KopiTiam: Singapore Breakfast
I love breakfast. Whether it be a Filipino breakfast with atsara, tapa/tocino/hotdog, sinangag, pritong itlog, at kape or a continental breakfast with eggs benedict, bacon, waffles, and sausages complete with marmalade and some orange juice, breakfast food is just awesome. Since I am in Singapore, I couldn’t pass up the chance to go try some authentic Singaporean breakfast. So last Sunday,...
Read MorePonggol Nasi Lemak
The last time I was at Singapore (which was last year) my first meal usually set the tone for the trip. Last year it was Boon Tong Kee’s HCR. This was the perfect way to introduce me to the wonderful world that is Singapore Food. This time around after a tiring day of grinding out the day, we headed on over to Upper Serangoon road to get some Nasi Lemak. First thoughts were “ok...
Read MoreL’Incontro
Sitting in the heart of Old Makati, along what used to be called Reposo St. (now called N.Garcia) lies a quaint little italian restaurant. I had already heard about this resto from some other foodies and was delighted to be invited over for a special lunch with traditional press people over at L’Incontro. Reposo, which means repose or rest, was so adequately named that I sometimes wonder...
Read MoreChuckle – No Laughing Matter!
As I checked my daily e-mails (primarily because I receive it on my phone) I came upon an e-mail by one Katherine Cheng. Cheng, as we called her back in college, sent a long email very formal, very business-like, and was asking if I could feature this product on my blog. Cheng and I met in college at the Faura building early 3rd year. She was tall and daunting but looked friendly and cool. I...

Warning: Looking at the photos may cause hunger. Foodie Manila is not responsible for your cravings. I love my blog. Wait I’m being vague. Let me be more specific. I.LOVE.MY.BLOG. Today I was invited to have an intimate lunch at the New World Hotel’s Jasmine Cantonese Restaurant. Their head chef Choi Wing Ki prepared a special menu just for us. My first impression is that it was a...
Read MoreFood Photography 101
I have been blogging and food photography for almost 3 years now but only recently did I really take it seriously. It was just a wasteland of my thoughts and adventures before where I could every now and then see how I have developed as well as take a look back at my online chronicles of my so-called life. Food has always been and will always be a part of my blogging experience. The best way to...
Read MoreFoodie Manila will be flying to KL
Hi Guys, So I finally did it. I booked a flight to KL. I couldn’t resist since a year ago, the last time I was in KL I had a taste of KL food, but wasn’t able to do a proper feature. (not to mention my photography sucked back then!) So this time around, armed with my photography gear as well as my new found love for food (ok so its not quite new) I booked a flight to KL. I am staying...
Read MoreInaugural Day Lunch
Since the Foodie club has been on hiatus lately, some of the founding members decided to just have a quaint little lunch at Richard‘s place. We decided on having a time old tested classic of HCR. (Hainanese Chicken Rice for the uninitiated. Check out old post here) Between Bites and I have been talking about this lunch for quite some time not only for the food, but also for the kwento and...
Read MoreSecret Taste Test (Guest Photographer)
Every now and then I would have guest writers write entries for me regarding a particular restaurant and/or dining experience. I find this a thrill because it offers up a different point of view, in terms of the experience itself. I offer up a refreshing new perspective. For this series, I brought along a guest photographer! Surprise surprise right? Garry G. Angeles has been a friend for quite...
Read MoreThe Secret Taste Test (2nd Series)
Its been a week since the initial taste test was conducted, and based on the comments I got last week, we have improved the recipe as well as variety of burgers. This time around I came prepared as well. With the right equipment as well as right lighting techniques. I knew I was going to be styling the food. With each dish being prepped for my styling skills (or rather whatever I thought looked...
