Crepe-ing Back to College

After having lunch in Ken Afford (see previous entry), decided to revisit an old favorite, Kamirori, known for their reasonably priced Japanese food and for dessert. I remembered having a "phase" during college where I would buy their ice cream crepe every time I go home.  Hence, the weight during college I guess. Haha

A few months back, Kamirori moved from their previous location (at the ground level of our former condo) to

the other side of Katipunan, at the new Petron gas station just beside the entrance to Loyola Grand Villas. Just as well, their food AND desserts remained.

Personally, I think their California Maki is the best I've ever tasted. =) But I'm here to talk about their desserts.

Sadly, they don't have a counter anymore where the mouth-watering desserts used to be. But still, the taste and quality of their desserts did not disappoint. Ordered the Ice Cream Crepe and the Amaretto.

The Ice Cream Crepe is actually just vanilla ice cream topped with a layer of crepe and caramel cream. But it's still oh-so-good! And for just a 100 pesos!

The Amaretto is flourless chocolate cake covered with cream, amaretto, and bits of nuts. It tastes as good as it did since way back in college. I was immediately beaming with delight upon eating a mouthful of this sumptuous dessert.

Eating these desserts just brings back fond memories. =)

Can Afford!

As I was already in the QC area yesterday, decided to have lunch here on my way back to Makati. Given my roots, Katipunan will always have a special place in my heart. That goes for Ken Afford as well, one of my favorite restaurants ever.

Other than the obviously affordable food (~P 120-150 a meal), it boasts of being able to invite not just students but people and foodies all over the metro to try their famous Sisig a la Domeng/Roque and their other 55 dishes.

Their menu is a list of your all-time favorite Filipino dishes from Lechon Kawali to Sinigang na Baboy or Hipon. Some of my favorites are Stuffed Porkchop (breaded porkchop stuffed with mushroom and cheese) and the Sisig a la Domeng (sizzling sisig with egg). While waiting for your order, they offer you free refillable soup. Serving size of one meal is good enough for 1-2 people.

In terms of service, the waiters are very friendly and are generous with smiles. =) Oh and they don't charge extra for service charge and/or VAT.

All's Well in Eat Well

For a long time, I've been wanting to eat at Eat Well! Delicious Kitchen in The Fort. Finally got the chance to eat there last night and true enough, it did not disappoint! =D

First of, I expected the usual chinese cuisine. Lechon Macau (or some other version, theirs was Roasted Crispy Pork, I think), dimsum, fried squid, hot-pots, etc which you can find in almost any Chinese restaurant in the metro. But I wanted to try something different, so we ordered the Steamed Egg White with Seafood to go with the Hakao and Roasted Crispy Pork.


True enough, Delicious Kitchen did not disappoint. The Hakao was just sumptuous and they're very generous with the shrimp. The Roasted Crispy Pork, although it doesn't look very appetizing with no clear efforts at presentation, is very tasty and goes best with Hoisin sauce. The Steamed Egg White with Seafood, as our main course, was a nice change from the normal orders and very yummy also. It's like different kinds of seafood (shrimp, squid, fish, and fish eggs) and mushroom on a bed of steamed egg whites. A must-try!!!


I'd definitely go back to Delicious Kitchen to try out their other sumptuous dishes.

Eat Well! Delicious Kitchen is located on the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank building in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

Momotaro Bento

Our latest discovery!

MOMOTARO BENTO offers really cheap beer (only P 100 for 3 bottles! But it’s not BBZ) and really cheap food as well. Their bento boxes range from P 120 to P 170 and you’re good to go. They also offer the usual pulutans like sisig and tokwa’t baboy to name a few.

Oh and for every order of a bucket of beer, they give you free pulutan. It’s fried shrimp head. We think these are the left-over heads from the tempura orders since the owner is also the owner of Nihonbashitei.

Momotaro Bento is located along Arnaiz Avenue (Pasay Road), beside El Cielito Inn.

World Class Lube?

Anyone fancy these keychains? Lol! Looks like oil companies are getting witty these days.

Margarita In-A-Tub

It's the first time I've tasted instant margaritas and it's delicious!!! Just add water, a bottle of tequila, and freeze! So convenient and yummy! =)

These "Original Frozen Fiestas" (they also have Mojitos) can be bought in Karl Edward's bazaars or in Metro Walk.

All Saint's Day

All Saint’s Day or Undas in Filipino, is one of the holidays where missing it is “frowned upon” by our entire clan. I don’t really know the normal tradition on how this holiday is celebrated since ever since, my memory of undas is a combination of a little fiesta and a reunion. And this year was no exception.

Lunch would be extended until 2 pm because of the many choices from KFC chicken to fried hito (catfish). Merienda would be a choice of cheese pimiento or chicken sandwich, all home-made. Yum! I think I gained another 2 or 3 pounds just from this weekend.

What I find funny about our tradition is, we stay until nighttime, just before dinner time, which is exactly the time when the dads and uncles are about to finish their scotch or whisky. =P While others pride themselves in going to the cemetery just to grieve for their loved ones and are not even allowed to laugh out loud (yes, I know some families), we, on the other hand, celebrate togetherness and the short time we have to catch up on the lives of our other relatives.

Alas, I left my socializing skills in the house this year. I was a lonely boy, playing with his sister’s Nintendo DS. =) There’s always next year.
