Syudad by Barrio Fiesta: bringing the neighborhood feast to the city
We’ve tried a lot of Filipino restaurants from around the country, and we have to admit, we cannot compare them as they have different cooking styles. And that is why we all love Pinoy dishes. We barely get used to adobo, dinuguan, crispy pata, pancit, and even kakanin because when we get the chance to try it in different places, we get to eat different versions as well. Pinoy food is never “nakakasawa“. On our recent visit, Syudad served us some of their best-sellers: Click bullet items for photos. Sinalab (P825*). A mix of grilled seafood (chicken, pork, hito, bangus, halaan, pusit, tahong , crab, talong and ensaladang mangga) served with pata…

Unleash your inner “camper” at CAMP Curry at Ayala Triangle, Makati
I am a traveler myself and I looove camping. At our age, you gotta make the most out of life, try being adventurous, and experience new things before you run out of time. It’s been actually more than a year since I last escaped the city life and hiked and camped. So the news that we were going to experience “camping” in the city made me really excited. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first and only campsite-themed restaurant in Makati, specifically within CBD (Central Business District). Located in Ayala Triangle Gardens, CAMP Curry is perfect for travelers like me (and for non-travelers as well) to experience the camping vibes…

Find your new Pinoy food favorites in Savor Park Cafe in Makati
The usual Filipino food is usually a variety of influences from different countries such as Spanish, Chinese, Malay, Indian, American and many more. Coming from these inspirations we came up to signature dishes like adobo (usually chicken or pork marinated in a soy-vinegar base) and lechon (roasted pig). Filipino cuisine goes beyond meat, though. People appreciate seafood dishes as well as vegetables and even fruit. Since the country is very wealthy of spices, we can cook almost everything from delicious bowls of soup and plates of crispy-fried produce. Since Filipino favorites are usually served all over each and every area in Manila, some of us are honestly getting tired of…

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…

Slammin’ Burger and Fries
I am a burger fan since I first knew what a “burger” is. I honestly declare myself as the Jughead of my own Archie world, and the Dean of my own Supernatural world. I literally can survive a week eating just burgers, but of course I won’t try. Slammin’ was actually named Slammers before they rebranded on 2013. They leveled-up the menu, added more flavors of burgers, the plating, and overall appearance was improved. I didn’t get to try their old recipe, but I bet today’s burgers are worth the upgrade. One of the burgers I just recently had is the Hawaiian Slider from Slammin’. A 100% beef patty sandwiched…
