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...
In Hong Kong: Gold by #Harlan Goldstein
I can think of a few Hong Kong restos which will leave you breathless by their sheer ambiance and appearance. This one was no exception. Gold is one fine dining restaurant by HK's celebrity chef Harlan Goldstein.

Gold interiors can sometimes appear tacky if handled to the extreme, but not this one. The glittering gold bar (pardon the pun) serves everything from heady cocktails to the finest vintage ...

It was festooned with all sorts of colorful balloons and decorations for the warm welcome to ... Continue Reading...
in Katipunan: Tokyo Bubble Tea + Honeybee Patisserie!
As a Southern belle, I really don't mind going to the far North if it means checking out a place I haven't tried. After the biking trip around UP campus, I cruised around Katipunan Avenue which is a whirl of cozy coffeeshops and restos, some of which can only be found here! (Hmmm, I obviously didn't hang out or study in UP, Ateneo or Miriam - being from the Dominican university in Sampaloc, haha). One traffic-less Sunday along C5 road found me entering this cool-looking building on Katipunan: Tokyo Bubble Tea which also shares the same spot as Honeybee Patisserie. ... Continue Reading...
