Benassi Alimento E Caffe | Ravioli and other Italian Goodies

An unassuming establishment at the ground floor of Exchange Regency Residence Hotel in Ortigas. Benassi Alimento E Caffe is easy to miss once you make a turn to the inner Jade road from Exchange Road in Ortigas. However, those who spot this humble dining space is in for a treat. Benassi is a family-run restaurant. Filipino-Italian owner Katia Benassi was born and raised in Italy and brought their beloved home-cooked Italian favorites in Manila.

Poco Deli | Bacon Like no Other and More

I will never look at Bacon the same way again. While I love my thin crisp and crunchy cooked bacon, the savory thick slabsfinely cooked bacon at Poco Deli changed my cholesterol charged excitement for bacons. The Bacon Slab (Php 320), coupled with bacon rice (bits of bacon on rice) and sunny side egg on top, the intense flavor left me no words but pure enjoyment on every bite. It’s a haven for bacon lovers I tell you and it is found on this artisan sausage deli in Kapitolyo, Pasig. But the fun doesn’t stop there as we tried their other offerings begging to steal the
limelight.

Sagada’s Misty Lodge and Cafe: Food worth walking kilometers for

Misty Lodge Dam's Chicken Perhaps, by a stroke of serendipity, Happyfoodies found accommodation in the town outskirts some 1.5 kilometers from the sentro.  Meaning yes, we’re away from where most of the eating places are but by luck, very, very close to Misty Lodge and Cafe.  Our host, Derick, of Yabami Lodge recommended it to us as we were looking for somewhere closer to eat apart from Rock Inn’s Bodega Cafe some 350 meters away.  Smoked out from the Panag-apoy rites, we decided to drop by at dinner time as the cafe was on our way home.   So, did we like the food?  Well, we came back a second and third time during our three days in Sagada.  It was that good.

Herencia Cafe: Ilocano Fusion Cuisine at its Finest

Herencia Cafe Langonisa Pizza To say I love Ilocano Food is an understatement, believe it or not, Ilocos is one of the regions in the country where the food excites me as much as the sights it have. On the second to the last day of our Lakbay Norte 2 tour, we ventured to Herencia Cafe, just in front of the magnificent UNESCO world heritage site of San Agustin Church in Paoay. Such a perfect spot where we not only get to see a stunning heritage, we also get to enjoy the culinary heritage of Ilocos.

Un amore at Buon Giorno

Buon Giorno Rack of Lamb Minetrone and bruschetta so good, they inspired and conspired to make people fall in love. Veteran photographer Mark Floro tells of a food tale both incredible and romantic — of how Linda so enamored him with her renditions of Minestrone and Bruschetta that he promptly married her.

The story piqued the curiosity of your Happyfoodies so much so that when we got the opportunity to visit Buon Giorno, Mark and Linda’s Italian restaurant in Ortigas, we knew we had to order what has smitten Mark.
