Every trip should have a few things worth remembering. Seeing an unforgettable sight perhaps, or tasting food that simply tickled one's tastebuds. During my March sojourn to Hong Kong, I was glad to experience all those during my stay at The Excelsior. If ever you find yourself in Causeway Bay, make sure you go up the Roof Terrace of the hotel on the 34th floor. A glass of martini on the rooftop on a Saturday night: HKD110. Enjoying the view and feeling the fun vibe of the city: priceless :) On the other hand, daytime on a Friday found me relishing a savory ... Continue Reading...
How to make popsicles : perfect for summer!
Where I am now in Manila: I feel like am in a giant oven with this heat! I've made a mental note to be in Alaska or the Himalayas at this same time next year. Suddenly, am craving for the chilling cold instead of seemingly being burned alive in the sun when I go out these days. I really wish Summer 2013 isn't this cruel to the skin, eyes & everything else :( One great tip for coping: hydrate! hydrate! Drink tons of water if you can, or take refuge in something cool like ice cream..... and popsicles! Am glad Tess of The Maya Kitchen sent me this recipe for ... Continue Reading...
Mad for Garlic @ BGC
Can you really be mad for garlic? I am. As a true-blooded Filipino, I love garlic rice and I cannot eat adobo without garlic. Every dish I cook that needs sauteing simply has to have it .. oodles of bawang... the more, the better! But yes, there's a new restaurant in town that's really called Mad for Garlic (from the same company that brought IHOP, Gyu Kaku and CPK to Manila.) Its proponents describe MFG as Korean mixed with Italian. Quite an unlikely marriage I know, but judging from our taste test recently, it's worth trying. Because it's a foreign ...

Brotzeit Philippines is 10th in the world
When I posted a photo in Facebook of the mouthwatering sausage I ate at the first Philippine branch of Brotzeit in Shang-ri La Mall, a friend asked "there is now Brotzeit in Manila??" I was amused considering that I never encountered this beer bar and restaurant in my travels throughout Asia. Not in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China and Thailand where it has also set up shop. But apparently, if you're more well-exposed than me to the bar scene "globally", then you will be familiar with Brotzeit. I rest my case. Prost! :) In a nutshell, here's what ... Continue Reading...
