A Meal Fit for an Emperor
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 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 MoreChocolate Comfort at Maitre Chocolatier Boutique Café
Written by: Jane Chua of Between Bites Tuesday night, Bubba, Zips and I trudged to Jupiter Street to meet Eva Wong, the wits behind creative chocolate at the fabulously posh Maitre Chocolatier Boutique Café. Eva is Bubba’s long time friend but she can easily pass off as his cousin as well since they share the same family name. Ambiance was simply perfect Maitre Chocolatier Situated along the...
Read MoreKing One
We, as humans, usually associate things with certain memories. Whether it be a scent of an ex girlfriend of boyfriend, the way your house smells when your mom cooks a certain dish, or even the way your bed feels after a long and tiring day. Last Sunday, I encountered such an event. The night I was leaving for KL, our most awesome boss took us to steam boat place somewhere in Petaling Jaya I...
Read MoreClub 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 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...
