My day in Washington DC started with a trip to the museum, lunch at Central, drinks at POV and ended with dinner at J&G Steakhouse located at W Hotel. J&G refers to popular French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. This restaurant combines some of the favorite dishes from his other restaurants in New York as well asContinue reading “Dinner at J&G Steakhouse”

The best thing I ever ate in the USA – Central Michel Richard
Yes this lovely fried beauty was the best thing I ever ate on my recent 7 week US vacation where I ate my way from the west to the east coast. The night before my trip to the museum I did some research on Yelp on where I could walk to for lunch. One ofContinue reading “The best thing I ever ate in the USA – Central Michel Richard”

Ever since I saw photos of Amici’s 13 new products on Facebook c/o my friends who were the photographer and stylist I started planningContinue reading “New Products at Amici”
Lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill
I found a new love. A fast food love. I discovered Chipotle and fell head over heels in love with their tacos. In fact I ate at Chipotle twice and in 2 different states. Chipotle Mexican Grill is chain of restaurants that sell gourmet burritos and tacos. Just that. They are known for having aContinue reading “Lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill”
Dinner from Wegmans Supermarket
It was another busy day for my cousin La. She had to ferry her kids from piano class to gymnastics to the dentist and many more. She didn’t have time to prepare dinner so before driving all around town she dropped me off at Wegmans supermarket and tasked me with buying our dinner. Wegmans isContinue reading “Dinner from Wegmans Supermarket”
Lunch at Coastal Flats
I’m not much of a seafood eater. I like it enough but it’s not my first choice when I eat out. That’s ironic since seafood is affordable and bountiful in the Philippines. My favorite seafood is lobster but I hardly see it in the menus in Manila because it’s very expensive. I was in TysonsContinue reading “Lunch at Coastal Flats”
Breakfast at The Original Pancake House
Whenever I go to Virginia to visit my 2 cousins they know my usual request is to eat at The Original Pancake House. I first tried The Original Pancake House in Chicago and Dallas. I’m so glad that Virginia has 1 branch and it’s near my cousin Sharon’s place. We usually go on weekend morningsContinue reading “Breakfast at The Original Pancake House”
Trapper’s Smokehouse at Busch Gardens
There were several dining options at Busch Gardens. There was a buffet, Irish fare, British pub, Italian choices and many more. What lured us to Trapper’s Smokehouse was the wonderful aroma of smoked meats cooking right in front of the restaurant. The food was laid out cafeteria style and there were more than 2 linesContinue reading “Trapper’s Smokehouse at Busch Gardens”
Lunch at Peking Restaurant, Williamsburg VA
By this time I have been in the US for almost 3 weeks. Not once did I look for Chinese food. I’ve tried Chinese food in Virginia/DC before and honestly it wasn’t worth it. After checking in at Residence Inn it was already 2:00 pm and we were ravenous. We wanted food fast and plentyContinue reading “Lunch at Peking Restaurant, Williamsburg VA”
Breakfast at Pocahontas Pancakes & Waffle Shop
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But most of the time we’re in a rush and don’t get to relax and enjoy a hearty meal. Since we were on vacation we wanted to have the best breakfast and we accomplished that by going to the most popular breakfast place in Virginia Beach.Continue reading “Breakfast at Pocahontas Pancakes & Waffle Shop”
