I’m always on the lookout for good Filipino restaurants in Manila to bring balikbayans to. I’ve read about Pino but I didn’t feel like going to their original branch in Quezon City. I was glad they opened a new branch in Jupiter St. in Makati. The restaurant was next to Mangetsu. My friend Ariel cameContinue reading “Lunch at Pino Resto Bar”

Dinner at Hanobe Asian Cuisine
Once a year I meet with my business partners in our company called Swisher. This year we ate at Hanobe Asian Cuisine at Greenhills Town Center. It was my first time to go to Greenhills Town Center. I was surprised how spacious it was and there were lots of parking spaces. From the outside itContinue reading “Dinner at Hanobe Asian Cuisine”
Subspace Coffee House
Subspace Coffee House has been on my list of ‘must try’ places and silly me I never noticed that it was just next door to where my store was. It was only a minute walk away! Since I had a very unsatisfactory and sad lunch at Jacob’s Shawarma I decided to console myself with coffeeContinue reading “Subspace Coffee House”
Jacob’s Shawarma & Kebab
My friend Jenny told me about Jacob’s Shawarma since she knew how much I love shawarma and it was just a few minutes walk from my store. Is he Jacob? He reminds me of Ben Affleck and Chris O’Donnell. Amazing that they’re open 24 hours. A strong aroma of spices assaulted my senses I soonContinue reading “Jacob’s Shawarma & Kebab”
Purple Oven
I’ve heard about Purple Oven and always wanted to try their products. I finally went to their Oranbo, Pasig branch. It’s behind Dahlia motel in case you have a hard time looking for it. All the products are displayed on tables and the chiller and their staff follow you around to get your order whichContinue reading “Purple Oven”
Makimono Obsession at Omakase
Other than my single trip to Haru all my sushi obsession for two weeks was supplied by Omakase in Greenhills. I would take out a few orders of sushi rolls and eat it for lunch and dinner. I have yet to appreciate the joy of eating sashimi or raw fish and I’m taking baby stepsContinue reading “Makimono Obsession at Omakase”
Lunch at Haru Sushi Bar & Restaurant
Lately I’ve been craving sushi a lot. I just want to eat it everyday. Since I pass by Haru Sushi Bar & Restaurant in Kapitolyo, Pasig at least once a week I went there to sate my sushi hunger. I arrived there just before 2:00 pm and was in luck that they were still open.Continue reading “Lunch at Haru Sushi Bar & Restaurant”
Kozui Green Tea
I saw Kozui Green Tea featured in a magazine recently and went to try it out since I was in Quezon City anyway for my weekly acupuncture session. I thought it was a new restaurant until I saw it and realized it has been around for a number of years and I just totally forgotContinue reading “Kozui Green Tea”
Early Bird Breakfast Club
I love breakfast food but I don’t wake up early enough to indulge in a full breakfast. My usual breakfast is simply Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. When I was notified that an all breakfast restaurant opened in The Fort Complex I didn’t waste any time to try it out for lunch. I find itContinue reading “Early Bird Breakfast Club”
Lunch at Kichitora
Yes another ramen restaurant has joined the ramen craze in Manila. Even though I’ve often said I’m not a big ramen fan I decided to try Kichitora at SM Megamall just for my dear readers. Kichitora is located at the 2nd level of the atrium right across Yabu. This is the first branch of KichitoraContinue reading “Lunch at Kichitora”
