Manila’s dine-in seafood markets

April 12, 2009 ·

With a mainly no-meat diet being imposed by Filipino Roman Catholics among themselves this past Holy Week, allow me to talk about seafood markets that have mushroomed in the city. When you're craving for cooked seafood in these parts, you can think of three major sources: the Filipino restos where you can feast on local specialties like guinataang kuhol (snail), the Chinese restos which have offerings like crispy shrimps or crab with sotanghon (vermicelli), and the open-air markets where you can pick your seafood fresh and have it cooked in the adjoining restaurant of ...

(Another) laptop robbery, this time in S & R Macapagal

April 9, 2009 ·

I was about to park my car to buy a pair of tires in S & R Macapagal (Aseana Business Park) last night when I chanced upon this angry scene. A group found out too late that their brand new Montero SUV had been broken in, its glass windows smashed. In a relatively well-lit parking lot with security guards. Losses included a brand new Acer laptop and money in six figures. The victim (not in picture) was mainly mourning the loss of his laptop, placed in a knapsack, which contained important work records. We learned he's a vice president of Volvo cars based in ... Continue Reading...

Cosplay, Manila-style

March 30, 2009 ·

Even though we didn't mean to be there, it was fun watching a Cosplay Tour now ongoing at the Cyberzone of selected SM malls in Metro Manila. Pics in this post were taken at the Mall of Asia yesterday. I used to think that cosplay or "costume play" is so NOT my generation, but was surprised to read a Wiki entry that as early as 1975, Caucasian fans dressed the part of their favorite characters in the Rocky Horror Show. Now, cosplay is identified with everything that's manga, anime or J-pop, although it would also be cool to dress as Hermione in Harry Potter. ... Continue Reading...

Breakfast at Emerald Garden

March 25, 2009 ·

Am so happy I found a new breakfast hang-out this week. It started when I started bringing my son to school at 7 a.m., two hours ahead of my scheduled work in the office. My sleepy, thirsty- for-coffee self was unknowingly led to Emerald Garden, one of the oldie but goodie restaurants on Roxas Boulevard, just across the US Embassy. Emerald Garden is A PAIR of restaurants that's a few steps away from each other. The first one offers dimsum, the other one does not. I've eaten here countless times before, because if you're based in Manila and don't know about it, ... Continue Reading...
