QC Eats: Chung Choon Yeon Ga

Posted on February 15, 2023February 14, 2023 by Karen

It was our aversion to the holiday restaurant rush that prompted us to visit a Korean barbecue joint in Tomas Morato. Chung Choon Yeon Ga is situated in Il Terrazzo, and it was such a respite during the busy Christmas season. Upon our entry, only one table was occupied. We had the freedom to choose…

QC Eats: Victorino’s

Posted on February 8, 2023February 8, 2023 by Karen

We had been visiting Victorino’s frequently for the past year but it had always been for another reason: Heny Sison’s cakes. This time around, Mr. B insisted on trying the savory dishes of the restaurant. Victorino’s was quite special as it is not only a Filipino restaurant, but it is also one that specializes in…

QC Eats: Alba v3.0

Posted on January 26, 2023January 26, 2023 by Karen

Among the restaurants around Tomas Morato, Alba is one of Mr. B’s favorites. It had been a few months since our last visit and it was time to head back. While we were on the way, we called to reserve a table and order a paella, as it takes time to be prepared. We were…

QC Eats: Dean & Deluca (An Update)

Posted on January 18, 2023January 18, 2023 by Karen

Shortly before the year ended, the branch in Scout Rallos was finally back in service. Yay! December 22 was its reopening date, but we were informed that only the first floor was operational. It was a week later when we finally had the opportunity to go back. Although it was a weekday morning, the restaurant…

QC Eats: Mama Lou’s Vertis North

Posted on January 11, 2023January 11, 2023 by Karen

I was able to visit the Mama Lou’s branch at Vertis North twice over the past two months, a far cry from my last meal which was many years ago at their UP Town Center branch. Although it’s been quite some time since branches opened up here in the north, this restaurant seemed to still hold…

QC Eats: Arya Persian Restaurant

Posted on January 4, 2023January 4, 2023 by Karen

It was a rare errand that prompted us to head to Robinsons Magnolia one Saturday afternoon. As I scoured for places to eat, one stood out: Arya Persian Restaurant. Mr. B had previously raved of their food after his visits to their branch at Shangri-la Plaza. It was Robinsons Magnolia, however, that housed the branch…

My Best Bites of 2022

Posted on December 30, 2022December 30, 2022 by Karen

As the year draws to a close, allow me to share with you my favorite bites from the entire year. Some of these I’ve already shared previously, but others would have a more detailed review in the upcoming posts. 1. Tonkotsu ramen from Ippudo Their shiromaru variant has some of the richest-tasting pork broth I’ve…

QC Eats: Kimono Ken SM North The Block

Posted on December 21, 2022December 20, 2022 by Karen

This casual restaurant was just a week from reopening when we had the opportunity to dine here. The interior looked very fresh and clean, with its muted tones and minimal decor. It was a weekday then, yet the restaurant had its fair share of patrons. On this occasion, we opted to try their sashimi, sushi…

QC Eats: Heny Sison Desserterie

Posted on December 18, 2022December 20, 2022 by Karen

It took me several visits throughout this year to finally get to taste most of Heny’s cakes. Her dessert shop is housed in Victorino’s restaurant, a converted space with an old world charm. I loved the clay floor tiles and the dark wooden furniture against the white walls and its ambiance was perfect for relaxed…

QC Eats: Dean & Deluca (Breakfast Edition)

Posted on December 14, 2022December 13, 2022 by Karen

Of all the places we had breakfasts in, it would be Dean & Deluca that would take the cake. I loved its modern minimalist interior, with the view of either the kitchen or the bar. Early on Saturday mornings, this was a place of calm, although admittedly sometimes the quality of service would put me…
