The Ortigas Center is my default Go-To area whenever we have that urge of pigging-out. Haha! and why not? Whenever we’re in the vicinity of Ortigas it feels like we’re right at the core of the gastronomic universe. Yay! They practically have it all here. Imagine atleast four major malls
Celebrating the Yuletide Season always comes with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

For a quick, easy and hearty breakfast, I am sharing my Western Style Omelet in classic diner-style overstuffed package brimming with mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, and basil. A perfect match with either rice or bread –maybe served not only for breakfast, but as side dish in any lunch or dinner
Sugar High. I should start by saying I am not a big fan of cakes and pies. Like any other foodie when it comes to pastries and cakes I used to just eat those chocolate icings and confectionaries, indulge on those colorful glaze & frostings and leave the BORING spongy part
A rapidly increasing trend right now in the party and events organizing industry is putting up a candy bar or candy buffet (also called dessert buffet) aside from the party’s main food entree. A candy buffet gives an exciting twist to every party and fulfills the sweet-toothed dream of having
My all-time-favorite pizza place never cease to amaze me. It impressed me how through these years it has lived to its mantra, “Makin it Great!” I grew up a pizza lover… a Pizza Hut lover at that, and have witnessed how it has evolved (and still evolving) from the
A gloomy weather can sometimes ruin even the cheeriest moods. I’m not sure if it’s just me, or do we all get that boredom blues and sudden urge to go outside as soon as it starts raining? In my case, that sudden desperation to go camping? hehehe! One of the

When it comes to food trips, New York City is my “happy place” no questions asked. We would drive all the way from New Jersey to the City that Never Sleeps, to have a taste of the best dumplings in China Town, or take the PATH Train to the 33rd
In this post you’ll be seeing plenty to keep you gastronomically craving for some of Jersey City’s best bites. These may not be among the top restos, but they sure are our faves! Let’s start with… All-You-Can-Eat Hibachi Grill Buffet selection is a good staple. Good quality for a buffet
I made one smart move in one of my adventures (literally and figuratively) as a mommy, and I’d like to share it with you. Spending the holidays in New Jersey has become an even bigger deal for my family since it was my daughter’s very first international trip.. and
I guess I’am one of the Pinoys who would not let a Christmas Season pass by without getting me at least a bite of two of Pinoys holiday comfort foods, the ‘stars of the season’… Bibingka and Puto Bumbong! Many Filipinos crave for these well-loved delicacies especially after attending the
