Plurk as excuse for going out

By Arbet • Jul 27th, 2008 • Category: Featured

Plurk is an interesting Web application. It is like Twitter, with the capability to display messages on a time line, plus you can view replies below the message. It is like IRC, says Jon Limjap. MLQ3 thinks so, too.
But it’s greatest use, so far, is to plan for unplanned dinners. Just this week, the Bachelor [...]



Krispy Kreme-y goodness

By Arbet • Jul 27th, 2008 • Category: Resto Reviews

There has been much buzz about Krispy Kreme. I had tried it twice, given by officemates, and I must agree it was heavenly. And sinful.
One of the perils of my current work is that Krispy Kreme is just across the street. It is a temptation that I battle continuously, regularly. But one day, I gave [...]



Question of the Day: Dealing with price increases

By Arbet • Jul 10th, 2008 • Category: Question of the Day

I know everyone is reeling from the almost daily price increases, and most of us wee office workers have to scrimp and save to make ends meet. And with salaries going nowhere (unless you go some place else), our expense lists tend to be slashed - I mean, we slash the expenses that are not [...]



Renaissance food

By Arbet • Jul 6th, 2008 • Category: Resto Reviews

It was my first time to be at Renaissance Hotel for the press launch of HTC Touch Diamond, and lunch was served. I think the food was great, and if you have any functions, maybe you can consider this hotel, if only for the food.
The set menu for that day was:
Freshly baked bread with butter. [...]



The versatile rice

By Arbet • Jun 16th, 2008 • Category: Featured

Rice is an indispensable part of Filipino cuisine. A Filipino meal is incomplete without rice. Why has it become a staple as it is now?
My theory is that rice is a versatile food. Heck, just add anything to eat and it is already eatable. Let me count the things you can do with it. We’ll [...]



Question of the day: The perfect rainy day snack

By Arbet • Jun 11th, 2008 • Category: Question of the Day

As it is about to rain here in the lake called Caloocan (and I am hungry), here is a good question to ask:
What is the perfect rainy day snack?
Leave your answer at the comments.



Question of the Day: Garlic breath

By Arbet • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Question of the Day

One of the perils of eating food rich with garlic is the so-called garlic breath.
How do you deal with garlic breath after eating?



Do Tempura and Razons mix?

By Arbet • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Resto Reviews, food

So last Friday, the Bachelor Food bloggers Juned, MLQ3, and I went to Greenhills. As Juned was already at Greenhills, it was decided that we meet there to eat. While on the car, we passed by Razon’s Halo Halo. Remembering contrasting comments about Razon’s, so I blurted out that we should try their halo halo. [...]



Going batchoy with Ted’s

By Arbet • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Resto Reviews, food

So the Bachelor Food Bloggers went to Ali Mall to check on Ted’s Oldtimer La Paz Batchoy last Friday, upon the recommendation of Bachelor Food Blogger-slash-rockstar Fritz. As Fritz was late, Juned and I stayed at Country Style, where I got a Triple Fancy whatever and regular iced tea for Php 41.
After a few hours, [...]



Is Oki Oki OK?

By Arbet • May 16th, 2008 • Category: Resto Reviews, food

Yesterday, I met a friend at TriNoma (it was his birthday yesterday). As he was hungry, we decided to eat, and I thought revisiting Oki Oki would be nice. I had tried that restaurant months ago, and I was craving for ramen yesterday, so Oki Oki we went.
The restaurant is located on Level M1 (TriNoma’s [...]
