Krispy Kremes: A second chance

October 15, 2010 Foods by Gim 1 Comment

A few months ago, I blogged about my first taste of Krispy Kremes and how disappointed I was that it tasted just like your ordinary doughnuts. Nothing special, no buzz, no moan inducing aoumph!, nothing! At that time I really felt that all that hype was for nothing (like going...

Krispy Kremes- No different than your average doughnut

September 4, 2010 Foods by Gim 3 Comments

I love doughnuts! Nothing beats a quiet afternoon in the graduate library with my books, a steaming mug of coffee and a half-dozen doughnuts (Bavarian and strawberry-filled). Fli once told me when I was this big *holds hands way apart* that I was made of doughnuts. Seriously. I am hooked...

Selecta’s Pistachios and Cashew drizzled with Hot Choco Fudge!

September 1, 2010 Foods by Gim Leave a Comment

Ice cream! Everyone loves ice cream. And no, not on a hot sunny day as a way to cool off as some would suggest. As Fli says; “that just makes me thirsty”. On a hot, heat-stroke inducing day, I would rather have a really tall glass of Coke Zero or...

I luv TOSH

A couple of weeks ago, Fli brought me to a pasta house in Makati. I have always been a fan of pasta. For me, nothing beats having crispy fried chicken, pizza and a big bowl of pasta on a Friday night. Why Friday? I don’t know, I guess cause having...

Big Bites Burger

December 15, 2008 Dapitan, Dipolog, Foods, Zamboanga by Flisha 3 Comments

This is a guest post from my boyfriend Gim. Here to talk about his favorite pastime: good eats. – Flisha I looove burgers. I especially like the meaty, juicy ones. Not the paper-thin slices that they serve at the school canteen or at the 3M burger stand beside the plaza...

Best Restaurant in Dipolog

November 20, 2008 Dapitan, Dipolog, Foods by Flisha 4 Comments

It’s Grandma’s Best, hands down. In fact, I think it’s the best restaurant in Zamboanga del Norte, and after tasting their Squid Aligue Spaghetti, I’m tempted to say it’s the best restaurant in all of Philippines. Except that I haven’t visited all of Philippines yet. Grandma’s Best is hidden in...

Halo-Halo on a Hot Day

October 19, 2008 Dapitan, Foods by Flisha 10 Comments

Here in the Philippines, we have a sweet treat called Halo-halo. Halo in Filipino means “mix”. Halo-halo is a mix of ingredients such as beans, flan, fruits, sugar, milk and ice, then topped with ice cream, oatmeal and sometimes a cherry. It’s a favorite Filipino dessert, and the best...

ManPuku Bento in Ayala Mall, Cebu

October 11, 2008 Foods by Flisha 6 Comments

I’m a fan of Japanese food. Save for the raw stuff like sushi and sashimi, I eat it all. All the ~yakis like okonomiyaki (fried vegetables) and takoyaki (fried octopus). I love the ~dons too like the gyudon and the katsudon, mmm! I have yet...

Sunday Kamayan, Dapitan’s Best Kept Secret

September 14, 2008 Dapitan, Foods by Flisha 14 Comments

On a Sunday in Dapitan, there’s no better place to eat lunch than Kamayan ni Manay’s (literal translation: Eat-with-your-bare-hands at Manay‘s, Manay being a general term for an older lady). Every Sunday, Kamayan holds an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch that costs only P250 ($6) per person. This includes a lunch...

Lunches at Big Joe’s

September 4, 2008 Dipolog, Foods by Flisha 7 Comments

The first time Gim and I ate at Big Joe’s in Dipolog City, we only snuck in for a quick snack of siomai before embarking on the bus that would take us to Dapitan pier where we were to take the ferry bound for Cebu. We ordered milkshakes for take...
