    5 of the best dishes you shouldn’t miss when dining in Dean & DeLuca

    What I love about Dean & DeLuca is that they offer healthy and organic dishes such as salads, pastas, sandwiches and pastries so unique that people will definitely come again and get more. Dean & DeLuca put the utmost pride and dedication into the quality and taste of their food, wherever they go. One thing I love doing is trying out restaurants -even familiar brands- and (subconsciously) compare their dishes to other branch of the same brand, if that makes sense. Mostly, one big difference would be the service and ambiance, but most importantly, the quality of their food is what makes people come and dine again. Another thing I…

    Family Valentine Dinner at Neil’s Kitchen, Glorietta

    I’ve read sooo many good reviews about this restaurant in Alabang. Good food, good ambiance, perfect for all kinds of dinner dates with our loved ones. However, it’s too far from our place (probably will cost me 700php+ per Grab trip) so I wasn’t able to visit the restaurant with my family. So I was super excited when I learned they’re opening a branch in Glorietta, Makati, where I and my family usually go when we’re bored at home. I mean yey andito na yung sinasabi nilang masarap! Plus my sister really loved the food there and in fact suggested it for our next family food trip. Sitting just beside…

    Enjoy affordable Japanese eats at Kaito Japanese Carinderia in Makati

    I looooove Japanese cuisine, though I haven’t been to Japan yet (omg, I just realized I have to go there soon). But I know I’m having an authentic Japanese dish when Japanese friends invite me to a Japanese restaurant. I’m not sure about you, but I noticed Japanese people are a bit picky on what they eat and are very sensitive on different spices we commonly use for our Pinoy meals. So I am really a fan of those who can pull off a full-menu fusion of not just dishes but flavors from different cuisines and cultural taste. Most of the good (and even best) Japanese restaurants in the Philippines…

    My first Pares experience! And yes, it’s worth the one-hour travel!

    I was in a food trip with a friend last week and just out of nowhere I just thought I haven’t had a bowl of pares yet, as in EVERRR. I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews of different versions of pares around the Metro, but I also am aware there is this one place where you can actually find the best pares in town. Back when I was in grade school or maybe high school (gosh, I feel old), I remember, along the main street near our house was a line of stalls serving goto, lugaw, mami, pares and I didn’t know what else. That place were very…

    Forever FavorEATS: 9 creative MESA dishes we love

    Filipinos are admittedly “foodies” in nature. We love cooking, we love trying out unusual dishes, we eat out and get inspirations from different foreign cuisines we love. In fact, people from around the world are starting to fall in love with our Pinoy food favorites as well. How cool is that? Since the market of the food industry is growing fast, it really is fortunate that we Filipinos don’t just love eating, but we are also passionate about leveling up our Pinoy cooking resulting in many innovative dishes offering world-class flavors and quality. Just notice those Pinoy restaurants that are operating for decades already and still attracting new customers while…
