Brotzeit Philippines is 10th in the world
When I posted a photo in Facebook of the mouthwatering sausage I ate at the first Philippine branch of Brotzeit in Shang-ri La Mall, a friend asked "there is now Brotzeit in Manila??" I was amused considering that I never encountered this beer bar and restaurant in my travels throughout Asia. Not in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China and Thailand where it has also set up shop. But apparently, if you're more well-exposed than me to the bar scene "globally", then you will be familiar with Brotzeit. I rest my case. Prost! :) In a nutshell, here's what ... Continue Reading...
Smokin’ Hot BBQ in GB3 is smokin’ hot!

I love salmon that's why we always have this in stock in our household. The trick is to keep and freeze some for the rainy days or whenever you need it. In this case, Holy Week! Nothing but veggies and fish during ... Continue Reading...
Buddha Bar Manila
Buddha-Bar is an international bar and restaurant chain found in cosmopolitan cities like Paris, Monte Carlo, Prague and Dubai. But it is the one in Manila that is a must-visit because it is the biggest Buddha bar in the world! The MNL location, found in Picar Place, Kalayaan Avenue, Makati is truly massive and seven star!! I was surprised that a club like this exists in the Philippines. I guess the only thing that works against it is that it is out of the way from where the hip social set normally gather in Greenbelt or the Fort ... but maybe this is all intentional ...
