Dinner at Tapella Restaurant
Last weekend has been good for my blog but very bad for my diet. Last night the same group who ate at Yedang decided to eat out again. I suggested Tapella in Greenbelt 5 since I love paella and wanted to try their manchego paella. I didn’t know Tapella was owned by Gaudi. TheContinue reading “Dinner at Tapella Restaurant”
Yedang Korean Restaurant again
I’ve been on a diet for a week now. I only ate a small chicken pie for breakfast and a pb&j sandwich for lunch today. By 5 pm I was so hungry already. I was about to cook dinner when Rochelle called and asked if I wanted to eat at Yedang Korean restaurant. I immediatelyContinue reading “Yedang Korean Restaurant again”
Jollibee Chicken Barbecue
I saw this sign outside Jollibee Greenhills right across V-mall. That means Jollibee new product is out.

The menu board is full of chickenContinue reading “Jollibee Chicken Barbecue”

Earle’s Delicatessen
Earle’s Delicatessen is located in the same building as my gym. I’ve always wanted to take pics but I always forget to put my camera in my gym bag. Today I finally remembered. Earle’s is at the back entrance of Wynsum Building. I’ve never eaten at Earle’s. I usually buy their deli meats and sausagesContinue reading “Earle’s Delicatessen”
Lunch at Chili’s
If you’ve been following this blog you’ll know how much I love burgers. You’ll also know that I’ve tried several burgers around Manila. Some were good while others were disappointing.
