called 'Nomimono', and I'm sure most patrons still call them that. I'm not even sure if they have officially changed their name, and I just realized the change when I looked at the receipt. To celebrate...

Chilling at Chili's

Lame title, right? Well, it's pretty difficult to think of post titles, 'ya know? ;) Anyway, I was finally able to eat at Chili's Bar and Grill. I have been wanting to eat there ever since I saw pictures of their Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie. Because I loved it so much, I'm using the photo as the preview to this post. Behold...! One of the best deserts I've ever tried....

Anyone craving for Taiwanese cuisine? If you are, then Lugang Cafe is the place for you. Lugang Cafe has brances in Greenhills and in SM Mall of Asia.

Second Trip to Soderno

I really love these night markets. They never cease to satisfy someone like me who craves all kinds of food at such ungodly hours. Then there's my companion, who for some reason, eats even more than me. There I am, wanting something simple like ice cream... and he gets a smoked pork sandwich. But who I am to complain? At least I got to take a bite of something I wouldn't...

Soi: Eat Thai, Love Thai

A few months back, I was intent on going to as much Thai restaurants that I could find. One of the restaurants I tried out was Soi: Eat Thai, Love Thai (found in Mall of Asia). It's a small Thai restaurant. I did some searching on the net and found out there's also a branch in Robinson's Place, Ermita. Other than that, there wasn't much information I could find on the ne...

For the hot pot's broth, you have...

Buffalo's Wings n' Things

Dinner at New Bombay

New Bombay is one of those places I've heard of since who-knows-when but never really bothered to try out. First of all, Indian cuisine is something I'm not really familiar with.

The recipe made exactly a dozen cookies. Chewy...

I Love Manang's Chicken!

Manang's Chicken is a fairly new name. They offer soy fried chicken (think BonChon)... tagged as "Ang bagong fried chicken ng Pinoy", I predict that it's going to go places. I've seen it a few times at Mercato and Soderno, but I honestly didn't give it much attention. My thought was... it can't be more special than BonChon. And, in just a few months, branches have been...
