When I was young, I used to buy Odd Balls in one of the food stalls located just outside the groceries.  I can't remember if it was in Alabang or in Makati.  Anyway, its been a while since I had Odd Balls - it's basically squid balls on  cup - if you order 12 and up. Anyway, a few weeks ago I struck gold and we ... Full story

I've been a big fan of this tapsilogan place ever since it started. The best part is that most of their "silog" dishes range from 45 to 60 bucks. Nowadays, that's a steal! I also love the fact that they serve it with margarine topped with garlic bits "buhaghag" fried rice - yumyum. Here's what I normally do - I pour ... Full story

This post has been delayed for months now.  Hahaha.. Sorry about that.  I took this picture while my office was still in Makati. Anyway, one day I was walking along VA Rufino st and I took the underpass... all of sudden, there it was - a ray of light was shining on the sign and it said... Bun on the run.  Right beside this shoe store ... Full story

First of all, happy end of Ramadan - don't really know how they say it.  Anyway, no work today so we found some time to go back to Fely J's and this time take some quick shots using a mobile phone (last time, we forgot to take pictures - boohoo). So here's a quick review of one of the first restaurants to start getting heavy traffic ... Full story

Last week after watching "Wanted" movie at Rockwell, we decided to go to Gerry's Grill for dinner.  Gerry's grill is an established name in the Philippines, known for great food, laid back ambiance and great sizzling dishes. I remembered the first time we went to Gerry's way back when it still had a big place along Jupiter.  We went there as an army of alcoholics to ... Full story

Last Saturday after waking up at 2 in the afternoon with a nasty hang over, I started to crave for some good old beef mami noodle soup. And I was really hungry so it had to be some place with huge servings or a buffet! All you can eat! Or Eat ... Full story

If you follow my blog (wishful thinking, I know) then you must have read my post about Conti's and their delicious Arroz ala Cubana.  I figured its a simple dish to do, so I did a bit of googling and came up with my own recipe.  Presenting my own version of Arroz ala Cubana: (ground beef, raisins, carrots, eggs, bananas, bonus soup)...

This weekend we ventured to Serendra to try out Conti's known for their baked goodies and home cooked style comfort food. I tried out their Arroz ala Cubana - which is in my top 10 list of favorites. If you're planning to order the caesar salad and just salad for your meal - you should order the "to share" one because the single order, well, its ... Full story

A long time ago, before this blog even existed, I remember enjoying this healthy green side dish from Recipes by Cafe Metro (Greenbelt 2).  It looked simple enough so I attempted to cook it myself.  Besides, I had my fair share of cooking coconut milk based dishes. This is one of the simplest yet gratifying side dishes ever created.  Paired with anything fried and salty - ... Full story

As far as I can remember, my mom has been cooking tapsilog just like the one that you can order from Sinangag Express. The beef is prepared differently not like your typical tapsilog like in Tapa King. This is different because the beef is sort of shredded like adobo flakes but not as dry. For those of you who do not know what Tapsilog ... Full story
