Burek at the Queen Victoria Market @ AUD $2.00 – 2.50 (around Php 83 +)  per piece

While I was at the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, I had this for lunch. I wasn’t really that hungry and this is the easiest thing to eat there.

Borek or Burek is a Turkish pastry made of phyllo which has a basic filling of cheese combined with either meat or minced vegetables. I chose cheese and spinach because I love spinach. It’s the same texture as baklava, it’s flaky but it’s not sweet. I suddenly remembered the Turkish Doner I had here in Manila. Continue reading →

I wrote this when I was in Melbourne last November 3-10

I’m currently in Melbourne for my training  and actually it’s been three days since I’ve been here. Most of the dining places around my area (St. Kilda, South Melbourne) are cafes so I don’t have the opportunity to really dine inside a cafe after work because they close at 3 or 4 pm.

Usually, a buffet ranges from 250 to 500 pesos. Some who would offer buffet would have a higher price than the usual range because of the variety of the dishes they offer. Paul Calvin’s Deli, located along Rizal Avenue in Fort Bonifacio, offers a number of selections at a price that one would usually pay for in a buffet. Continue reading →

Last August 8, we were dragged by our blogger friend Melo to attend an event that we didn’t really know about. We were waiting at Haagen Dazs SM Mall of Asia (which was at the second floor of the mall) for something to start. So while waiting, we were eating the Chocolate Fondue Set of Haagen Dazs. I believe it’s worth P 700 +.

Anyway, our location is a strategic spot to see whatever they’re going to present. The PR people wouldn’t reveal to us what’s going to happen. They say it’s going to be something spectacular. Continue reading →

Ravioli is truly a treasure found in the food court of Robinson’s Galleria. Ravioli offers fresh, quality pasta at a relatively cheap price. And as the name suggests, we tried two of their raviolis in their menu items. Continue reading →

Brothers Burger is celebrating its 10th year anniversary of providing the best and quality burgers in town. This is a reason to celebrate and make a mark in the burger business here in the Philippines by launching its Wagyu Burger. Wagyu is the considered the most tender among all kinds of beefs because the cattle adopt a different feeding and breeding techniques (from Japan). Brothers Burger supplier of Wagyu Beef is Snake River Farms from the United States. Continue reading →

There are only quite a few Mexican restaurants in Manila that can be considered good. The only three restaurants that come to mind whenever I have Mexican food cravings are Chilli’s,  Mexicali and Tia Maria’s. I’m glad that there is a new Mexican restaurant in town that serves fresh and quality Mexican food. It’s called Ristras, and is the hottest Mexican place to be in Manila right now.

Ristras refer to the “arrangements of drying chile pepper pods” (according to Wiki). It is done to preserve the chilis or can also be used as a design ornament. I am guessing that this is the reason why the restaurant was named as such: it gives hungry customers the Mexican imagery. Continue reading →

Mcdonald’s Philippines now offer a bigger size of French Fries. The old ‘large fries’ is now labelled as medium and their large size is much bigger (finally!). I ordered one when I was craving for Mcdonald’s for lunch earlier and I was surprised that their Fries are now bigger. I thought that I can finish it but apparently, I was struggling .

For the past few days, me and Sha were having our chocolate doughnut fix at Krispy Kreme. Yesterday, we were able to join the Chocolate Karnival where the greatest chocolate show on earth was launched in the Philippine’s flagship store’s Doughnut Theater. Continue reading →
