Mango Shortcake

Random people often call me to ask for the number of that famous Yulo strawberry shortcake .. Well my Lola N makes her own (non-commercial, for-the-family) version of that PLUS remixes -- like this mango shortcake! Yun o. #YuloHomeCooking

Hole iN the Wall

Keeping it light with the @gardemangerph spin on ceviche with lato and suha!

 

Quinoa, shiitake and tofu spring rolls from @gardemangerph

 

And finally - Yes, Blé is still at @holeinthewallph -- and their felafel souvlakis rock!

Ogawa

Super famished last night from fasting - so I wanted to hit up something light but satisfying and I found THIS: yummy oden, one of my favorite things to eat ever! Available off a cart at @ogawa.manila in BGC! Woo! Eat with lots of mustard! 🤘🏼 #Ogawa

Oyster teppan at @ogawa.manila -- another winner! ‪

7 kinds of sashimi - very generously cut by sushi master Ogawa himself. Great value for money!

Alpabasa

This is my friend Tisha Gonzalez-Cruz. She's developed a way of teaching Filipino called ‪#‎Alpabasa‬ .. Right now she's using her material to train teachers to use the system, one that will help public school students transition to English easily as well. I believe her work is essential for us and for the betterment of our future -- and she goes about it all quietly and without fanfare. She is quite the inspiration! This classroom, the first of many, was made into a bright and cheery space where the students can enjoy learning through a few humble pledges for her ‪#‎AdoptATeacher‬ program. Think about that when you make your next fund raising activity! 😁 It goes without saying - we need more people like her. CHECK IT. ❤🤘🏼🇵🇭

Back Alley

New sandwich centric joint at #TheGroveByRockwell called #Alley 😁 

A beautiful and healthful piece of grilled salmon on cauliflower purée from young gun Thirdy Dolatre

A riff on a Reuben - corned beef belly, Emmenthal, and slaw on house made molasses bread

Drunken fuds from @alleyrestaurant -- soy chicken rice, poached egg and pickled veg ... you'll know what it's for when you eat it!

Cheese pimiento na grilled cheese

Opens for lunch and dinner Feb 1.

Susi

Once again chasing the sexeh bod by taking in food that's good for you. I seriously could eat here all the time at @susiph -- this lentil, beer and mushroom "bacon" salad is amazing!

Mushroom "foie gras" and gluten free bread. 

Yummeh! "The Chimichurri" - a beet burger with chimichurri, pico de gallo and "cream cheese". Super satisfying!

A brunch item -- the "Jose Rizal" -- mushroom "chorizo", garbanzo "eggs", spinach and brown rice. Pass the vinegar!

Susi is a Vegan restaurant - but I like it because the owner really insists her food taste good, even for non-vegans.

Take A Bow

Some people have written eulogies.. some, like myself, have sat thinking about how big an impact his passing has unexpectedly had. And then there are some who will play the music (I know I will before I nod off). 

Oh man.. there aren't many left like him. Salamat, David Bowie.
