Cafe Amarela: our newest discovery in Marikina you should definitely visit
Marikina is more known as the shoe capital of the Philippines because of it’s continuously growing shoe industry. But aside from being the home of the largest pair of shoes, one of the first thing that comes up to people’s minds when talking about Marikina is the word “food trip”. The food business in the city, as we can notice, is booming. But what you can see on Facebook and Instagram now is not yet half of their abundance of undiscovered and underrated restaurants, food hubs, and cafes that would definitely make your long drive (and long traffic) worth it! We think we just discovered another hidden gem in San…

5 things you should know if you haven’t gone yet to Oktoberfest Manila + a quick photodump!
This is not the first Oktoberfest I’ve had attended, but this is the first time I’ll be writing about the awesome experience. My first one (it was like 3 or 4 years ago) was locally hosted by San Miguel, the biggest beer brand in the Philippines, and it was super fun! I met some famous celebrities, I sang along with strangers while my favorite Pinoy rock bands were performing, that was the first time I experienced dancing, jumping up and down with the crowd, enjoying a drink, singing, and laughing. One of our definitions of YOLO. Lol. I only tried it once, with trusted friends, of course. Because beers are…

Jipan: more than just bread and coffee
Jipan is well-known as one of the homes of good breads and other pastries. I mean, no one can deny that Japanese breads are one of the most loved pastries in the market – soft, tasty, and affordable. Itching for new eats in the metro? Me and my sis never thought of dining in JiPan like ever because we knew it only with their breads. Jipan, apparently, is a cafe/ bakeshop offering authentic and quality Japanese food served fresh on the table. From breads, to sushi, ramen, even mochi donuts. I have to say that this is one of the best Japanese cafes I’ve ever been to. Glorietta is one of our…

Bulacan Lugaw Kitchen is now in Greenhills!
Pinoy lugaw or rice porridge is every Filipino’s favorite. Even my mom loves to cook one whenever we request her to. Just one simple hot bowl of lugaw topped with garlic bits is very satisfying. Especially now that “ber” months are already here, lugaw is one of the top cravings of every Pinoy in town. It’s already been almost a year since we last reviewed Bulacan Lugaw Kitchen (BLK) and yet, the taste of their specialties never faded. In fact, they became more interesting as BLK added new items on their menu, especially made with authentic Bulacan recipe. Our recent BLK experience is quite a challenge to write as we got to try almost all the items…

Granny’s Kitchen: Chicken Curry Recipe
Today’s interview with my mom was kinda funny because my dad and my sis was also there and they have different ways of cooking Chicken Curry and they have a loooooot to say and argue about. I had to Google it as well but to no use because people apparently cook food in many different ways. And when you ask my mom how did you do this or what’s next, shell just say “bahala na sila kung anong una.” Ha! Indeed a crazy rich Asian. By the way, this one’s our dinner last night and I really love it especially the potatoes. I love chicken, but I love potatoes more…
