Food Trip: Kuala Lumpur Style
When we talk about food tripping it usually involves venturing out to a certain province or locale and eating the food there. But when Timothy Tiah took us food tripping it involved going from one restaurant to another. Ordering just enough at each place to keep you satisfied and yet not full. But after this was a series of meals where you just have to have enough space! So the food trip...
Read MoreDuck King on Jaya One
Our gracious host and leader Mr. Timothy Tiah (one of the founders of Nuffnang) took us all out for dinner at Duck King located at Jaya One just outside Kuala Lumpur. It would be a chinese dinner. And it would be one of the best. First to arrive would be the mapo tofu steak with seaweed or nori on top. The tofu was one of the best I’ve tasted. Nice and firm when you scoop it up but...
Read MoreSingapore Hawker
So Foodie Manila goes international. I was a bit hesitant to try a Hawker center since it was compared to our carinderia in the philippines. But then again this is Singapore. Their hawker center was the highlight of my trip. Can you say P90 for rice, soup, and duck?? Singapore food was awesome! (but KL food was even better!) Here are some shots of the food I ate! Sesame Seed Chicken Rice Duck...
Read MoreThe Pride of Gen San (3 of 3)
I was already starting to feel full. Full from the food but also from the stories and memories the food brought. Chef Kring truly kept her word. She has transformed the dishes General Santos had to offer and yet still maintained that which was so uniquely Gen San. It was wonderful combination of simplicity and exquisite flavor, all jiving to create beautiful symphony of taste and aesthetics....
Read MoreThe Pride of General Santos (2 of 3)
I ended the last post with the journey to my memories of General Santos. The beautiful coastline that is Saranggani Bay reminds me of the LA coastline. (FACT: It was built by the US to mimic indeed the LA coastline) For a place stricken with so much conflict and strife, where war and holy battles be it justified or not is present, General Santos is beautiful place. Just in time the 4 main courses...
Read MoreThe Pride of General Santos City (1 of 3)
General Santos City is well known for being the home of the People’s Champ, Manny Pacquiao. But for foodie’s like me, General Santos City means so much more. Bordering the line between Saranggani Province and South Cotabato, here lies a burgeoning city where rural life meets urban life. GenSan as it is more commonly referred to is a sort of melting pot of Luzon and the Visasayas. I...
Read MoreChai Latte c/o The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
I usually don’t venture out and try new drinks especially since they cost alot! But I had to try this Chai Latte. My office mates raved about it all the time. How could I pass that up? So I trooped off to the nearest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (since apparently they have the best). I ordered my Chai Latte in LARGE so I had no choice but to finish it! Upon first sip, I immediately found the...
