erratum!

On my latest entry on Emperor's Dimsum and Teahouse, the Xiao Long Bao serving has SIX not four pieces. Six delicious xiao long baos for only P98. :)


Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

cheers for really cold beers: Wing Hub

One thing I really appreciate is a bottle of cold beer and inexpensive (not overpriced) pulutan, or drinking food, to go along with it. I'm one of those people who just has the need to drink randomly to relieve stress. A bottle will do. But it has to go with something I can munch on.


when cravings attack: Moshi Moshi

Last year was a year of cravings. It was the year I craved for the perfect fresh lumpia, the perfect green mangoes with shrimp paste, the perfect orange quail eggs, and so many more cravings I wanted to satisfy. One of these cravings included a Japanese favorite -- gyudon. It started with one of our foodtrips in Megamall, where the gyudon I had tasted so sweet. From that day on, I've been craving for the perfect gyudon taste that will satisfy my taste buds. Nothing too sweet, nothing too salty, nothing bland. After months and months of searching and trying out different gyudons from different restaurants, I found one very close to home.


midnight adventure: Emperor's Dimsum and Teahouse

This entry marks the end of the backlog of blog entries I have for 2011. Start the year right by getting rid of the old stuff, right? :)

I shall begin with our midnight adventure last September 30, 2011. Oh, I guess this is one of our anniversary dates since it was on the 30th. We usually go out and celebrate our monthly anniversaries by discovering new food. Anyway, it was a midnight adventure because we had this at around 12:30 am. We were hungry, and looking for a non-fast food restaurant that was still open at that time. If I remember correctly, I was craving for some hot rice and a real, unprocessed, dish to go with it. Since we were in the Greenhills area, we decided to take a look at Emperor's Dimsum and Teahouse, and ended up having a filling midnight snack.

The food attendants served hot tea and pickled vegetables, which were oh-so-good, while we were looking at their menu. I've always loved how they automatically serve hot tea after sitting. The pickled vegetables I've only noticed now, but maybe it's because I've always been excited when ordering xiao long bao from this restaurant. I guess I finally took notice of it when Gus started eating it, and I'm glad I finally paid attention. The pickled vegetables were really good! A good way to start your eating adventure!

First of 2012

Happy New Year, everyone! Yes, yes, I haven't been able to update my blog with any new reviews despite the holidays ending. I guess the new year wanted me to get the annual flu over and done with, so here I am, typing up my first post for 2012 while coughing my chest out. Anyway.. I hope the new year has greeted you guys better than it has me. As you've noticed, my entries seem fewer now. I decided to finish my blog's make-over and delete all personal posts from this blog, and move them to my personal blogsite. That way, I can keep all my blog entries organized. This site will now be used purely for food, restaurant, product reviews, and the once-in-a-blue-moon opinions I may have on certain issues. 

Just in case my over dramatized life, or writing, has sparked any interest in you, or maybe it's just my uncensored take on love and life, my personal blog can be located in Wordpress. 

Hoping to post something new before the weekend ends! Have a great one, and stay healthy. :)
