Last night, I took the family to dinner at Racks to try their latest rib offering – the Honey Dijon Babys! I heard that the Honey Dijon Babys will only be available for a limited time (during this Christmas season only, until Jan. 8, 2019), so I rounded up the parents and off we went…

I have not explored the area of McKinley West. Sure, I’ve always passed through it – it’s the only way traffic flows heading south if you’re in that part of Lawton Avenue across from Upper McKinley Hill. So when the opportunity came up to have brunch there, I happily went to check out Perry’s and…

The other day, I attended the media launch of the fifth Fat Fook branch. This latest branch is in BGC, on the ground floor of the Globe Tower, right on 32nd street, somewhere across the street from S&R and MC Home Depot. FAT FOOK TAIWANESE KITCHEN I have heard good things about Fat Fook from…

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to lunch at the newly opened Paradise Dynasty branch at SM Aura the other day. The highlight of the meal was of course, the Chili Crab Xiao Long Bao, which I can’t get enough of! I’ve already blogged a lot about Paradise Dynasty here and here and…

Jin Joo is not a new discovery, however, their latest offer is making it my absolute FAVORITE place to get my unli Korean barbecue fix! I tried their unli Samgyupsal before, and I wasn’t really happy with the very limited choice of only one type of meat – pork samgyupsal. But a few weeks ago,…

I had heard about very popular Romantic Baboy before, but since the branches were all so far away (or still “Opening Soon”), it wasn’t until last Saturday night that I was able to convince J to take me there 🙂 The Romantic Baboy branch we went to was in Eastwood. It is not actually inside…

Sabor Bar de Vinos is a new casual wine and tapas bar at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center. I had dinner there with some blogger friends and we had such a great time talking, enjoying the tasty tapas, and drinking sangrias that we didn’t notice how late it had gotten! Sabor is located at the…

Paradise Dynasty is known for their flavorful and colorful Xiao Long Baos and spicy Szechuan dishes, some of which I reviewed here. While the colorful xiao long baos and the charcoal custard lava bun are my favorite orders at Paradise Dynasty, there are some new dishes to explore. NEW CHEF’S RECOMMENDATIONS AT PARADISE DYNASTY They…

My friend C messaged me today and asked if I would be home because she wanted to send me a cake. I was thinking, hmm… chocolate cake? 🙂 I met C while she was active in the foodie circuit. We bonded over having Bicolano roots, but all I knew was that her family was in…

The other weekend, we were invited into the home of Tinee de Guzman for dinner. We were served two variants of his famous cochinillo, and a Spanish feast including Rabo de Toro, Fabada, and Fideua. Dinner was superb! The cochinillo is very popular with his upscale customers, and I can understand why. Their consistent orders…
