Last May our group of friends were treated by Janet in celebration of her birthday. She chose C’ Italian Dining all the way in Angeles City in Pampanga, a province 1 1/2 hours from Manila (that’s without traffic). We were all excited since none of us have been there although we’ve heard lots of goodContinue reading “Lunch at C’ Italian Dining”

Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurant Revisited
The last time I went to Golden Bay was almost a year ago on it’s opening day. I commented that the service was horribly slow due to first day glitches which was to be expected. The food wasn’t that great either. I was surprised by the number of comments that post garnered. Funny but aContinue reading “Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurant Revisited”
My last meals in Taipei
My last meals in Taipei were in the fast food sections of malls. I didn’t mind since the offerings in Taipei’s malls are awesome and so different from any mall in the world.

Lunch at the original Din Tai Fung branch in Taipei
Can you believe we ate at Din Tai Fung only a few hours after eating at World Soybean Magnate? We were trying to cram as many things we could try in a day.

Pineapple Cake from Chiate Bakery
One of the things on my shopping list for Taipei was pineapple cakes from Chiate Bakery. I tried my first pineapple cake when I was a child visiting Taipei.

Shanghai Dumpling at Taipei 101
With all those options in Taipei 101’s fast food we unanimously chose to eat lunch at Shanhai Dumpling. It was one of the few small restaurants with their own seating at the huge food court. We were curious to know if the soupy Shanghai dumplings or xiao long bao were good. The dumplings were justContinue reading “Shanghai Dumpling at Taipei 101”
Lunch at Yakiniku Senri
We celebrated Andrew’s birthday at Yakiniku Senri, a Japanese/Korean restaurant specializing in grilled meats. I’ve featured several yakiniku restaurants in Manila and Hong Kong and Yakiniku Senri is my favorite. It had the best tasting beef and all the other dishes were excellent too. The prices were also reasonable specially when compared to the onesContinue reading “Lunch at Yakiniku Senri”
