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…

Beauty and the Beast 2012, Season 2 Episode 9
I’ve been watching this series since it started. It didn’t really catch my attention all that much. There was something missing. I don’t know. I think it was because there was no chemistry between the two leads and also because The Beast is a wuss. By that, I mean, he is indecisive and waffles between…

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…

It has been awhile since I had lunch with my friend J, and today we decided to try Cafe Capreal, located at Ma. Clara cor. Banawe Sts. in Quezon City since it is nearer where J works. It is a casual cafe with parking out front, with the vibe of a neighborhood coffee hangout and…

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…

Christmas is less than two weeks away, and with Christmas comes gift-giving and gift-receiving! But don’t you just hate it when people give you crap? Yes, yes, it’s the thought that counts. But what are you going to do with all the useless stuff people give you? As the saying goes, do unto others what…

Burgos Circle Dinner and Dessert — NOT a Barat Moment
Okay, this is not a Barat moment. It’s been a while since we’ve been to Burgos Circle and I missed it. Okay, there are not a lot of restaurants with the ambience that we wanted. Most of the food places there are bar-type restaurants with funky multi-colored, or scarce, lighting. We like dinners where we…

Late Lunch at Manila Hotel for Only P400+!
Had a late lunch/merienda with a dear friend to catch up. Since I hadn’t had lunch, I ordered the Beefsteak Tagalog and my friend got the Bibingka and a Latte. Good thing I had my Manila Hotel Prestige Card! The meal was on me, total bill only amounted to a bit over P400! The food…
