My #1 Foodie Pet Peeve
I recently got into an argument with someone about clearing plates at restaurants. Seriously. He claims that at true 5-star dining restaurants, they were trained to take plates as soon as a diner pushes his plate away, and he was commenting about slow service in some restaurants regarding this. I was trying to explain that…

Tea Monkey Tamayaki & Tea Review
Tea Monkey has very good Tamayaki Balls. It is almost impossible to get good Takoyaki/Tamayaki in the Philippines outside of Little Tokyo, and they are usually priced quite steeply. But if you frequent the SM Pasig / Tiendesitas area, you’re in luck! A few weeks ago, I was invited to try Tea Monkey. It was…

Kimukatsu Review – Juicy Pork Croissant Tonkatsu!
Two weeks ago, Shangrila Plaza had a promo called 30th on the 29th, where you got a 30% discount when you dined at participating restaurants. Naturally, we took advantage of the promo!

I was so glad to have been invited to an event featuring Chef Liza Dino-Seguerra. I don’t follow showbiz so I did not know anything about her before meeting her and I had no idea who she was. My impression of her is that she is a very competent chef who knows her way around the…

Yesterday, we planned to have a dessert buffet at Love Desserts (P199 dessert buffet) in Banawe, but were put off because of the general feel of the…
