Lia’s Cakes, Always in Season
Posted by Ferdz on 13 Jan 2012 under Feature, Light & Hearty, Sweet Talk · One Comment
Avocado is one of my favourite fruits and being a sucker for desserts, the combination of the fruit on a cake is lethal. Strolling along with a fellow foodie friend in the streets of Kapitolyo, Pasig, which is fast becoming a food hub with a lot of new dining options popping up, we discovered Lia’s Cakes in Season. Lia’s is one of the old dining establishments in the area (been there since 2004) that has been known for their signature Avocado Cakes.
Milk Tea: The Cha Dao Tea Place Way
Posted by Ferdz on 18 Oct 2011 under Quenchers · 2 Comments
Nowadays, the choice of beverages has never been so complicated. It’s no longer as simple as coffee or tea but a more complex mixture of ingredients suited exclusively to one’s palate. Take for example the growing popularity of Milk Teas in the past years as a healthy alternative drink. Though I’ve never been really a fan, there’s no harm in trying especially when Cha Dao Tea Place gave us an opportunity to try out their Milk Teas. There’s one branch near our neighborhood so I invited guest foodie Jen to their Kapitolyo branch.
Healthy Burgers at Good Burgers

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.
Three at Steak: Fireplace, I Am Angus and 22 Prime

Majority of Filipinos are still meat eaters. We love a good and flavorful steak. And those looking for a more exquisite kind of meat would be glad to know that Manila isn’t short of restaurants serving high grade steaks. We only have to choose the dining experience to match with that sumptuous food. Here we steaked-out three restaurants offering some of the best tasting steaks in Manila.
When desserts don’t have to be so sweet
Posted by Ferdz on 11 Nov 2008 under Sweet Talk · 8 Comments
Desserts have always been synonymous with the words “sweets” but it doesn’t always have to be that way. A visit to an American country-style bakery cafe named Mom’s and Tina’s proved us wrong. They have a huge selection of baked goodies that are both truly luscious to the eyes and delectable to the taste.
Mom and Tina’s is a run by the Torres family (named after their Grandmother Mama Belen and her daughter Tina Torres-Santos) for a few years now. The restaurant shows that the very good home-grown food they prepare is hard not to hide for so long. Starting as a small bake shop in Pasig, their place eventually grew to a large bakery cafe in front of SM Hypermart in Ugong. And about 3 months back they opened a new spot in Legaspi Village along Dela Rosa, Makati where we were finally able to sample what they have to offer.
