onThe great thing about having family and friends visit Manila is being able to go out and discover new places in the city. I’ve heard good things about Goto Monster for some time now.

onEarly this week, I attended the pre-opening tasting of Makansutra Market. It consists of twelve hawker stations, representing heritage street food from Singapore and Malaysia.

onMy food radar doesn’t seem to work in the BGC area. So it was great to have a friend point out Fowlbread to me. It’s a pretty straight up place; having a fried chicken sandwich as their cornerstone on the menu. Like a gussied up Zinger but better. As always I try to sample their spiciest …read »

oncarnitas The Filipinos’ tastebuds are getting more global each day. Who’d have thought that Manila would ever have several decent options for taco cravings. It’s something that I’m truly thankful for. A promising new player is Lagrima. Not serving up Tex-Mex nor Cal-Mex but Oaxacan styley Mexican food (by way of Cebu). chili verde and …read »

onI hate to admit that I do a lot of lurking in social media. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who does this but there is some good to snooping around. I found El Pago online and I invited my friend Morx to come try it out with me. It’s a short ride …read »

May I ask where Manna Bakery is exactly? I drove trough Esteban Abada from behind McDonald's up to KFC but didn't find it. They were not at Market of the Hills yesterday, either.

Hi, Katrina - It really is far, but you will enjoy the trip. : )
Hi, Anonymous - It's still past KFC. : ) From Katipunan going south, turn right on the road before Bo's Coffee, then turn left into Esteban Abada. Manna will be on your left.

the pizza was ok. not spectacular but because of the crispy, wholewheat, and (hopefully) freshly-made dough, it was worth the price.
forget the pastas, they were lifeless and overcooked.
