Food Trip

Dining at Pepper Lunch in Tokyo was one of E's Must-Do's on his trip there

E and I are very excited that Pepper Lunch has finally arrived here in Manila. E discovered Pepper Lunch at Ngee Ann City in Singapore and it has become his favorite place to dine in when he is in Singapore. I first tried it in December 2004, and had the chance to go there again during our month long stay in Singapore in March-April 2006. E made it a point to dine at a Pepper Lunch in Tokyo when he was there. And now it's in Manila, at one one of our favorite hang-outs, Power Plant Mall. Can't wait to eat there, but maybe we'll wait until the lines are shorter...

E and I have also dined recently at Racks and never thought that we missed it that much. We used to dine there at least once a month when we were still dating. Our favorites are still the pork ribs and the fish and chips.

Also, Bun on the Run is back. Well, I'm not really sure if it really disappeared, but I think it's been so long since I've seen a store until I saw the kiosk at Metrowalk. The chori-burger and the smoked porkloin were our favorite snacks when we were dating. Wow, talk about memories... I was just a bit shocked that the price per sandwich is now P75 each. It wasn't the cheap snack that I knew before. Nevertheless, I bought Hubby the chori-burger one evening as pasalubong.

E and I dined at Mom and Tina's twice in a span of a week. We adore their callos and beef stew. We also liked their chicken relleno with that intriguing garlic oil sauce.

Oh wow, I can't remember the last time I used the word "chori-burger" in a sentence. Brings back fond memories. Sarap-sarap niyan! Panay cholesterol and sodium nga lang.

This post is so nakakagutom. I will add Pepper Lunch and Mom and Tina's to the "itinerary" for July. Where na nga ulit is Mom and Tina's?

Bun on the Run was also a favorite when TC and I were dating. Love the chori-burger and mexican pizza! I tried something similar to Pepper Lunch. It's in Trinoma and is called hmmm...Beef Pepper Steak? Pepper Beef Steak? Let's include Mom and Tina's in our July plans.
