Can't remember when Korean food overtook Japanese as my favorite Asian cuisine, but I do crave for it now more than the other. There are a lot of Korean restaurants in Manila, but the problem is I always find it hard to tag along my friends there. You see, everybody likes dimsum but not everyone acquires the taste for kimchi. Moreover, the average you can spend for a meal by your lonesome in a Korean resto is P300 - quite expensive for an office worker, tee hee. So I guessed the next best thing was to figure out how to cook their cuisine. The first sensible thing ... Continue Reading...

How carnivorous are we? Today's the day when Brothers Burgers lowers the prices of some of its prime beef patties on a bun, and we're in! This is part of their 10th year anniversary celebration.

Stackers: a new 24-hour burger place in Eastwood City Walk
No matter how Pinoys say they love adobo and tapsilog, this is still a burger-eating country (okay, bur-jer, if you must.) How else do you think Jollibee made its billions? Hamburger places have mushroomed all over, ranging from the buy one, take one 20 pesos variety to the upscale ones made of Wagyu. Like the Americans, we simply love our beef - the more tender and juicy, the better. Manila-based carnivores never fail to notice the arrival of new burger destinations in town. And this is the buzz about Stackers Burger Cafe on the Eastwood City Walk, just across Il ... Continue Reading...
The Bread Bag Pandesal Bar
What could be more Filipino than pandesal? One good part of living in the Philippines is being able to partake of piping hot pandesal during breakfast, or merienda. There is nothing like the taste of this rounded bread full of crumbs, about the size of a fist, which is versatile enough to be eaten with a lot of fillings, with coffee or with native hot chocolate. Pandesal has social relevance too. Observers are fond of equating the size and price of the pandesal with the state of the economy. Indeed, it has upped its value from one peso each to about two pesos ... Continue Reading...
Lunch box love
With the word "recession" dominating the news, it seems criminal spending $40 on a hotel buffet or $20 on a lunch out with friends. I still have those days when I'd happily swipe the husband's debit card, but I'd rather be Little Miss Self-Control.:P Something happened in the past few months, and it's the fact that I've joined the legions who bring their lunch boxes to work. I found out that this is the greatest money-saver ever, plus you're spared the trouble of lining up in the crowded cafeteria. It's an added bonus if you have a microwave oven in the office ...
