No matter how Pinoys say they love adobo and tapsilog, this is still a burger-eating country (okay, bur-jer, if you must.) How else do you think Jollibee made its billions? Hamburger places have mushroomed all over, ranging from the buy one, take one 20 pesos variety to the upscale ones made of Wagyu. Like the Americans, we simply love our beef - the more tender and juicy, the better. Manila-based carnivores never fail to notice the arrival of new burger destinations in town. And this is the buzz about Stackers Burger Cafe on the Eastwood City Walk, just across Il ... Continue Reading...
The Bread Bag Pandesal Bar
What could be more Filipino than pandesal? One good part of living in the Philippines is being able to partake of piping hot pandesal during breakfast, or merienda. There is nothing like the taste of this rounded bread full of crumbs, about the size of a fist, which is versatile enough to be eaten with a lot of fillings, with coffee or with native hot chocolate. Pandesal has social relevance too. Observers are fond of equating the size and price of the pandesal with the state of the economy. Indeed, it has upped its value from one peso each to about two pesos ... Continue Reading...
Lunch box love
With the word "recession" dominating the news, it seems criminal spending $40 on a hotel buffet or $20 on a lunch out with friends. I still have those days when I'd happily swipe the husband's debit card, but I'd rather be Little Miss Self-Control.:P Something happened in the past few months, and it's the fact that I've joined the legions who bring their lunch boxes to work. I found out that this is the greatest money-saver ever, plus you're spared the trouble of lining up in the crowded cafeteria. It's an added bonus if you have a microwave oven in the office ...

Pretty kiddie meals
As a mother of three kids, am no stranger to the culinary staple that is the Kiddie Meal. In fact, one of my criteria in eating out with the young 'uns is that it should be a kid-friendly restaurant. Good ol' McDonald's and Jollibee come to mind. Fine dining slash family restos have their offerings as well, complete with crayons, drawing paper, toys and the like. Let us list a few of them that offer tempting treats. Credits to those who makethe effort to present the food well: Do you agree with me when I say McDonald's beats Jollibee in the kiddie meal game? I ... Continue Reading...
Chi’s Brick Oven Kitchen …. pizza goodness!
We've settled in the South (Paranaque area) for barely a year, and it's only now that am discovering culinary destinations in the neighborhood, and beyond. So far, it looks exciting. Southern joints are not as written about as their counterparts in the North and center of Manila but I tell you, they're equally good. Because of the distance, the scene here is not as crowded with people and there's always the 'homey' feel of the places involved. One such joint is Chi's Brick Oven Kitchen, a nondescript resto along the length of Aguirre Avenue, inside BF Homes ... Continue Reading...
