One good thing here in Singapore is that breakfast fare are available all day. Ever since moving to Singapore, I learned to love a good ol' toast sandwich. You can find the staple kaya toast sandwiches everywhere in Singapore. Eating kaya toast or sweet toasts all day everyday can tire out your palate, so unique flavored sandwiches are a warm welcome to foodies like me.


Eggstop is a quaint store that mainly sell thick sandwiches with savory fillings. Their menu is not as extensive as other stores, but that's the beauty of it. If you are tired of eating sugar-filled sanwiches, Eggstop got you covered for they mainly serve savory sandwiches.

They opened a small store in Paya Lebar Square. They currently have 6 sandwiches that you can try namely, Beef Teriyaki, Turkey Bacon and Cheese, Chicken Ham and Cheese, Spicy Corn and Cheese, Smoked Chicken and Classic Tuna.


My old foodie self (without the dairy restriction) would have ordered everything in the menu and tried them for you guys. For now, I ordered two for us to try. I ordered the Beef Teriyaki (lesser evil) and the Chicken Ham and Cheese.


Beef Teriyaki Sandwich

The sandwich consists of thin beef slices with their signature sauce nesting in two soft thick slices of bread, topped with an egg yolk. I asked the staff to remove the yolk.


VERDICT: 4/5
The sandwich is savoringly delicious! It is like a teriyaki gyudon in a sandwich. The price is a little bit reasonable given that there is generous amount of beef. Overall, $6 for a sandwich for me is a bit steep, it'll be considered an indulgence.


Chicken Ham and Cheese

The sandwich consists of a chicken ham slice, cheese, scrambled eggs and their signature sauce. This one is for my husband, and he told me he liked it. I did took a little bite (sorry Daxton!) and it tastes like your favorite ham and cheese sandwich.


VERDICT: 3/5
It is quite basic yet filling. The price is also a bit steep for a basic sandwich. Flavor-wise, it can be a good grub for hungry people.


OVERALL:
Eggstop is a sandwich store that sells good savory sandwiches. Their prices are a bit higher than a normal sandwich, which compensates for the depth of flavor and taste. I wouldn't mind buyimg another sandwich from them if I am hungry and wanted a filling snack.

Good News! They recently opened a new store in Chinatown. If you are a tourist visiting the Chinatown area, you can try this one out. I bet it is a good snack to bring while strolling around the area.

What is your favorite sandwich? Let's hear them in the comments below.

Japanese cuisine is one of the fast-rising cuisine that was welcomed by the Filipino palate with arms wide open. It is inevitable as a lot of Japanese big food chains have opened here and you can have your fill of Japanese dishes anywhere, from high-end down to hole-in-wall types.


Fresh from our honeymoon as newly wed couple, Soshi and I was craving for something Japanese. Luckily we got an invite from Ramen Cool West Ave to try out their dishes.

Ramen Cool is a simple Japanese restaurant which offers a variety of Japanese dishes like rolls, sushi, sashimi, donburi and ramen. Currently they have 3 branches all across the Metro. Their interiors and ambiance is comparable to the clean and minimalistic approach of the Japanese.

Another Zomato Foodie Meet-up!

When life gets too gloomy and you feel stressed, we all crave a bit of sunshine to get us through the day. I have been to that phase because of work training, wedding preparations, basically everything in my life had been too much to take. So when Zomato invited me for a foodie meet-up at one of the sunniest resto in the metro, how can I not say yes?

Milky and Sunny started spreading their sunshine at their first branch in the foodie haven, Kapitolyo. It was pegged as an all day breakfast place that everyone loves to hang. Pia Magalona, one of the restaurant owners mentioned that they wanted to share the charm of Milky and Sunny here in Makati.


What I love about Milky and Sunny is their ambiance and interiors. They really stood up to their name because the place really attracts a lot of sunshine. High ceiling, warm cozy interiors, you can't help but feel happy as you dine here. Now, let's talk about their food. They have an extensive menu as most of their dishes are inspired by Pia's kids favorite dishes, hence most of the dishes names have their name on it. Take a look at some of the dishes we tried:

The foodie scene in Jupiter Street is certainly coming alive, thank to the different diverse restaurants popping here and there. It makes our lives harder and at the same time, exciting. Our tummies flutter at the mere thought of "Where do we eat?" as choices are vastly immense, you'd want to try everything.

In the recent AMPR Bloggers Appreciation Night,the AMPR Digital and Marketing team invited us bloggers for dinner to share with us their milestones and introducing more partner brands, which included Cuore Bistro and Social Lounge.

Cuore is an Italian word for "heart", which describes the dishes that they offer in their homey bistro. It is definitely a cool place to hang out with and catch-up with friends because of their cozy atmosphere. Let me share what Cuore prepared for us that night:

This is a continuation of our Zomato Food Run adventure. Zomato Food Run is quite similar to a food crawl, but the main difference is that we are crossing 3 different cities and trying out dishes from 5 different restaurants . We're trying to conquer 3 prominent foodie location, BGC, Makati and Paranaque.

Zomato invited me to another exciting event, the first ever Zomato Food Run. Basically, it's quite similar to a food crawl, but the main difference is that we are crossing 3 different cities and trying out dishes from 5 different restaurants . We're trying to conquer 3 prominent foodie location, BGC, Makati and Paranaque.

After a nice yoga workout session at Life Yoga, you'll definitely crave for something to fill up your tummy. But the idea of fast food will make you cringe because you've put up so much work into that yoga session to waste it by binge-eating on foods that does not help with your fitness goals.


Luckily, Vibe Cafe is literally beside the Life Yoga Studio. They serve healthy meals and drinks that will complement all the workout you've exerted in their studio. You will never feel guilty because their meals were designed to make you full, while giving you a dose of macro nutrients that your body actually needs after that hot yoga sesh.


Vibe Cafe is a quiant cafe located beside (inside as well!) the Life! Yoga studio. It is a  one stop quick shop for health buffs (of hungry foodies as well!) who has a grumbling stomach after an intense workout. I was invited to try out their dishes before they go fully announce it to the public. They were on soft opening when I visited them.

Zomato invited me to 121 Resto Bar and Grill for their first ever Zomato Quiz Night. I've been to other quiz nights before and I must say it was one fun activity. So when I received the invite, I was stoked and immediately said yes.

121 Resto Bar and Grill is known for their "kanta rooms" or rooms where you can sing with friends while enjoying good food. They currently have 5 braches and their newest branch is in the newly renovated Bonifacio Stopover. The BGC branch is a bit small and compact. They have 2 kanta rooms, a common area inside for dining and an al fresco area. 121 Resto Bar and Grill is not a KTV place, but a bar that serves food and drinks. They have themed nights as well in different branches like poetry night, acoustic nights, open mic and of course quiz nights.

121 Retso Bar and Grill warmly welcomed us foodies from Zomato for a night of fun and games. I think there were more than 20 foodies who came and participated in the quiz night. Here are some of the dishes we munched on to get our brains pumping for the quiz night:

Filipino cuisine is one that is closest to my heart. Despite the diverse selection of different cuisines in the Metro, I will always say yes to it on any occasion. A lot of restaurants have opened up, introducing different regional Filipino cuisines. One of those is Naimas Taste of Home Makati.


Naimas Makati is a homey retaurant located at the busy streets of Amorsolo. It is tucked between  those corporate Makati buildings. As you come in, you'll get a warm ambiance. Naimas offers mostly Ilokano cuisine but there are also other Filipino favorites. My heart skipped a beat because Ilokano dishes are truly amazing (BAGNEEET!!)



Luckily, I have been to Vigan (check out my post here) and have tasted authentic Ilokano dishes. Aside from the ever fan favorite Bagnet, there are also intersting Ilokano dishes to try like Sinanglao, Pakbet, Igado, etc..



Team Aldous visited Naimas one afternoon weekend for some lip smacking food adventure. Here are some of the dishes we tried that afternoon:

Food Bazaars and Hawker Weekend Markets are sprawled everywhere and shaping up the foodie scene. For a limited number of days, you get to choose from a variety of dishes from different vendors at an affordable price. Most of the vendors that join these bazaars are budding entrepreneurs that has a product they wish to test out in the market.


On their second installment, Valero Eat Street is again opening their doors to eager foodies to give them a glimpse of the food scene in Salcedo. The foodie festival was held at Signa Residences Makati, a posh residential place squeezed in Makati CBD. Valero Eat Street is at the al-fresco atrium of Signa Residences, which made the whole deal comfortable despite the scorching humid heat.


Of course, I can't pass this opportunity up when Zomato invited me as one of their VIP guest to check out the scene. It is literally a foodie's dream! Here's what's waiting for us VIPs that day:

Another Zomato Foodie Meet-up!

I love going to Zomato foodie meet-ups because I get to know other fellow foodies and bond over good food. So despite my crazy schedule, I was able to squeeze some time and marched to Greenbelt for a foodie meet-up.


Mr. Pizza is considered Korea's number 1 pizza chain. They have hundreds of branches in Korea until they decided to bring it here in the Philippines. Mr. Pizza Greenbelt is the first branch here in the Metro. I only have heard of Mr. Pizza, thanks to SNSD's Lion Heart video. I was wondering  about the difference of a Korean pizza as compared to our own local pizza.


As you enter the place, you'll  be greeted with a pizza counter where they make the pizza and a loft seating area at the left side. We were ushered to the loft area which was overlooking the pizza counter. You can clearly view how your pizza's gonna be made. My lion tummy was excited! Here are some of the items we tried that night:

Agape is a Greek word which means selfless and unconditional love. It is considered the highest form of love and it is the kind of love we receive from God. It was inspiring to know that there are restaurants built on the concept of Agape or selfless love.


When I met the owner of Agape Pastries and Tartines, she enthusiastically retold the story behind e . It was a story that's worth an MMK episode. I won't go into full details, but instead, I'll indulge you with the details of the dishes we tried that night.

After our pampering sesh at the newly opened KitcheNails Trinoma, Team Aldous headed to Congressional to have a late dinner at Agape Pastries and Tartines. Agape is considered a refuge for people looking for some spark and inspiration to go through life.

Agape specializes in French fusion cuisine. They make use of organic ingredients to ensure the quality of the flavors are top notch. Here are some of the dishes we were able to try that night:

Gone are the days where store chain coffee shops dominate the cafe scene. With the rise of third wave coffee, and the demand for better coffee at an affordable price from coffee connoisseurs and enthusiasts, the coffee scene is becoming more and more interesting. Quality coffee much cheaper than chain brands, a relaxing vibe and a working (and stable!) internet connection, no wonder that Commune Makati is one of those places everyone raves.


Commune have been getting lots of love from the Makati yuppies ever since they started at their Salcedo branch. Now, they relocated in a much hipper environment in Poblacion. They miss the love from the working crowd in Salcedo, but the Poblacion yuppies and residents have been so awesome and extended their love to Commune.

Aldous invited us foodies to meet the owners of Commune. Apart from coffee and pastries, we were there to try some new dishes that Commune is about to introduce to their patrons. Here are some of the items we got to try that night:

New Year, New Food Adventures..

Greenbelt 5 has a wide stretch of interesting restaurants to try. Oftentimes, we get too intimidated by the posh and luxurious setting, but seriously, there are some good restaurants to try without doing too much damage to your wallet. Tapella is one of those restaurants.


Tapella is a Spanish restaurant which takes pride of its roots. I can think of three reasons why you should drop by at Tapella. First, the ambiance is a great place to unwind, with a luxurious vibe. Second, you may want to get a glimpse of their charming chef, Chef Robert Spakowski. And lastly, they have the best tapas (appetizer) for a good price.

We stormed at Tapella along with Team Aldous to dine and celebrate the holidays last December. Here are some of the interesting dishes we tried that night:

Nights appear to be more interesting as restaurants like Wingman make your dining experience more fun by holding Quiz Night every week. I was invited by Aldous to Wingman UP Town Center's Blogger Quiz Night.

Wingman started their store in The Collective Malugay and had been having a blast for they now have 4 stores across the metro. Their newest one is in UP Town Center is a very space-y store that is filled with LED TVs all across the floor. It has the best ambiance for live- viewing events and bonding sessions specially for sports fanatics.


Before we started with the brain crunching questions, Wingman first delighted our tummies with their famous wings and sides.

It was a warm welcome when the Gifted team invited us for a light snack to introduce a new way to gift gifts, specially this holiday season. Gifted.ph is an online retail website that utilizes gift certificates to be sent out as personalized gifts. Gifted chose Stella Wood fire Bistro as the place to held their event.

Cable Car have been in the restaurant industry since 1992. I remember when I first went in Cable Car Makati, Soshi and I played beer pong with KC Montero and Jimmy Muna, and we actually won that night.

Fast forward to present time, Cable Car now has four branches here in Metro Manila (Makati, Timog, BGC and Ortigas). We went in for a foodie meetup at their newest branch in Ortigas. Cable Car have been long known for their comfort food faves that goes really well with their beers and drink selection. Most diners keep going back to Cable Car because of its fun and at the same time chill environment.


Almost all Cable Car branches have the same ambiance. Cable Car Ortigas have a high ceiling where there is also a seating area for diners just above their bar. Cable Car Ortigas is tucked inside the new building, Sapphire Bloc near Marco Polo.

Apart from their bar chow favorites (I mean, who doesn't love Cable Car's sisig?!), here are some of the dishes you can also try at Cable Car Ortigas:

A lot of pubs have opened around BGC area, catering to the ever busy young professionals in Taguig. With their hectic day, a lot of them have been gravitated towards pubs at the end of the day to unwind  with the company of comfort food and drinks as they wrap up their busy day.

Pablo's Pub and Restaurant is tucked between the array of specialty Asian Restaurants in The Forum building. Their interiors are inspired by European pubs (or a gentleman's pub) which will want you to sink yourself in the couch and drink the night blues away.


In line with their anniversary, Pablo's is revamping their signature burgers to make your dining (and drinking) experience more comforting. Pablo's opened its doors to us, Zomato reviewers as they unveil their new and improved signature burgers. Here are a few of the signature burgers that we tried that night:
