Kushi Tombo

Coming in on the back of a run of terrible photos is this unidentifiable shot of my new favourite restaurant, Kushi Tombo.  I can take most of the blame for the terrible photography but some of the credit goes to the extreme overhead lighting, dark restaurant and pitch black evening.  Photography and me are like […]

Asiana Korean Restaurant, Cincinnati, OH

Mother’s Day was celebrated earlier this year, and the absence of crowds made the day so pleasant that we have decided to make this our new tradition. Since it was “my” day, I got to pick where we were dining.

Asiana Korean Restaurant is about 20 minutes North from the heart of Cincinnati, so that […]

Manila Bay Bar and Grill and Cebu

Maricar at Filipina Soul posted about two restaurants in Philadelphia, PA. We ate at one of them pre-blogging days, but the other one — Cebu — is new to me. Note to self: gotta try that one next time we’re in Philly! I hope they have lechon! Whoops… just […]

Jollibee, San Diego, CA

The Filipinos’ response to fast food:

Jollibee beckons!

ChickenJoy, great even coloring, crunchy coating and juicy inside… the kids loved it! Remember, though, that you can also make great fried chicken at home.

Halo-halo
Hubby thoroughly enjoyed this one, but for the price you can make something just as good, or even better at home, to serve more […]

Buga Korean BBQ, San Diego, CA

We were in Kirk country two weeks ago, and the family wanted to eat Korean food. I wasn’t about to leave that up to chance so taking a cue from Kirk we decided on Buga Korean BBQ. We haven’t done fondue in a while, so the kids have missed cooking at the table. […]

Zarlito’s Family Restaurant, National City, CA

Last week after a day in Carlsbad we went to Zarlito’s, one of the Filipino restaurants reviewed at Kirk’s awesome San Diego (and beyond) food blog…

Aisa’s longsilog

My 10-yo’s Crispy Pata

My 8-yo’s Bistek
I had to have my veggies, so I got Pinakbet:

Zarlito’s […]

Dot Wo, Oklahoma City

Dinner in Oklahoma City on our way to the hotel:
Exterior, unassuming:

Interior:

Orange Beef, too sweet, batter a tad too thick, and the meat was on the tough side, wouldn’t recommend this one!

BBQ Ribs, careful about those bones!

Mixed Claypot (Scallops, Chicken, Pork Kidney, Veggies, Tofu) — Generous serving here.
Steve says Dot Wo’s specialty supposedly […]

Ewwww.

Just EWWW.
To his credit, Chef Tatsuo Tanabe claims this is the first time he’s done this, and that it will be the last. Eat Tokyo has gotten good reviews the past year, and if you think about it the air inside a restaurant’s kitchen isn’t exactly sterile, but still….

Arloi Dee’s Thai Bistro

Ate here 2 weeks ago with the hubby. Not too impressed, the pad ki mao wasn’t anything like I was expecting — tasted too Chinese for me; the only thing that reminded me we were at a Thai restaurant were the basil leaves stir-fried with it…. will have to eat there again to […]
