Doggie Play Date

I didn’t feel like writing about restaurants so I’ll write about my dogs instead. Last Saturday night my doggies had a play date with Hans, a miniature Dachshund. I wanted to see if the Pomeranians will get along with a Dachshund so I asked Jay to bring his dog to our house. The first fewContinue reading “Doggie Play Date”

First Gourmet Academy

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Jeff of Awesome.ph asking me if I wanted to try out a cooking class at First Gourmet Academy. It didn’t even take me 30 seconds to reply with a big YES! I was so excited since it was going to be my first cooking class.Continue reading “First Gourmet Academy”

Sunday Buffet at Senju

We couldn’t get a reservation at Inagiku, Shangri-La Makati’s Japanese restaurant so we decided to try Senju at Edsa Shangri-La. Just like Inagiku, Senju had a wide variety of sushi, sashimi and cold salads. They were good too but not as creative and fabulous as the ones at Inagiku. California Maki This was my favoriteContinue reading “Sunday Buffet at Senju”

Dinner at Cyma

After appetizers at Sumo Sam my college buddies and I moved to Cyma for our main meal. Cyma is one of those restaurants where I know I can always get a good and consistent meal. It’s been around for several years and is still going strong. The dip was very garlicky and tasted like creamContinue reading “Dinner at Cyma”

Sushi at Sumo Sam

Last August I got together with my college buddies to celebrate (very belatedly) Raymond and Gunn’s birthday. It was my first time to eat at Sumo Sam’s and I was amazed with their very extensive menu. There were several things I wanted to try but I let the guys do the ordering since it wasContinue reading “Sushi at Sumo Sam”

Lunch at Nasi Lemak

When I came back from the USA last August, Nasi Lemak was the first restaurant I ate at with my friend Tisay who was in town from Hong Kong. I really like Singaporean food but haven’t found any good ones in Manila. I’ve read in several blogs that Nasi Lemak is authentic so I decidedContinue reading “Lunch at Nasi Lemak”

Kanin Club again!

It’s hasn’t even been a month since the last time I ate at Kanin Club and two weeks ago I brought my aunt and uncle and a couple of their friends. All of them were from Texas. It’s now my favorite place to bring balikbayans and foreigners to eat Filipino food. I ordered my favoriteContinue reading “Kanin Club again!”

Pink’s at LAX

I’ve seen Pink’s on tv so many times over the years. It’s a landmark in Hollywood and I’ve always wanted to try it. After dinner at Osteria Mozza, Sid and family drove me to the airport for my flight back to Manila. On the way, Kevin pointed out Pink’s to me. It was around 7:40Continue reading “Pink’s at LAX”

Dinner at Osteria Mozza

After a wonderful seven week vacation that began in late June and ended in August 2010 it was time to say goodbye and get back to reality. With all my luggage in the car, my cousin Sidney and his wife Mary brought me to Osteria Mozza for my last meal before going to the airport.Continue reading “Dinner at Osteria Mozza”

Breakfast at Eggs ‘N’ Things

It was a Saturday in August and my last day in the USA. We started the day right by going out for a huge breakfast. I was all packed up and ready to spend my last day eating and relaxing. Since the airlines limited luggage allowance to two pieces at 50 lbs each for internationalContinue reading “Breakfast at Eggs ‘N’ Things”
