French Cuisine – Shoot First Eat Later

Le Petit Soufflé SM Mega Fashion Hall

I’ve eaten at Le Petit Souffle at their first branch at Century City mall but both times it was for dessert. They have a wicked matcha parfait! Now that they’ve open a second branch at SM Mega Fashion Hall I’ll get to eat there more often.

Michelin-Starred Chef Richard Toix Degustation Menu at The Tivoli

I don’t even remember the last time I ate at Mandarin Oriental’s The Tivoli. It must have been decades ago. It took a few pictures of Michelin-Starred Richard Toix’ offerings on Instagram to make me go back.

Antonio’s Tagaytay 2014

I go to Antonio’s in Tagaytay whenever my friend Ariel comes home from San Francisco because that’s his favorite restaurant. I don’t mind going to Antonio’s more than once a year though.

Paul SM Aura Manila

When Rochelle and I went to Paris a couple of years ago one of the simple meals we enjoyed was from Paul in the basement of the Louvre.

People let me introduce you to my happy place. The name is Le Salon de Thé de Joel Robuchon and the location is at Elements Mall.

Brasserie Girolle

Rochelle and I were supposed to have lunch at Early Bird Breakfast Club to use the coupon she bought online but she left it at home. I didn’t mind since we got to try Brasserie Girolle next door.

Restaurant 101 at Enderun College

My friend Rizette asked me for suggestions where we can have her birthday dinner. After many, many suggestions she eventually came up with Enderun’s Restaurant 101 herself.

Eric Kayser Bakery Grab & Go Hong Kong

Since I’ll be going to Hong Kong again soon I decided to post my discoveries from my trip last Holy Week. I didn’t know Eric Kayser, a popular bakery from France, opened a store in Hong Kong until a thoughtful reader pointed it out to me.

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”
