Luyong (Chinese) Restaurant
We were in Quezon City the other day to bring our younger girl to the doctor for a check-up. After hearing the doctor’s “NOT dengue” verdict, I suddenly rediscovered my appetite which went on a vacation since my daughter got sick on Sunday afternoon. My husband suggested a place that he and his co-workers frequent–a [...]

Zensho Teppanyaki Restaurant and Sushi Bar
One thing about Japanese food is that they’re no good unless freshly prepared. That’s why many say that Saisaki’s eat-all-you-can buffet is second, or even third, class. Zensho Teppanyaki Restaurant and Sushi Bar, along Tomas Morato near the corner of Roces Avenue in Quezon City, has an eat-all-you-can promo too, with a twist. It’s a [...]

Lunch at Manila’s Chinatown - President Restaurant
It was a double celebration of sorts and a family reunion as well last Sunday. My husband celebrated his birthday last month, got a much welcome promotion at work and my brother-in-law Richie is home for a short vacation from Beirut. I would have preferred an all-day swimming party but there was not much time [...]

Chef d’Angelo
If the resolution of the photos seems a little wanting, that’s because they were taken with a phone cam. We were going to see MI 3 about a month ago and we decided to have dinner at Chef d’Angelo’s at Robinson’s Metro East. Since my husband and kids had to occupy a table to make [...]

Pancake House
For reasons only she knew, my 13-year-old daughter Sam had been whining about eating at Pancake House for the past month. Other than her, no one was eager to go. I think that, perhaps, a classmate recommended the place and she was really dying to try the food there. But for her dad and I [...]

Shakey’s Pizza
Before Pizza Hut and Domino’s hit the local scene, pizza was not exactly part of the Filipino’s everyday vocabulary. Probably the only restaurant that offered good pizza was The Italian Village which folded up several years back. There were Magoo’s and DiMark’s but you really have to have a bad craving for pizza to visit [...]

Mushroomburger
With my kids, it’s a sin to go to Tagaytay City and not eat at Mushroomburger. I don’t get too excited about Mushroomburger anymore. When I was working in Makati, there was a Mushroomburger within walking distance from our office building and I’ve had my fill of Mushroomburgers then. But for the kids, who only [...]

Starbucks’ raspberry-flavored blended tea
When my mother-in-law called up last week to tell us about Ava’s birthday lunch party at Kopi Tiam, she told us to be early because restaurants are often full on Mother’s Day. Yeah, we knew that having been victimized often in the past. It isn’t smart ot just walk into a restaurant on Mother’s Day. [...]
