When we were in Virginia Beach we relied heavily on Yelp on our iPhone to look for places to eat at. Pelons Baja Grill had very good reviews specially with their famous fish tacos. So that’s where we ate for our first dinner. Pelons was a very short walk from our hotel. We started withContinue reading “Dinner at Pelons Baja Grill”

Lunch at Willie’s Smoked Carolina BBQ
Summer in the USA means road trip! It was the kids’ first weekend summer break and we went to Virginia Beach for the weekend. After a couple of hours on the road we started to look for a place to eat lunch. We passed the usual McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut and the usual fastContinue reading “Lunch at Willie’s Smoked Carolina BBQ”
Dinner at The Counter – Custom Built Burgers
Another burger! Yes, all for my desire to find the best burger. I was quite excited to try The Counter and their customized burgers. I’ve been studying their menu even when I was still in Manila. It was hard trying to decide what to put on my burger. The Counter has most of it’s branchesContinue reading “Dinner at The Counter – Custom Built Burgers”
Lunch at Chutzpah Deli
Before going on a trip I usually do some research on places to eat and shop. I found a list from Ray Foley’s book “1,001 Sandwiches You Must Eat Before You Die” which listed the places in Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. One of the restaurants on the list, Chutzpah Deli, happened to beContinue reading “Lunch at Chutzpah Deli”
Dinner at Jody Maroni’s Sausage Sandwiches
It was my last day in San Francisco. It was a short trip that lasted 3 nights and 3 days. In a span of 3 short days I was able to try a wide variety of food thanks to Ariel and Jeanne who planned all of my meals to the last detail. Despite the brevityContinue reading “Dinner at Jody Maroni’s Sausage Sandwiches”
Lunch at Limon Peruvian Rotisserie
People often ask me, “How do you remember everything you ate?” That’s a very legitimate question since it may be a month or two before I write about a restaurant I ate in. By that time I have already eaten in several restaurants in between. That was the case in my recent US trip. IContinue reading “Lunch at Limon Peruvian Rotisserie”
Dinner at Marlowe
I believe American cuisine has a bad rap. When you mention American food one immediately thinks of burgers and pizza. On this trip I learned that this is far from the truth. Yes, burgers seem to be the favorite American food and it’s everywhere. From the ubiquitous fast food joint to restaurant chains even highContinue reading “Dinner at Marlowe”
Lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao
I will interrupt my US restaurants tour with a review of our lunch yesterday. Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is currently the hottest restaurant in Manila as evident with the long lines that form from the time they open until they closes. I didn’t really want to eat there yet since it justContinue reading “Lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao”
Lunch at Gott’s Roadside
I was having so much fun walking around the farmers market taking pictures and trying samples of fruit, nuts and cheese that I didn’t realize that 3 hours had passed and it was time to meet some of my high school friends, who were based in the bay area, for lunch. There were so manyContinue reading “Lunch at Gott’s Roadside”
Breakfast at Dottie’s True Blue Cafe
Breakfast is my favorite meal, well after dessert. My perfect breakfast is a typical Filipino breakfast of a cup of garlic fried rice, tuyo (dried fish) or beef tapa and fried egg with the yolk barely set. I can eat this any time of the day. The only problem is I seldom wake up earlyContinue reading “Breakfast at Dottie’s True Blue Cafe”
