Porking Zone Mandaluyong

[2022-Mar-02] Porking Zone is a neighborhood restaurant in Mandaluyong. Kopi Zone.PH is inside. I had the Vanilla Latte. The coffee was a bit weak for me but was told they offer very reasonably priced double to triple shots but unfortunately it was not on the menu. So if you prefer strong coffee flavors, ask for…

Coffee That’s Really Good For You

Coffee That’s Really Good For You: Glorious, Isn’t It? For decades, coffee had received a bad reputation. Besides allegedly triggering high blood pressure, insomnia, and hyperacidity, the Filipino habit of adding lots of sugar and cream to one’s cup has been said to aggravate diabetes. While there’s no denying the Pinoy coffee fan his morning…

Motorino Pizza Alabang, Muntinlupa

[2019-Oct-16] I arrived at Alabang too early so I decided to go to Decathlon first.  I was intending to buy the no-lace running shoes on sale I saw on their website. I walked to the highway to get a ride to Alabang Town Center – ATC. The commuting route, unfortunately for those that do not…

Starbucks Reserve Rockwell, Makati

[2019-10-13] After a very satisfying early lunch at Chef Jessie Rockwell, we went here for some tea. @starbucksph is the 2nd stop of a mini food crawl with my daughter. My drink was matcha. For me this is regular good matcha and was better than what my daughter @thegastronomersdiary had, Chai Latte. My daughter @thegastronomersdiary…

Nitro 7 Coffee & Tea Bar Ortigas (Galleria), QC

[2019-Oct-15] This day was supposed to be totally just a day for chores. Specifically go to several places to acquire a car part that the ‘casa’ is permanently out of stock. My car is a 20 year old Honda Civic so brand new original parts are hard to come by. I got a message the…

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Ortigas (Galleria), Quezon City

[2019-Oct-15] Just came from @NITRO7.COFFEE @robgalleriaortigas but still feel like I need more coffee (well, I used to drink a liter at a time) so dropped by @cbtlph @robgalleriaortigas to claim a Caramel Ice Blended Drink courtesy of @alwayshungryph. This branch has glass walls so easy to see who’s inside the shop and also see…

MOKA Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

[2019-10-01] If you’ll be trying out Moka for the first time and you like coffee, try their Salted Coffee !!! Also the best way to enjoy this coffee variant is to drink it immediately without mixing it up. You can also enjoy taking photos while having it 🙂 By the way, if you prefer unlimited…

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Double Dragon Pasay

[2019-Oct-01] After Cafe Moka BGC and  Honolulu Cafe Robinsons Place Manila, I decided to use the CBTL eGift Electronic Voucher that a fellow foodie (AlwaysHungryPH) generously provided. I have a tendency to forget so better to use it than lose it 🙂 It was for a specific drink, “Sunrise Ice Blended”. The drink had a…

Cafe Tribu Victoria de Morato, Tomas Morato, QC

[2019-Jul-15] I started my day with a food meet up at Taft (Cafe Noriter) in front of DLSU. Next, I then went to BPI M.H. Del Pilar to pickup a replacement card. My transaction was done within minutes (thankfully) around 2pm. My next event/appointment was scheduled at 6pm so there is still a lot of…
