Joseph and Jaemark is back!

For those who don’t any idea what Joseph and Jaemark is, this is a place back in the late 80s to early 90s where celebrities used to dine in and enjoy a sumptuous and top of the class Filipino dishes. It was then located in Pasay City near Cuneta Astrodome, where people, celebrities alike, spent most of their, watching the B game.

And now, as the food industry in the country boot up again, the most love Tuna place is back with a better place at the very heart of Quezon City.

Fellas, let us all welcome Joseph and Jaemark’s Family Grill.

 

If you want try an all-Filipino feast with all of its distinctive flavours, drive now to J&J!

On my first experience to this newly revived place, I was quite not sure with what outstanding dish that they have to offer. First, the name of the place is quite a so-so to me. I mean, it’s not that catchy, especially to those who don’t know its history.

Reyes Barbecue Stopover

If there’s one dish that any family shouldn’t miss, especially a Filipino family, that’s the pasta dish. May it be red or white sauce, pasta is a must-have in any Filipino party. BELIEVE ME!

And last week, Reyes Barbecue, despite of its so-so name, came up with something perfect for every Filipino family – Creamy Chicken Fettuccini and Party-Size Barbecue.

I know how life seems so busy nowadays, so no wonder why these food establishments are coming up with these helpful treats that can ease our lives and at the same time fill our tummies with great food.

Celebrate Good Morning with Seattle’s Best Coffee

I’m a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy. Not only do I love the storyline and the characters in every episode, but I also love the wonderful skylines and sceneries of Seattle, Washington.

And so, when I received an invitation to have breakfast at Seattle’s Best Coffee, there’s only one answer that best fits to that – YES, I’d come!

I’m honestly saying that I’m no fan of SBC. Not that I don’t like their coffee, it’s just that most of my friends prepare the other brand. But now, with this wonderful gathering that I experienced where I got to taste their latest offering, I think I’ll have a selling point to my friends to take them here and have a taste of this latest dishes and drinks.

Lechon Pizza by Pizza Hut, WTF!

That was my expression when I first saw their ad on TV. I, being a huge pizza lover, just felt sick when I saw that advertisement. What on earth was that? Who the hell would that? For sure the taste of that Pizza Hut's Lechon Pizza is just so gooey.

But I was wrong… ALL WRONG!

World’s Largest Bibingcrepe by Half Moon Asian Cafe

A first of its kind, I got to witness the first-ever and largest bibingcrepe I’ve seen in my whole life, and dear Lord, that was one huge piece of bibingcrepe! Hehehe.

 

Held last November 23 at Halfmoon Asian Cafe at Tomas Morato, Quezon City, I was invited with my fellow blogger to take part on this gigantic and momentous celebration of good friendship and good food.

CDO Holiday Ham with Chef Rob Pengson

This holiday season, one dish will surely never miss, the Holiday Ham.

So come and join Chef Rob Pengson as he shared to us one simple way on how to prepare this delightful Yuletide dish!

The Sweet Surrender 2010

I got to attend the Sweet Surrender dessert exhibit of Good Fellas Production, which was held last week at Sitio Elena at the far, far away land of Taytay, Rizal. It took me two hours to get there from our home in Tondo, and hell, yeah, it’s all worth the effort!

There were around 10 exhibitors there who showcased and shared their mouth-watering creations. They are, Med Chef, Ernaline’s Food Haven, Dragonfly Desserts, Gigi’s Custaroons, Bardeli’s Deli and Liquor Mart, The High School Cook Book, Desserts Avenue, Muffins by Doris and there’s Chef Laudico’s BFast, too, who served as the guest judge for the mini contest that the organizers had for this exhibit.

GoodFellas Steaks and Burger

If there’s one steak house that I’ve been dreading to try these past few days, that’ll be Good Fellas Steaks and Burgers at Kamuning Road in Quezon City. 

I’ve been hearing a lot of “not-so-good” stuff about this place, and now that I’ve got an invitation to try this place and experience the Good Fellas taste and style, I think it’s time to somehow prove them wrong.

On my first-ever visit, we tried different stuff from every category of their menu.

Indulge with Sweet Surrender

One thing about holidays is that there are a lot of exhibits or trade fair about food. There are exhibits or trade fairs for local dishes, international cuisines, up and coming food establishments and some are exhibits that showcased dishes that are perfect for this coming holiday - may it be for groups, families, friends, may it be for lunch, for dinner, for merienda and my most favourite part, for dessert.

That's why I'm sharing to all the food lover/dessert lovers in the metropolis this great news! This coming Saturday, November 13, at Sitio Elena at Origas Avenue Extension, a grand fair of mouth-watering, eye-catching and captivating aroma dessert that you can find in and out of the metro - the Sweet Surrender.

The Sisig for the Vegetarians

They may not admit it, but I can feel how envy vegetarians are every time they hear the word "sisig" or see someone enjoying a sizzling plate of pork sisig with egg on top. Oooh, the smell, the craclking sound and the wonderful taste... I can't blame them.

Well, now, since I got a chance to visit the exhibit of Likha ng Central Luzon, lemme share to you, my dear vegetarian readers, this wonderful offering that came from the leading onion producer and main rice growing province of the country, Nueva Ecija!

Rustan's Red Tag Sale is My Winning Lotto Ticket!

Remember the Rustan's gift check that I received from winning in a game on an event a few months ago? Well, here's what happened to it.

Since I'm having a hard time looking for some nice looking, branded clothes that can go with my budget (the worth of that gift check), I decided to dump the idea and the luck that I'll be able to find something at Rustan's.

Rustan's sucks! BIGTIME!

One of my greatest dream really, being the poor guy me, is to go on a shopping spree at Rustan's. Unfortunately, that will not happen anytime soon... *sigh*

I can never afford to shop at Rustan's...

Big Daddy's Chicken Chops set to Counquer Pinoys' Love for Chicken

Being in the business for almost two years now, Big Daddy's Chicken had its first branch at Greenhills Mall. It's main goal is to share to all foodies the wonderful and yummy-tasting chicken chops of Taiwan. And with good partnership and passion for business and food, BDC managed to give its patron the food that they want in a quick span of time.

And now, as the good partnership of Kim and Jerry continues, they just recently opened Big Daddy's Chicken branch at the largest mall in Asia - SM Mall of Asia.

Located at the ground floor of the Entertainment Mall of SM Mall of Asia, I was invited to it's bloggers' night a few weeks ago, and though I'm not expecting much about it, I must say that their chicken - chicken chop - was really worth my time and effort.

Bubble Tea: Coffee out, BBT In!

Whenever I hear the word Tokyo, Osaka or any place in Japan, there's this butterfly thingy happening inside me that makes me so giddy and happy at the same time. I don't know what's that, but it always brings smile to my face.

When I was a kid, my father left for Japan to work. And until now, I feel really happy looking at his pictures during his stay there - the cool climate, the rich tradition, the fusion of minimalism and intricate designs and the wonderful Japanese dishes that I'm so in love with. I wanna go to Japan really soon!

But before I pursue this dream of mine, I wanna share to you all this new foodie haven that I visited at Tomas Morato - the Bubble Tea.

I remember, not so long ago, I got so addicted to this brand of pearl shake, that I even got to the point where I lose my voice because of drinking too much of it. Hahaha!

And now, I think, I'll be addicted again, but this time to a healthier and yummier drink - milk tea!
