Cafe Juanita: Pinoy dishes at a Sunday lunch buffet

ShareTweet It is not often that my family eats out. Last Sunday was one of those rare days that our daughter and her boyfriend went along with us after we checked out her almost finished condominium unit. Cafe Juanita is quite near our house and we wanted to eat there for the longest time. The outside facade looked interesting. It was only 11:00 AM but it seems the parking was already full. The entrance...

Geisha Modern Japanese Cuisine at the Bonifacio High Street Central

ShareTweet Rock Shrimp Tempura salad It was the last night of the Corona Impeachment trial while the senators go on their vacation. Tired and hungry, I knew I shouldn’t pass up the chance to visit the launch of Geisha at the Fort. The name in itself hints of Japanese cuisine. Skewered Pork I was not disappointed. Geisha takes modern Japanese cuisine to a new high with amazing culinary creations,...

Cajun Red Rock by Chef Tony at SM Megamall

ShareTweet I can say this is our belated Valentine celebration even though my husband and I don’t really celebrate it. Besides, it is rare that we eat in restaurants on a Sunday. We thought we’d try something new, the Cajun Red Rock at SM Megamall Atrium. My family enjoy New Orleans cuisine especially since one of my relatives who works in Louisiana brought us some jambalaya mix. We already...

Yummy Quezo de Bola Cheesecake from Indulgence by Irene

ShareTweet I love Cheesecake. I prepare it on special occasions but these days I am so busy to bake. I managed to satisfy my Cheescake fix when foodie blogger Richard sent me a sample of Quezo de Bola Cheesecake. I know that cheesecakes begin with cheese of course–usually cream cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese or sometimes Swiss or cheddar cheese. Quezo de bola and cheesecake together? Love...

Ocean Garden Seafood Restaurant: Cebu’s Best-Kept Secret

ShareTweetWhenever I travel somewhere, I make sure that I know someone who lives in my destination, or I ask my friends to hook me up with someone who’ll be willing to take me around. I love seeing a new city through a local’s eyes, plus they always know the best places to eat. When I was in Cebu for the Sinulog festival, I met up with my friend Kaith, a fellow blogger I briefly met while she...

Coffee Bean’s 2012 Giving Journal Gives Joy All Year Round

ShareTweet Come Christmastime, coffee shops around the city start coming out with attractive journals to encourage their customers to try their limited edition Christmas beverages. These journals are never for sale; rather, they are earned by accumulating receipts or stickers. If there’s one journal that I believe is worth earning this season, it’s Coffee Bean’s 2012 Giving Journal. ...

Red Box’s Rock, Dine, and Roll Experience

ShareTweet A couple of years ago, finding a karaoke bar that didn’t have a seedy, unsavory vibe was a total feat. There were none that were located within walking distance from malls, and they never had much to offer aside from private karaoke rooms. That all changed when Red Box opened its doors in 2003. They quickly established themselves as everyone’s favorite karaoke destination, not just...

Zubuchon Restaurant: Where to find the Lechon that Anthony Bourdain raved about

ShareTweet How time flies. I first tasted Zubuchon more than a year ago while on a stopover in Cebu. My online friends told me that I just had to taste it. It isn’t the Cebu Lechon I am used to, perhaps because rosemary and other herbs were added. Not that Zubuchon didn’t taste good either. It has its own distinct taste. My daughters who are used to Manila lechon loved it though and didn’t add...
