Ma Maison may look very intimidating but truth is, it’s not the kind of restaurant that serves food at an unreasonable rate for a very small serving. This Japanese-Western restaurant boasts not only a laid-back homey interior but also a wide selection of truly appealing dishes. Let me take you to my excellent dining experience in my home.

Most meals come with side salad, miso soup and fruit but you also have an option to make whatever you ordered a set meal by adding only 55 pesos. I highly recommend that you avail of the set meals because their salad is one of the best that I’ve tasted. It’s a simple combination of greens and corn but what makes theirs different from the rest is their one of a kind dressing. It is quite difficult to explain because it tastes Japanese to me. It’s not the usual tangy, citrus or creamy dressing.

If there is one place in the Philippines that I’m more than willing to revisit, that would most probably be the province of Ilocos. There are so many tourist spots there that I haven’t been to, even if I’ve been there twice in the last 6 months. Calle Crisologo is what I consider as my happy place. I told my cousin, Janna that being there is already enough for me. I like the rich mood that that strip gives me. It’s so relaxing, comforting and takes you back to the olden days.

Longganisa Pizza. What is the point in going to Ilocos if you will not try their longganisa?

It was Monday and my mom and I went to Becky’s Kitchen to satisfy our Black Forest cravings and you know what happened next?  We forgot that they’re closed on Mondays. I was really sad that I wasn’t able to get hold of their Black Forest that’s why I promised myself that I’ll go back the next day and buy one, together with a small box of lemon squares.

Lemon Squares (P160/ half box of 6) First of all, I adore this dessert because it looks very inviting.

There are so many restaurants that my Mom and I have yet to try and one of those is Tramway. I learned about this from my friend and according to her, what makes this place so inviting is its very affordable price of 248 pesos for an eat all you can lunch or dinner.

They’re offering a fusion of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino food but based on my observation, it’s mostly Chinese cuisine.

Happy Labor Day!

They say that if you want a great pizza, call a cab. What else is a better cab to call than yellow cab? Yellow Cab has been in my top 3 pizza list for quite sometime already. I definitely love the freshness and aroma of their pizza.

18” New York’s Finest and Manhattan Meatlovers. I prefer New York’s Finest than Manhattan Meatlovers because there’s more story in that flavor. It’s a feast of both veggies and meat. The black olives and mushroom gives it a distinct taste that will make you take another slice. Nevertheless, I am still rooting for Manhattan Meatlovers because of the salami and Italian sausage.
