Must Eat Honey Chili Prawns at Chef Jia’s Restaurant

Everyone raves about the honey chili chicken at Chef Jia’s Restaurant, but I’m really digging their honey chili prawns. The prawns are huge, battered, fried to a nice crisp, and sauced up in a honey chili sauce, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor. I also tried the lemon chicken, which was not bad. The [...]

Tofu Steak at John and Yoko Cosmopolitan Japanese in Greenbelt

January 26th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Japanese, Philippines, Travels / 2 Comments

My very last meal in the Philippines was at John and Yoko Cosmopolitan Japanese, located inside the Greenhills Shopping Center. I guess we had enough of Filipino food by then. Overall, it was alright. It’s a great concept with a hip, modern environment and pretty girls serving. The food, however, was nothing too special in [...]

Video Video Blog 11: The Burger Avenue 3-Patty Burger Challenge

January 25th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Video / 1 Comment

Three patties, one pound, five minutes. Usually, Burger Avenue lets the burger cool down first for a few minutes before they start the clock but this time, they rushed me because they were closing in half an hour. My whole mouth was burned and was in pain for days.

I actually used to eat balut all the time as a kid, even after I moved to the states, but after time, it started to look more and more disgusting so I stopped. This was my first time eating in about 20 years. That first soup of the soup inside brought back nostalgic memories.

I didn’t think I would find a non-Filipino dessert that I’d really like in the Philippines. I tried the green tea anmitsu at Kozui Green Tea in Quezon City and it had just about every Asian ingredients I like in my Asian desserts. Green tea jelly, adzuki beans, taro paste, mochi, and soft serve green [...]

Filipino Food at Mangan in Robinsons Galleria

Pinky and I went to Robinsons Galleria to walk off our lunch so that we could grab a second lunch. (Yeah, we’re definitely related.) We chose Mangan, a Filipino restaurant. We just ordered four things and no rice because rice is a filler. We had their sisig and their sinigang. Their food is not bad, [...]

Must Eat Best Singaporean Food at Tao Yuan Restaurant

January 24th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Must Eat, Philippines, Singaporean, Travels / 2 Comments

I’ve never had Singaporean food in the states as good as Tao Yuan in Manila. It’s a huge hit with the Chinese community. Their Hainanese chicken was one of the best I’ve had, but my favorite was their chilli crab. The crabs are so meaty and the sauce is so good that you won’t even [...]

During my whole time in Asia, I was craving just one good, meaty, juicy burger. I was looking for a burger that would  make me not want to eat another burger for at least another month. I had pretty good ones at Monkey Hurry in Taiwan, but the one pound burger I had at Burger [...]

First time ever hitting the clubs in Makati. We went to Encore, which was formerly Embassy. Really good music, and better than the clubs here in SF sometimes. It has a hotel vibe inside with its layout. We had to cut out early though because Tiff got too drunk hehe. (Photos courtesy of Dona)
