Nomama – One Peso Ramen Until March 31
I was very sad to hear that Nomama is closing. We had only dined there once, when Capitol Commons was just barely finished last year. I remember that the ramen was actually pretty good. Service was also very good. We were the only customers seated on the second floor and it was a very good…

Habib Persian Cuisine – Our New Answer to Midnight Hunger
We are always on the lookout for good places to eat in the wee hours of the morning. It’s just a by-product of a past in the call center industry that still being awake at 4AM means nothing anymore. Habib Persian Cuisine was a place that J was always curious about, passing by it often when…

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ Restaurant Review
Last Saturday, J and I went to see Kingsman: The Secret Service at Shangri-la. It’s the new Colin Firth movie that was buzzed about being good. At first, I was skeptical about the movie.

Why You Should Try S&R’s New Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
Our family’s default pizza take-outs is S&R Pizza. We like S&R Pizzas because they are “sulit!” At only P549 – P599 per gigantic 18-inch pizza, it’s less expensive than other pizzas, and they don’t scrimp on the toppings! Do you even wonder why there are always long lines for the S&R pizza at their stores?…

Super Easy Turmeric Rice – Easy Way to Get Your Anti-oxidants!
I have been reading a lot about turmeric lately. Not on purpose. But I sometimes stumble upon articles touting its health benefits. And I made bringhe (sort of like a paella, but using turmeric instead of saffron) several times and I really liked the turmeric! I always thought turmeric was some exotic spice that is…

We’re Going to Stop Using Canola Oil
We were cruising the supermarkets last weekend when I saw that Canola oil was on sale. I’ve heard mixed things about canola oil – some say it’s healthy and good for you, some say it’s bad for you. If you read my blog, it’s obvious that I’m not a health nut and I’m not overly…
