La Provence: French Salon and Cafe that sells Delicious Crepes in BGC

We were catching a movie at Cinema Square and we thought it would be best to grab dinner nearby or in the building itself. We've practically tried everything in the building before... Fireside, Mad Marks, etc. So we thought why not try something else for a change. We saw La Provence from afar... and decided to come in for a closer look. To be honest, I got really confused. I thought that the tables outside were for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (I thought it was... but later there were placemats for La Provence), and the closer I got to La Provence, I still wasn't sure whether it had a cafe or not. They had a large piece of signage outside, but the closer you went, it only displayed services of the salon. Before I could walk away, Sarah decided to sit down. And that's how we finally ended up here! I have to say, they have really nice interiors. I liked the tile floor... as well as the chairs in their own small cafe. We had a look at the menu and it really wasn...

Sandaya Yakiniku Japanese Restaurant: Legit Japanese Barbeque in Makati

A Japanese friend from business school who visits Manila quite often took me to Sandaya about a month ago, and I was surprised with how good the food was. He had read about Sandaya from several Japanese blogs and decided to check it out. Interestingly, in the frequent trips he takes to Manila, he comes to this place often. Like, he's been here 4-5x already! Sandaya is located at the end of Arnaiz Avenue, and the corner of Amorsolo / the end of Mile Long. The restaurant occupies the corner... so you'd actually have a full view of the intersection and all the cars that ramp up towards SLEX from Arnaiz. Yakiniku is a lot like Korean BBQ, but of course, the sauces are completely different and so are 90% of the menu items. When you enter the place, you would notice a number of Japanese customers patronising the restaurant, and sometimes probably with Filipino companions who speak Japanese. For me, I always welcome this as a good sign, because you know if locals eat here, ...

Din Tai Fung: What else to eat besides their famous Xiao Long Bao?

Whenever we'd visit Din Tai Fung, ordering some xiao long baos was always a must. But this time around, we wanted to focus our orders on other items on the menu... ideally items with low carbs (in my mind, no rice... but I'm sure some items here probably had higher carbohydrates!). Anyway, here's the round up of things we got: Spicy pickled cucumber (Php 125) - to us, we were expecting the cucumber to be really spicy. Thank goodness it wasn't what we thought it was... instead, it was mildy-spiced... which was just perfect. The mild chili oil over the pickled cucumbers complemented the appetizer, rather than overpowered it. It was pretty refreshing~ I exclaimed while eating that I wanted to try making this at home, if I can! Stir fried Chinese broccoli (Php 165) - Okay, while these are vegetables, they aren't as healthy once you stir fry them like this. But hey, they generally taste better (on this note, I felt this order lacked a little bit of salt)! ...
