Little Owl Cafe New Manila Q.C.

[2018-11-06] If it is the first time you’ll go to this restaurant like me, if you are driving from Gilmore/Aurora, it will be easy to miss. The signage is partially blocked by leaves so just slow down when you are near the corner of E. Rodriguez or you see the BPI Family bank on your…

Firefly Roofdeck – City Garden Grand Hotel Poblacion Makati

[2018-10-22] This is my 2nd time to try out the food in Firefly. The first time were ala carte dishes. This time it is the PHP800++ Japanese Korean buffet. For those that have not been to the Firefly Roofdeck, it is a nice place to relax/chill during good weather most specially at night. There were…

Chubs Chasers Bago Bantay Q.C.

[2018-10-22] I arrived early and had some hot clam chowder soup at another place nearby while waiting so I am primed for a good meal. When I was informed we were going to this restaurant I viewed the information in Zomato.com (plus other sites too, but I normally check Zomato first) to find out what…

S&R New York Style Pizza Bago Bantay Q.C.

[2018-10-22] I arrived early for a foodie meetup at SM City North EDSA The Block and saw a S & R nearby. I like cream chowder and when I posted the question on where to find good cream chowder, some recommended S & R’s. Having some time on my hands I decide to try it….

October 2018 Tokyo Day 1 – Starbucks Venus Fort

[2018-10-03] My daughter wanted to ride the 115-metre tall Ferris wheel at Palette Town in Odaiba. Unfortunately, it was under maintenance and even the customer service personnel did not know when it will be operational again. We decided to just explore the nearby  Venus Fort mall. While walking we noticed this sign and decided to try…

Locavore BGC Taguig

[2018-09-29] Met with a few batchmates to have dinner at Locavore. The preference of our batchmate from the US is Filipino food and Locavore is supposedly one of the better ones. The salted egg gabi chips was good. The boneless chicken was tender with crispy skin. The adobong baka sa gata was tender. The gising-gising…

Casa Italia Café BGC

[2018-09-29] After dinner, my batchmates & I went to Casa Italia Café for coffee & after dinner chat. The restaurant has a loft where the shared lavatory is also located. I had a grande latte. Their latte falls within the range that I like for coffee. Strong coffee aroma and taste but not too bitter…

La Loca Mexican Cantina C-Junction Maybunga Pasig

[2018-09-09] La Loca Mexican Cantina is one of the options in the C-Junction foodpark. It offers Mexican cuisine (duh!, hehe) The 3 dishes I was able to try were the Quesadilla (beef), Soft Taco (chicken) & Nachos. Except for the nachos (due to the sauces), the flavors were mild. All 3 were not salty. The…

Mazeh C-Junction Maybunga Pasig

[2018-09-09] Mazeh is one of the options in the C-Junction foodpark. It offers Persian cuisine that was adjusted to suit local preferences. Less spicy, less spices like cumin, etc. which some locals may not like if the usual strength/quantity is used.   I personally wouldn’t mind stronger spice levels but the current levels provide enough…

Dadding’s Kitchenette C-Junction Maybunga Pasig

[2018-09-09] Dadding’s Kitchenette is one of the options in the C-Junction foodpark. It offers affordable grilled food.     I was able to try 2 of their items, grilled liempo php120 & bacon barbeque php40 per piece. The liempo was good and tasty and will go well with rice (or as pulutan) BUT… …the bacon…
