We’re fans of Sizzling Pepper Steak but sometimes, we get tired of their sizzling menu so we gave it’s sister restaurant a try, Teriyaki Boy. I salute their management in dividing the area of the restaurants into two places with distinctive style. In the North Edsa branch, I love the circular sofas inside Teriyaki Boy, [...]

Since January, the concessionaire who sells lunch and merienda in our office building ended their contract. There’s a new seller but we don’t like the taste and just by the looks of all their cooked meals, they’re all rather unappealing. So aside from the good ol’ McDonalds, KFC and the foodcourt at ELJ Building, we [...]

We celebrated Mother’s Day at Sofitel’s Spiral Buffet. We waited for this special occasion to use my Sofitel voucher I got from CashCashPinoy last year. So armed with an empty stomach, we headed to Sofitel at exactly lunch time. Sofitel pool area

We’ve been to Conti’s Trinoma branch many times but only for take-out of their famous Mango Bravo and their empanadas and cheese puffs.The first time we dined at Conti’s, we had their bestseller, Baked Salmon, and Chicken ala Kiev. This time, I tried their pasta and Jeff tried one of the pork dishes. Salmone Pomodoro [...]

But after trying out their food at this event, I will surely visit Romulo Cafe one of these days. [...]

For HK travelers on a budget and wondering where you can find affordable restaurants, then look for Yoshinoya. They also have KFC and McDonald’s in HK but they don’t serve rice. And Pinoys eat rice wherever we go, right? Yoshinoya also opens early, around 7 or 8 am so it’s perfect for breakfast before you [...]

I’ve read from several blog posts about this new Michelin starred dimsum restaurant in Mongkok, Tim Ho Wan. This made Tim Ho Wan included in our lists of “to-do” things, Lin Heung (which is also a Michelin starred restaurant) is also included in the list but Tim Ho Wan is closer to TST. Coming from [...]

Holler from HK! It’s 13 degrees Celsius outside, we weren’t able to anticipate that it will be this cold. Brrrr… It’s our third day and boy, my legs hurt! One highlight of this trip is we’re able to find Tim Ho Wan, the Michelin starred hole-in-the-wall dimsum place in Mongkok. Hopefully, we can also eat [...]

It’s a pre-Valentine’s weekend, and like I said before, I’m not a fan of V-day. But Jeff asked me to spend the weekend atop the mountain (Mt. Batulao) and in the cool breezy Tagaytay. It’s been more than a year since my last climb, why not? And so we had a day hike at Mt. [...]
