Just got back from a trip to Singapore! Must say that I have Singapoh hangover. What I like most about the place is how effective their transport system is. All you have to do is buy a prepaid EZ Pass card and your train, bus, cab fairs are all solved! It would really take an extra effort from you to get lost in this city.Just take a look at their MTR map! How efficient, see!The Cable Car to

I am not ashamed to say it, I am in loooove with the Tudors. I am obssessed about their family tree, about Henry VIII and his many many wives, I am even obssessed with Jonathan Rhys Meyers (he really is hot)!!I enjoy hating the Boleyn sisters and feeling bad for the first wife. I enjoy seeing how romantic courtship used to be, yet realizing how comfortably different we live now. Yes the scenes

I most certainly liked the first movie much much more. Also, one would have to be vaguely familiar with the characters from the first movie to be able to completely relate to this one.The idea of having Nicholas Cage play a love lost character was a bit edging into creepy. Come on, this was the guy who made us all swoon in City of Angels.The only parts I liked in this movie were the brief (albeit

Singapore this coming weekend!! I hope some of you can give me tips on which restaus to try, where the best Hainanese chicken Chicken, Kaya toasts, Bak Kut Teh, Laksa and Chili Crabs are!I'm so excited to go on this trip! Can't wait to try authentic hawker food! Will definitely be taking lots and lots of pictures!

It's been a whole year already! I can't believe it. This year, I had several cakes (4 in fact). Some given by vendors, but the best one we bought. This year I chose the Blueberry Cheesecake from Conti's.I find it to be much too sweet for my taste. The cream cheese is a bit rubbery. I still think that Gateau de Manille serves the best Blueberry Cheesecake at the best price.

Wanted to celebrate my birthday with my favorite Thai dish, so far only to be found in Thai at Silk, only to discover that they had taken the item out of their menu. Ended up celebrating in Guava and had (no pictures today):Mongonisa Nothing spectacular except for the Longganisang Lucban included in the dish.Ginisang Gulay in Bihod Sauce This was very very good.

This really is the best dessert place in Serendra/BHS! Glad to see that more people have discovered the place. I'm just a wee bit concerned that service and ambience is starting to step down a notch compared to the last time we were here.What we tried:Almond Espresso Cheesecake Php95Very very good. Would have been better if the espresso part of the cheesecake was stronger. I also think that

Boy! What a looong name! We call it "New Orleans" for short. Got there at around 8pm, got a table at around 9:15! The wait list wasn't that very long, it was just that customer turnover was slow. Probably because service was slow too.The place was very small, but very alive. It could have been the slightest bit bigger. I loved the over all decor in the area. It was like a mini-Bourbon street

I go through phases. Once I went through a pizza phase wherein all I would eat was pizza, I also went through a chili sauce phase, an egg phase, a koko krunch phase...you get the idea.. And now I'm going through a waffle phase. I wake up in the morning thinking about waffles and sleep at night dreaming about them. Have eaten in pancake house, gram's diner and heaven n' eggs in the past week.

I am just speechless. I am utterly saddened by the death of Heath Ledger. I really think that he's a promising actor. Loved him in 10 things i hate about you, was looking forward to his portrayal of Joker in the new Batman movie. It's so sad. I am so affected.Have been watching Sex and the City the past few nights, can't bear to watch it anymore because the actor playing "Aidan" sort of reminds

i{content: normal !important}Ran into an ex today. Couldn't find the courage to cross paths with him. Turned around and walked the other way. Hid behind some plants, "spied" on him. Then I wondered, where does the love for an ex partner go? It definitely never goes away. Those times you see him and pangs of anger/ irritation/ happiness/excitement/ whatsoever comes over you only means that

I'm feeling lost. When these kinds of situations used to happen to me, I used to be able to get through it by talking it over with some friends over a cup of coffee or a piece of cake. But this time, I just can't find the strength to tell anyone. Matter of factly, I don't even know what's wrong!Been locked up in my room for days now.

I wanted to see it even before it started production because (hot) Patrick Dempsey was in it. I'm glad it didn't disappoint. Enchanted is a grown woman's fairytale. To add even more glee, it's Disney! Impossible to go wrong with Disney! I don't want to make this entry a spoiler.

Accidentally stumbled upon this website (www.munchpunch.com) that features restaurants from all over. They sometimes even have menus of the restaus, something I find very useful when planning ahead, on a budget or when looking for a certain dish. They also offer reviews from other diners and even discounts at times.I've been waiting and looking for a site like this for so long now. I hope they

My friend got so excited when she saw this in Greenbelt 5. She's apparently heard so much about the bakery but had never gotten around to visiting the place since it was somewhere in Pasig. We had to come back like 6 times before we actually got seats. Only 4-6 (if you don't mind sharing with strangers) tables are available. I don't really get why they chose the tables and chairs that they did.

My very first restaurant to eat in at Greenbelt 5. I loved the interiors, the table settings and even the ambience. You really kind of feel like you're really in an aquarium. I even like those submarine like windows peering over the kitchen which my friend found to be freaky. Make no mistake, the food is definitely Filipino mixed with foreign influences (I can only assume that the menu was

This time we had dinner in Chelsea. Was finally able to get their complimentary bread with some roasted garlic. yum! That alone and I was already full! These are what we had:Grandma's Crispy Duck Confit and Mushroom Risotto Php 295- I very much enjoyed the roasted peppercorn sauce. Also, it's final, duck just really isn't my kind of protein.Juicy Whole Garlic Rosemary Lemon Roasted Chicken Php495

Was intrigued by Marvin Agustin's DSL commercial so we decided to dine here one time. No pictures this time folks! We tried the:California Maki Salad Php150- Was disappointed by this salad. Nothing more that some mangoes and shrimp tossed in greens.Beef Enoki Php 245- Enoki mushrooms wrapped tight in fried beef. Was really looking forward to this dish. Was disappinted by how tough the enoki was.

Had a simple yet sinful ravioli in Mezze the other day. The exact name and price of the dish escapes me right now. This a definite and cheaper alternative to my favorite ravioli dish in CPK (which is close to 600 pesos now!). I loved the restaurant's interiors and quirky plates and table settings. Must come back to try their cocktails.

On a very late lunch, yet very early dinner with two of my bested friends, we decided to eat at Chelsea and these are what we ate:Caprese Extreme Php 220Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, sagada oranges and arugula pesto. Nothing spectacular. The oranges were very refreshing though. Serving was small for the price.Gridled Farmer's Ham and Edam Cheese Sandwich Php250Has mesclun greens and potato wedges

For my first review after a looong lull, I have the ever so controversial Cyma found in Greenbelt 2. As expected, there was a long waiting line. Lucky for me, there were only 4 of us dining that time, beating out a lot of other groups ahead of us in the waiting list. Here are what we ate:Saganaki (Flaming Cheese) Php 165Very controversial. Plainly put, it's just melted cheese served piping hot

I didn't really watch the cartoons before. I am not a fan. I have no idea what the story is line. All I know is that there are robots who, well, transform. I went inside the cinema with a blank slate.Well, I was in for a treat! I loved the movie! I loved the cast, the story, the way it was made, the fight scenes, the special effects and Josh Duhamel!

Szechuan food generally connates spiciness and all that pepper on the food. The food in this restau however was the least bit spicy. It's a great place to go to if you want to get good Chinese food that doesn't come from a box. Even better is that the food servings are meant to be shared!

This is a quaint restau inBirch St, Brea, CA. They have huge servings here and give these bean appetizers which the other people with me liked and I didn't. I got there "bento box" though they didn't call it that. What it is essentially is that you can mix and match 2 dishes from their list of viands for $8.45.I got Japanese spring rolls with a house plum sauce and barbecue chicken. The spring

Deciding between Miss Dessert of Sonja's Cupcakes was a no brainer. We're all so tired of cupcakes and I think that the hype has (finally) died down. When we went inside Miss Desserts, we were so attracted to their display case we wanted to order everything! After calming down, we decided to go with these:Fantasia Slice Php130This was heavenly!

The place is really perfect for long conversations. My friends and I had a 3 hour lunch there recently and I was pleased that our servers were all very attentive and patient with us, not to mention we were making so much noise! I love the butter they served with their complimentary bread. They also gave us a second round for free. The prices of the food may be pricey but at least it is VAT

One night we had dinner so late that there were no other food options on the road. We ended up in The Cookery which is really a trucker's rest area. Not the best crowd.I was able to taste the Atlantic Salmon $½ lb grilled-to-order Atlantic salmon topped with buttery garlic sauce served with choice of side and garlic bread. Not the best salmon.Spicy Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Fettuccini $One dozen

We went to Martha's Vineyard and wanted to have some fresh seafood for lunch. After much walking we found Zephrus and immediately went inside. We were glad that there was some seafood in the menu. They weren't prepared as "fresh" as we would have wanted but I guess the typical sandwiches would suffice. Here's what we had:Clam Chowda' $5Rich in clams, light cream, potatoes, bacon and Island

Had dinner here and was welcomed by a looong salad table that I sadly have no proper picture of.They have everything you can ever think off of putting in a salad. They also have about 7 dressings to choose from and have ready made beet, macaroni and potato salads as well.But what I did order though was a 'handmade' burger.Bacon Avocado Turkey Burger $With applewood smoked bacon, fresh avocado

Red Lobster has the best (free) biscuits among all the fast food chains in Northern America. They ahve the right amount of cheese in them and are perfectly soft on the inside yet crusty on the outside. This alone can be my complete meal already!

Ate at an Arby's in Tennesee. We were so happy there was a 5 for $5 promo! What it is really is that you pick 5 items from a preset list they had and everything would just be $5. Isn't that awesome? Among the choices were a roast beef sandwich (so tender!), ham sandwich, curly fries, shake, medium drink, turnover, mozzarella sticks and several others I can't remember.

This is a great place for bistro type dining and I think their menu is much better than that of Friday's or Chili's. Here's what I was able to try:Spinach and Artichoke Dip $6.99As breathtaking as the big dipper. Creamy spinach and tender artichokes served warm with tomato salsa, sour cream and tortilla chips. This was a great start to a great meal. You can really tell that the tortilla chips are

I absolutely love!! IHOP which stands for International House of Pancakes. Don't be mislead though, they serve more than just pancakes! They serve everything from breakfast food to burgers to Mexican inspired dishes. Ofcourse there's that homey feel to their food that every good  diner should really have. To give you,  my dear reader, an idea of what they serve read on and find out.BBQ Bacon

A trip to the United States is never complete for me unless I get to eat in Cracker Barrel. Possibly one the best places for me to eat in there. While on our road trip, we passed by 17 of these and finally decided to stop by in the last one there was somewhere around Tennesee. Boy was I greatly disappointed! A lot of the dishes we wanted weren't available and the food we did oreder was bad!

Who knew catfish was a specialty in Texas? I sure didn't. I was able to try their famous catfish dish which I sadly did not have a picture of. It was catfish fillets that was dipped in a heavy batter then rolled in something else. Bad description huh? Anyway, trust that it was good. What I did order though and ahve a picture of is thePopcorn Shrimp $The shrimps were very fresh and was fried

I was in the Getty Museum recently. It's such a beautiful place to see. Best of all, it's free. Hey! I made a rhyme!I was debating with myself on where to have lunch. I had 3 choices. 1 eat at the cafe but there was nothing really there except for coffee and scones 2 eat at the al fresco restau 3 eat at the fine dining restauAlthough the prices are much much higher, I decided to go with the last

This is a more formal Italian restaurant I was able to eat in at Pasadena. They have an extensive menu and it took me some time in deciding what I wanted because everything sounded so good. They served really really good foccacia that made Italliani's foccacia seem like pandesal to me! I got so full from the foccacia I wanted to order something light and decided on GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWER $8.95

My dad had been bugging me to try the burgers here. He said that there was this certain burger here that was wrapped in lettuce instead of the traditional bread bun. Yes, all the fixings were there just less the carbs. It was filling but I sorely missed the bread. I guess I'm not that healthy of an eater just yet.Look at all those fries!!! Obviously I wasn't able to finish it all. Ooh. I also

This place is in the middle of being an Italian eatery and a fine dining Italian restau. They serve unlimited garden salad and bread servings. I was able to try this in Orange County and this is what I ordered:Shrimp and Lobster Fettucini $18This was so good! I couldn't get enough of it. I finished it all by myself. Only problem was that it was so rich, I was sure I was gaining weight while

Finally finally was able to eat here. Have been wanting to longer than I wanted to try Chelsea. When we first got to the place, I was perturbed by their door entrance. It wasn't anything amusing. I was told that the place is such a mix of decor taste and I was let down by their door. But boy was I wrong! The place was so cool! So kitschy-voodoo-theater-eccentric cool! Main theme was red and there

For a deep red color with great mileage, I likeMAC's New York AppleFor a barely there pinkI like MAC's Skew. This is the only light pink color that looks good on me. I'm quite tanned and this lipcolor is still flattering. In fact, I think it actually brightens my face.For a deeper pinkMAC's See Sheer is good. But I prefer MAC's Housewine for a true pink color.

After the long wait, I was finally able to eat here. Had an early dinner with my bestfriend. Right away, I noticed that they had changed the menu from the last time I was able to see it. They are still in their soft opening stages and are probably still getting a feel of the market. A lot were removed from the menu, and a lot were added also. More noticeable however was the change in the prices

My parents own a condo unit in Rada Street and so I had the chance to eat here today. I first heard about this place from wysgal and have been interested in trying it out ever since! The place is really small, service was fast and the servings were generous. What I liked most about the place was that the servers were very well informed of the dishes in the menu. I asked them so many many

First of all, I think the name 'Bananapple' would have been cuter but that's besides the point. This place serves really delectably sweet desserts! I think they have the tendency to over sweeten their cakes but that's okay with me. I just eat the cake a little more slowly and enjoy every bite of it. I was in my (old, sob) school yesterday and was finally able to have the chance to try their cakes

Went to Serendra for lunch. We were supposed to eat at Chelsea, the main reason we went to Serendra even if there were not that many stores there yet. We were ushered inside, sat down, served water then was told that they didn't serve any real food for lunch. Only desserts. The earliest they could serve would be around 3pm since they were still in their soft opening stages. Well, we were starved

Been meaning to eat here for the longest time, but was only able to have the chance to do so last week. As I had expected, service was good. In fact, I think they were overstaffed. They were very very prompt in refilling my water glass and offering me rice when I was running low. It was as if they had their eyes glued on us. Spooky. Haha. Anyways, here's what we tried:Tom Yum Kai Php190Our half

I honestly thought the company had closed down here in the Phils. One day we decided to make a study on the company on why it had closed down, why it failed in the market. Boy were we shocked when we suddenly started to see posters/banners of Domino's Pizza all over the Metro. haha. Ironic much?

My favorite movie as of late. I am so loving this! And I'm quite sure that I am not alone, wherever I go, school, mall, park or party, I hear people talking about scenes from the movie, the characters and sometimes I even hear them chanting that infamous chant "Ahu ahu ahu" (I really don't know how else to spell that). It's a great movie. Really. I loved the effects, the story. I loved the

Hotel InterContinental Manila's Gambrinus Bar will be offering a DANISH Buffet from April 26-May 10 for both lunch and dinner. There will also be some interpretative readings of well loved Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersens's fairy tales. Ms. Pernille Harboe from Denmark is the mastermind of the dishes.

Oh my gosh! Did you hear? Amici di Don Bosco will be closing soon! Oh my!! My gelato!!!..... I'm not sure if this is the real reason but I was told that it was closing because some people higher up in their order felt that the priests who were cooking were losing perspective of what it is they really should be doing. They've been so busines oriented that they lost track of their other (charitable

We had a reason to celebrate when we ate here. They actually have no food available for a la carte. When they handed me a menu, I thought they did but it turned out to be a verrry detailed drink menu. They had very limited choices in the buffet. One dish per kind of meat only. That night they had a salad, a white sauced pasta dish, steamed vegetables, rice, fish fillet and a chicken dish. They

Though I don't like the food nor the ambience here, it really is still a good place for large parties and merry drinking. A friend celebrated his birthday there recently and these were what we got:Chopsuey Php140This was really plain and a tad bit salty.Crispy Para Php 385Pork pork and more pork.Inihaw na Manok Php195I didn't like this because it was undercooked.Inihaw na Pusit Php 58/100gDidn't

Best and most affordable place for dessert! I wasn't able to get the prices anymore but I'm sure all of them are from Php 45- 80 max! As of late, these are what I have been able to try:Carrot SliceThis was good. The carrot-ness of the cake was kept at a minimum which was great. Death by TableaThis should be called "Heaven in a Slice" the most delectable chocolate cake I have tasted in a long time

Passed by to cap a long day off. Tried the Mangojito Php 95This was okay. The mixture of the mango puree and mint leaves were not that pleasing for me. Although this is supposedly an award winning concoction. So maybe you should give it a try too! Lucky us, the drinks were 50% off at the time we were there. Weird, drinks were 50% off during happy hour and not during the dead hours. haha. Anyway,

I am so glad a branch opened in Shangri-la Mall. As a matter of fact, there's a whole slew of interesting new restaus in Shang. Gives me a totally new reason to start visiting the mall again. My dad has been telling me since forever that the food in Green Tomato was good and finally I was able to try them.Oriental Shrimp Pasta Php 225Has shrimps, cilantro, bell pepper in spaghetti noodles.

Always wanted to try this place in MOA. Their menu is a mix of Indian and Pakistani cuisine. A tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven in which food is cooked over a hot charcoal fire. With this in mind, I was really excited to try their chicken and see what its effect on the chicken skin would be like.The place seems almost like a fast food restaurant but isn't. The menu was also quite limited. We

Relatively new Italian restuarant in Casa Susana, Alabang. Good ambience, good food, reasonably priced. My one and only con would be that I thinked they are overstaffed and yet are not that attentive to the customers. They served a very freshly baked bread basket which we were not able to finish, with liver pate and butter. Here are what we ordered:Salumi Misti Picanti- A sample of their house

 We came back for more! I must say that I liked the soup and salads from my previous visit but liked the main courses here much much more. Here's what we ateCream of Potato and Leak SoupRoastbeefWith mustard and horseradish. I don't like their gravy though.Cheeses and CutsWish I knew what those cheeses were....SaladWatermelo and Red Onion Salad- I liked how they made the watermelons taste

 Another birthday celebration for my mom, this time I was able to try the:Misato Tofu Special Php185Described as "Tofu platter with minced pork and carrots in special sauce." I liked this one, the tofu was cooked just right, with a crispy battered outside and tender inside. The sauce was good tasting too.Tuna Sashimi Php230I don't eat sashimi.Crazy Maki Php250This is realllllly goooood. That

My mom's birthday celebration continues. We decided to try The Cafe at Dusit Hotel Nikko. The ambience here is more subdued than those of the other buffets I've been to. It's more relaxing to eat here as opposed to other buffets where there is a mad rush of people when new dishes are being served. I love their salads and desserts. For Php650++ we were able to try the following:Cream of Roasted

Quaint movie. I found it to be okay. I'm naturally interested in movies about people from the past (i.e. Marie Antoinette) who affect society today. I must say that Sienna Miller looks so much alike withEdie Sedgewick. Guy Pearce perfectly portrayed the Andy Warhol I had imagined (since I've neverseen him on t.v. or anything). Now I understand why it was called Factory Girl. Hayden Christensen

Have better pictures now. Tried theBruschetta Php275It was good but a bit expenseve for its price.  Bread was baked just right and toppings were generous.Calamare Salad Php270This was very good! It was not really a salad. More of calamares as appetizers. There was hardly any dressing for the salad. Plus there was a big dollop of ketchup at the side of the plate. We were really not sure what to do

We ate at the Dampa near Mall of Asia yesterday (I'm really not sure what it's properly called). What I love about dampas is that you actually get to buy your  own seafoods and pick out the choicest ones amongst the bunch! I personally love the shrimp and prawn section! There are so many to choose from!!! After you've chosen your seafood, you then pick one of the restau around the area where they

Could Taye Diggs get any hotter??? This is a true blue chick flick; yet it tries to desperately showwomen empowerment. It really pars well compared to the other romanti comedies out there and yet it was still able to maintain its substance. Great acting from Heather Graham.

 If I had seen this movie four years ago, I probably would have never finished it and would have completely forgotten that it had even existed. However, when I saw this yesterday, I was quite engrossed in the film; and I watched all 2 hours of it. It tells of how man seeks to feel 'alive' even if it means hurting other people to attain this; and realizing that physical fulfillment is not all that

This movie was hilarious in a very subtle way. I decided to watch it because Hugh Jackman is in it,and I've been a fan ever since I saw him in X-men where he portrayed the role of Wolverine very intensely. This movie was no different, though he had very little parts compared to those of Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson, he was able to give substance to his character.  Woody Allen's portrayal of

Appetizer Sampler Php160You can choose any 3 of the appetizers they have, which they serve in smaller sizes with 2 plain pita breads.The black one is the tapenade which is made of “minced black olives, capers and olive oil from Provence.” I liked this one, not very ‘dip-like’ more of a filling kind of thing. The white one is the hummus which is made from garbanzos. Of the three, this was my

Yes, it was a bit overpowering but it was a perfect match for the grape jelly and chocolatey cake. Tip: don't lick the icing on its own. Best to eat everything as you should and not in parts.Red Velvet Vixen Php65The fact that the cake was red was really cute. Nothing

We went to Serendra on a Saturday night without a reservation. Big mistake. All restaurants were full! We tried to go to several other places before settling for this one and were told we had to wait about 45 minutes to get a table for two. Was I in New York? haha...I felt like I was.. Learned my lesson though. Next time I'll be getting a reservation or better yet will be going on a weekday.

Seafood Marinara Php130This was good. I found the sauce to be tangy and tiny bit sour but perfect for my liking. Most especially to wash away that 'seafood' taste.Eggplant Parmigiana Php80I thought parmigianas were supposed to be like lasagnas..hehe...sbarro's brainwash! Not that good.
