Sunday Lunch at Stella

Our big Sunday lunch group tried out Stella one of the new restaurants in Bonifacio High Street. It’s the newest baby in the Raintree Restaurants group which also owns popular restaurants Museum Cafe, Chelsea Market Cafe, Mr. Jones and Momo Cafe. The landscaping of Bonifacio High Street was very pleasing to the eyes and senses.Continue reading “Sunday Lunch at Stella”

A Slice of Pizza Love @ Nolita

I have a love/hate relationship with pizza. I love it to death but I hate the fat and calories that come with it. I did the ultimate sacrifice by not eating pizza for 1 year and now it’s time to get reacquainted with an old love. Where else should I celebrate this momentous occasion butContinue reading “A Slice of Pizza Love @ Nolita”

Dinner at Tanabe Japanese Restaurant

Before watching Lady Gaga’s concert last May we went to Mall of Asia for dinner. Deb asked me where I wanted to eat. I asked her if the Japanese restaurant I ate at when Mall of Asia was newly opened was still around. She excitedly said, “Yes, Tanabe is still open!” To say I wasContinue reading “Dinner at Tanabe Japanese Restaurant”

Dinner at El Cirkulo

In Manila new restaurants open and close as fast as you can blink. Some restaurants are so popular that they reach their peak too soon and lose business in a year or so. In my opinion restaurants which serve consistently good food stay open much longer. Such is the case with El Cirkulo.Whenever the questionContinue reading “Dinner at El Cirkulo”

Dinner at Brasserie CiÇou

The first and last time I ate at Restaurant CiÇou in Makati was in 2010. I really liked the food despite lots of mixed reviews I’ve heard and read. I was sad when they closed since I wasn’t able to go back.When I heard they opened a new restaurant in Greenhills I was ecstatic. ImagineContinue reading “Dinner at Brasserie CiÇou”

Breakfast Buffet at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa

I would never deliberately pay for breakfast buffet since I always eat a simple and boring breakfast and all the choices would simply overwhelm me and tempt me beyond reason. But since buffet breakfast at Shangri-La Boracay’s Vintana restaurant was included with the room I might as well enjoy myself.The small shots of mango lycheeContinue reading “Breakfast Buffet at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa”

Lunch at Boracay Crab House

As soon as I finished taking pictures of the rooms at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort and Spa we hightailed out of there for a much needed late lunch. We couldn’t wait for the resort’s free shuttle so we hired their van to take us Escondido Beach Resort to eat at Boracay Crab House. The van droppedContinue reading “Lunch at Boracay Crab House”

Dinner at Kasbah, Boracay

One of the best things I liked about Kasbah was it’s location. It’s right next to the Discovery Shores hotel where we stayed. We didn’t need to go where the crowds were. A short walk on the beach with the cool breeze blowing our hair and in a minute we were there. It was myContinue reading “Dinner at Kasbah, Boracay”

Lunch at Mañana Mexican Cuisine

My first meal in Boracay was in Mañana Mexican Cuisine. I never thought I’d eat Mexican food in Boracay but my friends highly recommended it.From Discovery Shores we took a tricycle to D’Mall to get to the restaurant. I saw some new restaurants that weren’t there the last time I went to Boracay.Halowich Super SubmarineContinue reading “Lunch at Mañana Mexican Cuisine”

Dinner at Cova tapas y sangria

I still have a long backlog of posts from a trip to Boracay to my recent trip to Europe but I’m writing about my recent dinner at Cova first. Rochelle and I as well as several US based cousins just came back from Spain where we had a wonderful time eating all kinds of tapasContinue reading “Dinner at Cova tapas y sangria”
