Healthy Burgers at Good Burgers
Posted by Ferdz on 22 Feb 2011 under Fast Food · 7 Comments
I have always known burgers as sort of a junk food especially on fast food restaurants. They are fatty and chock-full of cholesterol. It’s a good thing while I was wandering around our neighborhood in Pasig with guest foodie friend and travel writer, Jen, to find some good eats, we found Good Burgers along C5 road just opposite SM Hypermart. Good Burgers has been around for quite a while serving healthy vegetarian burgers. On their glass counter they banner that they are one of the very few PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Proggy Awardee in the country for having the “Best Veggie Burger” . Now it’s definitely worth a try.
Paris Delice: Now serving really flaky, really authentic French breads

There were bread crumbs on the table. Crumbs on the tray liner. And more crumbs on the saucers. A nuisance? If it were just ordinary bread, it would be. But we were having Paris Delice breads for breakfast and notwithstanding the proliferation of French bakeries in the metro, it really doesn’t take a cultured palate to know these breads are different from all that came before them.
Enjoying Curacha and other treats at Alavar’s

Visit Zamboanga City and almost everyone tells you not to miss tasting the famous Curacha, a hybrid crustacean that bears resemblance to the sea crab and a spiny lobster. The name means “cockroach” in Chavacano, maybe because of its appearance. But don’t let that unappetizing translation dissuade you from sampling this tasty crustacean, which is caught only in the seas of Zamboanga and Sulu.
Short of buying a live one from the market and cooking it yourself, the best way to enjoy this treat is to eat at Alavar’s Seafood House, which is just a short tricycle ride from downtown. First item on the agenda is of course, Curacha. But happyfoodies got some welcome surprises from other items in the menu.
Turning Japanese at Banzai
Posted by oggie on 2 Dec 2008 under Fast Food, Gut Feel, Tummy Treats · 4 Comments
The food court of a mall is normally NOT the place to look for decent Japanese food. Almost always, the “food court pricing” automatically means that the food outlet would scrimp on ingredients or cut corners, ergo less satisfying Japanese fare. But happily, we found an exception and it was literally right under our noses – Banzai Japanese Kitchen in the food court of Cash & Carry Mall.
