I have always been fascinated with restaurant interiors. As you have probably noticed in my previous food posts, I do not only feature pictures of the food we enjoyed (or not, hehe) but I also share pictures of the restaurant's interiors to make you feel the "vibe" of the place as well. I am usually drawn to restaurants with fashionable and cozy interiors. They create warm ... READ MORE
Birthday High: Tea Time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique
One of my birthday wishes for this year is to finally experience tea time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Greenbelt 5. And I got my birthday wish last Saturday when AJ and I were able to score seats for us and my college close pal - and now AJ's Starwars buddy - Pia. We took up Pia's suggestion to try 5 tea varieties - a mix of black, green and fruit teas - and started ... READ MORE
A Sumptuous Birthday!
I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way. It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!). I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ... READ MORE
Another Afternoon Tea Break
AJ and I managed to take a little break from the holiday rush last week, and holed up at the lounge of the New World Hotel in Makati for a simple afternoon tea. Simple because we just had some English Breakfast tea (it's TWG, natch!) and scones from the hotel. The English Breakfast tea from TWG was divine and luxurious, but the scones were ... READ MORE
Bulgogi Brothers
I'm not exactly a fan of Korean cuisine, and it was only recently that I discovered how flavorful the food were, and how surprisingly easy they are to prepare. I've done Korean Chicken Wings and Chap Chae - both of which turned out to be really good and instant favorites (my mom really loved my Korean Chicken Wings). So I was really excited when my brother invited us to try ... READ MORE
Tender Bob’s
Whenever we're craving for grilled porkchops, we almost always find ourselves at Tender Bob's: They serve mainly protein-packed dishes like burgers and steaks, all at very reasonable prices. Our favorite, of course, is their grilled porkchops (around P400, can't remember the exact price) which comes in 2 big pieces with side dishes: AJ and I can each finish ... READ MORE
Revisiting Mr. Jones
It's been a while since AJ and I last ate at Mr. Jones. We super love this restaurant which serves a mix of Filipino, Italian and American dishes in a 50's diner-style ambiance. The last time we went there it was closed due to some renovation. Our favorite there was the Tapa Overload (featured previously in my blog) and I was craving for one last Sunday so we headed to ...

Caffe Ti-Amo
Have you been here? Caffe Ti-Amo's specialty is the Affogato - vanilla or tiramisu gelato drowned in expresso! Pure heaven! This Affogato comes with cashew nuts that I prefer to mix with the gelato and expresso. Can I just say that it's so good, so very good, in fact, but I must not have it too often because of the very strong expresso. You see, I have been ... READ MORE
