Pastarrifico Legaspi Village, Makati

[2019-Sep-26] When I first heard that it is located at “Ayala North Exchange” I thought this mall was located somewhere in North EDSA or Monumento. I haven’t been updating myself with the new malls that have sprouted in the Metro. One thing that this place has going against it is its location. The best description/direction…

Kartel Rooftop Bar Poblacion, Makati

[2019-Oct-03] Trying to find this rooftop bar even in these times of Waze, Googlemaps, etc. can be a challenge. Unless I missed it, there was no other more visible signage except for these ‘posters’ on a wall perpendicular to the road and it is even partially obscured from the road. You can’t even read ‘Kartel’…

Abbiocco Alternative Filipino Tomas Morato, QC

[2019-July-24] Soft opening operations is a tricky thing. It allows you to operate ASAP but some unwanted compromise might arise. The place looks nice and clean. It is located on the ground floor of Metro Stonerich Corporate Center Building at Tomas Morato. It is spacious and tasteful. Lets start with what I liked most. My…

Encima Roofdeck Restaurant Poblacion, Makati

[2019-Sep-25] Encima is normally less crowded compared to other roofdeck places in Poblacion. This maybe attributed to that fact that the place is less forgiving during extreme weather conditions so people don’t have it as a top of mind place to go. Too much sunlight, too much wind, etc. Even just a drizzle and gentle…

Ilustrado Restaurant Intramuros , Manila

[2019-Sep-05] I used to be in Intramuros quite frequently when I used to be active in wedding photography. You can’t help but admire the ‘historic feel’ of the place. Intramuros is home to a number of sought after churches for weddings. It is also home to a number of restaurants/event places. Ilustrado is one of…
