Buffet at Marriott Cafe

Another hotel another buffet. I’m not a big fan of buffets but I was eager to see Resort World and Marriott Hotel. As far as I know this is the only buffet in Manila that had free iced tea and 4 kinds too. There was the St. Patrick’s iced tea which was green and tooContinue reading “Buffet at Marriott Cafe”

Lunch at Jasmine, New World Hotel

I had always wanted to try Jasmine the new Chinese restaurant at the New World Hotel in Makati. When I got the invitation from my friend to eat lunch at Jasmine on a holiday Monday last October I enthusiastically said yes. There were 6 adults for lunch and we ordered mostly dim sum, soup, 1Continue reading “Lunch at Jasmine, New World Hotel”

Who is Mikey Bustos?

The first time I heard of Mikey Bustos was through his video which spread like wildfire through Facebook. Today another of his videos showed up on my Facebook wall and it made me laugh giving me a break from all the heartbreaking videos I’ve been watching on CNN about Japan’s sad tragedy. I knew MikeyContinue reading “Who is Mikey Bustos?”

Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt

The only good thing about my birthday dinner at Cantinetta last September was dessert after at Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt. Before I even tried Golden Spoon I already heard from some friends that it didn’t taste like yogurt, it wasn’t tart, etc. When I tried it I loved it! For me it was like eatingContinue reading “Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt”

Dinner at Cantinetta

Cantinetta has been around for quite a while in Makati. I only got the chance to try it last September when we went to their Podium branch to celebrate my birthday. There were very few people that night. We were off to a good start. The complimentary bread was warm and crisp and the liverContinue reading “Dinner at Cantinetta”

Dinner at Omakase

It’s funny but I pass by Omakase in Greenhills every single day on the way to work but it was my first time to eat there. Tes and IContinue reading “Dinner at Omakase”

Broccoli Slaw

The first time I tried broccoli slaw was in Virginia last July when my cousin La made it for dinner. I never thought I would enjoy eating raw broccoli but I did. In the USA making broccoli slaw took no more 5 minutes. You simply buy a bag of pre-washed broccoli slaw and a jarContinue reading “Broccoli Slaw”

Levain Bakery

You are looking at a picture of the best cookie I’ve ever eaten. Last July 2010 I was in New York for 2 days only. It was way too short and we tried to cram in as many restaurants as we could. On our last day we had lunch at Jin Fong in Chinatown. AfterContinue reading “Levain Bakery”

Army Navy Burger + Burrito

Last October Army Navy Burger + Burrito opened right across the building where my store was. I was so excited to try it. Since my favorite fast food burger, Hotshots closed their branch in the same street I didn’t have any place nearby to get my burger fix. Army Navy and Yellow Cab pizza areContinue reading “Army Navy Burger + Burrito”

Lunch at A Taste of L.A. Cafe

It was Db’s turn to treat Rochelle and me for her birthday and she chose to have lunch at A Taste of L.A. I was surprised to learn that it was still open. The last time I ate there was in the late 90s. When DB suggested A Taste of L.A. I had my doubtsContinue reading “Lunch at A Taste of L.A. Cafe”
