Sura Asian Bistro
(Chicago) – I used to love this place. My first dinner at Sura was about 4 years ago and came back for many more lunches and dinners afterwards. However, a common observation among friends, which I seconded, was that the […]
Restaurants
Durebak at H-Mart
(Chicago) – I just fell in-love with H-Mart the first time I went there. It is a huge Korean grocery store selling fresh produce/seafood, authentic Korean stuffs and other Asian, including Filipino, products. It has counter service restaurants and some […]
Never Ending Sushi at Sushi Para D
(Chicago) – There are lot of sushi buffets in Chicago but most of them are crappy, in all sense of the word. From overcooked mushy cold rice, stale seafood pieces, crumbly roll slices and so on. Actually, all-you-can-eat restaurants will […]
Good Lunch Deal at Caliterra
(Chicago) – Frankly speaking, I have never heard of Caliterra before. I just went to this place in order to use a restaurant.com gift certificate. I brought with me 2 of my friends for lunch and we’re surprised to find […]

(San Diego) – I was excited for my first dinner in San Diego, but it almost got ruined by the glasses of free wine and snacks that I gorged the whole afternoon in the hotel lobby. In short, it was […]

Food For Thought
(Singapore) – It was a rainy Friday lunch break and one of our colleagues suggested a place for our usual Friday lunch outs 2 blocks away from our office – Food For Thought. The place has a nice, relaxing and […]

(Singapore) – After getting off work, my cousin and I met up at Bugis Junction to have dinner at Nando’s, a recently opened franchise serving Portuguese-style flame grilled chicken or often called “Peri-peri” chicken. We tried it first in Kuala […]
Breakfast at Uncle Mike’s
(Chicago) – Something’s really odd with this place. They open too early at 5am and closes too soon at 3pm. It is a Polish diner with typical diner fares like burgers and sandwiches – and yet, it has Filipino breakfast […]
Artful, Exquisite Riot at RH
(Los Angeles) – Just recently, I went to San Diego for a weekend getaway. Since Los Angeles is not too far away, my friends and I decided to drive and spend Sunday night there. I was super thrilled and my […]
