Club Meeting at Omakase!
It was election night and well while we were waiting for the unofficial and partial count to tally up to something meaningful (or basically to gauge if we would be lamenting our faith for the next 6 years) the food club decided to come together again and hold another “club” meeting. Almost everyone was present and Didi Tiu-Tang was sorely missed because she backed out last minute due...
Read MoreMinato: Korean Resto
Written By: Richard Co of Ya Kun Kaya Photos By: Carlos Palma aka The ChubbyChef The second meeting of “the club” was held at Minato Korean restaurant, as per my suggestion. The place has a homey feel to it. We were seated in the traditional Korean area, where we had to remove our shoes and sit on the floor. Since we suggested the place, they tasked us to order for the group. I ordered...
Read MoreClub Meeting at Beijing Hand Pulled Noodles
I’ve been meaning to write about this place ever since Wil and I visited it during one Serenitea session. I’ve been craving for it ever since then. I regard it as my comfort food. Ma Mon Luk and Le Ching aside, I regard this place as one of the comfort foods already. I guess I just have a soft spot for chinese food. As advertised, the noodles were hand pulled and prepared each time...
Read MoreThaiDara
I had the pleasure of eating with Between Bites and “Bubba” (ok chris I really gotta get used to calling you that since apparently that is your online name!) after a company event. I was a bit shy since “Bubba” (sorry Chris will put this in quotation marks muna!) was there and I’m a shy person really! They decided to go have dinner at ThaiDara, a Thai resto place...
Read MoreEaster Lunch
Easter Lunch has always and will always be a tradition for most of us Christian and Catholics of joyous celebration. It is said that on this day, Jesus is resurrected making true his promise and completing the 2nd part of the redemption of man from sin. Veering away from the theological basis, it is also said to end the season of Lent as season of fasting and sacrifice, hence the copious amounts...
Read MoreBlack Saturday Dinner
I’ve always loved food. When people find out that I blog about nothing but food, the first question they always ask me is “So what’s your favorite type of cuisine?” I find myself staring out into space in search of the answer to this oh-so-simple question. My love affair with food started way back when I was young, hence the rather large figure I have. I can’t just have one cuisine. Its...
Read MoreBacalhau, Traditions, and Good Friday
Taking a break from the usual restaurant tours, I decided to add something that has somewhat become a tradition for this blog; our traditional meals in our family. Although we trace our lineage from the Kapangpangans or Cabalens and have that inculcated with our daily meals, it is during the special holidays do we really roll out the good stuff. Last New Year I featured, Callos on this blog and...
Read MoreThe Frazzled Cook
Written by: Fran Haw of http://www.frannywanny.com Photos by: Carlos Palma a.k.a. The Chubbychef There’s always an excitement towards discovering a hidden gem. This is the kind that would make you go “a-ha!” upon stumbling upon a good thing that’s not quite known to the public yet. Such was the case when we were invited by the Frazzled Cook for dinner one quiet Saturday evening. I have...
Read MoreStevie’s Hainanese Chicken Rice
I’ve been hearing a lot of Chi-chi lately about the latest food craze and Hainanese Chicken from Stevies has always popped out. Blogs really do offer the best source of information. Now mind you, my standards for chicken rice is somewhat high. The first time I tasted it was on the first night of my Singapore trip last year. Ming took us to Boon Tong Kee. Little did I know that it was one of...
Read MoreZenses: A Treat To The Senses
I rushed in expecting half eaten plates of food already consumed by my fellow food bloggers. Mind you, they were all prompt, and here I am rushing in through the front door with bags and stands hanging from my neck, sweating like nobody’s business as the owner explained the first thing to be served. Yes yes, I was late. It was very unprofessional and I really felt bad that they had to wait...
