onI have done my fair share of interviews. Over the years, this is the one question I always enjoy asking: “I’m a visitor from out of town, where would you suggest I eat? What do you recommend I order?” Besides the obvious attempt to learn about new places to visit or even rediscover dishes once …read »

onAn often overlooked aspect of the Filipino gastronomical experience is that of our street food. From your typical isaw & barbeque, to your fishball & squidball, and to the bibingka and puto bungbong that is reminiscent of cool December mornings and misa de gallo. We had initially planned to write about the street food in …read »

onImagine: a food-obsessed Pinoy living in HK given the opportunity to share her favorite eateries with food lovers from the Philippines. Think: crummy looking hole-in-the-walls, noisy eateries, chic bars, grand palaces of dining. Disregard: weight, health and wallet concerns. Visualize: a trip to Macau for just 1 meal. Plan: a food trip that will leave …read »

onIf you’re a shopping addict who will happily splurge on a Balenciaga bag, but scrimp on meals just so you can afford this season’s Blahniks, head for Tiong Bahru Market for nourishment. This two-floor building has been newly renovated, so don’t let the ‘Market’ part turn you off. The ground floor has a wet/dry market, …read »

onFranco’s note: When we asked Christine of Ramblings from a Gypsy Soul to join us in our last Table Conversation on the best burgers in town, we were expecting maybe a one or two paragraphs reply.

Their plan: “We’ll be visiting (and eating our way through) Manila, Cebu and Leyte…mega food trip, hehe.” So here’s the list I contributed for the Manila …read »

onBecause I am a novice cook, just adventuring happily, but also haphazardly, in my kitchen, I don’t usually cook for anyone I don’t know very well. Cooking to impress is too stressful, and I prefer feeding my immediate family and friends…people to whom I can say, in case of any culinary mishap, “Ok, we’re ordering …read »

Aww I love that picture of Rache at the picnic with the roses. And you're right Anton, it's really the company more than anything that makes it memorable. :)

I agree with Mila. I don't think I've ever met a guy as sweet, thoughtful and romantic as you, Anton! Rache and you are lucky to have each other.
And, like Christine, I also believe that the company I'm with is what makes meals most special. As much as I love good food, I love good company a lot more.

your wife is very lucky to have a very thoughtful and adventurous husband! I agree that you should give a seminar to guys, especially those married and soon to be weds. I love your blog, I will now look at your blog for reference of restaurants. My husband is so boring when it comes to food, won't try anything new so we would both have to look at your blog for directions. More power!

A wonderful family vacation in Barbados during Spring Break, 2006 concluded with an impromtu repas on the beach in front of the small inn where we were staying. Several young, typically friendly, Bajan fisherman who had befriended our family during our stay prepared hot breadfruit which was offered to us as we emerged from our "last swim of the holiday". Wanting to contribute to the event, we raided our refrigerator. There was not much left after the holiday except for a dish of roasted garlic heads and a bottle of hot sauce!
The breadfruit,cooked on coals on an outdoor fire on the beach were cracked open and pieces were passed to all. Warm, comforting and very tasty1 We passed around the roasted garlic, which was initially viewed rather suspiciously by our hosts! The new experience of hot breadfruit for the Spencer family and roasted garlic for our Bajan friends,was confirmation, once again, how friendship and food go hand in hand.
