La Scala Museum Cafe

With 16 rooms to accommodate their guests at the BnB, La Scala Museum Cafe proved to be more than a breakfast place.

It's a place full of character, memories, and love.

Not too many know about this cafe disguised as a museum or is it the other way around.  Either ways, once you enter, you'll be instantly sucked into a world of intriguing yet remarkable past. More than this, what sets this cafe (together with the hotel) from the others is how it was built upon - "the simple joys of life," as how the owner's children would want it to be represented.

Poison

I've promised myself to be good to my self, to live a healthy lifestyle, to give up on stressful factors of life and to surrender all to my God. 

But...

I still succumb to poison.

Wait...

Artheraphy, To Remind Us of the TRUTH!

Long, long time ago, after attending an event near E. Rod., I came across this cute coffee shop as I waiting for a cab ride.  It was on a rush hour so I had to just ask my husband to pick me up as it was hard to get a ride.  As I was waiting for him, I took shelter at this cute coffee shop, with a Biblical verse as if trying to invite me in.

Endless Kitchen Possibilities With Heritage Nuts and Dried Fruits

So my daughter just came in from school, and her welcome was, "Mom, why do you need to buy lots of nuts? Oh, I remember a joke!

Q: What do you call nuts on a wall?
A: Walnuts.
Q: What do you call nuts on your chest?
A: Chestnuts.
Q: What do you call nuts on your chin?"

She then stopped and said, "never mind, Mom."

I didn't quite get the last one, perhaps, you have an idea.

We have loved Racks for years, it's undeniable, and I'm sure for Racks-lovers like me will get thrilled now that they have brought to life a new resto concept suited for today's vibe - Rackshack.

Your Local: Sadly, Not in my Locale

This local neighborhood foodie joint had been keeping a low profile since it opened.  But with the outpour of reviews, it didn't escape from the foodies' radar. It did give a ring to my ears and had it written down in my "Must-visit place" way back in 2014.

Until a couple of weeks ago, when I X-ed out this item in my Foodie Manila Bucket List. 

Yay! It thought they would close down before I could even write about it or even try out the dishes.

After missing out a month for my re-validation of entry back to Manila from my Italian summer tour, I was able to visit Italian Embassy and planned a tour down Esteban St. from Salcedo St.

“Meat” Your Spicy Barbecued-Dream-Come-True: Racks Launches Smoked Chipotle Ribs

Think rich, dark-glazed, smoky ribs—the kind of dish that you don’t mind getting messy for. And when one thinks of ribs here in Manila, there is just one place that comes to mind: Racks.

You see, they aren’t called the #BestRibsinTown for no reason. With their reliable heavy slabs that are sure to satisfy, Racks is known for their classic formula—the same one they’ve been using since 1992.  While they have a much-loved hit on their hands, they sure don’t mind flipping the script and trying something new, well, I don't blame them, and I don't mind either to try out what else is left on their sleeves.

Another Story, A Restaurant One Needs to Discover in Evia

Another Story is a restaurant that I may bear comparison to a treasure trove of trinkets from an Asian tour.  The owner recounts that this resto is one from her story book.  It was the lady behind the equally romantic cafe in Tagaytay- Cafe Voila, who made this happen.  She's Ica Sebastian.  By the look of her resto, it seems that you get to know a part of her and her favorite food.

Named Milkshakes at Shakeaway

In my first time to explore Uptown Mall in BGC, I literally entered a candy store.  But it's not actually a candy store, but there are shitloads of candies in it, you could die of diabetes if you stay there for too long.

Mati's Meat and Bread

 
When we think of family, there's that term that stands synonymous to it - home.

Conveying the theme of family and home is what Mati's Meat and Bread strives for.  Getting inspirations from their own family celebrations plus the foundation which Melo's Steakhouse have banked on for years, the heirs of the aforementioned establishment invite everyone o visit Mati's at Festival Mall's River Park.

The Belle & Dragon: Not a Book Review

If you haven't been to Palanca Street Makati, then it's time you do.  I have actually been there a couple of times but I never realized there's a nice resto awaiting to be discovered.  It's identity is concealed on a building that evokes an old-world charm feel.

Fine Comfort Food at Stew

Eli Brown, author of the culinary novel Cinnamon and Gunpowder, so aptly spoke comfort food...

“Some foods are so comforting, so nourishing of body and soul, that to eat them is to be home again after a long journey. To eat such a meal is to remember that, though the world is full of knives and storms, the body is built for kindness. The angels, who know no hunger, have never been as satisfied.”

This is how I would sum up the lunch we had at Stew by Chef Michelle Adrillana.

Flat Iron by 1771, New Favorites Hot Off the Griddle

No, I'm not endorsing a new brand of flatiron (which I'm hoping I could) or am I telling a story of how I learned to iron clothes with a memorable flat iron.  This blog, as what it's supposed to is about a new restaurant that I recently tried with Visa credit card and eventually loved.
