Guevarra’s Lunch Buffet Review – Very Good for only P399!
I had always passed by Guevarra’s on my way to Greenhills. The charming house turned into a restaurant (I would always crane my neck to get a view inside the gate as our car passed by) has always piqued my curiosity, and the cars parked outside showing that parking was overflowing made the restaurant even more intriguing.…

House of Wagyu Steak CashCashPinoy Promo Review
Last August 2014, House of Wagyu had a CashCashPinoy promo, offering their Wagyu steak for only P960! I had tried House of Wagyu before – once at full price, and another time at 40% OFF using the Metrobank Platinum Card promo. Both times, the meal cost at least many thousands of pesos, averaging about P3,000…

Osaka Ohsho – Gyoza Restaurant Review
I had been meaning to try Osaka Ohsho for months, but it was only last weekend that we finally, finally, had an early dinner at Osaka Ohsho. Oh, boy, was it worth the wait! But funnily enough, for me the best thing I had there was the omelet! It was the fluffiest, softest heaven of…

Inexpensive Way to Treat a Cold
I’ve been sick with a cold for the past week. I got rained on and didn’t change out of my wet clothes… so, here we are. Feeling a cold coming on, the next day, I took some Berocca. It’s the orange tablet that you dunk in a glass of water and drink. It’s what I…

Revisiting Eng Ho Bakeshop
When I was a kid, one of our favorite bakeshops was Eng Ho along T. Alonzo St. in Binondo. My grandmother’s favorite was the Chiffon Cake. We kids loved the Cream Puffs. Eng Ho is also known for their Almond Cakes. We haven’t bought any Eng Ho goodies for a long, long time, and it…

Kurobuta Tonkatsu at Yabu
The Kurobuta was superb! DB and I had dinner at Yabu Megamall last week. I had read about this place serving Kurobuta pork. If you didn’t know, Kurobuta is to pork what Wagyu is to beef. I simply had to try it. Since the specialty of the house is their Kurobuta, that was what I…

Kitchen Boss’s Cheesecake – Simply Out of This World Delicious!
I had some cream cheese bought at Buy 1 Take 1 taking up space in the fridge for some time, and the other night, I chanced upon a video of Buddy Valastro making cheesecake. He made it seem so easy! So since I was running out of ideas about what to do with my cream cheese,…

Deep Fried Oyster Mushrooms
I got these mushrooms for only P30 a pack (the usual rectangular, half-bond-sized flat styro wrapped with cling film) from the Agora Public Market in San Juan. The pictures don’t show all the mushrooms because I already nibbled on some. I need to taste them, of course! I remember going to a Food Expo at…

Tokyo Bubble Tea Near Burgos Circle
Lately, because of DB’s schedule, we found ourselves looking for dinner at 10 or 11pm. Do you have any idea how hard it is to look for somewhere decent to eat at 11pm? One time we found ourselves at Burgos Circle, and thank God, Tokyo Bubble Tea was still open! Their breads were also on…

Premium Dunkin Donuts!
When someone says “Dunkin Donuts”, more than likely you will have visions of the ubiquitous little Dunkin Donut stall under LRT stations selling crappy donuts. While walking around McKinley Hill one afternoon a few months ago, I noticed that my companion was a bit tired and decided to get some rest at Dunkin Donuts at…

Going Bananas!
My dad brought home a bunch of bananas the other day. He was in the Binondo area and he told me that he was able to get those good-looking bananas for only P35 for the whole bunch! And no, these did not seem like the “for local consumption” bananas. They looked like “export quality” bananas…

A Valentine Macaron
I watch Gossip Girl. And I ship Chuck and Blair. So after several episodes of watching Blair pine for Laduree’s macarons, I finally gave in and tried to find the next best thing here in Manila. Ladureeis a cafe in Paris famous for their pastries, and most notably their macarons. I have also seen this…
