My female buddies and I have found the perfect place to chill in Burgos Circle: it's at the al fresco area of L'Entrecote Corner Bistro. Watching people pass by is my cheap thrill: I get to notice everyone's sense of fashion, try to guess what they do for a living, what they're thinking. And since this is Bonifacio Global City, you get to see a lot of celebrities too. We were waiting for our dinner at L'Entrecote when Brapanese model Hideo Muraoka zoomed by, and our jaws almost dropped. If you know Hideo, I think he's got more sex appeal than boy-next-door ...

Eating light this Lenten season at Sentro 1771
Sentro 1771 is one restaurant in the metro I'd highly recommend for those in search of good Filipino food. If I had relatives returning from abroad, they'd surely find comfort in Sentro's most famous dish, the corned beef sinigang..or the kare-kare, pochero, adobo, boneless crispy pata and the all-day breakfast treats I wrote about before. Sentro 1771's menu is quite long and I've only discovered recently that for 'alternative eaters' (the vegetarians and pescetarians), they have one of the most extensive selection of dishes on offer too. Since Holy Week also means ... Continue Reading...
Coco Hut Fried Chicken & Fish by Army Navy
When we were invited recently by Army Navy to sample new items in their menu, Pearl - the bubbly head for marketing - told us about their new restaurant called Coco Hut. This is supposed to be the healthier chain of the Army Navy group since there's a predominance of fish & vegetables on the menu. My interest was so piqued that I decided to check it out on my own this weekend. Coco Hut only has three branches at the moment (Alabang, Ortigas & UP Town Center) but five more are going to open this year. The ambiance at their Commercenter outlet was so welcoming. When ...

Army Navy Burger + Burrito: new dishes to try
We were in Army Navy BF Homes this Chinese New Year holiday and my five-year old says: "I want pancakes mommyyyy!" Clueless Me replies: "There are no pancakes here. Let's transfer to..." And Lucia retorts: "There are pancakes here. Just look at the board!" (points to menu) And this is how she got her classic pancakes (P80) at 6pm while the rest of us were having dinner :) My impression of Army Navy Burger + Burrito was that it has always been a Mexican place, albeit proudly Made in the Philippines. The whole military concept is just superb. What's even ... Continue Reading...
Healthy black & brown rice recipes
Something changed in my life last year: I started eating brown rice instead of white. I had a hard time getting used to it at first but I was trying to lose weight and of course, most experts say it's the healthier alternative. Brown rice is reputed to contain more fiber and other essential nutrients. Now that I'm accustomed to brown grains, I've lost all taste for white rice except when am eating in a Chinese restaurant because yang chow goodness is something I can't resist. Haha. When I say brown rice, I also mean the red rice available in the market.There are ... Continue Reading...
