i’ve been to two brazilian steakhouses before espetus: texas de brazil and fogo. you’d get the same ambiance and dining experience from here. i liked texas de brazil and fogo better though because of its wider options of cheese but i guess it’s not …
a friend recommended this bakery after reading or watching from some foodie. we got curious so we tried this famous bakery. when i got to the place, i saw a couple of customers having their breakfast. i read in yelp that they have good breakfast options too but i wasn’t there for breakfast so i’ll reserve that for future visits. i got one loaf of cinnamon bread since they are known for this. i also got a loaf of blueberry cinnamon bread and a round of almond sprinkled cinnamon bread. i got the last two items as discounted items since they were on sale. this is probably their way to keep their stocks fresh. i like each of the bread i got. the almond sprinkled cinnamon bread was the least sweet among the three. this bakery has very limited open hours so i was so happy to see that they sell their famous cinnamon bread at costco.

we had this crazy idea of walking from embarcadero to golden gate bridge one saturday. we were supposed to eat at cioppino’s but we were already famished from walking. when we reached fisherman’s wharf, we started looking for interesting restaurants that offer cioppino. the …
if you are craving for dim sum, this is a good place to go. they have those push-carts carrying a variety of dishes from steamed dumpling, fried food, and desserts. one can also order from their menu. we didn’t order much since we were just having a “snack”. =) we got steamed shrimp dumplings, scallop dim sum, steamed scallop and shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce and xiao long bao or soup dumplings. i like all of them but liked most the scallop dim sum. it was a satisfying meal and i’d definitely go back here and would recommend this place.

my friend was craving for some pho and found this place on yelp. the 25% off on weekdays from 3 to 6pm all the more encouraged us to try this place. we had spring rolls as starter. my friends loved the spring rolls. for …
any kid can’t miss this small little place at the corner of lincoln ave and willow st because of the long line overflowing from this ice cream/frozen yogurt shop. it’s nicely located near the water fountain too so it has a nice outdoor view day …
Located at the corner of the Calyx building and within walking distance to most of the buildings here in IT park, Gusto Bar is one of the interesting places to grab a bite and relax in the area. Gusto bar boasts a wide variety of dishes to whet your appetite from pizza to pasta, seafood to meat. They also have a variety of desserts like tiramisu, cakes and ice cream for the sweet toothed person.
worth the price.
My sister had herself a serving of beef lasagna while we both agreed to enjoy a large plate of salmon pizza. While waiting for our orders, we found ourselves sinking into the restaurant’s chill music and relaxing atmosphere.
We were not disappointed when we finally sank our teeth into the food that we got. The salmon pizza that we ordered was crisp and the dish itself did not taste weird in any way. The lasagna was better than I imagined it, with several layers of good cheese used in the making of such a delectable item. It even came with a stick of garlic bread. How fun! I was satisfied, and my doubts were eased.

A: 4/5 Pricey the food might be, but you won’t be disappointed. If you’re willing to shell out 250-350 for food here, you’re in for a good treat.
N: What can I say, I’m a sucker for Korean BBQ and AYCE at that 🙂 so for my birthday I invited my friends to try out this restaurant, partly to try out the place but mostly because birthday celebrants eat here for free if …
Known to Cebuanos as one of the best places where you can get fried chicken, Sunburst continues to thrive through the years as a fast food shack and retreat for the hungry souls looking for a delicious bite of chicken to soothe the rumblings of their tummies.
We came by to sample once again the famous chicken of Cebu and found ourselves sated by the assortment of food offered to us by the courteous staff of Sunburst Ayala. We ordered old favorites such as sotanghon guisado, sizzling bangus, calamares, crispy pata and their famous recipe of chicken. The place was packed, but the orders came on time and piping hot and delicious. We had to deal with insufficient space and cramped walkways as proof of its still strong popularity.
I had no complaints about the food, though the price tag that comes with each of them is note worthy. Chicken sold here are served using their secret recipe that is uniquely theirs. I have yet to find a restaurant that copies their taste exactly as it is
. It wasn’t spectacular nor was it very good. Just ok. Their bangus and the crispy pata is a winner, though. ^^

A: 3/5
Not for the price conscious. Some dishes are heavy on the pocket.
