5-Course Taco Dinner at Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar

Pop-ups and collabs are a thing nowadays for chefs, both the young ones and the old-timers. Pop-ups in famous food halls or collabs in restaurants. In this edition of EATSplorations, we will be sharing about a dinner collaboration that we recently EATSperienced. A collab between two young chefs who are very talented in their own right. The two chefs are Chef Patrick Go, used to be Black Sheep’s main man, and Chef Charles Montañez, Alegria’s very own. These two chefs worked together and used their culinary prowess in coming up with a dinner dedicated to one of their most favorite Mexican food ever, the TACO! Join us and find out how our 5-course taco dinner at Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar was. Enjoy! Continue reading…

Izakaya Kikufuji – Little Tokyo, Makati

One of the famous go to spots for authentic and awesome Japanese food in Metro Manila is at… Little Tokyo in Makati City! It has had this reputation for years already and people who go here seem like they are always satisfied. In our 3rd year back here in Manila, we have not explored much of this area still. And we have friends who have been recommending this food haven to Japanese food-lovers like us. One of the most sought after, jam-packed and busiest restaurant in Little Tokyo is Izakaya Kikufuji. We have heard good feedback from friends and we have seen mouthwatering Instagram posts as well. So we finally decided to get a hold of this talk of the town Japanese restaurant. In this edition of EATSplorations, join us as we share about Izakaya Kikufuji at Little Tokyo, Makati. Enjoy! Continue reading…

[Pampanga EATS] 25 Seeds by Chef Sau del Rosario

Earlier this month, I, Mr. Eats, went on a food trip to EATSplore some of the limited edition items for the Choice of the Nation. It was a day of pure eating as I was able to try out FOUR restaurants in one day. The food trip took me as far as Pampanga and it led me to 25 Seeds by Chef Sau del Rosario. 25 Seeds features farm to table creations inspired by many of his adventures in his 25 years of being in the food industry and of course, by his Kapampangan roots. I was really excited to try his food again because of my wonderful EATSperience at Cafe Fleur in 2016. In this edition of EATSplorations, I will be sharing my thoughts about his famous dishes and also about his mayo-inspired dishes. I sure hope you are hungry because here’s my gut-stuffing EATSperience at 25 Seeds by Chef Sau del Rosario, enjoy! Continue reading…

[AG New World Manila Bay] Dim Sum Lunch at Li Li

Hakaw, siomai, taro puff and bean curd roll, just to name a few of our dim sum staples. May it be with our family, friends, or just us, during random eat outs or special occasions, having dim sum is always an option. That’s how much we love and enjoy it. Did we mention special occasions? Last month was Mr. Eats’ birthday, and without a doubt, we chose to have a dim sum celebration at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant in Manila. In this edition of EATSplorations, we will be sharing about Li Li at AG New World Manila Bay. Li Li is always one of our options whenever we want to satisfy our dim sum craving. Why? Simply because of their all-you-can-eat promo and because the dim sum is always made fresh. Freshly made dim sum is always the best! Join us and allow yourselves to crave for some good and mouthwatering dim sum. Enjoy! Continue reading…
