I finally got to visit the newest mega casino resort that just opened in Manila. As soon as you pass the tight security and enter the lobby you are greeted by two statuesque ladies in high, high heels. The large skylight and beautiful decorative fixtures were quite impressive. The scale and grandeur really felt likeContinue reading “Solaire Resort and Casino”

Brownie Crunchies
Have you ever heard of Brownie Crunchies? I haven’t either until my friend gave me a bag of it.These goodies are from Brownies Unlimited which you can find in SM Malls and a few other malls. Let me confess, I’ve never bought anything from their store. It’s because I’m afraid. I’m afraid that I willContinue reading “Brownie Crunchies”
New Menu at C2 Classic Cuisine
I’ve eaten at C2 Classic Cuisine in Greenhills twice before and both times with balikbayans. There were hits and misses but generally my guests enjoyed the Filipino food. When I was recently invited to try out their new menu I immediately invited 3 of my friends to join me. I liked the new interiors aContinue reading “New Menu at C2 Classic Cuisine”
Dinner at Tsumura
My friend Deb can’t believe I haven’t eaten at Tsumura. I can’t believe it either. I didn’t know we were eating out that night and I didn’t bring my camera so pardon these pictures taken with my iPhone. Tsumura is located on the 2nd floor of an office building in Makati so it’s not reallyContinue reading “Dinner at Tsumura”
Online Shopping on Taste Central
You all know I’m a foodie but what you don’t know is I’m an online shopaholic too. When I go to the US and stay in my cousin’s house she is shocked that a lot of packages arrive from Amazon among others. Even when I’m in Manila I often add stuff to my Amazon wishContinue reading “Online Shopping on Taste Central”
Lobster Buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel Philippines
I’m not too keen on buffets because my tummy can’t catch up with everything my eyes devour. When Fran, who’s back in Manila for a short trip, texted me if I wanted to try a lobster buffet it didn’t take me a second to reply a resounding “YES!” You see, lobster is my favorite seafood.Continue reading “Lobster Buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel Philippines”
My Kitchen by Chef Chris
My friend Ariel lives in San Francisco, a city with so many, many good pizzas. He’s the one who brought me to Pizzeria Delfina which I really enjoyed. I wanted him to try Chef Chris’ creation formerly known as panizza since I know think there’s nothing like that in the US yet. This was myContinue reading “My Kitchen by Chef Chris”
Birthday Treat at Brasserie CiÇou
My friends Kathy and Jenny treated us for their birthday at Brasserie CiÇou in Greenhills. Since I enjoyed my last meal there I was eager to try something new. When you eat at CiÇou make sure you go there hungry since I guarantee you will gorge on their hot crusty rolls which are probably the best freeContinue reading “Birthday Treat at Brasserie CiÇou”
Lunch at Lolo Dad’s Cafe
Lolo Dad’s in Manila has been open since the year 2000 and I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. I finally got the chance recently when I brought my friend Ariel there for lunch. The dining area wasn’t very big but it was quite cozy. I was very impressed with the oven,Continue reading “Lunch at Lolo Dad’s Cafe”
Breakfast at Antonio’s
Whenever I go to San Francisco my friend Ariel takes me to all the best restaurants in the city. When he comes to Manila it’s my turn to treat him. His only request this time was to eat at Antonio’s since he enjoyed it so much the last time he ate there. I tried callingContinue reading “Breakfast at Antonio’s”
