The 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...
Read MoreYa Kun Kaya Toast
When Carlos invited me to review Ya Kun Kaya Toast for Foodie Manila, it took less than twenty seconds for me to reply with a resounding YES. Ya Kun Kaya Toast in Pasig is one of the latest word-of-mouth wonders to hit the local foodie joint — a coffee shop which I’ve been hankering for a trip for since writing this recent entry. And so we planned that after our Saturday run in...

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 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...
