Cafe Shibuya

Whenever I think of a cafe, what instantly comes to my mind is cake and coffee. Toast is something I normally classify as a breakfast food, so when we saw a cafe that specializes on toast as their primary dessert, we thought it was worth giving a shot.

Shrimp Bucket

I love seafood but I'm always discouraged to order it in restaurants because let's face it, there's no better way to eat them than with your hands -- not the most glamorous thing to do when you're surrounded by strangers who might be judging your table manners. I was a bit skeptical about eating in Shrimp Bucket when my friends recommended it precisely for that reason but upon seeing other guests diving right into bags of seafood, getting their hands dirty, I was all aboard.

Ramen Nagi

A couple of friends highly recommended that I try Ramen Nagi. I kept on thinking, how good could noodles be that they keep on raving about it? So one free afternoon, my boyfriend Martin and I decided to try it once and for all. After having a taste of their ramen, let's just say I almost wasn't able to put up this blog post. I had such a hard time describing it because it was so darn good. 

Breakfast at Antonio's

When it comes to birthday celebrations, my family prefers to have a simple and intimate family meal rather than throw a big party. So when my Dad recently celebrated his birthday, we decided to head up to Tagaytay for a much needed change in scenery and a lovely brunch at Breakfast at Antonio's.

Quezon City Food Festival

I can't believe it's already been more than a month since my last blog entry. It just goes to show how busy I've been lately. My blog obviously needed some loving, and what better way to get me back on the blogging wagon than to overwhelm my senses with two kilometers worth of food at Maginhawa Street during the Quezon City Food Festival.

Den in the Kitchen: Steak ala Pobre

Everyone has their own version of how they make steak ala pobre, but an "ala pobre" dish is basically meat that's cooked with lots of garlic and gravy. Whenever my family cooks steak at home, this is how we make it. It's so easy to make but you won't believe how tasty and flavorful it turns out to be! Now, this of course, is unlike the expensive Grade A steaks that you get in a fine dining restaurant, but it's perfect if you want to prepare something special for a relaxed meal at home.

The Big Appetite

Regular readers of my blog know that I love a good burger. As much as I love beef burgers, chicken burgers also have a very special place in my heart considering my love for chicken probably surpasses my affection for any other food. If you're like me who has a big appetite for chicken, there's a new place that will surely make you happy.
