Aysee’s Sisig

When I was back in college, our professor told us that “you haven’t been to Ortigas if you haven’t tasted Aysee’s Sisig”. I was only a freshman back then, and it was my first time to be in an area that was so “uptown-ish” compared to my suburban abode. Wanting to experience Ortigas in full, [...]

Monster Burger @ Banchetto

Remember what I said about that double quarter pounder?
That twice the beef, twice the fun shit?
Well, fuck that.
This one is the HALF POUNDER:

Which, practically, is the same as two quarter pounders. But in any case, by the looks of it, this one’s got a bit more, err, “impact” when it comes to appearance. I mean, [...]

Chicken Saucer Power Meal @ Nutrilicious

Ortigas could be a very unforgiving place if you’re the type of person who loves to eat hearty and filling servings. After all, you’d have to spend a lot of cash at some restaurants just so you could get your stomach to stop grumbling. However, this place isn’t so bad when it comes to grabbing [...]

Note: Alright. I spent a lot of time, money, cigarettes and coffee for this entry. And yes, I’m glad to say that it was all worth it. Oh how I love Ortigas.

Somebody said that you can’t deny a soldier his meal. Apart from its nutritional value, a humble meal is one of the only sources [...]

Milkshake (Frostee) @ Snowstorm

One of the most under-appreciated desserts (or snacks) most Filipinos don’t usually buy is the simple milkshake. Despite the fact that the Zagu-craze has already died down for over a few years now, the thing is, their milkshakes are artificially produced. I mean, an original milkshake usually consists of only two ingredients: ice cream and [...]

Double Cheeseburger @ Slammer Burgers

While surfing the net, my cat started asking for cheeseburgers. I don’t know why, but maybe she’s been abusing her internet privileges far too much and it might have brainwashed her little kitty brain. But then again, she must’ve just seen this pic:

Katsudon @ the Venue

It’s definitely 2009. And with the New Year comes the new pounds of solid fat and grease that you’ve gobbled up this past Christmas. That additional inch on your waistline really is a bummer isn’t it? Yeah, especially if that inch once came from a live animal that’s been impaled, roasted – and to add [...]

The 2x Quarter Pounder: twice the beef, twice the fun

Yup, you know this bad boy?

It’s the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese from your friendly neighborhood fastfood: McDonald’s. Now before anything else, this baby costs about Php 170+.

Pho Hoa’s Soup for the Soul

A few spring rolls ago, Pho Hoa has been featured in this little blog of ours. Now, I’m going to feature this restaurant again.
