It's nice to know that some good things never change, and if they do..they only get better. With the buffet competition heating up in Manila these days, one luxurious resto by the bay still lords it over the city for being the best of the bunch. And the honor belongs to Spiral at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. (Photo courtesy of the hotel) I've been avoiding all sorts of food debauchery to adopt a healthier lifestyle but I was truly excited when I received an invite from Jane of Sofitel's sales & marketing office to try the 'new' Spiral. The last time I ... Continue Reading...
Spam Tocino for real …. @smsupermalls
There's been so much fuss about the SPAM® Tocino that I've become one of those rabidly curious about it. Perhaps, Hormel (the manufacturer) has finally recognized the Philippines' clout as a Spam-eating nation that it has decided to make a Spam flavor in our honor...it could have been adobo! haha. Acting on a tip from fellow blogger Mommy Peach, I went to SM Hypermarket (Sucat) last night to check out the availability of Spam Tocino and found it glistening in tin can glory in the shelves. O hai...it's not a hoax after all! I immediately bought three cans at Php105 ... Continue Reading...
Black ink risotto & bacalao recipes for Lent
It is Good Friday now for Catholics in the Philippines and the time is usually associated with fasting or abstaining from meat. Fish, seafood, vegetables and the occasional hunger are the order of the day. Anyway, am sharing here a rather belated post about the Spanish cooking class I attended at The Maya Kitchen mid-March. On the podium was Spanish chef Chele Santiago who lords it over one of Manila's celebrated culinary kitchens, Gallery VASK in Bonifacio Global City. It is rather expensive to dine at Vask, but those who attended this class took the shortcut. We ... Continue Reading...
The great Aristocrat food trip….. to San Pablo, Laguna!
The Aristocrat Restaurant on Roxas Boulevard is a great city landmark, much like the Quiapo Church or Rizal Park. But the amazement goes a notch higher when am faced with its year of birth : it was put up in 1936 which means it was there before the Second World War. If you're looking for the oldest full-service restaurant chain in Manila, look no further. This is it! Being in the business for so long and still drawing crowds day after day can only mean one thing: this restaurant serves consistently good food. For instance, I don't mind eating that ...

Dessert p0rn at the 1st Pleasure Store of #MagnumManila
Mark your calendars: it's less than 7 days to go before the first Magnum Pleasure Store opens in Manila. April 8, to be exact! Was fortunate to sample their goodies last week and I highly recommend! The pop-up store's location at SM Aura's SkyPark Dining looks really posh but Make Your Own Magnum is a real treat. For only 100 pesos, you get to dip your Magnum bar in your choice of chocolate coating then choose three from 18 tempting toppings, which range from crushed chocolate chip cookies to freeze-dried raspberries. I had two Magnum bars and it was an ... Continue Reading...
