Inside Le Bistro D’Agathe
The Christmas season is the best time to reunite with friends with great, quality food so me and Sharlyne went to a French restaurant called Le Bistro D’ Agathe with two of her high school friends (Meg and Margo). Meg actually suggested this restaurant which I believe is one of Sharlyne’s reliable foodie friends.
The restaurant just opened a few months ago (around mid-2011) and this is owned by a French Chef Patrice. The location of the place is quite odd, not in your typical strip of restaurants or even malls. It is located at a residential district which is in Bangkal, Makati.
And because of their Valentine’s Special set menu, we’re definitely going back because the photos I took there weren’t good. It won’t do justice to the quality of their food.

Poqui – Poqui Balls @ Php 115
After a tiring tour of Vigan during the day, we deserved to have delicious Ilocano dinner on our last night in Vigan at Uno Grille. Like what we usually do, we search for must-try restaurants for a certain place before we actually go there. Many bloggers recommended that we dine at Uno Grille / Kusina Felicitas because they have great food and large servings. Well, it was only the two of us so it was quite hard to order a lot of food. So we only chose 2 viands and flavored rice to pair them with. Continue reading →

Miki with Bagnet and Pandesal
If you’re in Calle Crisologo in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, I suggest that you try Cafe Uno which is just nearby since it’s literally a few meters away. Cafe Uno is quite popular with the locals and as well as the tourists. We went to Cafe Uno twice, the first time was after the sumptuous dinner at the opposite restaurant, Uno Grillery (which has the same owners as Cafe Uno) and the second time was the next day before we leave Vigan.

Outside Cafe Monsee’s
I appreciate food tasting invitations during public holidays. Received an invitation from Nana for a food tasting session at Cafe Monsee’s. Not really familiar with the place though so I Googled it and some blogs of our fellow food bloggers came up from the search. Most of them recommended their breads and pastries.
Cafe Monsee’s is located at White Plains Avenue, just before Boni Serrano if you are coming from the Monument of Heroes in Edsa. The facade of Monsee’s is just like a typical house with white painted walls and two red doors. I already felt the homey – neighborhood vibe upon seeing the facade. Then Karla and I went inside and saw the yummy looking breads and pastries. Continue reading →

Chef Hannah’s Most Awesome Angus Beef Belly
Slogans or marketing phrases sometimes deceive us so I am usually doubtful about this. When I saw that H Cuisine boasts that they have the most awesome Angus Beef belly, I said to myself, let me try this first before I believe. I thought that it would just be another marketing slogan but I was totally wrong. H Cuisine’s Slow Roasted Angus Beef Belly paired with their homemade demi-glace gravy tasted awesome but I couldn’t say that it is the best in the market. Continue reading →
