I've been to Makansutra in Manila Ocean Park several times, and I have to agree with the others that it's quite a letdown. The concept of having several hawker stalls in one cozy environment is nice, but the quality of the food is not something which will make me excited to go back there again. Case in point is the soggy wantan mee I got the last time and the teenie-weenie stick of chicken satay. Same with the Malaysian restaurants in Manila. I still have to find one which will completely impress me, including the ones found in the malls. So I've only been to ... Continue Reading...

Litratong Pinoy 72: hapunan (dinner)
Kapag ako ay nagpupunta sa Bacolod, ang kanilang chicken inasal ang gusto kong pagpiyestahan. I can eat this food consecutively for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Totoo naman kasi that the best place to eat chicken inasal is in Bacolod, at ang mura pa ng chicken barbecue nila dito - only P55 per stick, if am not mistaken, at our favorite restaurant Aida's, in Manokan Country. Kaya naman pagbalik ko ng Manila, Bacolod chicken inasal pa rin ang gusto kong kainin. There's something about eating it - all juicy from the wood fire, then pairing with garlic rice and heaping ...

Pamela Bianca Manalo a favorite in Miss Universe 2009
Photo via missuniverse.com Hopefully she will not be another Thank You Girl :D Miss Philippines (and Bb. Pilipinas-Universe) Pamela Bianca Manalo is a strong contender for the Miss Universe 2009 which will be telecast to a global audience in a few hours from the Bahamas. We watched the preliminary swimsuit competition and I must say the 5'10 stunner, who's a flight attendant of the Philippine Airlines, did well. It has been decades since we've had a Filipina for a Miss Universe (sigh). For Chrissakes, our last winning titleholder, Margie Moran is a grandma ... Continue Reading...
Four new dishes from Max’s Restaurant … and Piolo Pascual
Max's Restaurant is a classic. I just think their fried chicken is the most amazing thing in the world. Fried chicken with the falling-off-to-the-bone goodness of roast chicken, if you know what I mean. We locals take it for granted, but it is something that should be tasted when you're in the Philippines for the first time. (note: like Jollibee, they do have overseas branches. In California and Hawaii). It was absolutely a hit when my American mother-in-law visited this resto during her maiden visit to RP. Simple joys! :D And because Max's is one of my family's ...
