LE PETIT SOUFFLE: SOUFFLE SO GOOD!

     (I love food blogging and the opportunities that it has brought into my life, but I really don't want to be one of those guys, wherein it's the only thing going on in my life. Let's face it, i'm not getting any younger, and I need to think about my daughter as well, so forgive me for the decreased frequency of my new posts!)


        For the past couple of months, I've been meaning to drop by the restaurant that has been the talk of the town.. Let Petit Souffle' at Century City Mall in Makati. Unfortunately, your friendly neighborhood Picky Eater has been quite a busy man. I've actually have been working on starting a business that I intend to share with all of you soon.

    Anyway, I finally was able to make time to visit Le Petit Souffle with a few of my blogger friends. My other buddies that have been there already have raved about it, so I was looking forward to what this little place had to offer!

COSTA COFFEE IN THE PHILIPPINES: COFFEE GOES #COSTALONDONSTYLE



        My niece Cara just came from a tour of several countries in Europe just a few weeks ago, and she happily shared photos of her trip to the rest of the family through our family chat group. And one of the things I remember her telling us was how she enjoyed hanging out with her friends at a famous coffee shop in London called Costa Coffee. Apparently, it’s London’s number 1 coffee chain. And then imagine my surprise just a few days ago when I heard that London’s top coffee shop is already opening here in the Philippines!

Rain Loves CDO Funtastyk Fatless Young Pork Tocino!

CDO Funtstyk Young Pork Tocino

        If you’re a follower of my blog, then most of you already know by now that I am a full blooded carnivore, with an especially soft spot for all things pork. And that aside from loving pork, I also tend to veer towards sweet meats. And as a Pickiest Eater, it is no surprise that my little toddler is also becoming a picky eater as well.

        For breakfast, she needs to have fried egg. That’s her absolute favorite. We try to sneak in some luncheon meat in her egg and rice meal, but when she spots it, she calls us out on it. One time, however, Rina decided to try adding some of CDO’s Funtastyk Pork Tocino to her breakfast, and guess what? She loved it!

   Sweet Pork.. Yup, she’s my daughter all right!

CHILI'S NEW SWEET, SMOKY AND HOT DISHES!


       Sometime in early May, our friends from Chili's graciously hosted The KTG's surprise baby shower for Mr. & Mrs. Food Alphabet. Unfortunately, this coincided with my family's trip to Baguio, so Rina and sadly missed the joyous event, 

    Though we weren't able to joy in the merriment, the other members of The KTG who couldn't make it to the Baby Shower were invited once again by our friends at Chili's to sample the new "Sweet, Smoky and Hot" menu that they served during the party.

    Since May celebrants Dude4food and Rina were present, our visit to Chili's turned out to be a double Birthday Celebration with some dear friends!

CRYSTAL JADE DINING IN: UNLIMITED DIMSUM MADNESS + ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #1!!


           Whenever I would gush to Rina about a fantastic place that I had eaten at during my US Trip and try to make her jealous, she would always fire back at me, "Well you didn't try the dimsum buffet of Crystal Jade", knowing it's something that I regret missing out on.


          Every time I would think about how I lost the opportunity to feast on Crystal Jade Dining In's unlimited Dimsum was like a spear through the heart. 

        Fortunately, the dimsum gods recently smiled on me, with Crystal Jade Dining In bringing back their Weekend Buffet!

PROUDLY PINOY: DIAMOND HOTEL'S FEASTS OF THE FILIPINO KITCHEN


         A couple of years ago, the legend of Pepita's Kitchen was perhaps the foodie world's best kept secret. People heard whispers of this place that serves delectable Roasted pigs stuffed with different variants that would blow your mind, yet no one seemed to know where it could be found, since the dishes came from Private Dinners held in Makati, not an actual restaurant.

     In the food blogging world, an invitation to the famed Pepita's Kitchen Degustation Private Dinner is considered one of the "Golden Tickets" you can receive in your website's career. Only a select few have gotten an invitation to this epic dinner, and the fortunate ones will swear that it is among the best meals they've ever had in their entire life. 

     After rocking the Purple Yam at New York last July and causing long lines in Singapore just this March, the incredible lechons of Dedet Dela Fuente and Pepita's Kitchen are a secret no more, and is very well on it's way to becoming a legitimate global sensation. 

     The Lechon Diva, as she is belovedly called by her friends and fans, takes the stage at Diamond Hotel and works her magic with their renowned in-house chef, Marko Rankel to come up with The Feasts from the Filipino Kitchen Buffet for the first half of June!
