One item that I always order at every Filipino restaurant I go to is their pork sisig. I’d have to say that Ongpin over in South San Francsico makes one of the better ones, especially if what you want is more meat and less grease. Actually, the food here seemed less greasier than other places. [...]

I never knew Daly City had a House of Silvanas bakery. I’m used to eating Sans Rival cake, usually from Goldilocks, but I’ve never heard of Silvanas, which is basically a Sans Rival cake in cookie form, until I found out about House of Silvanas. Delightfully crunchy, creamy and delicious! A layer of buttercream sandwiched [...]

I had another enjoyable Filipino meal, this time for dinner at Bagoong Club Resto in Quezon City. They specialize in … you guessed it – bagoong. Anyway, I liked this restaurant. I can’t quite remember everything I ate, especially since I didn’t take many pictures, but this was one of my favorite Filipino restaurants that [...]

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, [...]

Now here’s something I’ve never eaten before: buko pie. It’s a pie filled with young coconut. I’m used to eating coconut cream pie, but never one filled with young coconut meat. We kept passing by Colette’s Buko Pie at Pasalubong all over Tagatay, so finally, we went to one so I could try their pie. [...]

We had a big lunch at Antonio’s Grill in Tagaytay. Not a bad choice to eat, though I’ve had better. Their sizzling bulalo (beef and bone marrow) was good. I also liked their spicy ginisang hipon (shrimps). My favorite, though, was their turron with tikoy. The tikoy offered a nice chewy texture that you usually [...]

Andok’s Litson is like meat heaven, and it’s located all over the Philippines so access to it is easy. Their specialty is litson manok (roasted chicken), and it was really good, even a day after. The meat was juicy and the skin was crispy. Their litson kawali (roasted pork) was also good, especially its crispy [...]

Along the Tagaytay-Batangas Highway sits the original Mushroom Burger branch. It’s a popular spot and tourists go there all the time. Even though we had just eaten lunch, my cousin insisted I try it, and I’m not one to say no when it comes to food. I tried their mushroom burger and it was unique. [...]

The first place I ate at in the Philippines is Razon’s of Guagua in their Tagaytay branch, which is probably the furthest branch they have from Metro Manila. I had their palabok, which was delicious, but my favorite was their halo-halo. It wasn’t like any halo-halo I’ve ever had before. The ice was exquisitely crushed [...]

I just had a great dinner at Tribu Grill for my birthday – it’s still kinda early but I’ll take it!) – thanks to Jessica, Jann, Mae, Steve and Veronica. Great service. My favorite was their binagoongan fried rice. It’s always too salty for me elsewhere. Everything was good though: their lumpiang Shanghai (kinda small, [...]
