Lunch at Paseo Uno

We treated my cousin Sharon, who came home from the US, to a buffet lunch at Paseo Uno at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. I haven’t eaten there in a year. I was eager to see what’s new. I was glad to see Paseo Uno has maintained it’s nice decor. It still looks fresh andContinue reading “Lunch at Paseo Uno”

Ristras Mexican Grill is the newest restaurant in J. Abad Santos st.

J. Abad Santos st. is becoming a vibrant food street in San Juan. It’s home to Alex III, Mann Hann, Little Store and Sandy’s Pizza.

Dinner at Toast Box

When we were at Food Republic in Wisma Atrium in Singapore we discovered Toast Box. We fell in love with their kopi (coffee) both hot and cold and declared it one of the best coffees we’ve ever tasted. It was strong, smooth and not acidic. I told Chris and Rochelle that there is Toast BoxContinue reading “Dinner at Toast Box”

Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria

I attended the blessing of Cara Mia’s branch in Greenhills. Cara Mia is part of Amici restaurant. I dragged Rochelle and Chris to accompany me.

Our hands down favorite was the spaghetti in oliveContinue reading “Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria”

Fely J Revisited

I already featured Fely J before. This time we went back to treat our HS classmate, Eileen and her hubby, Nelson who came all the way from San Francisco.

Dinner at Via Mare

We had an impromptu girls night out the other day. The venue was Rockwell and the only choice to eat at was Via Mare. Well Pat requested it since she still craved for Filipino food. I didn’t mind since I always crave for Via Mare’s bibingka. Their pancit luglog was a big disappointment. It didn’tContinue reading “Dinner at Via Mare”
