I was in Bacolod recently for a weekend. I had never been there and didn’t know what to expect; but my hosts summed it all up by saying there’s nothing to do but eat. And eat we did. I was amazed at how everything was just 5 minutes from everywhere; mostly along the Lacson Street …read »

I made a quick weekend trip to Jakarta a few weeks ago to catch the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, and boy, was that an eye opening experience. It’s one of the largest jazz fests in the world and it’s great that it’s just a short flight from Manila. Of course, food was also on …read »

One cold morning in Taipei, my brother sent me a text if I wanted to try this soy milk place for breakfast near our hotel. I got this message right after hitting the breakfast buffet but, what the hell. When in Rome. I wanted to go anyway as I knew Taiwanese style soy milk breakfasts …read »

Addiction Aquatic Development was one of the places I had shortlisted for this Taiwan trip. I am a huge seafood lover and to dedicate a huge warehouse-like space for it (with different areas specifically for charcoal grilling, sushi, a cold seafood/oyster bar and cooking service among others) just equates to my kind of Disneyland (and …read »

I really had no rigid schedule to follow on this trip to Tokyo. I just wanted to explore more of the megacity and basically see the parks during the fall. (Which is beautiful, by the way.) Also to do a little Christmas shopping along the way and see some art. (I strongly suggest one sees …read »

I was in Tokyo for a few days this week; escaping the mad APEC mess. Autumn is really a good time to visit Japan. Cool weather, beautiful parks with the red and gold foliage; walking is so much more enjoyable. And on the average I had probably walked 12 to 15km days. Which pretty much …read »

Thanks Lori. Actually, I started writing but I started to sound like a raving groupie. It was embarassing. :)
I literally ran out words for "delicious". For the record, I am a huge fan of Chef Tonyboy.

Oh my, those photos made me want to head to Antonio's right now. The last time I went there was last year to celebrate Father's Day (which is coming this sunday again :-). I must agree, you'll simply lost for gustatory words to describe how wonderful Antonio's dining experience can be.

I haven't been to Antonio's in a while, partly because of the mixed reviews I've been reading in food blogs. It really is one of my favorites, not only because of the food, but also for all the nice memories I associate with that place. Good to know that its still as good as I remember it:-)
