When All Else Fail, Choose Zarks
Burger and Beer. Burger and Soda. Burger and Ice Cream Shake. Isn't those the perfect "go to" food this Summer season? My last post was about a trip to a burger place (Barneys to be exact) and now my stomach and the heat dragged me to yet another one. Zark's Burger is definitely an old kid on the block, and an established brand at that. Ther…

A Quick Snack At Barneys Burger
W hen dining out with company, one of the biggest problems would be differing preferences. While it is undeniably more fun to eat good food amid good people, the decision making part could be crucial. That problem can be solved by 3 food and 3 food only: Chicken, Pizza, and Burger.

Let's Talk About In The Heights
It was a February 4 night when my sister and I walked the green paths of Ateneo de Manila University- the same paths that my father used to walk on. He had many stories from that place, stories that filled up half his life with joy. I imagine him there and each of these stories came to life. The breeze was cold that night, and the air fresh. Outside, the cars are sl…

Located along the Food area on the 4th floor of SM Aura in Taguig, my sisters and I marched to the place with empty stomachs and high expectations. Yakitori One Meal 165.…

2015 Resolution
I t has been 24 days since the start of year 2015 . January's time is almost up. Most of us are not big on resolutions. As a kid growing up, you make an annual check list only to find 2 resolutions checked off by the end of the year, and that is out of 50. Motivation diminishes as years pass by. I gave up on making one years ago. To hell with New Year's Re…

Chubbies Qcina Cafe: Favorite Sisig Found
L ilac street in Marikina is tantamount to Quezon City's Maginhawa street, Paranaque's Aguirre street, and Pasig's kapitolyo. I have always heard people from Marikina take pride of their food strip and they are right to do so as they offer an array of interesting quaint establishments that offer good comfort food. It was the talked about Barney's …
