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...
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 ...

C-Lium High-Fiber Cook-Off at Aubergine Restaurant
Colon cancer has been in the news lately because of the late President Cory Aquino. The health buffs among us are suddenly reading up on the subject, especially how to prevent it. One of the crucial areas is proper nutrition. As much as possible, avoid red meat, especially those grilled, and focus on a plant-based diet. Timely enough, we got an invitation for a C-Lium High-Fiber cook-off event last week. I know some friends who take C-Lium Fibre and find it helpful in improving their digestion. I've tried it a few times before and gave up because I was put off by ... Continue Reading...
Breakfast joys: Jollibee pancake sandwich atbp.
I agree with what the health experts say: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Can't miss it! This is actually one of those times when I'd go fastfood. The uber-affordable prices in the leading chains has made dining out an affordable option. As parents or office workers, no longer are we so harassed to bring out those pans and kettles because we just have to buzz the Drive-Thru and it will be ready in two minutes. There was actually a time when I was late for work and waited through traffic while rushing to eat corned beef, egg and garlic rice with a ... Continue Reading...
Kusina Selera: Davao City’s best new restaurant
Travelling to Davao City is such a pain for me. I figure I can already go to either Hong Kong or Taipei with the one hour and forty five minutes it would take me to get there. But there was something during my last trip that made me excited to go to Davao again. And the reason is this cozy little new restaurant called Kusina Selera. In a city filled with seafood and grilled (ihaw-ihaw) places, the new resto comes like a breath of fresh air. It was opened only last May and seeks to specialize in Filipino fusion dishes. It forms part of a compound which includes a ... Continue Reading...
