Food Adventures at Mckinley is back! Last year we were able to try the first Food Adventure and you can find the reviews here and here . Judging at the new list (from their site ), a few of them had tapped out, the new being the bold ones-- which I do hope won't be offering coffee. They've also added 50php for their passport price which I take as they would be giving us something better than what they had us eat previously. It's a bit sad Sweet Pea is not participating anymore but Kuse and Sol Gelato is still here so what the heck. 3 Winners already!  We will start our food adventure next week so see you that time!  1.      Blackwood Bistro 2.       Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf 3.      Empire Deli & Restaurant 4.       Figaro 5.       KBOP 6.       Kuse 7.      Little Asia Symphony of Flavors 8.      Old Vine Grille 9.       Pinchos Restaurant & Bar 10.       Pho Hoa 11.      Ramen Bar 12.       Red Crab Alimango House 13.     Sol Gelato 14.      Yo Swirls by BTIC I

I was looking for some place to go one day and it got me to Ticketworld. No good concert was on this week but I saw this event that looked really interesting, a one-man play entitled Defending the Caveman. I googled it quick and words like 'long-running', 'funny', 'a must for your date' and how the tickets were priced, (the front seats are just priced at 1200 a ticket) I set when I was to buy it. To my surprise CashCashPinoy was offering huge cut on the orchestra seats (we got it for 500) and the next thing we knew, we were seated at the front center of the stage. I thought we were really lucky to have the spots because without the voucher, our 500 will only take us to the very back. It was fun at first until we got paranoid. Why are we seated here? Why the very front? Why the very center? Will this have an audience participation? What, in front of these rich old people here? Noooo!!! So me and bf decided to not act like a couple. It hard not to cuddle bu

One of the newly opened restaurants in Megamall is yet another japanese-themed restaurant named Yabu, House of Katsu. And going by the name of the store, unlike what most does that offers everything you can think of without even the right of doing so (like crumbling sushi yikes!), they chose to specialize in one of the most typical 'japanese' food out there. The pork katsu. The first thing they serve you is a cup of sesame seed. My first visit this came un-crushed and you have to pound it  with a wooden mortar. Although the interaction was nice, the wood mortar didn't help that much in pressing the seeds. The time I went back though, there was no mortar and it was already crushed, which they have probably decided to do than the frustrating useless wood.  Already at the table are the sauces you can mix together with your sesame seeds. Standard katsu sauce is on the left, and everything can be used to mix in to what you might fancy, even the mayo can be a candidate if that is

I've just started cross posting my reviews in Openrice late last year and what do you know? This is the first time I ever got something from blogging. Hooray!
