Hype was Well-Deserved December 31, 2010 I have heard the buzz on Tao Yuan Restaurant in Malate. I also found out they opened a second branch in Resorts World Manila (RWM). While there was a myriad of restaurant options in RWM to choose from, I decided to explore what the fuss was all about. Tao [...]
Heavenly Chocolates, Roces Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines
Posted by: velvet touch in: ● December 29, 2010
Nama Chocolates Not Named Royce December 30, 2010 I am fond of Belgian chocolates. Ditto with Lebanese chocolates. And then there is the Japanese sweets commonly known as Nama. The more famous brand is the Royce Nama (in Power Plant Mall and GB5). The other Japanese brand is the lesser known, but equally potent Sachi [...]
Carinderia Buffet, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines
Posted by: velvet touch in: ● November 29, 2010
The Kamay-Kainan Spin-off November 29, 2010 Eat-all-you-can at P99++ or P110 all-in. This is the main come-on of Carinderia Buffet. If you want to pig out on a shoe-string budget and you are not particular about the kind of Filipino food served nor the absence of ambiance (think no aircon), this place is just right [...]
Café 1771, El Pueblo, Pasig City, Philippines
Posted by: velvet touch in: ● October 9, 2010
The Breakfast Series: The Spirit of Chateau Lives On October 10, 2010 Since I had extra moolah from the booming stockmarket, I wanted to treat my family to a hearty breakfast. I did not want a buffet breakfast nor breakfast in a hotel. Hence, I opted for the upscale Café 1771 for some ala carte [...]

Crispy Bonchon Chicken Invades Manila October 7, 2010 The Philippines was not to be undone. The much-hyped Korean-inspired #1 chicken in America opened its doors in Makati. This is the same Crispy Bonchon Chicken franchise in Singapore as featured by fellow blogger Jake Speed.
Thuk Thai, Rockwell Business Center, Pasig City, Philippines
Posted by: velvet touch in: ● September 10, 2010
Rekindling the Love for Thai Food September 10, 2010 I have not eaten in a Thai resto since Sukhothai closed down almost a decade ago. Since then, I have had some occasional Thai food from local Asian eateries, such as, Banana Leaf Asian Café and Crustasia. My luck smiled on me when I stumbled upon [...]

Posted by: velvet touch in: ● August 30, 2010
Take Your Sweet Time at Cafe Mary Grace August 30, 2010 There are several stores and kiosks of Café Mary Grace in the major parts of the metro. But there is one branch that allows you to have a serene and laid-back time for desserts since there is hardly any foot traffic yet. The Rockwell [...]

Buon Giorno to Open in Ortigas Soon! August 25, 2010 Buon Giorno Caffe and Bistro is our “default” breakfast destination in Tagaytay City. The scrumptious food makes the 90-minute trip from Manila a pleasant experience up the Taal ridge. Come October, I do not have to drive out-of-town to have my fill of Three Cheese [...]
Ferino’s Bibingka, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City, Philippines
Posted by: velvet touch in: ● August 23, 2010
How the Mighty Have Fallen Series: Wither Ferino’s August 23, 2010 There was a time in the 90′s when bibingka was synonymous with Ferino’s. I liked it back then, until Via Mare introduced better bibingkas. Today, Ferino’s is a mere shell of its old self and will even have a hard time fending off upstart [...]

How the Mighty Have Fallen Series: Food Fit for a Don? Not! August 20, 2010 There was a time in the late 90′s when Shakey’s and Pizza Hut became complacent and neglected their customers. Don Henrico’s swooped down from its Baguio original base and took the metropolis by storm. Who can forget the long lines [...]
