Lusso, Greenbelt

2011-02-09T04:17:00.000-08:00

Value for money is what you will always get when you dine in Lusso, Greenbelt. Their meals range from P400 to P1000 and they always presented well. Foie Gras ToastSuper awesome! The toast, sauce and foie gras go perfectly and you can also eat the portion of salad on the side if it's too rich for you. Truffle ChipsMy favorite appetizer. Tastes like heaven and you can really taste (and smell)

Shiok

2010-10-08T04:23:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed our dinner at Shiok in Fort Bonifacio the other day because it's alot better than Nasi Lemak in Robinson's Galleria and Orchard Road in SM Megamall. I have been frustrated with the wannabe singaporean restaurants and it makes me miss singapore even more. Shiok is a tiny restaurant in between 7eleven and BPI. Service here is slow, since there are only 3 waiters and too many diners. The

Apartment 1B

2010-10-04T01:38:00.000-07:00

Apartment 1B is a good choice when you need a nice ambiance so you can catch up with people. Service here is average (since the place is supposed to be slightly upscale) and the food is good if you know what to order. Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Pork ChopsHomemade applesauce, potato corn gratin and vegetablesThe pork chop was slightly overcooked since it was tough. The fat of the porkchop was

Best Ilocano Food

2010-10-03T23:49:00.000-07:00

If you ever decide to have a food trip in Ilocos, here are just "some" of the yummiest food (and very affordable too!) you can find: 1. MikiA noodle soup with hard boiled egg. Perfect when eaten with puto and bread sticks plus loads of ilocos vinegar. Miki Up-close:) The noodles have an eggy taste to it but it goes perfectly if you add of spicy sukang ilocos! You can also ask for extra soup if

Buy1Take1 Family Size Pizza @ Pizzahut

2010-10-03T22:40:00.000-07:00

We had pizza delivered and they told us they had a buy 1 take 1 promo. We got 2 family size pizzas and Pepsi Max for less than PHP 600. This is what we had along with loads of hot sauce: Supreme PizzaThis was average....:( Bacon CheeseburgerThis was the highlight since the bacon and burger bits are so juicy:) Cheers!:)

Dinuguan Pizza @ Saramsam Restaurant, Ilocos Norte

2010-09-09T21:15:00.000-07:00

Saramsam is the sister restaurant of Herencia Cafe. Food here is so great! It is located in Laoag and is right beside a karaoke place, so if you easily get annoyed with people singing the wrong tunes, you may want to visit during the day rather than dinner time. Dinuguan PizzaThis is a must! The highlight of my food fest! I know it seems disgusting, but it’s realllly goooood! Next time I visit,

Ilocos Norte: Blue Lagoon and Lunch at Hannah's Beach Resort

2010-09-06T00:05:00.000-07:00

J, S and I decided to go to the amazing Blue Lagoon in Maira-ira, Pagudpud during our Ilocos vacation. Here is the view en route to Blue Lagoon.:) Half of the road to Blue Lagoon is fixed, while the other half has yet to be developed. It would be best to use a nice van or any 4-wheel drive for more comfort and speed. Doughnut shaped landmark:) We decided to stay at Hannah's Beach Resort for

Ilocos Norte: Paoay Church and Herencia Cafe

2010-09-01T22:58:00.000-07:00

Paoay Church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which looked a lot better 13 years ago, when the area was less commercialized. Corals were one of the materials used to build this:) When you visit, you need to dine in Herencia Café and have their Ilocano Pizzas. As you dine here, you have a really pretty view of the church. J, M, J and I decided to have a snack and eat: Pinakbet Pizza and

Zao Vietnamese Bistro

2010-08-31T21:00:00.000-07:00

When I feel unhealthy and need good soup, I choose Vietnamese restaurants. J and I had Pho and we enjoyed it like our last visit. Seafood PhoJ's favorite:) Chicken PhoMakes you feel alot better especially when you have a cold.:) It'll taste so good if you crush the basil and put alot of chili! Love it! Zao has average service - not great and not bad either. If you order Pho, you get the food in

Amoroma, Tagaytay - Worst Service Ever

2010-08-31T20:49:00.000-07:00

My friends and I decided to have lunch in Amoroma, Tagaytay. If it weren't for my friends, I would have thrown a fit due to HORRIBLE SERVICE. 1. We got our food almost 1 hour after we ordered - the lady said my Risotto takes 15 minutes. Hello.... 60 minutes is very far from 15 minutes! 2. P complained (in the nicest possible way) to the owner (Italian) and you won't believe what he said: "It's a

Texas Roadhouse Grill

2010-08-31T20:29:00.000-07:00

Texas Roadhouse is my favorite place when I need good food, comfortable chairs, efficient service and friendly staff. I decided to try their Fajitas and I could not finish it since the serving was generous. El Paso Fajitas ComboChicken and Beef Fajitas :)The chicken and beef were both tender and the veggies were still crunchy - which is always a plus! You can always add chilli sauce to make

Nasi Lemak Authentic Singaporean Restaurant

2010-08-30T01:30:00.000-07:00

Nasi Lemak is a Singaporean Restaurant in Robinsons Galleria. The reviews are really good so we decided to try it out one day. After eating there twice, I don't agree with all those reviews especially since I have been to Singapore at least 5 times already. Roti PrathaThe curry sauce was a bit watery but the bread was moist and the texture was crispy on the outside and soft inside. This was

Flapjacks for Breakfast

2010-08-29T19:26:00.000-07:00

I had breakfast in Flapjacks, Greenbelt with my mom and Sisters. The ambiance reminds you of Pancake house with more space and better service. I would pick this any day to Pancake house since the staff are more efficient. Vigan Longganisa with 2 eggsMy mom and my sister C had this one and it's pretty good especially if you ask them to burn the longganisa a bit so it can be slightly crunchy.

Junkfood Diaries: Greenwich Pizza

2010-08-29T19:05:00.000-07:00

I have always wondered what Greenwich Pizza tastes like (especially since they have so much commercials) and finally J and I got to try it. They deliver in 20-30 minutes and they have prompt service, however..... the Pizza tastes like cardboard. Perhaps it would be better if I had ordered the thin crust. The toppings are great, but the dough needs alot of work. Our bill was around PHP 600. I hope

Junk Food Diaries: Sandy's Pizza

2010-08-07T05:28:00.000-07:00

I have never been a fan of pizza, but I have to say that this is worth trying. Sandy's Pizza is located in the Katipunan/ White Plains area and they just opened a branch in Makati, behind Rockwell. They have a wide range of flavors and the beauty about this place is they can deliver with different kinds of pizza flavors. Their best seller is the White Pizza - all cheese. J and I decided to eat

Nihonbashitei Steak

2010-08-07T05:07:00.000-07:00

My new favorite Japanese Restaurant is Nihonbashitei. If you're looking for a teppanyaki place that's a bit on the fun side, this is where you can take your family or friends, except if there is a Senior Citizen. Service here is average (since the waitresses need to smile and show life), though the food is great! Appetizer: Salmon SashimiA good appetizer before starting with teppanyaki Here it

Razon's

2010-08-04T19:10:00.000-07:00

Razon's is a filipino fastfood restaurant serving affordable dishes. They serve you the food 5 minutes after you order and food is your typical filipino bestseller dishes. They also serve breakfast and most branches deliver. Arroz CaldoJ's order. He has been eating lugaw lately since he's dieting. He claims it's good. I think the serving is a bit small. It's one of the cheapest dishes on the

Red Kimono

2010-08-03T20:42:00.000-07:00

Red Kimono is a great Japanese Restaurant since their food is always good and affordable. Service is average and could need more improvement to make the dining experience better. Check out what we had: Crunchy Tuna MakiI find their sushi really good. This was excellent and I would definitely order it again. The maki is rolled in tempura flakes, so don't think it's deep fried:) Super Awesome

Junkfood Diaries: Army Navy Burger

2010-07-28T21:05:00.000-07:00

Army Navy is my new favorite burger here in Manila. Next would be Wham Burger from Katipunan. Check out the picture of the "regular" burger....soooooo good! Posting this makes me crave for another one.:)The bread they used is moist and good. The regular burger is served with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. I ordered extra cheese and onions :) I love how juicy the burger is and the meat they use

Jipan

2010-07-26T01:11:00.000-07:00

Jipan is one of my favorite places to go since they have delicious food and really yummy bread. I would usually drop by the Glorietta branch to buy their MONROE Bread since it tastes like croissant!!!! J and I ate at the Megamall Branch after we spent an hour in Forever 21 and the Gun Show. I got an awesome meal since its a bento set: Tuna Sashimisooooo gooood! Miso soup (also part of my bento

Pizza Hut

2010-07-24T23:02:00.000-07:00

I got to satisfy my craving for stuffed crust pizza the other day when J and I had one delivered.......awesome! We ordered the bacon supreme, though instead of bacon, we asked them to put beef for us to think we were being healthy. haha Posting this makes me want another one...with lots of hot sauce! My favorite part....:) Pizza Hut will always be my favorite pizza place since they have

La Creperie

2010-07-24T22:51:00.000-07:00

Crepe has always been one of my favorite desserts. Check out what I had in La Creperie in Eastwood Mall, Libis: Butter Sugar CrepeYes, I know it lacks fruits, ice cream and more fat. Believe it or not, I actually prefer my crepe as simple as possible. The best butter sugar crepe is from cafe breton. This will do for now:) Nutella CrepeJ liked this one. The place is comfortable and the service

Stevie's Hainanese Chicken

2010-07-12T06:46:00.000-07:00

My family and I finally got to try the famous Hainanese Chicken of Stevie. May I announce that EVERYONE is correct and accurate in describing the yumminess of this chicken! Ah love it! My sister A ordered 2 so that we can try both types of rice. She called two days before and we picked it up in Bel Air. The ladies that brought the food to our car were friendly and quick. I've tried Hainanese

Junkfood Diaries: Baked Chips from Healthy Options

2010-07-12T06:30:00.000-07:00

My former awesome nutritionist, L taught me to buy baked chips since it's healthier than my favorite lays and kettle chips. I decided to buy this brand from Healthy Options. It was the most decent looking baked chips I could find and I did not notice the cost till I was paying for it. The price is equal to two bags of Lays or two Bags of Kettle Chips....and to think the container is smaller!:)To

Zao Vietnamese Bistro

2010-07-11T20:25:00.000-07:00

J and I decided to "eat healthy" right before we buy our movie food (which is equal to nachos, cheese sticks and popcorn). Zao is located on the 2F of Eastwood Mall. The service here is nothing special, though we enjoyed since we were the only ones dining here - which could also be a bad sign. Haha! Our food took 10-18 minutes to be served. Fresh RollsWith pork, shrimps, noodles, beensprouts,
