The Red Crab Series: The Flying Pig - Eastwood

With my very hungry stomach and salivating fangs, I was led to one of the best themed restaurants that I've been to - The Flying Pig in Eastwood, Libis. So let's fly with these pigs and let me share to you my second The Red Crab Restaurants series.

Designed the pop-culture way,  who wouldn't be intrigued with what this very inviting and very young restaurant in Eastwood Mall have, right? The furniture, the lighting and the funny pig superheroes, oh, for sure, boys and men would love to sit in here and enjoy the funny and cool caricatures made specially for this restaurant.

According to the manager in charge on the time we visited the place, it evolved from something formal dining place to a haven for comic book lovers and young family who wanna enjoy their dishes the home-style way.

The Red Crab Series: John Bamboo - Nuvali

Though, only a few of us have tasted and really know that there’s an Indonesian Cuisine, I’m glad that I’ve got to experience my first try of their cuisine through the amazing creations and preparations of Chef Peter and Chef Nur of John Bamboo at Nuvali, Laguna.

Nuvali being now known as a place where people and nature thrive, it now offers the most delectable and satisfying yet affordable restaurants in the south  that you can really enjoy. With its breath-taking scenery and very relaxing atmosphere, Nuvali is a perfect choice to spend a weekend’s lunch or dinner with you family or friends.

And last week, as I was invited to have a taste of Indonesian dishes, I can truly say that John Bamboo and Nuvali is one of the dining experiences that I would love to do every weekend.

And to start off this dose of Indonesian dishes, let me share to you a little story on how did they came up with such an idea.

2011 Summer Treats from Californiaberry!

My first love frozen yogurt is back in vengeance as they present awesome cool treats that you, your friend and your family will surely enjoy! 

I got to try these wonderful treats during their 1st Bloggers Party, and of course, nothing tasted better than free treats, right? Hehe. Just kidding!

Here's my honest to goodness say about this tummy-filling and body-chilling treats! Californiaberry time!

A Hearty Dinner at O'sonho Jupiter

Pronounced as o-sonyo, this Portuguese restaurant located at Jupiter Street in Makati City will not just give you an astonishing gastronomic Portuguese adventure but also a hearty, Filipino-style warmth of welcoming that you and your busy buddies can enjoy after a day of hard work.

This is my second time to dine at O'sonho, but my first time to try it here in Jupiter Street, Makati.

I had a chance to try their dishes first in their Eastwood Mall branch, and I'd say that even though the place was kinda a little off for me because it is facing the other way around, I got to enjoy their food so much that made me appreciate Portuguese cuisine.

On this hearty dinner that I had in their first branch, I was welcomed by one of the owners, Cris Barancik, who made my Portuguese gastronomic adventure comeback more heart-warming and fun.

Mexican Love at B & T Mexican Kitchen!

I never thought that there's this place in San Juan where they offer Mexican dishes that you'll enjoy to create and to eat! And that's where my feet and my hungry tummy led me last week - a place where the heart and hands of Filipino created some Mexican love in this Mexican Kitchen!

I think a lot of us had Mexican food and drinks before, and we all know that their dishes have something in common to Spanish Cuisine, but little we know, Mexican cuisine has this authentic flavors that are very close to our own cuisine... No wonder Family Tan braved in and took the plunge of having Burritos & Tacos Mexican Kitchen or simply B & T Mexican Kitchen here in our country. ^_^

A Taste of Cavite at Cavite Republic

Have you ever been in a restaurant where you enjoyed every thing that it's whole place has to offer? I mean its whole place, whole city, whole province?

If not, here is the moment where I can share to you how grateful I was I attending the the Enriching Cavite's Tourism at Republic of Cavite, Trece Martirez, Cavite last March 20.

With nothing but the best of the Province of Cavite, if it was my first to be in Cavite that day, I would believed that Republic of Cavite is Cavite's capital... Thank God I've been in Cavite a lot of times and I'm quite familiar with the province! ^_^

But with this Enriching Cavite's Tourism seminar, I was surprised to know that Cavite holds a lot more! Waterfalls, churches, markets... They have a great variety of tourist spots that local and international tourists would love to see, really!

Super Mango at Dairy Queen!

Yes! Summer time is here! And as the summer heat goes up, we prepare our tanning lotion, beach shorts, floaters and our most favourite food during summer - ICE CREAM!

And last week, I indulged to an overpowering, overloading and over-the-top treat with one of my favourite ice cream chains, Dairy Queen!

With their new offerings for this summer, I'm sure MANGOholics will enjoy every cool delights that they have!

Balut Substitute at World Class Persian Kabab

I'm addicted to "balut" these past few days and it came to the point that my nape started feeling numb and hurt at the same time, that's why my parents and siblings told me to stop eating "balut." Plus, I'm allergic to it, giving me rashes. Aw... :-(

Thank goodness, my blogger-friends invited me to dine at World Class Persian Kabab. Wee!

They have two branches as far as I know, one at Tomas Morato area and one in Ortigas Avenue, San Juan area. And since we were in Ronac Art Museum that day, we dined at San Juan.

Sweet Treats by Paradizoo

Aside from the wonderful learning experience young and adults can acquire from this heavenly place, they also offers such wonderful tummy delights that we can all enjoy! In behalf of my friends from Paradizoo in Mendez, Cavite, let me share to you these sweet treats that everyone can enjoy at Paradizoo!

Just before reaching the relaxing and scenic place of Tagaytay City, spare some time to discover other tourist spots in Cavite that you'll surely enjoy.

Paradizoo is a themed park with zoo that is now a known destination in the south. With 10 hectares of land, housing different livestock animals, beautifully colored flower farm and green and leafy vegetable farms, Paradizoo offers yummy treats that I got to enjoy last weekend when I got to see their 1st AgriFestival.

Rowena's Cafe at Tagaytay

As promised, here's my blog about Rowena's Cafe.

Rowena's Cafe is considered as one of the popular "pasalubong" shops in Tagaytay City. Primarily, catering to our sweet tooth, Rowena's has also a line of delicious Pinoy finger foods that young and adults can enjoy.

Rowena's became popular because of their tarts. When I spent my weekend at Nurture Spa Village, one of the delectable desserts that I enjoyed and loved was the ube tart from Rowena's, that's why when we were about to leave Tagaytay, I asked our group to drop by at Rowena's to buy some "pasalubong".
