Caviar On Pasta & Crispy Tiramisu

dessets at Cibo

Believe it or not, this visit to Cibo was only my second. My very first visit with a friend of mine I only tried the panini sandwiches and those were the Praga and the Panino Porchetta. So when deciding on which resto I would dine right after the New Year revelry, Cibo was my easiest choice.

An Upscale Bakery Cafe w/ The Best Croque Madame In Town

croque madame at Wildflour

Hands down, this is the most extravagant bakery cafe that I've ever been too. I've been planning to dine at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery for quite sometime now, however I always get sidetrack for one reason or another. But last year (which was really like a few weeks ago), I decided to end year 2012---and my food trip chronicle---with a bang. Hence this visit to this swanking bakery cafe in Bonifacio Global City.

An Honest To Goodness Jap Food In Cainta

food at Gyoza Tei

This dine at Gyoza Tei Fushione Sushi Bar was more of a chance thing. I had a minor disagreement with my Nanay that prompted me to travel all the way to Cainta in the middle of the night, in the Q Plaza area to be exact where I used to work to iron out some business with my former company. Right after that, I went to the Bonanza Arcade near Brickroad with hopes to try the milk tea at Teapsy. Apparently, the milk tea place don't compete with the rest of the watering hole establishments on that strip and closes early. I could possibly had gone back to Hassan Kabab & Steak to try out their ox brain which I heard is insanely good. But Hassan was insanely crowded that night. So, I decided to try out its next door neighbor which is Gyoza Tei.

Anchors Away, Army Navy!

Libertea, Freedom Fries & Starving Sailor

There's no doubt that Army Navy Burger & Burrito is the most popular fastfood chain in the metro today. It's the current "it" burger place, evident with a number of its stores that sprouted on strategic geographical locations last year. Most of my friends prefer Army Navy as their go to place whenever they crave for a good sized burger, partnered of course with some Freedom Fries and Libertea. But Army Navy offers more than just burgers, fries and their famous iced tea.

Rustic Italian Food At Piadina

food at Piadina

Piadina is an Italian flatbread traditionally prepared using a terracota dish and usually sold in the region of Ravenna and Rimini. But no need to travel all the way to Italy to enjoy this Italian treat since one could have it within reach on any of the Piadina Italian Passion Food branches in the metro.

Binging At A Bar On The Night Of The Eclipse

at Rue Bourbon

Truth be told, I very seldom go to bars and clubs that nocturnal people seems to inhabit every night after the sun goes down. Since my predilection is more on food rather than alcoholic drinks, I only went to such places if I'm with my beer-drinking friends and colleagues who can't seem to have enough alcohol ingested into their system. Not that I don't enjoy drinking those fizzy, bubbly liquids with its inherent sweetness and a trailing of bitterness at the end. 'Cause I do. I also enjoy the unabashed merriment brought about by alcohol amongst groups that may lead you to do things that you might laugh out loud the morning after, or something that deem too ridiculous that you would be ashamed to share it after the effects of alcohol had diminish. So, it came to me as a surprise when I chose Rue Bourbon to spend a few hours of my night right after work.

One Day In Kapitolyo

gyoza and ramen at Ramen Cool

Going to Kapitolyo, Pasig is always an adventure for me. There always seem to be something new to try whenever I'm here. I envy the people who live nearby since good food are within their easy reach just like my friend, Dyce. I wouldn't mind filling in her shoes even for just a week to enjoy the same privilege.
