Discover Verbena @ Discovery Suites, Tagaytay

By
Topics: #Restaurants, Tagaytay

I have a theory that if Chef David is not in the house, most of the food are frozen or prepared in advanced so the quality of food is degraded. It is still a lot better than most restaurants in Tagaytay, but since the quality of food is just OK, some would feel that it is over priced.
…We were looking for a new place in Tagaytay but we only find the usual ones which you can’t consider as “bloggable” as my wife and I would call it.

Bistro Filipino by Chef Laudico — Best Filipino Fusion Food!

Topics: #Restaurants, Food

So when I learned that Chef Laudico will be opening a Filipino restaurant in the Fort, I was excited and the timing was perfect for my wife’s Birthday last October 1. … I’m sure you’ll love this too and Je Suis Gourmand (JSG) would now have a match in the Fort 🙂 It is literally two blocks down from JSG and it is located in Net One building along the same road as JSG. One can just walk whenever one restaurant is full but I don’t advise you to do so because I’m sure that both would be full especially on a weekend.

Aloha Polu Kai!

I did not know what to expect when we would say Hawaiian food but you could imagine how the ambiance would feel like. I think this is the first time I’ve eaten in a Hawaiian restaurant so I don’t know if it really should be hot and spicy or is it a fusion of western and asian food. … Soup, Salads and Appetizers Grilled and Main Courses Pizza, Sidings and Desserts BTW, just a word of caution, I’ve eaten in most of the Serendra restaurants and you should expect about 20% premium in most of the restaurants here.

Cupcakes+Sonja: Opening Nights

Sonja is getting a lot of trials and repeat customers which signifies that this is a start of something good 🙂 The place is quite homey with the retro bakeshop feel to it which I believe, perfectly matches with the Serendra concept.
…One of my blog post about Sonja’s has been framed and posted on the wall 🙂 When I asked Sonja for a free copy of the press kit with the CD, I asked her to autograph my press kit copy (naks). … Btw, I only get to know Sonja through my blog and the first time I met her was when I ordered a dozen of the assorted cupcakes .

Mezzaluna-First Night High!

Topics: #Restaurants, Bonifacio Global City

The Chef Miguels (Carlo + brother, Anton who is now in Australia), are famous at one time for catering to special events/ occasions and they usually cooked at the venue itself (could be your own home). I had many failed attempts in the past to schedule such events with these Chefs, and that is why I was so curious to check them out when they opened Mezzaluna in Serendra.
…My wife can’t get enough of it, but we have to be extra careful of the calories that comes with it 🙂 The Angus beef was OK and I had a mistake of ordering medium well which turned out to be well done.

Josephine’s Restaurant — a Filipino Resto experience in Central London

First of all, eating in a restaurant would set us back at least 2 hours and why do we need to eat Filipino cuisine in Central London when I am from the Philippines and going back the next day! … I was already dreaming of eating at least a decent meal in a Filipino restaurant only to find out that there is one and only Filipino restaurant called Josephine’s somewhere around the Oxford shopping area. If you are a tourist and you only have two days, would you spend the time to eat in a Filipino Restaurant in Central London?

Also, you might be wandering where have I been and have not been updating my blog. I don’t usually announce in my blog if I will be traveling outside the country with the hope that I can continue to blog. … Anyway, I’ve been to London, UK and I can’t wait to post my experience.

SINGAPORE FOOD TRIP: Makan Food that did not make the cut

The huge snapper head served was enough for the three of us but with the other food on the table, it was way too much.
…We went straight to Jurong Bird Park after dropping off our luggage to maximize the day so what else was there to eat but the usual fastfood restaurant with their usual burgers. … Biryani Rice with Curry — When I knew that this rice was cooked in pork’s lard, I just couldn’t finish it.

SINGAPORE FOOD TRIP: Makan Food Trip – My Top 10 Favorites!

Just an additional tip if you are going on a Makan food trip: a) bring your own tissue/ water and, b) you can say no to the wet towels and peanuts which usually comes with a fee. … There are two versions the one with clear, aromatic broth that is full of garlic and white pepper and the one with a dark broth full of Chinese herbs that is good for your health.
…They are only open from 6am to 2pm and closed on monday to ensure freshness of the meat which I believe is one of the secret of this pork soup dish.
