Lechon is my favorite indulgence. I don't eat it weekly (for health reasons) but if today was Armageddon, I'd ask for a roasted pork's crackling skin and its flavorful meat mixed with belly fat as my last meal on earth! The hubby isn't as crazy about lechon but I convinced him to order one for our daughter's christening reception at the Manila Yacht Club last year. We chose General's Lechon as the centerpiece of our little christening party. What could be more perfect than Manila's famous sunset viewed from the verandah of the yacht club and delectable lechon ... Continue Reading...
Yummy Eats at the Fort: all the good things!
I was excited to attend the YUMMY Eats food fair at The Fort over the weekend, mostly because I knew the vendors would be among the best this city has to offer. Glad to say I wasn't disappointed. Thumbs up to the zoning of the event venue, the NBC Tent, on the big day because it wasn't crowded and stifling. The Yummy Magazine team carefully picked the 31 food retailers who would sell their products that day, with a little bit of everything to sample from each category - from drinks to cakes to the ultimate tummy fillers like lechon. I ended up buying the ... Continue Reading...
Sebastian’s champorado & tibok tibok ice cream: Must. Eat. NAO!

I visit their Cold Comfort outlet at the Mall of Asia once every four months (maybe) but always there are exciting new flavors to discover. Like Fro-Ya (or Frozen Yakult), Frozen Taho, Butter Pecan, Chocoholics Anonymous and so on. Last week I went crazy over their blue cheese ice cream (P125 for a scoop) drizzled with Palawan honey. One good thing with Sebastian's ice cream, when they say blue cheese, it's really blue cheese. I nibbled on the ... Continue Reading...

Max’s coffee table book launched
We ate in Max's SM Sucat for Easter. Nothing fancy. But dining at Max's has a nomnom factor that never fails. Long before the rise of today's bonchons, twice-fried, gourmet international fried chickens, there was Max's - a proudly Filipino brand with a crunch and deliciousness to every bite Their recently-launched coffee table book should be in a foodie's collection, especially for loyalists of the brand. It is initially sold at Max's Scout Tuason brand for P2,500 - quite pricey, but hey, it's hardbound and with lots of glossy pictures inside. Authored by ... Continue Reading...
