Jane and I wanted Mila to try Bellini’s Italian restaurant which is actually within walking distance from where she lives. What? She lives so near yet she’s never been to Bellini’s? Shocking! I think everyone knows about Bellini’s, a restaurant tucked in a corner of Cubao expo. If you’re reading this and you’ve never beenContinue reading “Lunch at Bellini’s Italian Restaurant”

My Favorites!
Recently my friend Eric whom I haven’t seen in a long time and who just found out I have a blog asked me what my favorite Persian restaurant, siopao, chocolate cake, etc were. That got me thinking and now I’m sharing them with you. These are my personal favorites. You may or may not agreeContinue reading “My Favorites!”
Dinner at Shantung
You would think that lunch at C’ Italian Dining was it for the day. Nooo…! After lunch we did some shopping at Puregold in Clark then at the outlet stores of Adidas and Nike. My dear friends, tired from all that shopping had Razon’s halo halo for merienda. It was late in the afternoon whenContinue reading “Dinner at Shantung”
Lunch at C’ Italian Dining
Last May our group of friends were treated by Janet in celebration of her birthday. She chose C’ Italian Dining all the way in Angeles City in Pampanga, a province 1 1/2 hours from Manila (that’s without traffic). We were all excited since none of us have been there although we’ve heard lots of goodContinue reading “Lunch at C’ Italian Dining”
Australian products at Landmark supermarket
Kez’s Indulgence cookies I’ve featured Dinelli deli, a place where you can get Australian food products but they were quite costly. I was delighted to see a whole aisle in the newly renovated Landmark supermarket in Makati. These are just some of the products they had. Note: I took these pictures more than 2 monthsContinue reading “Australian products at Landmark supermarket”
Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurant Revisited
The last time I went to Golden Bay was almost a year ago on it’s opening day. I commented that the service was horribly slow due to first day glitches which was to be expected. The food wasn’t that great either. I was surprised by the number of comments that post garnered. Funny but aContinue reading “Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurant Revisited”
Calista’s 1st Birthday Bash
Calista Kaori is the daughter of my cousin Ricky and his lovely wife Rhoda. In the Philippines the Chinese community make a big deal out of a child’s birthday party and celebrate it big time. The last baby birthday party I attended was equally grand. The party was held at Greenhills West clubhouse. It was aContinue reading “Calista’s 1st Birthday Bash”
Lunch at Yakiniku Senri
We celebrated Andrew’s birthday at Yakiniku Senri, a Japanese/Korean restaurant specializing in grilled meats. I’ve featured several yakiniku restaurants in Manila and Hong Kong and Yakiniku Senri is my favorite. It had the best tasting beef and all the other dishes were excellent too. The prices were also reasonable specially when compared to the onesContinue reading “Lunch at Yakiniku Senri”
Lunch at Antonio’s in Tagaytay
Everyone knows about Antonio’s in Tagaytay. Much has been written about Antonio’s constant presence in the Miele guide to Asia’s best restaurants. I’ve only eaten there once a long, long time ago and to be honest I don’t remember the place making an impact. It was time to try it out again with my twoContinue reading “Lunch at Antonio’s in Tagaytay”
Dessert at The Ice Cream Bar – flavors by FIC
After dinner at Lu we walked next door for dessert at the ice cream bar. The ice cream was from FIC or Fruits in Ice Cream, a premium brand of ice cream in Manila. I’m a big fan of thei creamy ice cream and delicious flavors. I think they can compete with imported brands inContinue reading “Dessert at The Ice Cream Bar – flavors by FIC”
