We're so happy to find that Hai Chix & Steaks, the crowd-favorite steak house in Ortigas, is now open at SM Jazz Makati!

Food Post: Franco’s at Rockwell Powerplant

01.28.2014 by Leah // 4 Comments

AJ and I are big fans of Myron's Steak. We preferred dining at their Rockwell Branch (over the one at Greenbelt) because of its cozy ambiance and formal look that made it perfect for dinner dates.   We had planned on having dinner there sometime in October last year (because I miss their Chicken Inasal already!) when I remembered that a new restaurant has replaced Myron's na ...

Food Post: Wee Nam Kee

01.10.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

This is not the first time we've been to Wee Nam Kee.   We love their Roasted Chicken to bits.  That's always our choice over their Hainanese chicken, which we first tried at their Ayala Triangle branch. Last Sunday while strolling at Serendra, we saw a Wee Nam Kee restaurant across Conti's.   Thankfully, we were used to falling in line already at their Ayala Triangle branch ... READ MORE

Food Post: Kenny Roger’s Hainanese Chicken

08.11.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The first Hainanese Chicken meal I've tried was from Orchard Road (Megamall Branch).   I remember eating here for a few times when AJ and I were attending bridal fairs at the Megatrade Hall hehe. Since we haven't been to Megamall in a while, I got my cravings back for hainanese chicken when I saw this poster at Kenny Rogers, Rockwell Branch: I just have to try it. ... READ MORE

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
