Since it's throwback Thursday, am happy to find food that's a blast from the past. Am talking of Jonas Pares in La Loma, Quezon City which was one of my favorite comfort food places when I was younger and much thinner. It's a relief that they've expanded to more locations and there's actually one in The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City. Jonas' specialty is the pares (P198) , a tasty dish that's unique to the Philippines and originated by the resto itself. The dish comes in three's actually - the clear soup,fried rice and beef simmered to tender portions. So ... Continue Reading...
Naxional South American Diner in BGC
Naxional South American Diner is another colorful, hip place that has opened in Bonifacio Global City or BGC. In fact, so hip that Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach had her birthday celebration here this week. On weekends, one can also easily spot those expats and good-looking Brazilian models who have made Manila their home. But that's not really the point because the resto transports one to vibrant South America from its interiors alone, dominated by brick walls and eye catching murals or paintings. And on that day in August when they opened Naxional to the ... Continue Reading...

Sugar Factory American Brasserie is the latest foreign restaurant chain to set up shop in Manila and is now open at the ground level High Street Park of Shangri-La at the Fort in Bonifacio Global City (BGC).

Everything's unique and is a must-try! In my hands: Sugar Factory's dulce de leche milkshake in a chocolate-covered mug adorned with popcorn, and the s'mores martini. ... Continue Reading...
Up close with Nigella Lawson for Contadina
The good thing with this craft called blogging is the chance to see world-famous celebrities up close. In 2013, I had the great fortune of shaking the hands of my peg in Sex & the City, Sarah Jessica Parker, for the opening of SM Aura. Now that it's 2016, we got the chance to be in the same room with celebrity food author Nigella Lawson, in an exclusive lunch as they would call it. That's because she's the endorser of Contadina, the Italian-inspired food line being brought to the Philippines for the first time by Del Monte. Nigella was a very lovely woman and to ...

Flatiron in Uptown Place Mall BGC : New York-style comfort food
#yummyinmytummy is one hashtag am liking in Instagram lately. The word reminds me of one place I've tried dining in of late: Flatiron Restaurant at the newly-unveiled Uptown Place Mall in BGC. There's nothing complicated about the menu masterminded by Executive Chef Vicky Rose Pacheco of the 1771 Group of Restaurants. But it's yummy, down home comfort food...yes! Chefs know flat iron as that sturdy griddle made of cast iron from where one can sear or grill meat perfectly. Flatiron also happens to be the name of the iconic building in New York that's shaped ... Continue Reading...
