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”
Fling Frozen Yogurt and more Tagaytay pictures
After lunch at Antonio’s and shopping at Bag of Beans we went to Taal Vista Hotel to take the prerequisite photos with the Taal volcano as a backdrop. Parking at the hotel for those who don’t eat or stay there was P100 but with some chutzpah I got our parking stub validated at the restaurant.Continue reading “Fling Frozen Yogurt and more Tagaytay pictures”
Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City
After lunch at Antonio’s we headed to Bag of Beans. For me a trip to Tagaytay wouldn’t be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans to buy my favorite steak and mushroom pie. Sure they sell coffee hence the name. I’m sure it’s good but I’ve never tried them. They also sell different kinds ofContinue reading “Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City”
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”
Dinner at Lu Restaurant in Rockwell
Ever since I saw heart-2-heart’s post on Lu I knew I had to try it. So when my friends wanted to get together I immediately suggested Lu. None of them have tried it either. I liked the restaurant’s clean and modern look unfortunately the ambient temperature was terribly warm when we ate there last AprilContinue reading “Dinner at Lu Restaurant in Rockwell”
iPad cases and accessories in Manila
I finally got my iPad 32gb wifi two weeks ago from Deb who brought it home from San Francisco. It wouldn’t have been possible if not for the patience and resourcefulness of Jeanne who bought it for me. She went to Apple’s Union Square store at the exact time a new delivery arrived. Thanks JeanneContinue reading “iPad cases and accessories in Manila”
