As a mother of three kids, am no stranger to the culinary staple that is the Kiddie Meal. In fact, one of my criteria in eating out with the young 'uns is that it should be a kid-friendly restaurant. Good ol' McDonald's and Jollibee come to mind. Fine dining slash family restos have their offerings as well, complete with crayons, drawing paper, toys and the like. Let us list a few of them that offer tempting treats. Credits to those who makethe effort to present the food well: Do you agree with me when I say McDonald's beats Jollibee in the kiddie meal game? I ... Continue Reading...
Chi’s Brick Oven Kitchen …. pizza goodness!
We've settled in the South (Paranaque area) for barely a year, and it's only now that am discovering culinary destinations in the neighborhood, and beyond. So far, it looks exciting. Southern joints are not as written about as their counterparts in the North and center of Manila but I tell you, they're equally good. Because of the distance, the scene here is not as crowded with people and there's always the 'homey' feel of the places involved. One such joint is Chi's Brick Oven Kitchen, a nondescript resto along the length of Aguirre Avenue, inside BF Homes ... Continue Reading...
Flapjacks One Peso Pancakes
Here's a tummy-filler we can't possibly resist. All-day breakfast place Flapjacks is offering these divine stack of pancakes at one peso each from April 13 to 17, to celebrate their first year anniversary.

Considering that Flapjacks is known for their filling but pricey offerings, one peso for a pancake..... is better than street food!!! I just bumped into this promotion actually. The server (who was on OJT) didn't even mention it to me :( So ... Continue Reading...
Manila’s dine-in seafood markets
With a mainly no-meat diet being imposed by Filipino Roman Catholics among themselves this past Holy Week, allow me to talk about seafood markets that have mushroomed in the city. When you're craving for cooked seafood in these parts, you can think of three major sources: the Filipino restos where you can feast on local specialties like guinataang kuhol (snail), the Chinese restos which have offerings like crispy shrimps or crab with sotanghon (vermicelli), and the open-air markets where you can pick your seafood fresh and have it cooked in the adjoining restaurant of ...

Breakfast at Emerald Garden
Am so happy I found a new breakfast hang-out this week. It started when I started bringing my son to school at 7 a.m., two hours ahead of my scheduled work in the office. My sleepy, thirsty- for-coffee self was unknowingly led to Emerald Garden, one of the oldie but goodie restaurants on Roxas Boulevard, just across the US Embassy. Emerald Garden is A PAIR of restaurants that's a few steps away from each other. The first one offers dimsum, the other one does not. I've eaten here countless times before, because if you're based in Manila and don't know about it, ... Continue Reading...
