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…

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…

Holy Cheesus! A taste of heaven on Earth at Boulangerie22
Unlike other pastry shops and cafe that made it to everyone’s favorites just because of their “Instagrammable” places or trendy food and promos or even high-end drinks, Boulangerie 22 can actually boast more on not just the quality but affordability of their products. I like working off-site whenever my office schedule is not so tight. And every time I need to focus on my tasks and I need to avoid unnecessary talks, I go to the nearest cafe and work there with my headphones and music on. And when it comes to choosing a place, I usually consider four most important work things: Wi-FI connection, electric sockets, great coffee, and yummy pastries and/or…

Marugame Udon: my new go-to Japanese Resto
I know I’ve said this a million times, but again, being a working mom is really exhausting. On weekdays, I go to work at 6am to avoid the heavy traffic, and I log out at around 5pm plus another 1 hour and a half for walking from the office to the FX terminal and waiting for my turn to have a seat, plus another 2 hours travel time. So that’s around 14 hours before I arrive home. Of all the kapoy and hassle and take-home stress, I really need to sometimes take a break. Every time I pass through the Glorietta foodcourt, I notice this Japanese restaurant full of people. One…
