Sambo Kojin is an eat-all-you-can yakiniku owned by the same people behind the legendary Dad's buffet. We always meant to dine here but there doesn't seem to be a branch near us.It was indeed very timely when I got an invite to try out Sambo Kojin's newly-opened branch at the 3rd level of the Atrium of SM Megamall. Too bad, I could only bring one person so I tagged along the biggest rice eater of the twins...Dionne! haha.

Italian vegetarian recipes from Chef Nesi of L’Opera Manila
There is more to Italian food than pizza and pasta.When you get to discover it, Italian cuisine is to be loved for the simplicity of its cooking method, rendering the flavors pure & authentic. All the more I get to appreciate the healthy side of eating Italian with the use of olive oil or just roasting the meat and vegetables. Last March, chef Luciano Paolo Nesi of L'Opera, that enduring Italian resto at the Fort, held a cooking class at The Maya Kitchen.He's from Tuscany himself so his lecture on the culinary pleasures of the Tuscan kitchen was much awaited.
