If there's an ongoing whirlwind romance between President Aquino and Grace Lee and their three to five hour conversations are indeed true, I am alarmed. What state secrets are possibly being spilled? Do you imagine the repercussions that having a Korean First Lady will bring? Here's some I can think of: 1. Kimchi will replace atsara as the national side dish 2. Bonchon will become the No. 1 fastfood in the Philippines 3. The Spratlys will be annexed to Jeju island 4. Mr. Kim's Korean Grocery will beat Ministop and 7-11 5. More Koreans will "invade" the ...

Valentine’s & beyond at the Cheese Steak Shop
Mr. & Mrs. Z are a hopelessly unromantic bunch. V Day gives me the creeps and I certainly don't go ga-ga for flowers and chocolates on this day or ever!

Good thing this promo is ongoing until the end of February so you can fulfill your cravings for the meaty goodness of these sinful cheese steaks. The package includes one 10-inch King of Philly Sandwich ... Continue Reading...

It's been more than 60 years and there is now a Casa Marcos ran by the second generation of owners at ... Continue Reading...
F Restaurant at F1 Hotel in the Fort
There's no doubt that Bonifacio Global City will be the venue of prime hotel addresses in the future with a Shang-Ri La and a Grand Hyatt opening in a few years. In the meantime, I was happy enough to set foot at F1 Hotel on 32nd street which is under the Best Western Premier chain of hotels around the world. It is also the first hotel to be built in the Fort. F1 Hotel has an all-day dining restaurant on the fifth floor simply called F.Upon entering, you're greeted by these avant garde (almost Cobonpuesque?) chairs.

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro opening soon in the Philippines
P.F. Chang's, a popular Chinese restaurant which originated in the U.S., opens its first branch at the Alabang Town Center on January 19. Guess what, I haven't eaten in this restaurant but the fact that they have 200 branches scattered across the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and even the Middle East makes this place a must-try. The press release says popular dishes at P.F. Chang's menu include the signature appetizer Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps; all-time favourite Mongolian Beef made from US Angus beef caramelized in the wok with garlic and scallions; and ...
