Cafe Shibuya, UP Town Center: Oishii!

Home to the world's most busiest pedestrian crossing (and the Hachiko statue), Shibuya, the shopping and entertainment district of Tokyo is the center of youth culture. We could say the same with newly-opened UP Town Center, located near well-known universities along Katipunan Avenue, with a cafe where one's appreciation of the said district is embodied in its food.

[CLOSED] Review: Bar-B-Skew

Eat-all-you-can and do-it-yourself restaurants serving different cuisines are everywhere! We think we've seen it all but a restaurant located at the busy Boy Scout Circle in Quezon City promises a unique dining experience.

Photoblog: The Aristocrat Food Tour

Last Sept. 8 was my first time to do a whole day food tour of the historic family restaurant, The Aristocrat!

Review: BR Chicken House

Had lunch with friends last August 28 at a new fast food chicken joint after our church's weekly meeting, located at Alimall's Food Gallery. We're lucky to try their food and drinks selection at discounted prices!

Fellowship: Yakimix, The Podium

The females in our church family planned a Friday night out, like having dinner somewhere or dance and sing the night away at Redbox. Last minute change of plans, we merged our bonding time with the worship team + tech team + our friends from the US and agreed to have dinner at Yakimix Podium.

Fellowship: Cyma Greek Taverna

Yesterday morning I woke up with thoughts of eating Hummus for breakfast. I've yet to learn to make one, so I spent more time in bed daydreaming about my first time eating at Cyma.

Healthy Food Options for the Entire Family

One of the challenges of modern living is feeding the right food to the family. Working mothers, especially, are always confronted with problems on how to negotiate the avalanche of junk food available in the market today.

T.G.I. Friday’s offers Fourth of July Promo

Fourth of July is not just about freedom and independence, it is the mother of all things American. It has seeped through pop culture—inspiring music, literature, films and even food—making July 4 more than just a date, an anniversary, a celebration; it has become a way of life that most Americans live by.

What do you do when waiting for your flight to start boarding? Thanks to AIR ASIA CAFÉ, the tiresomeness of staring at your gate and waiting for the light to turn green can now be forgotten at the departure lounge of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 4.

A Taste of Sicily in Manila: Cantina Sicilianita

Have you ever tried eating in a bookstore? I did! Reading a book while eating is one of me-time activities.

Before you raise eyebrows, I know we're not allowed to bring in food and having a cafe integrated with the establishment allows its customers to eat in certain areas only.

But what if it's already inside?

Kebabers: First Kebab Fastfood Restaurant

Persian food helps me survive rough days -- especially during college and internship. It wasn't cheap per se, in my budget, but it keeps me filled until I clock out at 6PM (which is rare lol). Nowadays, I barely buy shawarma or kebab and stepping into a kebab fastfood restaurant on an early Saturday morning wasn't a bad idea at all.

Stop Over at Lucy and Elsie's Cuisine

After a long way's drive from Makati City to Rizal, Laguna for the blessing of the first Bottle Center for the Aged last March 2013, we had lunch at Lucy and Elsie's Cuisine.

Daily Essentials to a Healthy Body

Keeping your body fit is a lifetime commitment and a year-round activity. But it doesn’t get as much attention as it does during the summer months, when our bodies are displayed in full glory – showing how much we have cared for, or neglected, the daily essentials to keep fit and healthy.

Barley, super food with amazing nutritional value

One of the more evident uses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), which belongs to the grass family that produces an edible whole grain, was for beer production and dates back to circa 3500–3100 BC in Iran, while the Greeks utilized its properties for cereal and porridge preparation.

For ancient Israelites, barley was an important ingredient to make malt and bread, and provided Roman Gladiators (Hordearii or Barley Men) with super strength and stamina for combat. It also served as nutritious feed to domesticated livestock such as horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep and chicken.

BlackSoup Cafe + Artspace + Suspended Coffee

I have always read and heard about the different food spots near UP Diliman, but I can never really find people to go with me nor did I have the drive to go by myself. But we meet a lot of people and I'm happy they're foodies like me! Yey!

Together with my new friend and co-Saddleback Manila volunteer, Ivy, we went on our first food trip at Maginhawa Street.

Thin Is In: Café Lidia’s awesome thin-crust pizzas

According to history, thin crust pizzas aren’t really a product of Italy; they came from Punjab, India and was brought by immigrants to the Roman Empire, although this is yet to be verified. In Italy, pizza is known as the food for the lower class people of 18th century, flat and unleavened bread topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves. While modern-day pizza lovers dig the New York-style per-slice goodness of Lombardi’s or the deep-dish sinfulness of Chicaco-style pizzas, nothing beats the magic of thin-crust pizzas. In the Philippines, there are only a few shops that captured the authentic thin-crust style. One of them is in Marikina: Café Lidia.
