It’s raining RAMEN, hallelujah!

I love Japanese food. It’s my first love. But was only in love with just a few on their menu. And because of the ramen craze here in Manila, I’ve been so interested in it lately.

When I was younger, my parents would often take us at a Japanese restaurant on weekends or after school. They were mostly influenced by their Japanese friends and colleagues. By the way, these friends and colleagues would give us boxes of Nissin Cup noodles, different flavors (yum!). And that was my only knowledge of ramen. Sad but true. So ashamed.

Now there are several ramen places in Manila that I have to try because poor lil’ old me know nothing about the real one. I shall therefore go to them ramen joints and slurp away!

By the way, Ippudo is set to open this month so I’m excited!

Ssup BROnuts

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been a busy bee both at work and at home. And now that summer is about to end, I will have a wee bit of time to write.

Okay so we’ve heard of croughnuts, cronuts and kronuts — which are all the same thing. But have you heard of Bronuts??

It is, again, the same thing. But this is bigger!

My favorite is their Cream Cheese and Bacon. Who doesn’t love bacon?? And cream cheese?? It’s the perfect sweet-and-savory-melts-in-your-mouth kind of thing.

What I didn’t like was their Strawberry and Yogurt. It tasted weird. There was also something wrong with the texture.

So if you’re into this, come to Manila and get yourself a bronut, bro!

Go-to dessert

Have you ever been in a situation wherein you’re not craving something specific and you can’t really think of a dessert that you’d like to have? Well it happens to me most of the time. And I end up ordering a beautiful plate of Chocolate Belgian Waffle at Starbucks.

Just look at the amount of whipped cream. Yum! I love this! It satisfies and it’s good. Runs out easily but luckily available when I want one.
