Highly Recommended: A Cai Milkfish Belly in Ximending

We arrived quite late via Airasia so after checking in at our hotel in Ximending, we naturally scourged for food. Fortunately, A Cai Milkfish Belly (阿財虱目魚肚) is still open from 10:00pm to 4:30am, so it was our perfect first stop destination for our Easter weekend holiday. Here’s the kid at the airport. “Welcome to Taipei!” […]

Highly Recommended: Hapag MNL, A Celebration of Filipino Tastes in a Pretty and Organic Package

For our post-Valentine’s Day date, hubby and I tried out a new private dining restaurant in Katipunan. To be honest, I’ve been trying to het a reservation at Toyo Eatery but their times are always inconvenient, so it was very lucky for us to see Hapag MNL open. The Hapag MNL team was very responsive […]

Overrated and Expensive: Yum Cha Hong Kong

When asked what was a must-eat place in Hong Kong, many Filipinos recommended Yum Cha. Which is why we ventured to Yum Cha Tsim Sha Tsui. It’s merely just a 5 minute walk away from Exit A2 in TST MRT station. The entire building is cute down from the interiors to the elevator. Yum Cha […]

Not as Recommended: Fireplace @ New World Manila Bay Hotel

I booked The Fireplace at the New World Manila Bay Hotel for my birthday dinner. I have super fond memories of the steak when we ate there years ago, and it was only because of the distance and traffic that we could not really make a repeat visit. For the longest time, I held on […]

Recommended Restaurant Review: Savage MNL, BGC Taguig

For brother’s birthday, we drove all the way to BGC Taguig for a nice dinner at Savage MNL. Savage MNL is located in the relatovely isolated Arya Residences in BGC Taguig. With only a Starbucks, a Japanese restaurant and Lemuria for neighbors, you wonder how it still keeps profitable. We love the place though. Located […]

Restaurant Review: L’Entrecote at Burgos Circle

Today is Mother’s Day! So in lieu of my second year of motherhood, my husband agreed to take me for a nice lunch at BGC. We ate at L’Entrecote in BGC, a restaurant I’ve been wanting to try months ago. And what better time to try a slightly more expensive restaurant that’s out of the […]

Restaurant Review: Yoogane – Cheesy Korean Goodness!

It’s a bit of a pity regarding Yoogane, the Korean cook-yourself restaurant at Il Terrazo Mall in Tomas Morato. For one, compared to its more crowded Banapple counterpart at the second floor, Yoogane was not full. This is a pity considering that the restaurant was both spacious and cheerful. The tables were large and each […]
