About Foodie Manila

Foodie Manila is a personal blog where The ChubbyChef aka. ME! documents and explores the world of food in his search for foodie nirvana.

I have always believed that one gets to know the culture as well as the personality of a place or person based on the food they eat. I am a strong believer of quote “You are what you eat!” I am in no way an expert at food nor do I claim to be. All that this blog aims to do is share places where I’ve eaten and my view or opinions on places. Advertising Executive by day, renegade Foodie by Night, I seek out those places that will make us go squee~

I have several contributors on this blog. All of which have the credentials of having eaten food for years!

Flarewick –  Wil is a long time food advocate. She is addicted to running that is why she is so fit. Yet, secretly she is a die-hard foodie willing to try anything and everything once. She has a knack for finding those little hole-in-the-walls that serve the most surprising food. Watch out for her reviews! She parks her thoughts on http://astellarbreakfast.wordpress.com

Frannywanny – Fran is a friend of mine who shares this love for food and anything YUMMY! We often dine with each other and since she has a knack for capturing into words what we ate, I thought it best that she occasionally contributes to this budding blog of mine. After much prodding and and much to my delight, Fran has relented to my requests, even if sometimes it may seem unreasonable!

Between Bites – Jane is my achi. Yes she is. We both share a passion for the finer things in life and what better garnish to a magnificent meal than superb conversation. We could literally spend hours (and have occasionally spent them) just talking over a glass of wine and some dumplings. This foodie will definitely be present here in my blog for she shares the same passion I have in photos as she tries to capture the vibrance and beauty present in every dish that we eat.

Blogging is definitely an outlet for me. I love my passion for food photography. Sharing with my readers, even if through pictures, the artworks and masterpieces of modern day artists/chefs/cooks come up with. The gastronomic delight we share and love may somehow transcend the photo and into our consciousness.
