Cafe de coral - hongkong

Yeah, if you've been following my blog you got it right -- i love Hongkong (and Japan) hahaha! So we visited HK again and we stayed at a different location and hotel just to we try North, South, East and West locations in Hongkong.

Pink's Hotdog

Pink's Hotdog

Pink's Hotdog opened a branch here in the Philippines, at one of the hippiest places in the Metro -- Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. A quick history back track Pink's was founded by Paul and Betty Pink in 1939 as a pushcart near the corner of La Brea and Melrose.

Tim Ho Wan

Tim Ho Wan

For the past few weeks we've been trying out restaurants that we've tried on abroad -- Tim Ho Wan was one. It opened here a few years ago and have been gaining popularity on the hearts of the Filipino.

Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung Philippines

We had previously tried Din Tai Fung in Hongkong which we enjoyed but I guess the popularity is not the same as when it came here in the Philippines. Here for a few months you have to wait for an hour to be seated because there were a lot of people lining up to try it.

IHOP : International House of Pancake

International House of Pancake - IHOP

IHOP -- yep stands for International House of Pancake. For a person like me who loves having breakfast this is a must try. Expensive is the name of the game -- around 350-600 per meal, but hey you gotta try atleast once in your life!

Farmacy Ice Cream and Soda Fountain

Summer is here and what must we do to stay cool and fresh -- eat ICE CREAM! Just on the ground floor of Net Lima building in Taguig is Farmacy Ice Cream and Soda Fountain.

Cafe Seolhwa

Found a bingsu heaven in BGC, its called Cafe Seolhwa. Bingsu or for common lingo is a Korean Shaved Ice. Price is around 200-400 pesos but well worth it.

They have strawberry, mango and brownies as toppings so a lot of choices. Try everything hahaha!

Strawberry Bingsu

Ramen Cool

So for our team's lunch we went to Ramen Cool in Kapitolyo, Pasig. There have been much talks about this restaurant and being a Ramen fanatic, I wanted to try first hand if the price equates to its taste.

Le Petit Soufflé

Le Petit Souffle - 2nd floor Mega fashion hall

One of the best resto I've tried so far, may not come cheap but it's really worth it. Le Petit Soufflé is a French - Japanese concept restaurant by Chef Miko Aspiras and Charlie Paw, with a chic interior and a lot of instagrammable food plating. Taste and looks come perfectly together in this restaurant.

IPPUDO at SM Megamall

Ippudo Philippines

One of the most advertised and awaited Ramen joint here in the Philippines is Ippudo. A franchise from Japan by renowned Ramen King --  Shigemi Kawahara. Not to sound cocky and all but from all the Ramen shops Ive tried here this still is the best.

Makansutra at SM Megamall

Makansutra - SM Megamall

Who says you need to go to Singapore to have a taste of their famous Makansutra food hawker, just go to SM Megamall and have taste of the different cuisines from - Malaysia, Singapore, India and Thailand. Thanks KF Seetoh for bringing it here in Manila. 

Marikina Carnival Food Park

Marikina Carnival Food Park

A lot of food truck park have been opening here in the metro, it's the best way to eat a lot... since there are a lot of choices in one area. You just have to brave the crowd whenever trying a food park, and go a little early since parking for sure would be jampacked.

Located in Mayor Gil Fernando Avenue Marikina, across Tata Motors you can easily get here by Jeep, tricycle or car. One of the easiest commute I could think of if you're not familiar with the area is alight at Santolan LRT 2 station and ride the tricycle (just tell them to bring you to carnival food park at gil fernando), it's about 40PHP.

Where's Marcel?

Where's marcel is a new speciality coffee place we all need. It's originally from Australia with branches in Melbourne and Sydney. Did not know a single thing about this place, but I was too coffee addict not to try this. 

The branch at Pearl Drive opens at 7AM so for early birds you can grab your breakfast here and plus the area is cozy to just chill or have a short morning meeting.

The Dimsum Place

Egg Tart from Thre Dimsum Place

Stumbled upon a new Chinese restaurant in Sta.Lucia East Grand Mall named Dimsum Place. Located at the lower ground of the new Il Centro business condominium near brick road.

Ramen Nagi at Robinsons Magnolia

Ramen Nagi at Robinsons Magnolia Ground Floor

Been out for quiet a while, just gave birth to my beautiful baby girl. But hey, I have loads of pending articles and I haven't finished my Ramen Series. For my 3rd entry, ladies and gentlemen I present to you RAMEN NAGI.

We visited Ramen Nagi after my baby's pedia session, haha we are training the little one to accommodate us on our date. One location of Ramen Nagi is at Robinsons Magnolia, for those who will be commuting it is at a walkable distance from LRT 2 Gilmore Station, so you can alight at that station. 

TAMAGOYA Noodle House : Budget Friendly Ramen House

Continuing my Ramen Series we now move on to a restaurant that have been featured in POP Talk of QTV 11, located near the boundaries of Marikina and Antipolo the hole in the wall ramen house that is known as TAMAGOYA.

A 2-storey building that looks like it really came from Japan, the structures are made of wood and the whole feel of the area is so-Japanese like those we read in Manga's (Japanese Comics) and Anime (Japanese Cartoons). Parking here is not really a big problem since this place is located at a residential area you can actually park on the side of the road, but of course caution must be exercised.

Jipan Cafe and Bakeshop

Jipan Cafe and Bakeshop

I'll be creating a RAMEN series since I think this is what I crave for during my first trimester. This would be Ramen Series #1 : Jipan.

First on my list is JIPAN, located on Megamall A Ground floor. I like the pastries here but this would be the first time I tried their Ramen.

Rustic Mornings by Isabelo

Rustic Mornings by Isabelo

It was a busy morning for me and my husband (yes! my awesome boyfriend and I got hitched last 12.20.2014) since we were hosting a few of my friends from Australia who came to the Philippines to be at our wedding. We wanted them to experience a great breakfast and we thought of bringing them at Rustic Morning by Isabelo. Well this is not the 1st time for me and my hubby, the place is quite near our house so if I would manage to wake up early we go here for breakfast.

Bawai's: Vietnamese Kitchen

Bawai's - Vietnamese Kitchen

This is another one of those after work spontaneous dinner with my boyfriend, we want to try this for quite some time now, but we always backed out since the parking is always full. One night we got lucky as there was one empty parking slot so we decided to finally try Bawai's - Vietnamese Kitchen.

Breakfast at Antonio's

Breakfast at Antonio's

I'm not sure if any of you is a fan of breakfast, because I am definitely a breakfast person. I like eating eggs, pancakes, bacon and cereal any time of the day. I live almost 2 hours away from Tagaytay City so one weekend morning I decided to call my trusty eating buddy (the boyfriend) to come away with me and have brunch at Antonio's.
