Cupcakes by Sonja
One of the advantages of having to work at Bonifacio High Street would be the endless (yet pricey!) selection of places to eat. Whether it be at the fort strip, high street itself, serendra or market market, there are always great places to eat. These designer cupcakes have been quite a fad for a few years now and it has been gaining reputation. Imagine a store that sells mainly cupcakes. At an...
Read MoreCallos ala Madrid
For years now, I’ve noticed that some of the family traditions with regard to food are not common or rather not normal. We always serve callos, bacalao, oysters, and ham during certain events. For lenten season, since meat is frowned upon, easter lunch would always have bacalao (which is in itself a kind of fish already deep into the spanish tradition; it means dried salt cod), and osyters....
Read MoreChristmas and Cookies
It started about 3 years ago. My family or even just my mother and I would start baking cookies. I would measure because she hated that aspect of baking, the measuring of ingredients, as well as my eagerness to learn worked well for both of us. We were a good tandem. Working all those late nights to push out close to 50-100 cookies for our family gatherings. Cookies then came to be associated...
Read MoreFoodieManila and Its Secrets
I don’t usually buy food books, especially about cooking or baking, but this foodie book I just couldn’t pass up. I saw it only in passing while GF was paying at the cashier for the stuff that she bought. I quickly glanced over the featured books and saw it standing over there. (Those actually work!) I’ve actually heard about this book from either a relative or a friend who...
Read MoreMalcolm’s @ The Fort
Every so often there pops out a restaurant which at first glance is full of promise. You see the eye catching buntings, streamers, and flyers, promoting the latest dishes or specialties. Your expectations are set and mind you are set high. Upon ordering the prices seem reasonable and the food looks promising as well. (thanks to a great photographer and food stylist!) This was not the case with...
Read MoreCooking/Baking Classes Schedule: Heny Sison Culinary School
A lot of friends ask me where I learned to cook. It is quite unusual for a guy my age to be actually cooking some of these great meals for my friends especially since I never took up culinary skills. You see, you can only learn so much on your own. There are just some things that someone has to teach you. Luckily, I have Heny Sison’s culinary school. They offer short courses as well as half...
Read MorePamana
Sitting quietly along the National Highway, one would mistake Pamana as one of those boutique hotels or motels where one can stop over and rest to enjoy the cool air and awesome view of the Taal Lake. A quick little getaway from the city’s hustle and bustle. Upon entering the front doors, one is pleasantly greeted by a receptionist who will sit you according to the number of people in your...
Read MoreChicken Bacolod
With the recent craze in Chicken Inasal slowly taking over Manila, I thought it only right to try out the closest one to my work place. I’ve never really liked Inasal because the first time I tried Chicken Inasal, it was an awful experience. The chicken was severely undercooked and the marinade as well as the taste was just awful. It reminded me of rust. But lately I have found a renewed...
Read MoreSushi King
Fast Food and Japanese are not really synonymous to each other. Rare does one find a place to get quick and authentic Japanese food and yet still have the quality and finesse that comes with preparing Japanese food. Sushi King is one of those rare places. For lunch the other day, we decided to try out this restaurant we pass by so often. We wanted quick service for good food, and yet the price...
Read MoreKuala Lumpur: 2 Day Tryst
Kuala Lumpur by Night: The City Sleeps It was nothing but a fling. Something more than a one night stand but not quite enough to be called acquaintances. This was my relationship with KL. It was such a short stay, but I got real intimate with the place. Thanks to Tim. That in the very short and quick 2 days, he managed to show me the potential that KL had. On our last day, we ate at Xiao Fei...
