Shantung West Triangle QC

[2018-12-26] It started out as a cloudy day and it started raining before I arrived on site. Fortunately it was very accessible to public transport. Just 2 PUV + MRT rides from Pasay so not difficult to go from where I was. We had iced tea while waiting for the rest to arrive. The food…

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Ortigas Mandaluyong

[2018-12-26] A foodie friend made his place available for an impromptu ‘post-xmas’ party. It was still early so we accompanied another foodie friend who is meeting clients at Megamall. The foodie meeting a client decided to treat us to a drink of our choice. I ordered vanilla latte but also got to taste what my…

Texas Roadhouse Mall of Asia Complex (MOA) Pasay

[2018-12-25] I used to have a Bistro card. I renewed at least twice I think so I had one for about 3 years. We have eaten in all Bistro group restaurants in MOA during that period but there have been new restaurants added to Bistro Group’s stable of brands since that time. This restaurant is…

Mai Wei Fang Mall of Asia Complex (MOA) Pasay

[2018-12-20] I was supposed to go to the opening this morning but wasn’t able to go so I went there in the afternoon to try out the “Sheng Jian Bao”. It is like Xiao long bao but it has a crispy bottom since it is fried. I suggest to eat it as soon as it…

Chef Jessie’s Place Makati

[2018-12-08] The date is a special one for Catholics specially Marian devotees. This is probably the reason why the blessing pushed through even if the building is not yet 100% finished. Once finished, the building will house the once distributed ‘working areas’ in one roof. The building will also house a restaurant, function rooms and…

Bench Café Greenbelt 3 Makati

[2018-12-14] The branch is still ‘under construction’ specially the façade and parts of the dining area (from what I can see). We arrived late coming from another meetup at the other end of the MRT. It took around 3 hours travel time. It was also raining so I totally missed my usual photo routine and…

Chiow Express Boni Avenue Mandaluyong

[2018-12-15] A foodie I met for the first time in a recent meetup invited me to this one. The place is in front of the Mandaluyong City Medical Center. We were able to sample a few of their items My favorite, hototay. I used to always order hototay at a restaurant better known for chicken…

Starbucks Reserve (North Tower) Bago Bantay QC

[2018-12-14] After a very satisfying meal, the ‘naughty’ birthday celebrant-to-be treated some of us to one of my favorite after meal activity, coffee. This branch is quite nice though I still like the first Starbucks Reserve branch I have been to better. I ordered my usual hot latte and thankfully it was the way I…

Teppanya Bago Bantay QC

[2018-12-14] I was waiting at a burger place for the mall to open and after opening I found out the North Tower is another building (the former SuperSale Club site). Fortunately, after crossing ‘The Block’, Teppanya is quite near the entrance. The only other branch of Teppanya before this one is located at Evia which…

McDonald’s Bago Bantay QC

[2018-12-05] & [2018-12-14] This branch opens earlier than the mall opening hours. I had meetups scheduled at SM North EDSA on the 5th & 14th at 11am with is the time the mall opens but I normally arrive almost an hour before due to traffic avoidance. On the 5th, rather than wait outside the mall…
