The first on my list of “must go” places in New York was Eataly. As soon as we dropped off our bags at Residence Inn in Times Square and took a quick detour in Bryant Park we walked 17 blocks to Eataly. The mozarepa must have given us renewed energy to walk so far. WeContinue reading “Eataly, NYC”

Lunch at Yabu: The House of Katsu
Recently my friend Michelle invited me to try out her brother John’s new restaurant, Yabu at SM Megamall’s Atrium. I went there for lunch on a weekday with Rochelle. The place was full and there were even a couple of tables with Japanese diners. Warning: I broke my diet to eat here. And yes I’mContinue reading “Lunch at Yabu: The House of Katsu”
Sarap Pinoy’s Ready Mixes – Bibingka Love
What would your kids say if they came home from school and you have hot, freshly baked bibingka for their merienda? They will probably think you bought it right? Well, now you can honestly say that you made it yourself. Yesterday I received two big boxes of goodies from my friend who makes all theseContinue reading “Sarap Pinoy’s Ready Mixes – Bibingka Love”
Happy Hour at PassionFish
You know you’re old when you go to a bar for the cheap food during happy hour. Since I loved the food at PassionFish I was sure the bar food would be equally good too. The bar area was full when we arrived at 6 pm so we just stood and ate our chow. YesContinue reading “Happy Hour at PassionFish”
Brunch at The Fox Hound
I arrived in Virginia early in the morning. After unpacking and some breakfast we drove to Middleburg, Virginia. Only half an hour from our location the area felt like I stepped back in time. This is my cousin Lanneth with her hubby Chee and kids Ethan and Erin. She was my host for more thanContinue reading “Brunch at The Fox Hound”
Recipes by Cafe Metro
Let me interrupt my posts on my recent trip to the US with this local restaurant I treated my office mates to last September for my birthday. I don’t know how I missed posting these pictures. The first time I tried Recipes several years ago was at SM Mega Mall. My friend Rizette treated usContinue reading “Recipes by Cafe Metro”
Off The Grid: Food Trucks at Fort Mason Center
Food trucks are really popular in the USA specially in San Francisco. I didn’t think I would be able to eat at one considering my short stay in the city. After dropping off my luggage at the Marriott hotel Kit surprised me by saying we were going to Fort Mason Center where all the foodContinue reading “Off The Grid: Food Trucks at Fort Mason Center”
Oxbow Public Market
I’m not an “ice cream” kind of girl. I’m more of the “coffee and cookies” type. After lunch at Morimoto, we went to Oxbow Public Market for my coffee from Ritual Roasters. I only wanted coffee but Kit knew my weakness for anything ‘chocolate orange‘ and he let me try the ice cream he bought.Continue reading “Oxbow Public Market”
Lunch at Morimoto, Napa
On my second and last day in Napa I chose to eat at Morimoto since my cousin Sidney and Mary couldn’t stop raving about the food there. There were so many excellent restaurants in Napa but I really wanted to try Morimoto since Masaharu Morimoto is my all-time favorite Iron Chef for both the JapaneseContinue reading “Lunch at Morimoto, Napa”
Dinner at Bouchon Bistro
My first day in Napa Valley was spent eating in all of Thomas Keller’s restaurants in Yountville. My ultimate dream and goal is to eat at French Laundry but since I’m too cheap to shell out $300+ for a meal I was happy enough to try Keller’s other establishments starting with lunch at Addendum, pastriesContinue reading “Dinner at Bouchon Bistro”
