Date # 50: Lugang Cafe

For the Chinese food addicts out there, I think you’ll be delighted to know that Shanghai-based Bellagio Restaurant is now in Manila. They changed their name to Lugang Cafe, though, because “Bellagio” is a registered name here in the Philippines.
Lugang Cafe is definitely more modern than the...

I’m not sure if you remember the last time Douglas and I went to Charlie’s, but I think it’s obvious that we instantly fell in love with the place. We came back last week to try the other things on their menu.
I got their USDA Prime Cheese Steak Hungry Portion (P395). We also upgraded the cheese to...

I’ve been wanting to eat in Cyma for a long time now, because the last time I ate there was around three years ago, if I remember correctly. The first Cyma I’ve ever seen was in Boracay, their pilot branch. It was strikingly unique back then, because Greek cuisine was relatively unknown in the country.

Date # 45: Kai Neo Japanese Restaurant
For Tumblr Dashboard Viewers, click on the thumbnails to enlarge.
KAI Neo Japanese Restaurant is a Japanese-American Fusion restaurant located in Greenbelt 5. It is a nice restaurant to try because the prices aren’t too steep compared to other establishments within the area. The setting is stylish and chic, although I find the space a little bit cramped. It’s still good for dates,...

To be perfectly honest, it’s actually quite a hassle for us to go to Makati. The traffic is unbelievable and the distance is discouraging. However, we have been meaning to visit the city again one of these days because of its unique and delicious food offerings.
Last Tuesday, we were finally given the chance to...
