Pinoy Life At Large » Health is Wealth
I am a diabetic and medicines are part of my life. Without medicines, I will kick the bucket, way before my time. As a food blogger my work is my number one hazard. That is why it is important for us to make sure that we eat at the right amounts, avoid drinking sodas (I have not been successful in … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Hongkong Roast Food Express: Authentic to the Bone
This restaurant is located along 7467C Bagtikan Street, San Antonio Village, Makati City. Their number is 984-7760. Now, we’re done with the particulars, let me tell you why I had to rush home and write a post about this restaurant. They have a see-through kitchen that is squeaky clean, spic and span. That’s important for anyone dining in a restaurant. … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Charlie’s Grind and Grill: Where I Go For Chicken Wings
Charlie’s Grind and Grill is one of the most well-loved food places in Pasig. Sometime in 2010, they opened a branch in Ortigas Ave, San Juan. This branch is for those who don’t want to dine in a car wash/garage. This branch is located at the Ronac Art building along Ortigas Ave, North Greenhills (image borrowed from www.solemovement.com). This is … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » KC Chicken: Koreatown’s Chicken Place
This piece of chicken looks very ordinary. It comes from a restaurant called KC Chicken located at 12 Cirilo St. Isidora Hills, Brgy Holy Spirit, Quezon City. However, you must know by now that looks can be deceiving. Two large piece of this fried chicken costs P70, each at P35 regardless of whether it’s white or dark meat. I always … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Luz Kinilaw Place: Davao’s Best Ihawan
In anticipation of the travels that I am planning to do this year, I stumbled on some old pictures of my trips. One particularly interesting trip was the Davao Food Tour in 09. It was fun and I really want to go back. However, I realized there were other provinces to visit and I can’t keep going to just the … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » SkewU: Skews and Sizzlers
I believe every one of us has a favorite restaurant. One that we will visit no matter how far. I, for one, have more than just one favorite restaurant. If I want to eat Korean food, I get dressed and drive a good 40 kilometers to this restaurant in Brgy Holy Spirit, Don Antonio Village, Quezon City. I love it … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Romy’s Kitchen: Home of the Best Lechon Kawali in Makati
This is what was left of a wonderful lechon kawali (deep-fried pork belly) meal at Romy’s kitchen, a small canteen inside the Delarosa Carpark 1. I learn about this place when my office was still at the 27th floor of the Enterprise Center, Ayala Avenue cor Paseo De Roxas. I can’t remember who introduced me to this canteen, but when … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Happy New Year to all!
Saying goodbye to 2011 was easy as pie. That year had been a complete roller coaster ride for me. Sobering up from the highs, lows and rock-bottoms had taken so much of my time and energy. That was mostly the topic of my conversations with my sister when we had New Year’s Eve dinner at Nihonbashitei. Not for any special … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Dinner at Dampa sa Riverbanks, Marikina City
Once in a while, I like get together with friends especially during the holidays. Problem is, we’re all a little low on cash because we are not children and we were the ones who had to give money away. It was all fun, nonetheless. So when it was time for us to meet and swap stories, we all decided that … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » NO TO MINING IN PALAWAN: Sign your support now
This initiative is to support the local agriculture, ecotourism and anti-poverty efforts for people in Palawan. I’m totally supporting this effort. The devastating effects of Sendong in Mindanao is just a sample of what is to happen to us if we let mining companies destroy the environment. There is nothing wrong with mining. We need the minerals for our gadgets … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Diabetamil: Healthy Snacking for Diabetics
Diabetes is no laughing matter. As a food blogger with diabetes, I’ve cracked so many jokes about sweets and how I should be sponsored by a candy factory. Most of the time, I say these things to lighten the dreadful feeling that I can never enjoy my favorite doughnut or chocolate drink and pastry ever again. Really, it is as … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » The Cheese Steak Shop at the E-Hotel Makati
What you see here is the cozy interior of a great new dining place at 901 Arnaiz Ave, Makati City called The Cheese Steak Shop. I heard about it from friends and so I decided to give it a try. I wasn’t the least bit disappointed. Philly Cheese Steak started out in the early 20th Century in, of course the … [Link]

Pinoy Life At Large » Mario’s Restaurant Turns 40
Just a year younger than I am, a “heritage restaurant” has turned 40 years and still going strong. Sadly, there is only one branch in Metro Manila and that is the one along Tomas Morato. You can’t miss it because it’s been there since it was built. At 40, what has changed? The decor, some of the people, some new … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Taparazzi: My New Favorite Tapsihan
I used to work in the One World Square building and before Taparazzi, there was this Japanese restaurant that was such a pain to look at because we all knew they were not making enough money for the rent and overhead. Even with the high demand for eating places and the dearth of restaurants, that Japanese restaurant tried to so … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » 2011 Thanksgiving Dinner with USDA Potato Board
We’re just taters about ‘em! Potatoes are probably the only vegetables that children will eat without resistance, just take them to McDonald’s. Although it’s 80% water and only 20% solid, there’s enough sugar in every potato that can change its taste and smell. Just be careful in putting them in the fridge; the longer a potato is in cold storage, … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Bonifacio High Street South Block: Our Newest Foodie Haven
11.11.11, today’s date is the launch of the long-awaited Bonifacio High Street South. It’s where the other end of High Street tapers off, right in front of ROX, the sporting goods store. On this site will rise an ultra-chic department store (aka mall), an ampitheatre (where they had an awesome light and sound show) and (brace yourselves) CINEMAS! Yes, finally … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Why Hunger Is Political
Everyone needs to eat because without food, we die. Without food we die a sure but slow and painful death. Though many of us food bloggers are guilty of overeating, which is another way to a sure, slow and painful death, we cannot ignore that hunger persists in many parts of the Philippines, perhaps more than we can imagine. A … [Link]
Pinoy Life At Large » Pamangan Fiestang Kapampangan: Eating Our Way Through Angeles, Pampanga Part 2
Continuing our foodie adventure in Angeles, Pampanga I realized there was more to this city than just the food. There was the history. The history by which an entire province was judged by the misunderstood actions of a few. Enter the Macabebes. The Macabebes were once a tribe of warriors who had no national identity. As far as they were … [Link]
