pastries of yore

Posted by: divasoria on: September 10, 2009

ensaimadas are filipino-spanish pastries that are kind of like brioche with more cheese, sugar and butter. i grew up loving ensaimada and i have fond memories of eating one for merienda along with filipino hot chocolate. ensaimadas are very commercialized now with versions courtesy of nino muhlach’s megamelt(which i hate) and of course, the then-bazaar [...]

curiosity killed the cat

Posted by: divasoria on: June 11, 2009

after much hype, i finally tried charlie’s grind and grill, a nondescript burger joint in a carwash in pasig. touted to be the best and cheapest place to get your burger fix, the inner burger lover in me was salivating.

the verdict? good for the price. 200++ for a black angus burger with fries [...]

missing chipotle

Posted by: divasoria on: May 30, 2009

i’ve been jonesing for chipotle, this burrito fast-food joint in the US. it’s cheap, filling and REALLY good. you can pick chicken, steak, pork barbacua. you even have a choice of either burrito bowl or a traditional burrito. while vacationing in NYC last october, i would buy one for brunch and this would [...]

obsessed – good burgers

Posted by: divasoria on: May 19, 2009

even as a sworn carnivore since birth, i’ve taken a liking – nay – an OBSESSION over good burgers’ veggie burgers. i never thought i’d love them this much as the first few times i’ve gone to good burgers, i always picked the chicken patties coz veggie burgers give me this vision of cardboard-tasting, dry [...]

kiss on the lips

Posted by: divasoria on: February 13, 2009

if you think valentine’s day is overrated but would love a freebie, bring your SO or your MOMOL to pepper lunch at the power plant mall or shangri-la mall to declare your love/lust to the whole world and while you’re at it, get a free molten chocolate cake and kurimitsu sundae, too.
a much better deal [...]
