The family was billeted at an Ortigas hotel over the weekend. It was nice since we literally just crossed over to go to the mall. Then, we found ourselves at the newly-opened restaurant wing of Robinsons Galleria called the Veranda and debating whether we'll go to Hyphy's or Johnny Rockets. The latter won mainly because of the burger-eating man of the house (and he was paying) :D I haven't been to Johnny Rockets in California or anywhere so it was all quite new to me. This Americana-themed resto prides itself of its dancing servers. Either you love them or hate ... Continue Reading...

Daniele’s Casa Mia Italian Restaurant, Paranaque City
I have been eating in a number of restaurants in our beloved city of Paranaque. I know that this district is far for some people, but for residents like me, it feels nice to be in the center of a culinary wonderland (albeit "underrated" and "undiscovered.") I love the fact that most of the restos have a homey ambiance and offer home cooking. I really prefer to be dining here now than in hip places of Makati or the Fort. We're blessed to be near Daniele's Casa Mia Italian restaurant which is owned by the son of the owner of the famous Bellini's of Cubao. Like his ... Continue Reading...
Vikings, Mall of Asia: best buffet in Manila?
I am sick of it. Everyone's trying to diet. If women, especially, don't have an appetite for anything, I wonder how their life in the bedroom is. LOL. Probably Boring with a capital B! Dieting galpals exasperate me because I can't seem to do it myself. The most success I've had with dieting is eating in moderation, and I know that's not enough. So yes, here's some bad news: another buffet place in town. The Vikings buffet at the bay in Mall of Asia looks like it can give expensive hotel buffets a run for their money. Its edge: spacious, well-designed interiors ... Continue Reading...

General’s lechon: Manila’s best lechon?
Lechon is my favorite indulgence. I don't eat it weekly (for health reasons) but if today was Armageddon, I'd ask for a roasted pork's crackling skin and its flavorful meat mixed with belly fat as my last meal on earth! The hubby isn't as crazy about lechon but I convinced him to order one for our daughter's christening reception at the Manila Yacht Club last year. We chose General's Lechon as the centerpiece of our little christening party. What could be more perfect than Manila's famous sunset viewed from the verandah of the yacht club and delectable lechon ... Continue Reading...
