Let it be put on record that am mighty proud of the restaurant scene in Manila. It takes a native to see the diversity of offerings, the variety of cuisines and the excellence of the food available in town now. I love learning how young Filipinos, after being schooled in the great culinary traditions of New York, Vancouver, Sydney or wherever, are coming home to set up shop and pay it forward.Indeed, no longer shall we be called a Third World country if only for this! In the meantime, new fabulous places in town are sprouting up like the latest strip of Megaworld ... Continue Reading...
Noche Buena recipes from Chef Aracama
As you can see, there have been no food and resto features for a long time. Am not about to blame Typhoon Yolanda, but some friends were really serious when they urged netizens (like me) not to post food photos while hunger was prevalent in Tacloban & neighboring areas. So be it! Anyway, this is not about food for the sake of eating. Will be sharing some recipes which you can use for the family's all-important gathering for either the Noche Buena (during Christmas Eve) or Media Noche (during New Year's Eve) this year. It is only three days before December after ... Continue Reading...

A lechon belly recipe for Christmas
Excuse me. I simply had to drool when I saw the roasted pork belly display at this new resto called Bellychon in Greenbelt 1. The skin looked so crispy, the meat so tender and it just reminds of the coming holiday season when the family tables will be festive and overladen with food. There's just something about lechon which reminds one of a joyous Christmas in the Philippines! The taste test didn't disappoint. A rice meal with a generous serving of lechon for P120? bring it on! I think this roasted pork belly originated among the South-based purveyors ... Continue Reading...
100 Revolving Restaurant by Chef Jessie
100 Revolving Restaurant - located in the 33rd floor of MDC Building along C5 just a little after the turn towards Eastwood City - is the only one of its kind in the Philippines at the moment. Boasting of a space of about 1500 square meters, it is also the biggest. Breathtaking is the word. I've been all over town but I couldn't help but gasp an "ooh" and "aah" when I saw the view through this resto's floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A daytime visit is recommended to better appreciate the sight. One can even see the Sierra Madre mountain range and the hills of ... Continue Reading...
