Last Christmas, I made a pretty thorough research about the best lechon available in the metro, and came up with a list with all the prices, contact details, and location. After our office Christmas party, I never saw that list again. I thought it won't be of use to me again, until my mom decided to wish for one to be served at her birthday party. 

Bistro Remedios is one of the first ever restaurants built by the LJC group. It has been through a lot over the past years, undergone some major changes, but the beautiful history and inspiring story of passion inscribed within its walls remains. It's also one of the first restaurants to show the founder's formula for a pleasurable dining experience that has proven to be loved by its patrons. To put it simply, LJC Group customers can expect the full satisfaction of all their senses on every visit. On September of each year, LJC celebrates the LJC month, and one exciting event to look out for is the Festival of Flavors.

The Pig Pen is a restaurant located at Legaspi Village, Makati City. My first impression of it is that it only offers or prides itself with dishes made of pork, given its name, but I was terribly wrong. The Pig Pen offers a wide range of food selections, and we were able to try a bunch of them as we embarked in a gastronomic eatsperience in this restaurant.

In this day and age full of fast, instant, processed food, keeping healthy just keeps getting more difficult, unless you have a lot of time and money to spare. Good thing there are still a few shops that want to make the world a better place by  providing better food options, including the famous submarine sandwich shop, Subway.

Potluck parties? I know, we're all scrambling to find the perfect and convenient food service provider in the metro, especially when all the other universal potluck dishes have already been picked, and you have no other choice. You have to go the extra mile to be able to bring something out of the ordinary. 

Overdoughs is a new kiosk located at Century City Mall. They offer 3 kinds of doughs (mini donuts) to choose from to be paired with a choice from 6 dips available for P120. The loukoumades is coated with sugar before fried. The donut holes is a typical donut we are used to eating, except it is bite-sized. Lastly, the beignets are coated with powdered sugar. 

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory has been raved about by the foodie community for so long because of their precious cheesecakes and cheese biscuits. Now that almost everyone has experienced one of Tokyo's finest, I must admit that all the buzz has toned down, but no for long as this franchise from Japan unleashes their own devilish cheese ice cream.

Lava has stormed its way into the hearts of many food fanatics, even those who aren't die hard cheese lovers like me, with their cheese tarts. Lava has once again thrilled us as they unveil their own version of a soft serve cheese. For P85, you can get a cone of their soft serve. For P130, you can add 3 toppings of your choice to your soft serve. 

My siblings and I have tried to invade Hogs and Cattle last December 31, 2016. We failed in that conquest. It was almost impossible to try it without a reservation. We were disappointed, but we never stopped longing for their unli wagyu promo, so we booked a table again last June. 

Village Tavern is a franchise restaurant from The Bistro Group family. Its concept was designed to bring customers to a modern tavern setting for a gathering for great American food, crafted drinks, and entertainment.

I may not be in the food blogging world for too long, but I've experienced enough to make me conclude that it's not all fun and games. The hunt for restaurants serving delicious food is just one side of the picture. Sometimes, eating the same dish from different restaurants over and over again can be tiring. And that's when I realized, if I really want to explore this field, I have to open my palate to a variety of diverse cuisines that may taste unfamiliar but boast extensive flavors. In this quest of mine, I discovered Jack's Joint in Banawe that serves Turkish cuisine for a reasonable price.

Buffet restaurants have seen a huge success in the country in the recent years that some of them forget about the quality of the food they are serving. Now I am a huge fan of almost everything eat all you can, whatever cuisine those might be. Despite not having an appetite as huge as my brothers, eating at buffet restaurants has always been worth the price for me, since I get to eat a variety of food items of my choice, and this new promo from Morganfield's is no different.

The unagi festival is Japan's summer tradition wherein people indulge in delectable eel dishes. Now I haven't had this fish yet (ever!) and I haven't been to Japan either, but it's the one country I've been dreaming about visiting because of the unique and mouth-watering food they offer. Yes, we may have those here, but they say that no one can prepare these food items the way the Japanese do. 

My boyfriend and I were at Marikina Heights last weekend, and I took it as an opportunity to try the places around the area that I've been meaning to try. First on that list is Greg and Sally's Garden Cafe, which is also the closest to where we came from. But, seeing that it is a garden cafe with open areas, we decided not to push through with it fearing the intense heat we might have to endure, so we headed to the next one. However, when we arrived Lilac st., the place was full and there were no parking spaces available! So we headed back to Greg and Sally, and it was the best decision we made that day.
