After our calorific trip to Bacolod City, it's now time to hie off to Cebu, the Queen City of the South. There's just so much one can do on a business trip, but I noticed there seems to be no end to all the eating. It starts, of course, with the free buffet breakfast in the hotel coffee shop. Ugh. Aside from being able to speak the local dialect, I am actually excited to be in Cebu. As a food tripper, what am excited about is trying restos and eating places that aren't usually found in Manila. My friends never fail to root for Cebu lechon (and more lechonnn), but ... Continue Reading...
Dessert overload in Bacolod
"Be prepared to gain ten pounds when you're in Bacolod." So said a line in Cebu Pacific's Smile Magazine while listing a guide to the sights and treats in the Masskara City. After spending a short three days in Bacolod City, we couldn't help but agree. I've called it a foodie's paradise before and the impression remains. Bacolod is sleepy compared to Manila all right, but there's no shortage of great culinary places to try. One thing I feasted on were the desserts. The bakers in the city sure know how to make their cakes and pastries. ... Continue Reading...

Like Angels City? I mean those places where sex tourist and 'sexpats' gather. Don't want to end up somewhere like Thailand's Pattaya. " I presume Angeles City has such a rep among the males by virtue of word of mouth and what they read in the forums. I was here this week and the trusty pedicab I rode in drove through the city's (in)famous bar strip in Fields Avenue where some ... Continue Reading...
Korean cooking chronicles: it’s not only kimchi
Can't remember when Korean food overtook Japanese as my favorite Asian cuisine, but I do crave for it now more than the other. There are a lot of Korean restaurants in Manila, but the problem is I always find it hard to tag along my friends there. You see, everybody likes dimsum but not everyone acquires the taste for kimchi. Moreover, the average you can spend for a meal by your lonesome in a Korean resto is P300 - quite expensive for an office worker, tee hee. So I guessed the next best thing was to figure out how to cook their cuisine. The first sensible thing ... Continue Reading...
