I've included The Sandwich Guy at my post about my favorite quick eats, and recently, I'm really getting obsessed with The Sandwich Guy! :) I spend an hour traveling from our house to the office and though I eat breakfast at home, I'm usually hungry by the time I reach the office so I grab something for a quick breakfast (part 2) and I usually buy at The Sandwich Guy.

Much as I hate to admit, I've only been to Pancake House recently, and it was even unintentional. My friend and I were looking for a resto where we could eat lunch, but we weren't much in the mood for an adventure and so we settled to what we know and we love best: all-day breakfast! :) And boy, I was really craving for all-day breakfast for quite a while. Pancake House always has this

Let me share with you another voucher success story: Bugsy's Bar and Bistro. Bugsy's Bar and Bistro is a neighborhood bar and bistro offering American comfort food and delectable drinks at affordable prices. Bugsy's is one the restaurants I've been eyeing for quite a while that when I saw the Groupon deal, I bought vouchers right away. The deal may be claimed from 11:00AM to 5:00PM,

I was invited to attend Globe Telecom's Free Mobile FB launch with the Philippine Volcanoes at Izakaya Sake Bar, Greenbelt 2, Makati City. The Philippine Rugby Union, better known as the 'Volcanoes', are Globe's Ambassadors for Bill Shock.    The event was attended by more than 25 media people and women bloggers.

PEx food club recently had dinner at Poco Deli, located at one of the newest food spots in the metro, Bgy. Kapitolyo in Pasig City. Poco Deli is a small delicatessen serving traditional German sausage and other deli meats. They also serve wine and other dishes and desserts. The place is quite homey, with simple display of racks of wine and shelves of imported beers. Instead of

I was recently invited by Seattle's Best Coffee for an afternoon delight with fellow bloggers. It was a good opportunity to try Seattle's since I was planning to do a coffee-and-cheesecake thing there (I'm quite addicted to cheesecake recently). Little did I know that I would be up for a challenge: Milk Tea! If you've been reading this blog, you'll notice that I don't have posts

  I was again invited by OpenRice to try one of the newest hang-outs in Ortigas: Citizen Pub and Burger Bar, located at the City Golf Complex. Citizen Pub and Burger Bar is a three-level restaurant which opened less than a year ago. It serves mostly American comfort food like pizza, grilled meat, sausages and offers imported beers and other booze, but what Citizen Pub takes pride of

It's my most favorite brother's birth month! (Before you react violently: I only have ONE brother). My brother is so obsessed with Transformers, so I took photos of his robots last weekend. He owns more than enough toys (cars, trains, robots, he have it), but these robots are the only photo-friendly ones. I can't remember the names of the Transformers. I could only remember Bumblebee so

I did some book-hoarding lately from Fully-Booked, Powerbooks and Bookay-Ukay Pilipinas. And so I solved my life-long problem: not having any book to read. I also received books last Christmas, and that makes me a very, very, happy girl. ;)I'm a voracious reader. My love for reading started when I was in Grade 2, when I was offered to buy an atlas (so I forced my mom to buy it for me, I

As I've mentioned last time I visited Secret Recipe, I'll go back to try the dessert, and so I did to have a some 'me-time' and destress a bit.  Secret Recipe is an international lifestyle cafe chain with branches in Bangkok, Melbourne, Brunei, Shanghai and many more.

My fellow bloggers and I were invited by OpenRice to try this new Filipino restaurant in The Podium called Sa Kanto (emphasis on the 'Sa'). From the people behind Il Ponticello, Sa Kanto specializes on Filipino dishes with a twist.   The interiors of the restaurant reminds me of Old Manila. It made me forget I'm in the middle of Ortigas. The decorations are very simple, and lighting

A good friend introduced me to Slammer Burgers (or Slammers) during college. During that time, their Galleria branch is just a stall in the middle of the Sports Loop, and now they have their own space. :) Slammers has become one of go-to places whenever I'm craving for a burger. What makes Slammers special are the mini burgers and the belgian fries. Unlike the usual burger restaurants

I'm forever a fan of Sambokojin that I kept on coming back since I was asked to do a restaurant review for a food club in my company last year. (We have these interest clubs in our company, think university orgs). My friends and I would always go to the Eastwood branch since some of our friends work in Eastwood, but this time we tried the EDSA Mandaluyong branch. Fresh meats,

A college friend introduced Sebastian's Ice Cream to me a few months ago with their Frozen Yakult flavor. I recently visited this ice cream studio to try other flavors that are exclusively made by Sebastian's. Sebastian's Ice Cream is a Filipino brand specializing in artisan ice cream. What I love about Sebastian's are the Filipino flavors which they turned into ice cream like Chilled Taho,

Thanks to Facebook statuses, I got two friends to watch the concert with me, so I didn't have to get so bitter on not having to watch one of my favorite artists.As I've posted before, I still buy original CDs, and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" is one

I'm a self-confessed Starbucks fanatic, but whenever my favorite coffee shop is super crowded, I go to Bo's Coffee (without having to stomp my way, as I usually get bratty if I can't get Starbucks). Bo's Coffee is a Filipino coffee shop the opened more than 15 years ago in Cebu. If you've been to Cebu, you can see Bo's Coffee in almost every street corner. It also has branches in Metro

Johnny Rockets is every fries junkie's heaven because it offers unlimited fries for every burger / sandwich order. This is also popular because of its dancing crew, and some customers dancing with them. ;) Each table has a mini-jukebox, which plays

After buying two vouchers, one was a non-satisfactory skin treatment and another was a finance seminar that I wasn't able to use (and the website refused to give me a refund), I was too afraid of buying another voucher.But after reading a review from The Pickiest Eater, I vowed that I will

I was craving for dessert, and was almost dragging my friend to a cafe that offers cheesecakes, but our cravings brought us to Tokyo Cafe. Tokyo Cafe is a cozy cafe with offers Western dishes with a Japanese twist.Cozy is a bit of an understatement, the interiors are immaculately white, something I would want in my own home. The lighting is a big plus too. :)Honestly, it took a while because I

I was supposed to list down only 12 goals, but I've written down 23 birthday wishes last time, so I guess it should be fair if I list down 23 goals.So here goes my list:1. Open up an online stock trading account- I've been writing it down on my planner, I have also printed all the forms and have the complete documents on hand, but I never get to send it. I should do it soon!2. Buy a book monthly-

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who remembered and greeted me last Christmas. But of course, I would like to give my love to those who gave me Christmas gifts! (yeah, bias, I know). :)Having recently posted my book collections, I was so touched that some of my friends thought about giving me something that would add to my collection. I was REALLY touched by the gesture since I NEVER

I love coffee.I cannot survive without coffee.I cannot imagine a world without coffee.Though I still have to buy myself a coffee maker (there are so many options that my brain freezes whenever I have to choose ONLY one) and still have to win the lottery so that I could buy myself an espresso machine (my ULTIMATE dream), I'm indulging myself to instant coffee.Here are some of my recent purchases,

I recently invited the Northies to pay me a visit and have a food trip at Il Mercanti at Metrowalk. I haven't been to any food bazaar since most of the food bazaars open at midnight, and I don't have enough patience to starve myself til midnight (I would also have a hard time going home after). Good thing Il Mercanti starts at 7pm to 4am, from Thursday to Saturday.Having just opened a few months

Whenever we have team lunch outs, we always go Chinese, and once again we went Chinese and had lunch at Mongkok Dimsum and Noodles.Mongkok is one of the usually crowded restaurants in Rockwell Business Center that we were asked to come earlier although I had already called for reservations.What I love about Mongkok are the huge servings and it's affordability, that's why I opted to have my

I love reading. I read whenever I get a chance to do so. I read in whatever format: PDF, java format (yes, I have books on my mobile phone) and of course, the actual books.I used to buy books on book fairs or book sales during college, but I started buying brand new books when I started working.I love collecting books by author, title or series. I also love collecting magazines. My collection is

My Lunti co-officers decided to have a year-end get-together / lunch meeting at the ECHOstore Serendra. We visited the same store two months ago to meet up with one of the ECHOstore's founders, Ms. Jeannie Javelosa. We took the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping while doing year-end evaluations for our club.Echocafe promotes healthy eating by serving sustainable food and using fresh

For some strange reasons, our default lunch at Metrowalk would always be Stackers Burger Cafe. A lunch buddy was craving for burger, and I guess it was a chance to introduce Stackers to her. inside Stackers Stackers Burger is one of the juiciest yet affordable burgers in the metro. It is more affordable than other burger restaurants in the area that's why I insisted on bringing my friend

Though it was a bit of trek from my current office, I obliged since he haven't tried Uncle Moe's yet.Uncle Moe's Shawarma Hub is one of the most affordable (yet delicious) kebab restaurants I know. Open 24/7, the ambiance is very laid back that it reminds me of the usual hang-outs during my college

Cebu is one foodie haven everyone should try! I've been to Cebu twice, tried so many restos there but I still have to go back to try more. Nah, I'm not from Cebu, but for some reason, I love Cebu!Here are the places I've tried during my trips to Cebu:1. Manna Su Tu Kil House- Located near the Lapu-Lapu Shrine, SuTuKil means Sugba (grill), Tula (broth), Kilaw. This is the Cebu version of Dampa. :)

This is the continuation of my Cebu-Bohol vacation with my family. After a day tour in Bohol, we went for a Cebu City Tour the next day. Thank goodness the taxi driver who drove us from the Cebu pier back to the hotel offers city tours for Php 2500 (I got his contact number also). I've been to Cebu last year (for our college field trip), so I've seen some of the popular places in Cebu before.Here

I recently went for vacation with my family to Cebu and Bohol. We decided to just have a countryside tour in Bohol (Thanks to Lynne for giving me her Bohol contact and for the Bohol tips!). Aside from the itineraries given to me by friends (thank you guys!), I have no idea about the Bohol trip.We rode a Supercat fastcraft from Cebu Pier 4 at 8.30am.

It was almost a year and a half before the 4th part of the Twilight Saga came out. As a self-confessed Twilight fan, I did not miss watching this movie. And I think this was the best Twilight movie so far.The movie starts with the Bella-Edward wedding up to the birth of Renesmee, the half-vampire child. I loved that the movie followed the book. The whole surreal Anne of Green Gables-like wedding

The PEx food club strikes again to try this art gallery/furniture shop/restaurant called Silya't Sili.Silya't Sili is located in a semi-obscure White Plains area. It offers mainly traditional Filipino dishes that we always love. Though named as such, its dishes aren't really spicy, which got me relieved since I'm not into spicy food.Since it's an art gallery, beautiful paintings are posted on

It's been four months since I've posted about Manang's Chicken. From a single branch in Ortigas, it now has four branches. :) Manang's Chicken has always been one of my lunch destinations, though I usually end up taking out my meal because the place is usually full. It wasn't so surprising since the chicken was soooo addicting! I ordered 4 pieces Wings only meal (Php 129, Php 99 for solo)

I would usually trek to Jollibee whenever I'm craving for fried chicken. Though I tried the Hash Brown Burger, I'm loyal to Chickenjoy. I've seen the TV ad for the Jollibee Grilled Pork Tenders but it wasn't enticing enough. However, my friend insisted that we go to Jollibee for lunch since she wants to try this new Jollibee dish so I tried it too. :)Jollibee Grilled Pork Tenders is Php 65 for

I think my blog would not be complete if I will not write about my favorite restaurant. I think most people (or food bloggers) will agree. So forgive me if I will be a bit patronizing to this restaurant. :)I love Cafe Med so much that this is where I brought my college friends for my first treat since I started working and this is also where I brought my project team for my birthday treat last

I went to Eastwood recently to use a voucher for a skin treatment I bought a few months back (will write a separate blogpost about this). Luckily, a college friend (who's working in Eastwood) was willing to meet up with me for dinner. And we ended up eating at Cyma Greek Taverna. It's been a while since I've been to a Mediterranean resto and gosh, I missed eating Mediterranean food. Cyma

I met up with the PEx food club again after missing 2 meetups. And curiosity brought us to Petra and Pilar.The high-end carinderia is located at the heart of Makati. It was a Friday night so I expected that it would be crowded. I think it was an acoustic night. I noticed that most of the customers that night are barong-donned executives (this was also the first observation of the other food club

Whenever I hear the words 'Italian food', the first thing that comes to mind is Buon Giorno. I have tried other Italian restos before, but I have never been somewhere who can beat Buon Giorno. By the way, Buon Giorno means 'good morning' in Italian.Buon Giorno! Caffe and Bistro only has two branches: Ortigas and Tagaytay. Honestly, I haven't been to the Tagaytay branch. However, Ortigas branch is

After a month of hiatus, I'm back to blogging! :) and yes, it's my birth month. I'm turning 23 this 22nd.Rather than starting with another review, I'll be a little bit more ambitious (and selfish). So I listed down the things I want for my birthday.Please bear with me if most of the things I listed down are outrageous that only Santa could give it to me. haha! :)1.

Addicted. I'm so addicted to this saga that I have a copy on my mobile phone (jar format) and on my hard drive (pdf format). A hardbound copy is still on my wish list (because I still don't have a budget to buy it).Most would think that I'm just another teeny-bopper-pa-cutesy-pa-tweetums-fan, maybe I am, but I'm not that fan who wears "I love Edward/Jacob" shirts.

I've been trying to read a lot of poems lately so that one day I could write poems again. And I wish to be as passionate as Pablo Neruda. Though I haven't read his famous works yet, I like his style and I love the rhythm of the words of his poems.Let me share with you a poem from Pablo Neruda, which I will set in green since Neruda writes in green ink.I Crave Your Mouth, Your Voice, Your Hair--

One of the things I love about going back to the province is the food. And one delicious food that I always look for is the Tamales.Though it's easy to find tamales somewhere in the metro, nothing beats the tamales from my father's hometown. It was such a hit that when I asked my aunt to buy tamales for me one early morning, she only managed to bring me one piece. A piece costs Php10. I love the

A sudden craving for shawarma made me drag my lunch buddy to Jacob's Shawarma, which is a stone's throw away from the office. I would always pass by this place on my way home from the office and the muy gwapito face on the logo would always get me curious: is that really Jacob? Okay, I'm curious about the shawarma too.Haha.Jacob's Shawarma serves authentic Turkish doner kebab, popularly known as

I loved hash brown since I was in grade school. It's one of the usual canteen items I used to buy back then. I'm so addicted to hash brown that I could finish a dozen pack (which my aunt buys for me) myself. I don't care if it's deep fried or shallow fried (yes, it can be shallow-fried, trust me). I love it best with just mayo on top. Curiosity will kill me if I wouldn't try the newest burger

One morning, I went to McDonald's to buy breakfast. I usually have breakfast at home, but after a long shuttle ride, I would sometimes feel hungry again. I ordered my favorite: Sausage and Egg Muffin, Hash Brown and Brewed Coffee. As I was waiting for my orders, I took a leaflet which I thought was a delivery menu (I try to collect menu from different restaurants). It turned out to be the

I'm not a crybaby, but this poem always makes me cry. I love this poem so much that I have written it on my daily planner.Most of you are familiar with this poem, but actually this poem is one of the forty-four love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning called "Sonnets from the Portuguese", which tells us the love she felt for Robert. (Robert Browning is also a poet).I wish to recite this

I love music.I love listening to music.And I'm one of the few who still buy original CDs.Luckily, I have an electronics freak for a dad, who loves playing music so loud on our stereo (and this is early morning, mind you).I also believe in buying originals. The CDs I bought around 10 years ago are still playing which means that quality is still king.Though I'd love to buy every CD in the record

One of things I love about working in Pasig City is its city government's utmost effort in making the city as green as possible. From the funding of KILUS Foundation (the organization behind the tetrapack bags or "Zesto" bags) to the E-jeepneys roaming around Ortigas Business District, Pasig City now implements "No to Plastic Bags" to food establishments.Since I started going solo on this project

On any of the food trips, PEx food club usually goes to another place for coffee and dessert if both are not available in the resto that we tried. After our dinner at Grilled Tomato, we went to Casa Xocolat, which is only a few meters away from Grilled Tomato.Casa Xocolat is an old house converted into a cafe, or chocolate shop (for a lack of a better term). The place is mostly al fresco, though

However, it was closed a week earlier so we had to find a Plan B, which brought us to Grilled Tomato.the indoor areaGrilled Tomato is a small Persian resto located near Miriam and Ateneo.

So we accidentally discovered Diner's Restaurant, which is known for its bulalo. Personally, I haven't heard of Diner's, I'm more
