Soi

Maybe because it's Father's Day today that is why we had such a bad service from this restaurant. I always have second thoughts of trying their food since most Thai restaurants serve the same Tom Yam and Pad Thai but since their always packed with people, it made me real curious. Well yeah.. same same..

Lorenzo's Way

Today we are celebrating our pre one year and 9th monthsary (kilig..lol). The second time I've been to Lorenzo's Way. Another LJC group of restaurants together with Fely J's, Cafe Adriatico and Abe. We tried their version of Crispy Pata... succulent, crunchy and the meat is literally falling off the bone. We actually got the left overs packed to go.  With the big serving we got, I feel that the old lady near our table was thinking while watching us "mga sikmurang kargador" (appetite of a porter). haha! Their Paella Marinara is a must try too!

I have tasted Xiao Long Bao when I visited Singapore last year. My first bite feels heaven. I fell in love with it. Then I tried looking for one here in Manila but unluckily I was not able to. Then I saw this new Chinese restaurant in town.. Oh my.. It's Xiao Long Bao indeed they have.. The soup inside that small dumpling.. all I can say is grabe!

Chef Laudico Guevarra's

The nostalgic ambiance of an old Filipino-Spanish house matches their fusion of Pinoy cuisine in a buffet. Price is very reasonable though the location is a bit far from the restaurant strip of Wilson St. Better to bring a car when you go there. Their Angus beef kare-kare is a must try
