Fruiteamix is a small shop but it looks bright and cheerful. I don’t know when they opened but their service was very slow when I went there and there were only a few customers there. (more…)

I don’t like soups nor ramen but I get a craving from time to time. When I’m craving for ramen, I head to Konbini Store in Greenhills, San Juan. Konbini Store is only 20 minutes from my place in Pasig, that is if there is no traffic. Konbini Store is a Japanese grocery. It sells [...]

review

Konbini Store is a Japanese grocery. It sells candies, chocolates, junk food, instant noodles, ingredients, beverages, ice cream, and more at exorbitant prices. If you want to shop Japanese food, go to Little Tokyo instead. The groceries there like Sakura and Chotto Stop are much much cheaper and has much to offer. Even though Konbini is pricier, folks who live in San Juan shop there because it’s more convenient. The Greenhills residents are rich too so the price probably doesn’t matter much to them. (more…)

Well I’m not sure if it’s the newest but I’m willing to bet the concept is new here. My friend and I decided were looking for desserts after having dinner at B & T. We were driving along Connecticut St. in Greenhills when we saw a nice new building. We were about to enter White Hat but noticed that there were more shops on the 2nd floor so we decided to explore. We were enticed by the bright and colorful interior so we decided to try Cold Layers. (more…)

Le Ching Too - a 2nd branch in Greenhills

Le Ching is a Chinese fastfood restaurant which serves cheap dimsum. Their popular dishes include Steam Beef Brisket, Taosi Spareribs, Steam Chicken with Mushroom, and Steam Asado Pork. All their dimsums cost less than P100 but if you want them as rice toppings it will only cost you P128. My personal favorite is Chicken Mushroom Rice (P128). It is a very simple rice topping but the serving is generous. The chicken is simply marinated with a hint of sesame oil. If Le Ching’s dishes are that simple, why are they so popular, you ask. The secret is in the sauce. More accurately, it’s in the chili sauce.

The chili sauce is composed of vegetable oil (?), crispy garlic flakes, and crispy chili. Without the sauce, the dimsums are bland but still eatable. As an added bonus, you can get free refills on the chili sauce.

the secret is in the sauce

If you haven’t been to Le Ching, find time to do so and make sure to eat your dimsum with the special chili sauce. Your life wouldn’t be complete without the Le Ching experience.

Along the busy street of Wilson in San Juan is a new Taiwanese restaurant called Feng Wei Wee. Eloisa and I just came from a Zumba class at the top of Madison Square Building and were looking for somewhere good to eat, having just burned a couple of calories. We didn’t feel like going far to hunt for a good restaurant so we decided to give Feng Wei Wee a try. A couple of tables were already occupied and the place looked tempting enough.

It smelled so Chinese restaurant when we entered. You know what I mean. (more…)

The family decided to try Flapjacks tonight. We’ve been wanting to try the food there for quite some time but only found time to do so today. We decided on their Greenhills branch so we can do some shopping afterwards. We got there before 7PM and quite a number of tables were already occupied.

Ambiance

It occupies the space where Pilita’s used to be. I feel that the owners packed too much tables in the in-door dining area. The lighting is too dark for a family restaurant. The color combination is nice and eye-catching and will certainly attract mallers.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Service

The staff are very friendly and courteous. Our orders arrived quickly, like we almost didn’t wait at all.

Rating: ★★★★★

Food

I was disappointed with the fact that they didn’t offer more varieties of flapjacks so I’m wondering why they named the restaurant Flapjacks. The restaurant offers a number of other dishes and their menu is visually appealing. I ordered the White Fish Hollandaise (P315) which is battered fish deep fried until golden brown. It has a very light lemon hollandaise sauce which only covered less than a half of the fish so that was very disappointing for me. The dish comes with buttered veggies and herb rice.
Rating: ★★½☆☆ (more…)
