Pino and the Girl Who Loves to Eat :)

 One of the notable food bloggers in Manila is Jin Loves to Eat because she loves eating as much as we do and she probably goes to more restaurants too. 🙂 It was a pleasure meeting her on her birthday when our friend Tina invited a few foodies to try out Chef Ed Bugia’s Pino restaurant. … Continue reading Pino and the Girl Who Loves to Eat 🙂

Sweet Charity Hope Valentine!

Most of the people who watched the show during press night, I think,  had low or no expectation about Sweet Charity. Personally, I was not sure if I can relate to the show and its 1960’s setting, fosse-type of dance choreography, and the concept of a “taxi-dancer” during that era.

Órale! Ole!

Ever since the man behind the once-popular Tequila Joe’s opened Ristras, a Mexican Revival has swept Manila and has led to the opening of really good Mexican restaurants (Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, and other Mexican variations) in the metro.

Stacy’s @ Greenstreet

Stacy’s is like a full-blown Sonja’s resto with interiors inspired by Martha Stewart. It is a family-friendly restaurant in Capitol Hills serving home-cooked comfort food. It’s cute, designed for kids, and a place with all-day breakfast goodness. I guess you could consider it the Conti’s of QC. Stacy’s is the first restaurant venture of partners Aby Natividad-Nachura (the … Continue reading Stacy’s @ Greenstreet
