Cinco de Mayo!

Whenever we're too bored at home , we always drive to Cinco de Mayo for some nachos, fajitas and margaritas! This is the most accessible,delectable and affordable  Mexican resto from our place (We sometimes just take a walk if we're too lazy to bring a car).
The restaurant is located at Greenfields Executive Homes, San Fernando City, Pampanga.
Perfectly happy now!

Vigan Food Trip!

8 hours of travel time, 24 hours of good food!

One round of food trip during our overnight stay at Vigan, Ilocos Sur!

Breakfast -- Plaza Burgos
Arrived at around 6AM.  We really wanted to get a feel of Vigan life so we decided to visit the food stalls by the plaza! It is located just right beside St. Paul Cathedral. Locals usually eat here after their morning jog. We had a heavenly yet affordable breakfast! Lomi is a must try!.

Lunch -- Cafe Leona
After dropping off our bags at the hotel, we went straight to Cafe Leona located at Crisologo Street. Of course, we ordered Vigan's very famous bagnet and longganisa!  

Afternoon Merienda -- Hidden Garden
Our calesa driver told us that we could not possibly leave the city without trying Hidden Garden's Empanada! Truly, it was delish! Not the usual empanada that you could buy inside the malls. It's crispy stuffed with egg, vigan longganisa and papaya.

Dinner & Drinks -- Uno Grille
Because we scheduled an early Pagudpud trip the next day, we ended our night by having dinner and drinks at Uno Grille. The restaurant is located at Bonifacio StreetGreat ambiance and exquisite food!

One of the best trips I've had! I would not mind a round 2! Anyone?

Best Japanese Ramen in the Philippines!!!

We had lunch at Shinjuku Ramen House last week to try its famous ramen!  It is located at Hercules St cor. Makati Ave.

I was totally surprised to see the place jampacked with Japanese people! A good sign that the restaurant serves authentic Jap ramen!
We ordered Shoyu ramen (P 240) and Sapporo ramen (P 245).  Both were good choices!

Best-selling Shoyu Ramen

Shinjuku's best gyoza is really worth a try!  It matches perfectly with your order of ramen!
Shinjuku's Gyoza: 4 pcs (P 175)

Best Japanese ramen in the Philippines I must say!

Capricciosa Ristorante italiano!

Last week, I was really craving for pizza so I googled all the Italian restaurants in Makati.  I finally saw Capricciosa located at Greenbelt 3.  I suggested this place to my friends for dinner since its pizza list looks really appetizing!
The restaurant has a very soothing ambiance! It will make you enjoy your food more. Capricciosa pizza and seafood spaghetti are worth trying!
This is a house specialty.  Southern Italian Napoleon style pizza topped with salami, bacon, mushroom, and bell peppers
(P 485)

Fresh seafood, peeled shrimp, sliced squid, tuna, mussels and clams in special tomato sauce, served with sauteed garlic
(P 365)


Delicious food! It did serve my pizza craving!
