Mesa's 12 Baked Scallops

Seafood appetizer! I just remember how we started 2015 with a New Year lunch at Mesa and had this tasty appetizer. [...read me]


Nipa Hut's Kare Kare and Bulalo

A little far from where we usually dine, this place will be remembered for both its food and the view it offers. [...read me]


Manam's Turon with Mango and Kesong Puti

Could be a snack, could be a dessert. Turon's crispiness plus sweet and salty flavors is a sure merienda or dessert treat. [...read me]


KKK's Tibok tibok

Two dessert items on this list! Dessert should be equally good as the main dishes in every meal. [...read me]



Barbara's Cultural Experience at Intramuros

Sometimes, it's not all about the food. The ambiance and location also contributes to the dining experience. Situated within the walled city, just across San Agustin church which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and within Casa Manila, this is a good venue to feel the historical Filipino vibe.

KKK: Food for the Revolutionary

Celebrating Bonifacio day this long weekend, we write about KKK - a restaurant with the same name as the revolutionary group led by the hero. We bought an online discount voucher for this.

The place is decorated with the likeness of a nipa hut - walls covered like this.

A paper mache of a pair of Filipinos accompany each table. You can munch on complementary kropek while waiting for your order.


Pancit Luglog

This comes with fried tofu and chicharon toppings.


Kare Kareng Baka

A mix of beef chunks and tripe in a chunky peanut pumpkin sauce with bagoong on the side is served. Kare kare is already a staple when we try out Filipino restaurants.


Pinitpit na Manok

Grilled chicken fillet with tamarind sauce on the side is up next. The sampaloc sauce is like a sour tamarind candy but with less sugar. The meat itself is a little dry but it goes well with the sauce.


Tibok tibok

This one is the favorite. It is a maja blanca, but richer and thicker. Carabao's milk is used for this. It's quite filling and the serving size is bigger than the usual round kakanin that you can finish in two bites.


Unlike our recent visits to other Filipino restaurants, food here is relatively not that salty.
