My favorite Viking: Niu

I now refuse to eat in any other eat-all-you-can buffet any other than Niu by Vikings in SM Aura. I promised my self that I would eat here on my birthday because of the discount, and to binge on foie gras.  That was August.  I found a perfect excuse to go back here on my sister’s birthday (October).  On both times, happiness. The interiors beautiful, … Continue reading My favorite Viking: Niu

M.flores – Malabon Food Tour

General Luna Street in Malabon is a residential area peppered with some nice restaurants. This would be ideal residence for foodies. We were originally looking for Cocina Luna on this street.

Betsy’s Cake Center – Malabon Food Tour

The Malabon food trip is recently gaining prominence in mainstream and digital media so NATURALLY, I found myself in the area.  My tummy buddy and I were hoping to get into that Malabon Tricycle Food Tour.  It was sad that not all people from/in Malabon knows of it. They don’t even know the places we were talking about.  So I guess it means it is in … Continue reading Betsy’s Cake Center – Malabon Food Tour

Fusion, Confusion: P. F. Chang’s – Mandaluyong City

I’m all into fusion, out-of-the-box ideas.  I think the world is so dynamic right now, one item does not fit into a single silo anymore; it’s possible it was created to be part of many silos. Such existential ideas sprung out of me after I ate at P.F. Chang’s in Shangri-La Mall. I just wanted dimsum. And noodles. Simple things in life, you know. But … Continue reading Fusion, Confusion: P. F. Chang’s – Mandaluyong City
