Go To Brickfire And Have Some Steak
One fine sunny Saturday, Tricia and I craved for some good old Steak. It was a rainy day and we did not want to go that far, or dress up matter of fact. We looked around our neighborhood in Katipunan and remembered Brickfire's just around the corner (quite literally). The wood and brick interior was very apt to the food offering, it was very cozy but not too l…

Yakitori One: Steaks On Stick
I first heard read about Yakitori One on Our Awesome Planet. Mouthwatering steaks and different kinds of meat on a stick? And for such cheap a price (99php)? Who would not want to try that out? 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.…

Best Pralines Found at Sinfully Circles by Makati Shangrila
When one says sinful food, what instantly comes to mind is chocolate. And each time I am reminded of scenes from the movie Chocolat starring the sexy Johnny Depp and beautiful Juliette Binoche. Set in the beautiful era of the late 50s, in a quaint and utterly conservative french town, Vianne (Juliette) opens a chocolatier which becomes the purveyor of passi…

Hot Star Now In Katipunan
When Taiwan's popular shop in Shilin Night Market- which is mainly known for its humongous breaded chicken fillet- opened its blue garage door in the country, Filipinos of course were more than curious to have a bite. And that include my sisters and I. Being that those two beautiful cray-crays have been on a strict no-pork food principle for almost over a year…

Ideal Movie Snack: Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties
When my sisters and I were in our teenage years, one of our main bonding activities would have to be watching movies- horror movies to be exact! And one of our favorite moments throughout the movie-watching experience would have to be choosing the food we would munch inside the theater. For some reason, there's joy in movie snacks (or at least in eating one). …

Restaurant Of Choice (ROC) Cafe | A Favorite Corner
I have been hearing about Restaurant Of Choice (ROC) Cafe for quite some time but it was only after my sister Tricia brought home for me their Ham and Cheese Panini after a meeting of hers, accompanied by her descriptive tales of how cozy and unique the restaurant is, did I feel the need to try it out. Yes... need. My feelings for it are that strong. I am a sucker …

Comfort found in Mann Hann
When my sisters and I were growing up, we would have Sunday mass at St. Paul Parish in the Scout area- our then parish church. Afterwhich, we would eat dinner in one of the many restaurants along Tomas Morato strip. We ate in almost all the restaurants in the area. But out of all, we would frequent Mann Yann the most for its mouthwatering Braised beef in a clay hot p…

Gourmet Filipino Burger at Wham Burgers
When it comes to burger, most people would think about it as a comforting meal and perhaps the safest choice when craving for something fast yet satisfying. However, many will agree that not all burgers are created the same, purveyors can be partial over a tried and tested recipe with American appeal coupled with an awesome classic taste that stands out. Back in 2000…

Luxe Parfait by The White Hat
Pardon the continued talk about the heat. I say it's inevitable. No matter how sun-loving we (supposed to be) are, it can become too consuming at times, is it not? Still, we can make so much out of this summer season if we know how and where to look around to make it more fun, especially for those who are bound to stay in the Metro for the most part of it. E…
