Procacci Panini Tartufati, Firenze
I stumbled by this small shoppe while walking along Via Tornabuoni in Florence. Ok fine, we were shopping; the street alone is a dead giveaway. It looked like a charming shop, and the word tartufati meant only one thing. It’s Truffle Time. Entering Procacci is like walking into a turn of the century purveyor of...

Yabu, House of Katsu
There was quite a buzz about this new Katsu place right before December, and I let it die down. Then my friend Cay literally drove me to SM Megamall just so she could introduce me to the new restaurant that she has been raaaaaving about. I agreed begrudgingly. She even bought me a pair of...
The Designer Donut by J.Co Coming to MNL
I passed by SM Megamall for an errand the other day, and saw the build-up announcement by The Strip area of Building B. I am getting excited. I am not a big donut fan. Admittedly, I never caught on the Krispy Kreme craze and only ingest them when I have no other breakfast choice. There...

My Ultimate Christmas Treat
Adobong Balut from my Grandma Betty in Betis, Pampanga. Balut, as gourmands and Fear Factor addicts may know, is fertilized duck embryo.
