Trip Ko Lang

It has been ages since my closest friends and I had dinner, we tried a new place along Jupiter St. in Makati, it was called Gino’s Eats and Beats. It was a perfect place for small groups just like us with cozy ambiance and good food; a great spot for simple talks and catching up.

Looking for something light to eat, we ordered for Gino’s 3 Cheese Sandwich, it was really yummy, thanks to the pesto flavor which made it superb!

Here comes the most-loved Eggs Benedict, egg and cheezy topping overload… Yum yum!

We also tried one of Gino’s best-sellers, BBQ spare ribs, too much fat but taste was good and even better with the BBQ sauce that goes with it.

Overall, our dining experience was great, good food and service, clean and cozy ambiance, and reasonable prices. Too bad, there was a private function that evening so we were not able to stay that long and didn’t experience Gino’s Beats which usually happens in late evenings… I guess there’s always a next time and some other time to try Gino’s other best dishes.

Sisig with Egg

Filipinos are known for people who love to eat, they love to celebrate birthdays, weddings and other occasions that require preparing and serving abundant and different types of food. But for ordinary days, like a Friday night after work, a lot of Pinoys would eat and drink out with their friends to get some relief at the end of a stressful week at work.

Pork sisig is one of Pinoy’s well-loved “pulutan” (beer-match), it is made from chopped part of pig’s head and mixed with raw egg. This is the typical pork sisig but some resto offer a twist and come up with own signature pork sisig. Sisig nowadays, are not just pork, we now have tuna, fish, squid and etc.

Pancit Lucban

Pancit is another Pinoy food that can’t be missed in any event. Pancit Lucban is one of the Quezon province’s specialty and also known as Pancit Hab-hab. If you happen to visit any Quezon province, Pancit Lucban is a must-eat, what makes it unique is how you should eat it – placed and eaten directly from a banana leaf and with a vinegar drizzled to enhance the taste. But if you are just in the metro, you can visit Buddy’s Pancit Lucban to get a taste of Quezon’s famous local delicacy.

San Miguel Beer

San Miguel beer is the ultimate booze of Pinoy. San Miguel has been in business for long generations now and has offered different variety and distinctiveness in all their beverages. Pinoys love SMB, I love SMB, and most enjoyed with good company, interesting chats and staying up till the morning breaks.
