Aside from the fact that I haven’t baked in two weeks (!!!), I’m too tired to check on my backlogs and write a recipe post, so I decided to just write a ‘What I’ve Been Eating Lately’ post. I noticed a little pattern with the restaurants we’ve been eating in lately; a pattern that I am actually quite pleased with. Japanese food is in my top three favourite cuisines and is assuredly one of my food weaknesses. Any time I get to eat it you can rest assured I will have a smile on my face when I leave the restaurant. These past two weeks of eating out has seen…

Dimsum overload at Hyatt Manila’s Li Li Restaurant + a special treat for readers
The Hyatt Hotel is one of Manila’s grandest and for me one of the more accessible five-star hotels in the metro. I live maybe 20 minutes away, and after this luncheon I had, I began wondering why we didn’t visit the restaurants here a little more.

Experiencing Yabu’s authentic katsu
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of anything fried. In fact, I don’t eat them quite often. But during the times that I do, they have to be worth my stomach space. That’s where Yabu: House of Katsu comes in. I’ve been hearing about this restaurant from some of my friends but I’ve never actually tried it until a few days ago. Yabu boasts of its katsu that is crisp on the outside but so soft on the inside you can cut it with your chopsticks. With the help of Chef Kazuya Takeda of Tonkatsu Takeshin fame (a restaurant I’m keeping in mind for when…
