It has been six months since I had a memorable gastronomic experience at Yabu: The House of Katsu but it was only this time that I finally muster all the guts to write a post about it. Aside from losing all the pictures I had during this trip, which I eventually recovered, I veered away from doing such since making this post only meant one thing - reliving the experience I had at Yabu.

Even if I am a self-professed Japanese food lover, I have always been loyal to the raw Japanese dishes  so much that cooked delicacies would surely envy the attention I'm giving them. But when I read about Yabu on my blogger feed, my curiosity got ignited so much that it gained the top of my go-to list if ever I'll be in Manila. So when I was sent to Manila for a seminar, I made sure that I got to tick off this entry on my list.

I opted for the Menchi Katsu set which is made up of authentic Japanese minced meat of superior beef and pork, blended with Yabu's special spices and stuffed with creamy cheese. I was initially inclined to order the Rosu Set but then I thought that it will just be like any other Tonkatsu in the market, so I went for the Menchi Katsu instead.  Aside from that, I'm biased when it comes to cheese. 

Whoever does not have any idea who Bruno Mars is after that superb performance during the NFL Super Bowl 2014 Halftime show must have resided in a different planet. And if there's one thing you would really wish after viewing his performance, then definitely it will be to see him perform live in front of you.  

Good news to all Filipinos! This amazing artist behind the phenomenal songs "Just The Way You Are" and "Locked Out of Heaven" is coming to Manila, Philippines on March 22, 2014 for the Moonshine Jungle Tour 2014 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.

Before I proceed with this quick post, let me first greet everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been a very busy December for me that's why I fail to update this blog more often. I know I have been guilty of missing in action but I do hope that this 2014, I'll be able to update this as often as I can. 

For days now, I've been craving for this Bacon breakfast from Cafe Demitasse. If I have enough room for a full meal every time I visit this place, I always opt to order bacon, which can be paired either with a waffle or a cup of rice. Some of my friends don't like it because of the flour coating but I like it as it is - crispy and not too overwhelming. Or simply maybe, you could blame my love for bacon for my unreasonable taste. I just love bacon that much that every bacon seems delicious.

Give it a try and tell me what you think.

This Christmas, indulge in something new by dining the Korean way! 

Bulgogi Brothers offers a delectable Beef Bulgogi Platter for Christmas season starting December 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014. There are two sets of beef bulgogi platter to choose from and one set is good for 3-4 persons for only P995.00 per platter.

I am not the usual "buffet foodie" but sometimes, stress takes too much toll on me that I succumbed to rewarding myself with good food. And although, there are a lot of buffet restaurants already available in the city, I bet that like me, you're the type who doesn't want to come back and taste the same food again and again, that's why trying out new buffet restaurants won't really hurt. 

For over a month of occupying my news feed in Facebook, I finally got to try the latest addition in the list of buffet restaurants in Davao City - the VIKINGS. Davao City was chosen to have their first branch outside Metro Manila, and take note, this restaurant is proud to be the largest buffet restaurant in the Philippines with a seating capacity of five to six hundred guests.

The interiors of their branch in SM Lanang Premier really blew me away making me feel like I was transported to a different location.  The restaurant was indeed really huge and that even though it is jam-packed with customers, it didn't give a claustrophobic feeling. Now, that's one good reason why hotel buffets should be threatened. 

Vikings boasts of seven stations with a full live show kitchen that also provides entertainment as their chefs showcase actual preparation of high-quality and fresh food. Allow me to share with you my latest gastronomic adventure at Vikings wherein I was one of the lucky bloggers invited to enjoy a luxurious buffet experience.
