Dessert & Fruits at Central World Mall

We deserved good dessert after our disappointing lunch at Phan-Khom Contemporary Thai Cuisine. We walked to the other side of the mall and saw several restaurants we could have eaten at instead. There were even several eat-all-you-can restaurants that offered international food or steaks or Japanese food. All were priced quite reasonably too. There wereContinue reading “Dessert & Fruits at Central World Mall”

Gong Cha Manila – Mall of Asia

Finally my favorite milk tea which I always drink in Hong Kong is finally here in Manila! Gong Cha opens it’s first branch in the 1st floor of the Mall of Asia right next to Time Zone and near the bowling center. This is the reason why Gong Cha’s milk tea tastes better than theContinue reading “Gong Cha Manila – Mall of Asia”

The Best Macarons in Manila

This picture looks nice and colorful but the macarons were awful. They were hard and dry. I had them in a restaurant in a 5 star hotel in Hong Kong. Yesterday I featured Bar Dolci’s macarons. As I said before I’m not a big fan of macarons but I’ve eaten my share of them inContinue reading “The Best Macarons in Manila”

My 3 young cousins, the J brothers,  invited me to dinner at Azuthai and I treated them to dessert at Bar Dolci.They bought a coupon from Deal Grocer worth P2,000 for a complete Thai dinner for 4 at Azuthai.

Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt

The only good thing about my birthday dinner at Cantinetta last September was dessert after at Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt. Before I even tried Golden Spoon I already heard from some friends that it didn’t taste like yogurt, it wasn’t tart, etc. When I tried it I loved it! For me it was like eatingContinue reading “Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt”

Brunch at Birch and Barley

I chose the restaurant where we ate for Sunday brunch. I was quite nervous since none of my companions have tried this restaurant and they work in DC! A small article in a DC magazine caught my eye. It mentioned Birch and Barley’s terrific  brunch menu. Based on that and few online reviews I convincedContinue reading “Brunch at Birch and Barley”

Ay-Sheng Flour-Rice Noodle 阿升麵線

When I went to Crumbs in Mongkok I noticed a stall right next to it that sold all sorts of Taiwanese food. It reminded me of my recent trip to Taipei so I checked it out. They sold popular Taiwanese snacks like fried chicken cutlets, minced pork on rice and cuttlefish balls. Their most popularContinue reading “Ay-Sheng Flour-Rice Noodle 阿升麵線”

Crumbs Scones and Frozen Yogurt

Last October I was looking at openrice.com trying to find new places in Hong Kong to try when I saw Crumbs on the top ten list of most searched restaurants. Since I loved scones I went to buy some the next day. I went to their branch in Mongkok since that was the most convenientContinue reading “Crumbs Scones and Frozen Yogurt”
