Dessert at La Crêperie

We had an unsatisfactory dinner and shawarma was a bust and my young godson and his brother refused to go home without dessert. We all racked our brains on where to have dessert until Vivian remembered La Crêperie in F. Calderon St. in Little Baguio. To top it off I also had a Deal GrocerContinue reading “Dessert at La Crêperie”

Dinner at Lombardi’s, Robinson’s Magnolia

We were supposed to have our Christmas dinner at Greeka Kouzina but it was full that Saturday night so we went to Robinson’s Magnolia and chose to eat at Lombardi’s.

Mochicream at The Podium

After my lunch at Madeca I was about to go down when I saw Mochicream, a Japanese sweets deli from Japan. I tried Mochicream the first time in Hong Kong and I loved it. Too bad their store in Sogo Causeway Bay has closed and I don’t know where their store is located now. I’mContinue reading “Mochicream at The Podium”

Lunch at Madeca at The Podium

Yesterday I went to The Podium for a simple errand for my cousin Sha who asked me to buy her a few bottles of squid ink from Terry’s Selection. This quick shopping trip led me to the 5th floor for lunch at Madeca. Madeca is located at the 5th floor cinema level of The PodiumContinue reading “Lunch at Madeca at The Podium”

Lunch at Greeka Kouzina

I’ve been wanting to try Greeka Kouzina for a while now. I’ve read about it in numerous blogs and it’s very near my house.

Chocolate Pretzel Bites

Usually my first post on the first day of the year is my family’s New Year’s Eve dinner party in our house but I was too frazzled with preparations that I wasn’t able to take enough pictures so I’m just sharing one of the desserts I made. We received a gift basket for Christmas thatContinue reading “Chocolate Pretzel Bites”

Green King at Butao Ramen 豚王

Yesterday I went back to Butao Ramen since my mom and my friend Elizabeth wanted to try the Black King since I was raving about it. It was also my chance to try the Green King. That’s my mom sitting on the stool first in line at 11:30 am. They were a little late openingContinue reading “Green King at Butao Ramen 豚王”

Lunch at Butao Ramen 豚王

I’ve written that I’m not a big fan of ramen. I did try Ukokkei, Ippudo and Mitsuyado Sei-Men and enjoyed my meals there but still wasn’t convinced. I think I’ve found the ramen that has made me a convert. I’ve read about Butao Ramen from numerous blogs and online magazines and I’ve always wanted to tryContinue reading “Lunch at Butao Ramen 豚王”
