Benjarong @Dusit_Manila – Still My Favorite Thai Restaurant
Benjarong is my favorite Thai restaurant, although, to be honest, I don’t dine there as often as I should because it’s a bit out of the way, and the Dusit’s location is kind of tucked away in the corner of Ayala Center that I often forget about it. BENJARONG AT DUSIT THANI MANILA I first discovered…

UNLIMITED King Crab at Shabu Shabu Ichiban
A few weeks ago, we were invited to check out this Shabu-Shabu restaurant in Circuit Makati. I was a bit hesitant because, well, it’s shabu-shabu.
