Strolling around SM Aura last Saturday, I was happy to find that Vom Fass has opened on the second floor. It is a Germany-based specialty store selling artisanal oils as well as the finest wines, liqueurs, spirits and vinegars which they produce on their own or get from premium suppliers around the world. Knowing how difficult it is to sometimes source high-quality products in Manila, this place is a gourmet lovers' delight! (..and the prices aren't bad too) I like the whole idea of Vom Fass being a filling station. All I have to do is buy a glass bottle ... Continue Reading...
Trick art museums in the Philippines
I didn't really know there are a growing number of trick eye (or trick art) museums in the Philippines. But it's not hard to understand in a country which is the texting and selfie capital of the world! Trick art is clever, is perfect for photography and I love the imagination behind it. I certainly had fun when I tried it in Seoul (see photo, with a representation of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night') Anyway, I forgot to mention in my last post that the trick eye gallery at Banzai Japanese buffet is the latest to open in Manila. There's a section in the sprawling resto ... Continue Reading...
Banzai eat all you can Japanese buffet at MOA
We don't always eat in buffet restos (maybe just once every three months) but I had to make an exception when the invite came from the newly-opened Banzai restaurant at the SM Mall of Asia By the Bay (note: it's in Bldg. J, beside Buffet 101). With a seating capacity of 500, they pride in calling themselves the biggest authentic Japanese buffet restaurant in town, and they mean it! First impressions: they really stay true to the Japanese theme - from the food, to the interiors, to the decor and the chefs. The Japanese lanterns hanging from the ceiling look like ...

#AvidaFoodHunt : student restaurants near DLSU Taft
I was excited to join the Avida Food Hunt because I've never really explored the eateries within the perimeter of the De La Salle University Campus. For this food tour, we even had our own bus and I, the UST alumnus, was seated beside Melody, an Atenista :) Chef JJ Yulo of Pinoy Eats World, purveyor of Manila's guerilla dinners, was our tour guide for the day. He told us that the Agno Food Court (reportedly owned by tycoon Danding Cojuangco) is one of the La Sallistas' popular pit stops. Nothing special about the place, but they have a well-curated line ... Continue Reading...
Hello Kitty at Nemoto Japanese restaurant at #AvidaFoodHunt
If you've been to Buendia in Pasay near the LRT station, you would have passed by Nemoto Japanese restaurant. This is what I've done several times in the past but I never even bothered to look inside. Apparently, this resto is one of the oldest in Manila...existing for the past 30 years or so. The friendly Japanese owner can even speak Tagalog fluently. And what's really cute is her extensive Hello Kitty collection which adorns certain spots of her resto. The food is cheap and good! Just look at the satisfied customers who are Japanese themselves ... Continue Reading...
