Restaurant Review: Tambayan Sa Kanto at The Podium

Restaurant Review: Tambayan Sa Kanto at The Podium by jerellt abenoja

We scanned the menu which was placed outside the restaurant, and we were immediately convinced to give it a try. I was expecting the interiors to be rugged to stand by its name. Sa Kanto kasi kaya akala ko may mga basag na bote ng beer tapos ‘yung bangko ng tambay ang upuan! Haha! But a homey and a bit classy kind of tambayan welcomed…

Restaurant Review: Ramen Yushoken

Restaurant Review: Ramen Yushoken by jerellt abenoja

My husband and I found ourselves back in the South once again when I got an invite to try out a new vegan café in Alabang. Not wanting our gas and toll expenses to go to waste, we then grabbed the chance to have another unplanned and spontaneous staycation in one of the hotels in Alabang. I’ll reserve both stories on separate posts,…

Je Tries to Cook: Beef Caldereta

Je Tries to Cook: Beef Caldereta by jerellt abenoja

Caldereta is one of the staple dishes in the Kolokoy Household because we all love anything spicy. Even Boyet who used to hate it now likes eating spicy food. So when I asked Mama Kolokoy to take a break from the kitchen, she suggested that I cook beef caldereta. I grew up thinking that this is a very difficult dish. But I proved…

Je Tries to Cook: Ginisang Pechay

Je Tries to Cook: Ginisang Pechay by jerellt abenoja

Je Tries to Cook: Ginisang PechayThe Kolokoy Household only eats fish or vegetables for dinner. We stick to this kind of diet except for very special occasions. I was having second thoughts in sharing this recipe because I was thinking that this is “too easy” for most of my readers. But I figured that a lot of working wives/moms are…

Je Tries to Cook: Bistek Tagalog

Je Tries to Cook: Bistek Tagalog by jerellt abenoja

Je Tries to Cook: Bistek TagalogBistek Tagalog is one of my favorite Filipino dishes. Mama Kolokoy does it so well that even my officemate, Abby, gets so excited each time she sees that my lunch box has Bistek Tagalog. My Mama’s version is so good that I never even thought of trying to cook it. But thanks to the August long weekend, I…

Restaurant Review: 100 Miles Café

Restaurant Review: 100 Miles Café by jerellt abenoja

Joie and I decided to meet one Thursday afternoon after work. Deciding where to have dinner seemed to be a difficult task given that BGC has blossomed into a foodie’s haven. We were supposed to eat in a specific restaurant at The Fort Strip, but it is not serving pasta dishes, the one thing that Joie was craving at that time. I…

Restaurant Review: Pasta Roni

Restaurant Review: Pasta Roni by jerellt abenoja

We stumbled upon an article that listed the 10 underrated restaurants in BGC. (See post here.) Since choosing for a place to have lunch every Friday (which happens to be our “lunch out day”) has started to become a struggle, this list helped us discover some hidden gems in BGC. The first restaurant from the list that we got to try was…

Review: The Custaroonery (Gigi Gaerlan Custaroons)

Review: The Custaroonery (Gigi Gaerlan Custaroons) by jerellt abenoja

During the first two times that Boyet and I went to St. Pio Chapel, I failed to remind myself to check out the famous custaroons by Gigi Gaerlan. But on our third time, I made sure to set a mental reminder so I wouldn’t miss it again. We arrived too early for the 5:30 PM mass so Boyet and I decided to drop by the store. We were then…

Restaurant Review: Yabu

Restaurant Review: Yabu by jerellt abenoja

Much has been said about Yabu: The House of Katsu. Unfortunately, I am one of the very few losers who took a long time to give it a try. The endless queues and long waiting time definitely didn't appeal to me. I just wasn’t that interested to know what the buzz was about. When we went to Alabang Town Center last October, we saw an…
