It seems that the ever favorite matcha from Japan has found itself in a tight competition with the come back of the milk tea craze in the Philippines.
Let's talk about the Korean BBQ craze, shall we?
I'm Hotel is proud to offer both its first-time and loyal customers a more festive way to celebrate the holidays this year! The prestigious hotel has got various, versatile packages for friends and families to take advantage of, and gifts to bring home to loved ones to let them experience I'm Hotel right from the comforts of their homes
We at the #WeLoveToEatPH community were planning an early Christmas party/ gathering to celebrate our shared love for food and the bond we created over it.
I was able to try Locavore back in June this year, and that experience didn't go as expected. Nevertheless, I vowed to return to give the most loved Filipino restaurant in the Metro a chance to redemption.
I've been thinking about having Vietnamese cuisine for the past few weeks, and since the craving hasn't left me since, I decided it's time to finally give it a go.
It's crazy how obsessed people got into samgyupsal these days (myself included). There have been a lot of restaurants opening to cater to the KBBQ-hungry crowd, but there is one name that has been gaining praises, if not dominating the industry.
Never settle for anything less than what you deserve. Life is too short to play safe and make boring decisions, no matter how small.
We were checked in at this amazing resort in Siargao named Nay Palad Hideaway, and I’ve already detailed how cool this resort is (in my previous blog post). But of course, it wouldn’t be a vacation (at least not for me) without delicious food. And lucky for us, Nay Palad Hideaway pampers their guests on that field as well!
I haven't always been a fan of sashimi or other sushi items. Back then, all I can eat from the Japanese cuisine were the California makis, tempura, or basically anything cooked. But this changed early last year, and as I craved for a salmon sashimi, I couldn't think of any other place to get it than this place I've been meaning to try.
The World Kitchen Fight at Genki Sushi is a competition between the different countries Genki Sushi serves all over the world. Each country creates their own masterpieces using tuna as the main ingredient, which are then presented to a panel of judges to critique.
There have been debates on whether food parks are here to stay. With the growing business of the food industry, more and more people are trying to get their way in, and thus, the rapid increase in the number of food parks. Question is, with all of them popping out across all cities, how can one really rise above the other?
I can't remember the time when milk tea first became a hit in the country. It wasn't long ago, but it sure is making an early comeback.
My siblings and I have been coming to Urameshi-Ya for dinner ever since we learned about their unlimited yakiniku offer. Back then, I didn't have the interest to blog about it because taking photos in its old location seemed impossible, so here I am now.
Chateaubriand Premium Steak Restaurant is a new buffet restaurant in Metro Manila, serving unlimited Churrasco in a fine dining setup.
Before Korean barbeque restaurants pop out of every corner of the streets, and even before the samgyupsal became a craze, there's this simple, charcoal-grill restaurant offering unlimited items buffet style.
Caritas Manila will be holding its second celebrity bazaar this coming October 18, 2018 at SM Megamall's 2/L The Mega Atrium, from 1pm to 10pm!
Ilustrado is a Filipino restaurant located in Intramuros. It is one that is committed to bringing the Filipino cuisine to a whole new level without sacrificing all the distinct characteristics that make this cuisine special.
I learned very little about the Peruvian cuisine since the time that I first got to try it 2 years ago. Like the Filipino cuisine, it is one that has been influenced by various nationalities. This together with their own touch of culture, resulted in a cuisine with diverse and unique flavors. I don't really know what authentic Peruvian cuisine should taste like, but this restaurant surely made me like this cuisine from the very start.
I am not a true kaladkarin if I won't be able to go far north to visit restaurants. And since I am, I accepted an invite for a mini food crawl at Ayala Vertis North.
Jin Joo finally joined the line of Korean restaurants offering unlimited Korean BBQ in Manila!
Part of living our lives to the fullest is by making it a habit to try something new. In the last few years, trying all sorts of different dishes and cuisines is what makes my life exciting, and among all those is the Peruvian cuisine.
My friends and I from culinary school have been planning to visit Chef Sau's 25 Seeds in Pampanga. But as most of you know, it's very challenging to set a date for trips such as this, so we never really got to go as a group.
My high school friends and I just came from a mini reunion when we decided we needed to schedule another one that's happening a week later. Since we wanted to support our friend's business at Uptown Bonifacio, we figured we can have our dinner there.
The German Club Manila is hosting the biggest and grandest Oktoberfest as they celebrate the festival's 80th anniversary this year!
In celebration of its 15th anniversary in the Philippines, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is bringing three new addition to their line of drinks, and it involves one ingredient we all rave for - MATCHA!
During the days when I was still a teenager, I've always found it fun to savor everything that I eat and try to guess the ingredients and cooking method used to prepare each dish. Back then, I didn't know a lot of restaurants, but I do know Mesa, being one of my favorite Filipino restaurants in Manila.
Last Saturday was one of the best events I've been to as a food blogger. I may seem like someone who just loves to eat and try out everything the world has to offer, but deep down inside of me is a girl who has always been interested in cooking and baking. So when J. Cuppacakes invited me to an afternoon of baking workshop, I was extremely delighted (and excited)!
Bad Diet is a small art bar and cafe that opened along Estrella street in Makati 3 months ago. It's a place where you can have food and coffee, and enjoy and buy art works at the same time.
I haven’t been to a Vietnamese restaurant ever since my first ever ever experience convinced me that this isn’t a cuisine that’s cut out for me. But the increasing obsession for phos and banh mis made the curious foodie in me give it another go with the newest Vietnamese restaurant in town.
I was having a 3-day birthday bash, and my boyfriend and I have been eating at buffets for the first two out of three days. So on the third day (which was my birthday), we were so sick of eating that we opted to eat somewhere simpler. Makati was our first option, but with the traffic that we encountered, we dared not to continue and headed back to BGC instead where we found ourselves in Mimi & Bros.
Vidascience Inc, a beauty and wellness company, has introduced a new product in the market that people of all ages and gender will surely enjoy.
The Wine Club is a hip, neighbourhood winebar situated in one of the quieter streets in Makati. It's a good place to spend a night tasting over 300 wines from California, France, and Australia, and enjoy pairing them with the delectable bistro food available.
We had a Maginhawa food crawl last May 2018, and being the foodie in the group, I came up with a list of all the restaurants we will be visiting.
It was my first time in StrEAT Maginhawa Foodpark, and I had a lot in mind that I'd like to try, but ended up ordering a dessert and a tea drink instead.
Locavore has been making its name in Manila as a place to get seriously good Filipino food. I always see this restaurant being highly recommended for people who have foreigners or balikbayans coming over to visit, wanting to have a taste of what Filipinos have to offer.
Cru Steakhouse’s Unlimited Cru Steaks Sundays started early in February this year (although I think they already offered this before). The promo is not just unlimited steaks, but a 3-course menu specifically available only during lunch.
Roast meats are available in most Chinese restaurants in Manila. If you want some, you won’t have to scour far and wide to find one.
I was having a hard time thinking about what I wanted to have for lunch with my boyfriend on our Sundate. He then decided to bring me to Powerplant Mall to check out a newly opened hole in the wall I told him I wanted to try. However, the place was full and there were lines at almost every stall. We looked for another place to have lunch, but the restaurants at the mall were all packed like crazy! We continued walking until we found ourselves in front of The Farm Organics, a restaurant I’ve been meaning to try because of its healthy food offerings and accessibility.
We had a hard time deciding on where we should have lunch one Sunday. I already had places in mind, but everything changed when I remembered that I had to do some grocery shopping. This forced us to choose a restaurant just around Glorietta Complex.
From hating everything raw to constantly craving for sashimi - that’s me! My sashimi obsession quickly developed compared to the past years, and it’s weird that I am starting to slowly unlock this love for Japanese food I never thought I had by looking for the cheapest sashimi offerings around.
Tagaytay has been our favorite go-to place for a quick getaway or bonding moment with our families. It's a city fairly close to Metro Manila, it's got a terrific view and cold breeze, and something about it just makes us feel calm and at peace.
I just hate places that are crowded and loud, which is why bars are not really a place I'd usually be in. I was very skeptical about visiting Churchill Bar in Estancia especially since I don't drink, but everything changed the moment I saw the bar.
We're in a time where diet has become so complicated. There are lots of different diet trends emerging in the market that are incredibly hard to follow. What's worse is the hefty price you'd have to pay for these diets. I surely think dieting is for those who have the extra cash, but that's before I tried this shop.
I honestly knew nothing about the tourist attractions in Japan. It's one of the countries I've really been excited to visit, but just because I wanted to see the cherry blossoms (and eat lots and lots of Japanese food).
Va Bene is one of the most talked about restaurants serving Italian dishes in the metro. It's one of those restaurants that don't need instagram-worthy interiors or eye-catching signages to make an impact in the industry.
Highlands Bistro at Estancia Mall is a restaurant that has all the right feels for every occasion, big or small.
