I have this love-hate relationship with Thai cuisine. While I loved a good Pad Thai and Khao Pad, I just didn't have an inkling with curry based dishes. The selection of restaurants that offer authentic Thai food are beginning to shape up,for a lot of Thai restaurants have been opening in the Metro. Just Thai was one of my great new discoveries.


Just Thai have been in Burgos Circle for quite a while, I just didn't notice it much. I have been always distracted by other restaurants in the area (such as Wrong Ramen) that I wasn't able to discern that there is a quaint Thai restaurant there. I only know one Thai restaurant in BGC (Silk Road), which just opened this year.

It was the day that typhoon Glenda was about to hit the Metro. While everyone's busy preparing for the impending calamity, I was enjoying myself consuming authentic Thai Food with the company of few food bloggers. Here are the dishes we had:

Chef Lau's Pugon Roasters is a "FAST GOOD" restaurant that serves firebrick oven-roasted traditional Pinoy dishes at an affordable price. I have always wanted to try their branch in Ayala Triangle (the nearest to our office). Unfortunately, whenever Soshi and I plan to dine there, either for lunch or dinner, they were always full. I have observed that not only yuppies enjoy eating at Pugon Roasters, even foreigners as well.

After the success of their branch in Ayala Triangle, Chef Roland Laudico, or more known as Chef Lau brings his signature Filipino dishes at Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill. The branch opened last April and had been making young professionals tummies happy.

Katsu Houses have been sprawled all over the metro. Those juicy pork meat coated with crispy batter, the japanese way have been capturing our foodie hearts (and tummy). Armed with the perfect set meal of unlimited rice for the typical Filipino eaters, unlimited cabbage for people whose watching their carbs, refillable miso soup and pickles, These Katsu places sure know how to make tummies happy.

Saboten is the first franchised restaurant acquired by the Raintree Restaurants whose known for their western cuisine attributing to their roster of restaurants like M Cafe, Mr. Jones, Momo and Chelsea. When Saboten came to the Philippines, it has directly been on the top 5 katsu places to try in the Metro. I've tried several katsu places like Yabu and Kimukatsu. Recently, Saboten opened its second branch just below our office in Glorietta 5. So I was curious how good Saboten really is. Did Saboten Lived up to it's hype?


I was just plotting Saboten on my list of food places to try since it's just below our office. I was glad that I got invited to try Saboten. We met with Carmela and Michele, from Raintree Restaurants as they discuss the origins of Saboten and some of their restaurants. They let us order anything we liked on the menu. As I was browsing through their menu, I was shocked on how Saboten will surely make one's tummy burst with satisfaction. Their set meals serving were almost good for two persons. The prices were almost the same as other Katsu places, ranging from Php400-500/pax

Everyone might have heard of Juju Cleanse, one of the pioneers in juice fasting. The owners, Kat and David Azanza believe in a complete and doctor approved way of detoxifying that doesn't interfere with our regular day to day lives. They have always been an advocate of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Bonifacio Global City is slowly shaping its scenery, catering to the hungry tastebuds of foodies. With a lot of restaurants sprawled in hectares of land developed by Ayala, It's rounding up to become a foodie haven ranging for budget friendly and upscale restaurants.

The Fort Strip is known for as a "strip" of Gastropub and lounges. Little do you know, there are a lot of restaurants that serves comfort food within the area. Bloggers were invited to Sunshine Kitchen, a quaint restaurant at The Fort Strip, to try their menu and best sellers.


Sunshine Kitchen is located at the second floor at The fort strip. It is tucked carefully at the corner of the strip with a wide glass window overlooking the space below. One step at Sunshine Kitchen, you'll be transported to an open kitchen in one of the Western loft apartments.

Their interiors are vibrant and full of light which holds true to it's name, Sunshine Kitchen. You'll be welcomed with brick walls, creatively placed hanging plants and lightbulbs, wooden chairs and tables and their open (separated by clear glass) kitchen. It exudes a homey atmosphere.


Sunshine Kitchen opens at lunchtime (11AM-2PM). We arrived just as the lunch hour's about to end. We met Tanya, the chef and part owner of Sunshine Kitchen.We got to see her in action, in the kitchen, preparing the dishes we were about to try.
