Graduates get a treat from Sambo Kojin Yakiniku Smokeless Grill. When you dine in and bring a proof that you are a graduate, you get a free drink and stuffed toy.
There was a good mix of meat, poultry, and seafood slices aside from desserts, sushi, kimchi, and other Korean and Japanese favorites. Yakiniku, basically, is grilling thin strips of meat – maybe marinated or not.
A buffet lunch is at Php 495 each with no left over, in case there is, you will add Php 100. I think for dinner buffet it’s Php 595 per person.
We recently visited Sambo Kojin, which is located at the second floor of Somethin’ Fishy at the Eastwood City Walk. It was one memorable family day. Tatay enjoyed it the most having a penchant for Korean and Japanese food. The place is spacious and has high ceiling. So that even if it was a very busy lunch jam packed with new grads, there was still enough room to walk around getting food for grilling. The tables and aisle spaces were also at comfortable distance.
I’m looking forward to go back with family and friends to another good experience in Sambo Kojin. There is a newly open branch in Edsa and I’m hoping it’s as cozy as their Eastwood branch.

Scorching hot summer sun hasn’t prevented me and my friend, Abi, to walk our way to Kaiseki in the Fort Strip. Another friend, Rael, told me that, ” Kaiseki is more on using and bringing out the best in the available ingredients.”
We’ve spent a number of lunches together in this place trying out their various dishes but for some reason I haven’t blogged about it. Maybe I was, for one, so hungry I tend to forget about taking pictures. Two, when I’m with Abi, we tend to chat about sooo many things in our lives that we go through the hulla bulla of having a meal without noticing it haha.

The Sweet Life By Ange redefines the classic cupcake and brazo mercedes that we have been loving all these years.
Brazo de Mercedes aka Sweet Surrender
Imagine biting into a layer of graham with the creaminess of french vanilla ice cream mixing with the sweetness of custard… and the familiar yet different texture of soft meringue. This is the best seller of The Sweet Life by Ange called Sweet Surrender. This is a true winner and as the name suggests, anyone on a diet will surely surrender just to have it. Too bad I didn’t get a picture, it was a favorite there was nothing left in a few minutes. So here is one photo from flickr (just borrowing, it really is visually enticing apart from the real deal)…
Price: Small Box with Ribbon (4″ x 8″) @ Php 365; Square Box with Ribbon (8″ x 8″) @ Php 650
Couture Cupcakes
They are not simply cupcakes, they are called COUTURE Cupcakes. If you want to know why, just look at the pictures. For the taste, it’s for you to find out.. how? Place your orders from the numbers below

What makes office lunches a time well spent? For working people like me, this is an hour to rush… Does it seem enough to enjoy? Sometimes it’s not just the food that makes up this sixty minutes of break from tons of work load but also the people whom I spent it with. So for today why not have the best of both worlds right? Have a good meal and spend it with a dear friend. Cecil invited me to Pho24 Vietnamese Noodles in Power Plant Mall, Rockwell and it was such a good discovery.
It has been a long time since I had Vietnamese dishes. At first I was thinking, “Oh well, what should I expect but spring rolls and togue (bean sprouts)… just like expecting siew mai or siomai in Chinese restaurants, maki or sushi in Japanese restaurants, or pasta and pizza and Italian restaurants.” True enough there are togue and spring rolls, but they were not just togue and spring rolls. This particular dining experience in Pho24 has given me a good impression of Vietnamese dishes. It was more than just a Pho, which is thinly sliced meat in noodles soup or fancy spring rolls in rice wrappers.

One of the first food establishments in Forbes Town Center in 26th Street of the Bonifacio Global City is UCC Cafe Terrace. UCC is UESHIMA COFFEE CO., LTD (UCC) is a Japanese company in the coffee and related businesses.
UCC Cafe Terrace has an extensive menu just about right for anytime of the day, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whenever there is a feel to indulge and enjoy japananes fusion with a cup of UCC coffee. They also have wifi in the area and a choice of airconditioned area or the open terrace area (hence the name ‘Terrace’).
One of the popular past dish they have is the Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup (my fave is in tomato sauce). To start the day right, an enjoyable plate of garlic rice, veggie salad, red egg salad, spicy spanish style bangus (milkfish), and a cup of coffee is a good choice.

A number of events in my life had been made special by having Conti’s in our menu. With this, I’d like to share the new brochures of Conti’s. I remember two years ago, it was so difficult to get information about Conti’s online. the only number I saw was the Paranaque branch and the menu was sent via fax.
In one of the occasions we had, orders were picked up from Greenhils because the other choice was just Paranaque. But now they also have Serendra and Trinoma branches already. Having Conti’s as part of special moments to celebrate My Life Joys has been, so far, worth every centavo and more.
HIghly recommending their Mango Bravo and Strawberry Shortcake.

Summer is here and there is no better way to welcome the season than our version of Amazing Race in Binakayan, Cavite. With friends and bloggers, we were invited to Detour: Island Cove Adventure. It is my first time in Island Cove and I’d say I was impressed with the diverse offerings that they have for the whole family.
I say diverse because they cater to the interests from fishing, singing, outdoor fun such as swimming (with slides!), and paintball. Kids and kids once will also enjoy and learn about nature in the butterfly farm and zoo featuring crocodiles, about 35 monkeys, ostriches, cassowary, lions, deer, and a lot more. I suggest, you see for yourself, hehe.
For people who like the night life, they also have Patron where BBZ is served. Yes, Beer Below Zero. Island Cove so far is the only establishment in Cavite that serves BBZ.

It was a very early Dec 31 while me and my dad were on our way to Farmer’s Market all the way from Batangas.
Still sleepy, I already have a very fat crab in mind as part of the New Year’s festivities. Media Noche as we call it. And because we will not be going back right after buying seafoods, we made sure to stack an ice-full of chest in the trunk. This is good also for crabs. If these crustaceans gets ‘stressed’ before cooking, all the aligue will definetly be gone before you know it.
So what’s the secret recipe for this? Just a bit of salt in water. Make sure to put in just enough water to steam the crabs in a pot, say, 1.5 cups in a big pot with a kilo of crabs. The crabs should not be swimming in so much water so as not to overboil the aligue and crab meat, when it’s overboiled, they are watery and a bit bitter.
