Omakase

Tied with Filipino food, Japanese food is on the top of my list of favorite cuisines. Even if it was out of our way, my friends and I headed to Omakase in Greenhills on a busy Saturday night.

Salmon Sashimi - P220

We started off with ten pieces of fresh salmon goodness.


Miso Soup - P45

Our resident fitness friend always orders miso soup..

Peanut Butter Company

Peanut butter lovers rejoice! PB Co is the first peanut butter themed restaurant in the metro (as far as I know haha).


SM Mall of Asia branch
























You will really notice PB Co because of their bright lights.

Big Daddy's Chicken

I first tasted this version of fried chicken in Taiwan's night market, it's like a breed between fried chicken and pork chop. Maybe that's why they call it chicken chop? Hahaha!

























When I heard that we now have our very own chicken chop here in Manila, I knew I had to try it. I went to the Greenhills branch with my sister and her friend.

BonChon is here!

Whoohoo!! Welcome to Manila, BonChon!

I was so happy when I saw this while walking around Greenbelt!



















One of the best wings I've tasted. I wonder how much the wings are going to be!


Where to find BonChon Chicken (when it opens)
  • Greenbelt 1, Makati

Serenitea - take two!

I take back what I said during my first experience with Serenitea. I have a sweet tooth, so ordering a drink with 50% sweetness level was very wrong. For my succeeding tries, I got the FULL sweetness level - just right for me!


P95 (Large)


Large Okinawa with pearls - this will be my regular drink from now on!

Chicken Charlie

Again, I saw this in one of the blogs I follow. It was described as "Manila's Bonchon crispy chicken." I fell in love with BonChon chicken when I first tried it in New Jersey, so I knew I had to try this!


4 Drumsticks + 4 Wings combo - P289


















Hello there chicken!




















The skin is thin and crispy. I was conscious because the people around us waiting for their orders could hear the crunch in every bite we were taking.

Maitre Chocolatier

Who loves chocolate? I do!! This is my new favorite dessert place!



















Menu looks very posh. I don't even know if I pronounce it correctly!


Golden Euphoria - P250



















Ferrero Hazelnut Crunch cake. You'll really taste the Ferrero crunch in every bite. This is one of their bestsellers. I'm not wondering why!

Gino's Eats & Beats

Thanks to the blogs I follow, I was able to find out about this restaurant along Jupiter. I showed it to my foodie friends and they were eager to try it too.

We got an appetizer while deciding what to order. We decided we'll order five more dishes - one pick per person. I didn't bring my camera, so the pictures are from my friend, Chewy. Thanks for the pics!

Grilled Sausage with Cheese Sauce - P220















After eating this, I researched how to make cheese sauce. I want to eat this everyday! Cheesy-oily goodness!


Garlic Shrimp - ?















Not bad, nothing to rave about. I think the 'Roasted Garlic Chorizo and Shrimp' would be better to try next time.



Som's Noodle House

Because my friend said my entries had too much words, I'll TRY to lessen them for the visual people. A picture is worth a thousand words right?

Everyone was looking forward to our Som's dinner as early as lunch time. I was imagining curry, chicken and milk tea from noon til I got there at night.















The last time I ate here, all of the tables were still outside. That was two years ago I think. Good job for the level up!


Catfish Salad - P150

My first time to try the catfish salad. It was crunchy and flavorful. A perfect combination of sweet and salty with a hint of sour taste!

Flaming Wings

Wings places are suddenly popping up all over the metro. I had a goal - to try all of them! First up: Flaming Wings along Taft Avenue.


























Flaming Wings can be found right across De La Salle University. The place is packed on school days.


Smokey BBQ Buffalo Wings - P143



















There are actually six pieces for the 3-wing order. We didn't know so we ordered too much! You can choose the sauce and the dip of your buffalo wings. This was very soft and tasty and it went well with our ranch dip.
