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

Share Whenever 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 was...

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

Share 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

Share 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

Share 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 lechon...

Lentils as Anything, pay as you feel restaurant

Share I am right now in Melbourne to visit my daughter who has been working here for the past year. She really knows the best places to bring me around. Actually , our plan was to visit Abbotsford to see well, the Abbotsford convent and try out their bakery goodies and likewise visit the Farmer’s market. This is probably like the Good Shepherd’s convent in Baguio. The Abbotsford convent...

Marcia Adams Restaurant in Tagaytay

Share Typhoon Falcon threatened our usual quarterly birthday celebration. My classmates in BS Food Technology looked forward to our visit to Marcia Adams in Tagaytay. Rain or rain, we made it last Saturday , a day after the ravaging typhoon. Everyone seemed to be resting in Manila because the trip to Tagyatay was a breeze. Oh, and though the skies were gloomy , there were no rains. Marcia Adams is...

A typical merienda cena during Jose Rizal’s time

Share Have you ever wondered what a typical merienda cena was during the era in which Jose Rizal lived? I was at the Rizal Shrine for a press launch of the My Rizal 150th birthday celebration on June 2. The long table set with blue and white fine dinner ware, laden with fruits, and Filipiniana decors along the balcony makes one reminisce of the food eaten during Rizal’s time. Jose Rizal is...

Nathaniel’s pasalubong stop with Buko Pandan and Puto Pao

Share We, Pinoys are fond of pasalubong shopping. Most of the time, I buy my pasalubong at Tiendesitas in Pasig City or Market-Market in Taguig. Well, the Sooo Pinoy Food tour to Nathaniel’s Bakeshop along Timog is a great pasalubong stop. The original Nathaniel’s is from Pampanga and often we associate Pampanga with excellent Pinoy cuisine. I heard about their Buko Pandan salad and Puto...
