Aracama – Impress Your Guests With Filipino Cuisine
I heard about Aracama somehow, probably by osmosis, either through reading food-related blogs or browsing foodies’ instagrams. But it’s not somewhere I imagined I would have an opportunity to dine at because clubs and live bands are not what we usually prefer. We like quiet dinners where we can talk, and talk, or savor each…

Updated: Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken – Sulit for Just P110!
I’ve been wanting to try Hot Star Large Fried Chicken for a while and I’m so glad they finally opened a branch in Shaw Blvd. The first few times I saw the restaurant’s sign, I thought they were closed because the “gate” was down, so I passed it by. After googling, I found out the…

We are always on the lookout for good places to eat in the wee hours of the morning. It’s just a by-product of a past in the call center industry that still being awake at 4AM means nothing anymore. Habib Persian Cuisine was a place that J was always curious about, passing by it often when…

Last Saturday, J and I went to see Kingsman: The Secret Service at Shangri-la. It’s the new Colin Firth movie that was buzzed about being good. At first, I was skeptical about the movie.
