Here’s another Bistro Group restaurant we finally got to check off our list! I’ve been wanting to try Las Flores Spanish Restaurant mainly because of their amazing interiors, second because, well, Spanish food. Need I say more?
There’s a new Vietnamese restaurant in town that we just happened to discover even before we saw it being featured on social media. If you want an honest review about Em Ha Noi Restaurant, keep reading.
La Creperie is now at S Maison in Pasay! I honestly don't remember whether I've seen it here before, but I went here for the first time last Friday since they are pet-friendly and I brought Churro with me.
Most people are familiar with Paradise Dynasty for their legendary xiao long baos, not to mention the signature 8 flavor variant that became the talk of the town, but there's actually more to this restaurant, and that's what my sister and I went for on our visit.
Pasay City is quickly becoming a haven for food lovers in search for new restaurants to try. With the opening of several new malls in the area, choosing a place to have lunch at has never been easier. Let me walk you through one of the newest restaurant find in Met Live Mall.
Nothing beats a good Italian feast with friends and family, and although we are inclined to discovering new ways to elevate every dish, it always feels comforting to have a taste of our classic favorites every now and then.
Let me take you to a trip down memory lane as we indulge in Italianni's best-kept secrets all over again at their new branch in S Maison.
Frito Misto P895
The Frito Misto, which is a basket of fried calamari, fish, shrimps, eggplant, and zucchini served with a trio of dips (marinara, pesto mayo, and honey mustard) makes a good starter. It's fresh, it's got the crunch, and it's got the variety that will make you want more.
Other appetizers you could go for are the liver pate P395 and the romano chicken caesar salad P595.
Country Rigatoni Pasta P695
Their country rigatoni pasta, made with al dente rigatoni pasta, Italian sausage, chicken, pancetta, cannelini beans, vegetables, and parmesan butter, is a light but meaty choice for carbs.
Salmon Pesto Linguini P645
It's my first time to try the salmon pesto linguini (and I can't believe I haven't until now) but I quickly fell in love with it! It's made with tomatoes, parmesan, and pesto cream. What I loved about it was the perfect balance between the pesto and cream. The cream wasn't too heavy and the basil in the pesto wasn't too strong. The chopped parsley added to the accent of flavors the sauce brought. And finally, huge chunks of nicely cooked salmon to top this incredibly delicious dish off.
Poached Salmon P795
If you feel like skipping the carbs, then the poached salmon is something you may want to consider. It's a huge slab of salmon served on a bed of herbed potatoes, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, and red sauce that's got a bit of a kick.

Looking for pet-friendly cafes in Metro Manila can be a bit tough. Most restaurants only allow pets in the outdoor area, but we found this cafe that caters not just to pet lovers, but to pets!
Mazu Seafood Restaurant is one of the restaurants housed in what I call the "better dampa", Seascape Village beside Sofitel Manila. It's located at the seaside area, which has a perfect view of the sea and a perfect feel of the sea breeze should you wish you dine outdoors.
The Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City has seen lots of developments in the recent years that has passed, and that includes new malls and restaurants to explore!
Adding to the increasing number of food choices around Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay is another original from the same people who brought Filipinos Jin Joo Korean Grill.
Sze-Chuan cuisine has been known to be have strong and extremely spicy flavors. It's the kind of food best enjoyed during the winter, as its spice helps people cope with the cold weather.
Seafood is probably one of the most expensive food you can crave for. Most seafood restaurants offer our favorite shrimps or crabs at a price that varies depending on weight, and it almost always ends up costing us way too much that just leads to our dissatisfaction or regret!
Everyone seems to have cough and colds these days, myself included. Since my throat has been sore for the past couple of days, I opted to have meals that are healthier and less oily. Hence, we ended up with having Vietnamese food.
There are a lot of restaurants to have dinner in around SM Mall of Asia, but choosing just one of them proves to be insanely difficult. I don't remember how I came up with the decision to meet my friend at Cafe Mary Grace, but she got so excited when I suggested it, and so did I!
We've known Samgyupsalamat ever since my college days, when they only had one branch and didn't offer unlimited KBBQ.
I was able to try Locavore back in June this year, and that experience didn't go as expected. Nevertheless, I vowed to return to give the most loved Filipino restaurant in the Metro a chance to redemption.
Chateaubriand Premium Steak Restaurant is a new buffet restaurant in Metro Manila, serving unlimited Churrasco in a fine dining setup.
Before Korean barbeque restaurants pop out of every corner of the streets, and even before the samgyupsal became a craze, there's this simple, charcoal-grill restaurant offering unlimited items buffet style.
During the days when I was still a teenager, I've always found it fun to savor everything that I eat and try to guess the ingredients and cooking method used to prepare each dish. Back then, I didn't know a lot of restaurants, but I do know Mesa, being one of my favorite Filipino restaurants in Manila.
