Who Doesn’t Love Army Navy?

January 24th, 2012

It’s funny that we decided to eat at Army Navy for our last dinner in Tagaytay when there are tons of Army Navy restaurants back in Manila.

For the record though, it wasn’t our first choice. We were already lined up outside Buon Giorno, which was literally filled to the brim, when the group agreed to move elsewhere. :)

A Bowl of Goodness at The Soup Kitchen

January 17th, 2012

Ever since my officemate told me about The Soup Kitchen, I’ve been slowly dying to dig my tiny spoon into one of their concoctions. And since I’ve reached the limit of my carb quota for the month, I let her take me to The Soup Kitchen in RCBC.

Sunday Brunch at Pancake House

January 15th, 2012

We were ready to drive back to Manila after a weekend Tagaytay getaway with the boyfriend’s friends when we all decided to park near Magallanes Square to grab brunch. It was already past 1PM but none of us had a decent breakfast yet. Nobody wanted to go home and battle a rowdy tummy on the road. :D

A friend of the boyfriend made a reservation (yay!) since Bubba Gump is usually packed during dinner time. We arrived on time and was immediately ushered to our table.

MedChef’s Red Velvet Cake

December 18th, 2011

The name MedChef doesn’t seem to be as fitting a name for a company that churns out wonderfully-crafted baked goodies. I can’t help myself from associating them with medicinal food or something just ’cause their name is a wee bit out of the box–for me, that is.

But then I did my research and found out that the two people behind MedChef came up with this name because they also came from two different backgrounds. One is a true-blue culinary person, Chef Hasset Go. The other is medical technologist Jayson Paul Carlos. You would think that it’s an odd team, but it works. :)
