Featured Philippines Quezon City What's New

Kiss the Tiramisu Trinoma (Quezon City) – NOW OPEN!

New Restaurant in Quezon City: Kiss the Tiramisu Trinoma

Ice cream will always be my go-to-dessert – it’s simple yet delightful. And it also comes in a myriad of flavors – all bringing sweet memories of my youth. And now, a new wave of Korean sweets is now taking over northern Metro Manila. Kiss the Tiramisu, the famous Korean luxury dessert cafe, finally opens its second branch in the Philippines. So dessert lovers, it’s time to indulge. See you soon at the newly-opened Kiss The Tiramisu Trinoma branch!

What is Kiss the Tiramisu?

Kiss the Tiramisu is a Seoul-based dessert café that’s gained popularity with their creamy soft-served Tiramisu Ice Cream. Kiss the Tiramisu has definitely transformed a simple yet popular coffee cake into a new sweet masterpiece. They also serve coffee and non-coffee drinks. As well as a few food items such as pasta, pancakes, and even cakes. And last year, the craze has since delighted many sweet-toothed Filipino foodies. With the opening of its first branch at Valero in Makati City.

Kiss the Tiramisu’s fresh, artisanal menu of the dessert cafe is the brainchild of FTAY Group Company. A food company composed of friends from military school who decided to team up and redefine the sweets experience.

Shirley Vy, CEO and President of Foodeology Inc. master franchisee in the Philippines, said that they came up with the idea of recreating familiar desserts into something different. Hence, coining the “foodeology” concept that aimed to enhance dessert dining to a whole new level.

And a whole new level did spell out wonders for the dessert company. In South Korea, it’s actually quite usual to get long queues for a cup in the dessert café’s 14 branches all over. Today, Kiss the Tiramisu is becoming the go-to treat for more people as the brand grows its global franchise across China, Canada, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The luxury café is also set to open in Paris soon!

Bestsellers at Kiss the Tiramisu

Tiramisu Ice Cream – HTD Favorite! (Php 265.00)

Kiss the Tiramisu - Trinoma Branch - Classic Tiramisu Ice Cream

Tiramisu Ice Cream (Php 265.00)

Kiss the Tiramisu’s Classic Tiramisu Ice Cream is a fresh take on what tiramisu ice cream is all about. The thick, melts-in-your-mouth smooth layers of soft-served made with pure milk (YES!). Then mixed with generous servings of mascarpone cheese, coffee crumble, butter cookies, and topped with dark chocolate shavings. The fresh ingredients blend into a harmonious symphony of balanced sweetness. With the mascarpone cheese adding a pinch of saltiness to highlight the sweet flavours of the cookies and chocolate. A classic but definitely a goodie!

Tiramisu Ice Cream: A classic but definitely a goodie!

Memories of the rich and smooth ice cream can also be taken home. Kiss the Tiramisu’s ice creams, served in gold-rimmed acrylic goblets, make excellent souvenirs and can be reused. (Sadly, we were so stuffed that we forgot we could when we dined in at Kiss The Tiramisu Trinoma.)

Midas Touch (Php 295.00)

Kiss the Tiramisu - Trinoma Branch - Midas Touch

Midas Touch (Php 295.00)

As its special offering, Kiss the Tiramisu creates a unique flavor in every country it goes to. In the Philippines, its exclusive ice cream, crafted by Chef Kat Diploma, is called the Midas’ Touch. A soft-served ice cream with ube cake and leche flan. It has layers of crushed barquillos, drizzled with caramel sauce, and real, edible 24k gold.

Midas Touch: a creamy, luxurious twist to the classic halo-halo!

The gold-tipped, highly Instagrammable ice cream is definitely a must-try for its delicious and familiar Filipino taste. I personally loved the blend of the ube cake leche flan, very reminiscent of our local halo-halo.

Matcha Tiramisu Ice Cream – HTD Favorite! (Php 285.00)

Kiss the Tiramisu offers other specialty ice creams to satisfy sweet cravings. One of which is the east-meets-west concoction called Matcha Tiramisu Ice Cream. It’s almost like the Original Tiramisu but matcha sauce is poured instead of coffee, with a dusting of matcha powder. This was actually the biggest winner for me! The matcha’s bitter-ish taste was a good compliment to the sweetness of the ice cream.

Injeolmi Tiramisu Ice Cream (Php 265.00)

Last but not the least, the Injeolmi Tiramisu Ice Cream puts a spotlight on the Korean delicacy called Injeolmi. It’s basically sticky rice cakes dusted with roasted soy bean powder. The flavors could be enhanced more but the Injeolmi (like tikoy) added an awesome-chewy texture to the dessert. Which I truly enjoyed!

Christmas Cakes at Kiss the Tiramisu

For this season, Happier Holidays await at Kiss the Tiramisu. As the dessert café presents its specialty Christmas cakes namely Peach Cheesecake and Oreo Mousse Cake. With all the savory food we’re about to indulge on, both are definitely perfect dessert centerpieces in festive occasions. Craving for something rich and sweet, go for the Oreo Mousse Cake (my fave). Want something fruity and light, Kiss the Tiramisu’s Peach Cheesecake is the perfect meal-ender!

Aside from ice creams and cakes, the cafe is complete with fresh roasted coffees to go with the desserts. I ordered their Matcha Latte and it was awesome. Not overtly sweet nor bitter, and had a smooth and creamy coffee base on it. Otherwise, one can go for coffee/dessert fusions such as the cheese cream latte, kissing coffee, and tiramisu affogato to name a few.

Kiss the Tiramisu - Trinoma Branch - Truffle Mushroom Pasta

Hungry? Dig in to KTT’s Truffle Mushroom Pasta first before indulging into their famous luxury ice creams!

Kiss the Tiramisu definitely hits the spot for sweets lovers. And the indulgent cheese-infused and coffee-infused desserts will make you crave for a glimpse of sweet heaven again. Two branches are already available in the Philippines with the first branch located at the Ground Floor of Three Central in Valero Street, Makati City. While the second branch is located at the Ground Floor of the Mindanao Lobby Entrance of TriNoma Mall.

New Orleans Food Tour by Destination Kitchen

written by HungryTravelDuo

Our Score

Things to do in New Orleans: Food Tour by Destination Kitchen

Now that we’ve given you a stomping New Orleans Jazz Tour, let’s dive into NOLA’s soulful food, shall we? I’ve always heard about great things about their food – of how rich, comforting, and distinctly flavorful they are. And I think it was just high time for Karlaroundtheworld and I to take a legit food tour around New Orleans on the second day of our trip. Read on to check out our favorites during New Orleans Food Tour by Destination Kitchen. Bon appétit!

Destination Kitchen Food Tour

New Orleans Food Tour Snapshot

Destination Kitchen’s New Orleans Food Tour is a 3-hour guided tour filled with eating, drinking, walking and exploring. It features 6 food stops to serve both cajun and creole food that NOLA is best known for.

Trivia: NOLA is known for both cajun and creole food. The main difference is creole food uses tomatoes while cajun does not. Therefore giving it a herby, sour flavor. While cajun food is famous for being very well seasoned, sometimes misunderstood as being spicy.

Meetup Point/1st Stop: Roux Royale (French Quarter)

Located at the heart of the French Quarter, we met up at Roux Royale for our New Destination Kitchen Food Tour. It’s a quaint giftshop filled with charming souvenirs, gift items, and novelty food (their pralines and biscuits are quite popular. This is where we met our tour guide, Susan, who’s by the way originally from New York and has been in New Orleans for quite awhile. We then took off for our New Orleans Food Tour shortly after.

2nd stop: French Market (Open from 10 AM- 5:30 PM daily)

As we were building our New Orleans itinerary, the French Market seemed to be a crowd favorite. Lucky for us, we had a local to take us around and sample what it’s best known for. Now just a little FYI, The French Market is a sort of flea and artisan market spanning six blocks in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It’s right by Decatur and Dumaine Street in East NOLA, and is the oldest of its kind in the United States.

While waiting for our food, Susan let everyone roam around for 5-10 minutes around the shops. I had a few things in mind, so I rushed to buy some magnets ($ 1.00!) and trinkets in the rows of flea vendors at the far end. There’s also a whole lane of artisan makers fronting the food stalls. When I got back, I was warmly welcomed by Alberto’s Muffuleta Sandwich.

The Muffuleta is a type of round Sicilian sesame bread that was originally invented at the Central Grocery Store in 1906. However, as legend has it, locals have created varieties of it since then. And now the one served in Alberto’s seems to be the best that NOLA has to offer. The one we had was very tasted and had a generous amount of olive bits, salami, ham, provolone, and Swiss cheese in it. I’m not much of an olive fan so I took most of them out but it still had a strong flavor yet very tasty. Karla on the other hand, paired her muffuleta sandwich with her favorite Bloody Mary.

3rd Stop: Tugaje’s Restaurant (823 Decatur St.)

Having a great appetizer in the French Market, Susan then took us to one of NOLA’s oldest restaurant bars: Tujague’s! The place is actually quite old (built in 1856) but Tujague’s still serves some of the best classic Creole food in New Orleans. And we cannot help but agree!

We had Tugaje’s famous Beef Brisket with Creole Horseradish dip and it was one for the books! The meat had a deep, savory taste to it, so tender that we didn’t need knives to cut through it. And the horseradish dip? Just wonderful. It had a distinct sour-savory flavor that made us all very happy diners. (Save the spooky tales behind Tugaje’s for later!)

Pit Stop: Jackson Square

On the way to our 4th stop, we took a quick breather at the historic Jackson Square. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. Mainly because of it’s the site where in 1803 Louisiana was made United States territory pursuant to the Louisiana Purchase. Loved the open space that invites dozens of people to gather round and street performers alike.

4th Stop: New Orleans Creole Cookery (Toulouse St.)

Next on our New Orleans Food Tour stop was the New Orleans Creole Cookery in Toulouse Street. Now, we’ve previously had Jambalaya the night before (Gumbo Shop) but was sadly a disappointment.

Destination Kitchen New Orleans Food Tour - New Orleans Creole Cookery - Jambalaya

Jambalaya by New Orleans Creole Cookery. The best one we’ve had in NOLA.

Good thing it was shortly redeemed by the one we had at the New Orleans Creole Cookery. Extra delicious! It was well-seasoned and had a soft mildly-spiced texture in it. I honestly wanted more!

5th Stop: Kingfish Kitchen & Cocktails (Chartres St.)

Our 5th stop on the Destination Kitchen Food Tour took us to a modern restobar called Kingfish Kitchen & Cocktails. Kingfish prides itself in serving Southern dishes and cocktails with a contemporary spin.

We had their Boudin Balls (Creole mustard aioli, red pepper jam) and Pork Cracklins’ (similar to the Filipino chicharon or fried pork rind). I enjoyed both but would have been better if we also ordered Kingfish’s famous cocktails like the Sazerac, Pimm’s Cup, or even the Vieux Carre.

6th Stop: New Orleans School of Cooking (St. Louis St.)

After all that rich and savory flavors, we were all ready for dessert! For the last stop of our New Orleans Food Tour, our group found ourselves at the highly popular New Orleans School of Cooking. Of course we weren’t going to cook (although Destination Kitchen does offer it too), but just to sample on their famous Pralines.

Destination Kitchen New Orleans Food Tour - Pralines

Pralines from New Orleans School of Cooking (the best in NOLA for me)!

Little discs of yumminess, made mostly of nuts and sugar. Available in classic and chocolate flavors, they were the perfect sweet-enders to a delicious New Orleans Food Tour. Thanks Susan and Destination Kitchen! See you at the next bite!

New Orleans Jazz Tour by Urban Adventures

written by HungryTravelDuo

Our Score

What to Do in New Orleans: Jazz Tour by Urban Adventures

New Orleans is a city built on soulful Creole food, rich history, and yes, you guessed it right – Jazz music. And what better way to see the beautiful streets of the French Quarter than through a legit New Orleans Jazz Tour, right? We took one by Urban Adventures right on our first day in New Orleans. And it literally got us swinging and stomping. So let’s go and let’s get this Jazz party started! (Fair warning: lots of drinking, laughing, and dancing involved.)

4 Reasons to Take the New Orleans Jazz Tour by Urban Adventures

Tour Snapshot: New Orleans Jazz Tour

New Orleans Jazz Tour by Urban Adventures Louis Armstrong Park

New Orleans Jazz Tour Meetup Point: Louis Armstrong Park

Few cities rival New Orleans’ nightlife thanks to its thrilling music scene. In this 2.5-hour tour, hear about the origins and culture of jazz before making your way to the 19th century neighborhood that boasts the best music and bars in town. The tour consists of a scenic stroll around the historic Louis Armstrong Park, stops in some top local jazz clubs, and ends at the equally-jazzy and artsy Frenchman Street night market. Surely, there’s nothing quite like a night out in ‘The Big Easy.’

New Orleans Jazz Music 101 (Reason 1)

Before all the jazz music, must come the history. So we headed to the beautiful Louis Armstrong Park for our New Orleans Jazz Tour meetup. Unfortunately, we ran a little late so the tour has already started. But that didn’t keep our hip tour guide, Kiazer, to welcome us warmly into the tour. And for the next 30 minutes, we took a scenic stroll around the park, picking up these interesting jazz trivia along the way:

New Orleans was founded in 1718 by the French as La Nouvelle-Orléans under the direction of Louisiana governor Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville
Brass Marching Band
Brass music was actually used by soldiers in Louisiana for communication in warfare.
The Congo Square is an open space used by slaves in the 19th as a gathering place. There, they were allowed to sing native songs and instruments to their hearts’ desire.
Can you believe a masking costume can weigh as much as 100 lbs? Or is it 300? Hehe
As for Native Americans, they practice ‘masking’ during rituals and festivals. Wearing heavy and very elaborate costumes while dancing as homage to their ancestors.
Louis Armstrong, one of the most influential figures in jazz is fondly called “Satchmo”. It’s short for Satchel-Mouth as he was believed to had a wide jaw, and therefore a large mouth. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and produced about 60 records.
Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden was an African-American cornetist who invented the “Big Four”. Thus paving the way for rhythmic innovation on the marching band beat, and later on developed to what we know now as “jazz” music.

Beautiful Jazz Bars, Clubs, and Pubs of NOLA (Reason 2)

After our quick jazz music 101, we then strolled around the historic streets of the famous French Quarter to visit a few local jazz bars and clubs. And what’s not to love? Music aside, each one displayed a beautiful fare of art, charm, and character. Whereas we have a few speakeasy bars in Manila, each jazz club in New Orleans felt like one. Dimly lit, with art-painted walls on one side, a mob-style bar in the center, and a jazzy corner reserved for musicians.

New Orleans Jazz Tour by Urban Adventures Hotel St. Pierre

The historic (and apparently haunted) Hotel St. Pierre in NOLA

And what’s a night-out without drinks, right? I don’t mean to get ahead of myself here. But I’ve tasted some of the best cocktail drinks in NOLA than anywhere else in the world. Yes, that includes the infamous Hurricane and Pimm’s Cup. (Much more on NOLA’s top drinks on a separate blog!)

Stomping Jazz Music (Reason 3)

New Orleans has always been characterized by busy streets, boasting of merry-making and music-frolicking. But I guess coming around Halloween could make things 1000% more interesting. Bourbon street aside, the whole French Quarter was bustling with people in all sorts of costumes (from silly, cute, to downright spine-chilling). While street performers and jazz musicians filled each street with beautiful, stomping jazz music. It was like a mini-Mardi Gras of sorts!

As part of the New Orleans Jazz Tour, Kiazer took us to this quaint jazz bar just off at Bourbon. With drinks on one hand, we enjoyed listening to this upcoming jazz singer named Shawan Rice. And she was just wonderful! Soulful, poetic, and with so much emotion to give.

Knowledgeable and upbeat tour guide: Kiazer (Reason 4)

From beginning to the end of the tour, our tour guide Kiazer was just awesome! Don’t let the young look fool you though. Kiazer’s in-depth knowledge about jazz and of the city made our New Orleans Jazz Tour all worthwhile. He was patient in answering questions, courteously offered drinks during bar stops, and was very polite. When we ended the tour, Kiazer even took time to wait for everyone at the Frenchman Street Night Market. Before bidding goodbye and promising to send us his food and bar recommendations around NOLA (which he did!) We couldn’t have gotten a better tour guide than Kiazer, thanks!

Appreciating all the art at the Frenchman Street Night Market

All in all, we’d totally recommend the New Orleans Jazz Tour! 5 stars for content, coverage, and service. Just don’t forget to eat ahead as drinks will be served all throughout. 🙂 To Book your New Orleans Jazz Tour, visit the Urban Adventures website. Or follow them on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/urbanadventures) and Instagram (@urbanadventures) pages. TILL THE NEXT BITE!

Enjoy Fried Chicken Heaven with Mimi & Bros.

Who doesn’t like a little twist to the way they enjoy a crowd favorite? Fried chicken is loved by many and Mimi & Bros. found a way to shake things up. Located in Crossroads on 32nd Street in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, their take on fried chicken is everything between interesting and appetizing!

Chicken Skin Nachos (New at Mimi & Bros!)

Love nachos? Look no further, mi amigo! Mimi & Bros. sure knows how to thrill their customers. Take away the tortilla chips and replace it with some tasty chicken skin to excite your taste buds. It’s not your ordinary dining experience!

Chicken Skin Nachos (Php 190.00). Enjoy with Mimi & Bros.’ Spicy Sour Cream or Hot Honey Sauce.

Enjoy a plate full of chicken skin marinated overnight with lemon then the skin is individually breaded and fried so that it retains its shape for everyone to enjoy. Now, top it off with diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeño slices and garnished with cilantro. Now savour it with a serving of our house made cheese sauce and sour cream to complete the dining experience. Crunchy, salty-sour chicken-skin goodness! I can totally see myself snacking on these for movies!

Cheesy Fried Chicken (New at Mimi & Bros!)

Yes, you read that right, you chicken-lover you! Chicken and cheese just got married in this dish that can bring you to chicken heaven. I am a self-confessed chicken connoisseur so it’s quite hard to impressed me. But this one was down-right down my alley of MASARAP! Plus, you have to admit, it’s a pretty great combo and it looks and tastes as great too!

Take the Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken that’s golden and crispy then drench and smother it with their house made cheese sauce so that it oozes with cheesy goodness. It’s enough to bring you racing to get to this place right now!

The Cheesy Fried Chicken is the perfect answer to a bad day – or even a good one because why not right? Outside, skin crisped to a nice golden-brown. Inside, moist and juice all-around. And the cheese? Just marvelous – ooey-gooey, sweet-salty, yummy-creamy!

Both chicken goodness are housed under the Everything Fried Chicken campaign of Mimi & Bros. This campaign aims to introduce new and fun ways to enjoy our take on a classic!

Chicken Fingers with Molten Cheese Dip (Php 290.00). Enjoy with Mimi & Bros.’ Honey Mustard Sauce.

Kick off your meal with a plate of Chicken Fingers with Molten Cheese Dip or the bestselling Dirty Bird (Chicken Pizza) that is made from a chicken leg quarter that is deboned and gently pounded down flat to imitate a pizza crust.

Bad Bird (Chicken Pizza) at Php 235.00. Enjoy with Mimi & Bros.’ House Blend Hot Sauce.

A chicken-pizza y’all! How cool is that?

Fried Chicken Caesar Salad

If you want to start off differently, there’s also a Fried Chicken Caesar Salad that’s a spirited take on a well-known classic. A hefty serving of their fried chicken thigh lays on a plate waiting to be enjoyed.

Mimi’s Fried Chicken Caesar Salad (Php 425.00)

It’s then topped off with romaine lettuce, micro arugula, bacon bits, sunny side-up egg and parmesan cheese. With generous servings, you’ll probably want to share it with others or you can still enjoy it for yourself! Now that’s my kind of salad!

Chicken Parmigiana Pasta

Another main dish you can try is the Chicken Parmigiana Pasta where you can enjoy leg and thigh meat topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese served with Spaghetti noodles and Mimi & Bros.’ marinara sauce.

Chicken Parmigiana Pasta

If you think that the chicken is just a side dish, with the way they serve it, it suggests otherwise. *wink

Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken Sandwich

If you wish to munch on a sandwich, you can try Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken Sandwich. It is the house fried chicken served on a brioche bun and topped with Mimi & Bros.’ special sauce.

Mimi’s Fried Chicken Sandwich (Php 285.00).

They even recommend to mix in a serving of Kimchi Slaw to add a little bit of spice and flavor.

Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken!

And of course, the campaign wouldn’t be complete without Mimi & Bros.’ best-seller – the Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken! It’s a whole chicken that has been brined overnight in Mimi’s special house brine. The chicken is then breaded with our famous mix of buttermilk, herbs and spices (the exact recipe is a secret). It is then flash fried at 270-300 degrees in premium cooking oil. Until perfectly cooked to a golden, tasty and crispy chicken.

The whole order of chicken is served with Mimi & Bros.’ chicken gravy and comes with romaine lettuce, tortillas, thyme, whole chili pepper and 3 sides. On the other hand, the half order comes with Romaine lettuce, tortillas, thyme, chili pepper and 2 sides while the quarter chicken order comes with seasoned rice, chicken gravy and 1 side.

This chicken is huge, juicy and flavorful. Whatever part you may get, you’ll surely enjoy every bite you’ll take out of it! And the side dishes are amazing as well. (The corn pudding being my favorite!)

Fried Chicken + Special Sauce Bar = MASARAP!

If you want to shake up your experience with the Mimi & Bros.’ Fried Chicken, use one or two of the nine special sauces they have on-hand. Choose from the sweet and spicy Mango Jalapeño and Root Beer BBQ, the hot and spicy House Blend Hot Sauce, the sour and fresh Cilantro Sour Cream, the spicy surprises of Hot Honey and Kimchi Mayo, the smoky taste of Bastard BBQ, the sweet and sour combo of Honey Mustard, and the explosion of sweet, spicy and sour flavors of Spicy Sour Cream. The possibilities are endless as you can create your own mix!

Experiment as much as you want and have the freedom to choose the twist you want to experience!

Can’t get enough of #EverythingFriedChicken? Go big or go home with Mimi & Bros’ Unlimited Chicken promo! Eat to your heart’s delight their bestselling Fried Chicken for only Php 399.00 per head. It comes with unlimited rice and iced tea too! Available during weekends only.

Atlanta Food Walks: Tastings, History, and a Cemetery?

written by HungryTravelDuo

Atlanta Food Tours: Grant Park Past & Future Food Walk Tour

Atlanta is the city built on food and you’ll dive into its food-loving past while tasting modern Southern-inspired flavors. Like fried catfish and okra with cucumber wasabi sauce and raspberry hibiscus meringues. Before catching our bus to New Orleans for Halloween, Karla and I decided to explore the culinary palate of Atlanta. And honestly, it’s one of the best we’ve tried in our US trip. Check out our favorites from Atlanta Food Walks: Grant Park Past & Future Food Walk Tour.

About the Grant Park Neighborhood

The Grant Park neighborhood was named after Lemuel P. Grant. A civil engineer from the Georgia Railroad who is otherwise called the “Father of Atlanta”. In the 1800s, Grant helped bring the railroad to Atlanta, opening up opportunities, and later on planned and supervised the construction of defensive lines around the city during the civil war. He then served in the committee to raft the new city charter of Atlanta in 1873.

Grant Park, as a neighborhood, began to be populated in the 1890’s by middle and some upper middle class families. Houses were built with a very distinct architectural style (American-Victorian) which we both loved, especially those eerily-decorated for Halloween. Today, Grant Pak is a mix of both old and new residents of different age and racial backgrounds. And lined with highly local restaurants, breweries, and artisan shops facing the Oakland Cemetery.

Atlanta Food Walks: Grant Park Past & Future Food Walk Tour

The Atlanta Food Walks tour features 12 modern and Southern fusion tastings from 5 locally owned food stops. It’s a 3 hour, 1.2 mile small group tour (there were 12 of us) around the Grant Park, including a ‘haunting’ jaunt through the historic Oakland Cemetery.

Meetup Point and 1st Stop: Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House

First stop of our Atlanta Food Walks tour took us right into a popular seafood house called Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House. We were first met by Joy, our spectacular Atlanta Food Walks guide, who happily briefed us about our stops for the day and about the neighborhood itself. Few minutes after, we were then seated for our first meal of the day.

Now I know the name sounds spooky (not to mention it’s located in front of Oakland Cemetery), but this hip pub hit all the right spots for me. We ate two lovely Southern favorites that still ‘haunt’ my tastebuds even after weeks passed.

Atlanta Food Walks - Grant Park - Six Feet Under Catfish and Okra Fingers

Six Feet Under’s Fried Catfish and Okra Fingers

We first had the Fried Catfish with Okra Fingers. Now, for those who know me, I am not a fan of both catfish and okra. BUT, I guess I had an epicurean epiphany when I tasted these two in Six Feet Under. I loved how the peppery-crunchy-seasoning of the catfish and okra blended well with the spicy-savory taste of the cucumber soy wasabi and sweet and sour dips served.

Atlanta Food Walks - Grant Park - Six Feet Under Shrimp Corn Grits

Six Feet Under’s Shrimp Corn Grits

It was an even bigger party in my mouth when I paired the fingers with the best Shrimp Corn Grits I’ve had in my life. It was tasty, soulful, and had a lovely-grainy texture that I enjoyed very much. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in my whole US trip!

2nd Stop: Young Augustine’s

It was a cold and rainy day when we took our Atlanta Food Walks tour but as they say, no amount of rain should and can stop a hungry foodie. So off we went around the block, marveling at the beautiful homes, en route to our second stop: Augustine’s. A favorite amongst locals, Augustine’s serves local brews and bar bites.

Atlanta Food Walks - Grant Park - Augustine's - Short Rib Grilled Cheese

Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich from Young Augustine’s

For Atlanta Food Walks, we dug into their 2 house bestsellers: the short rib grilled cheese sandwich paired with the honey-suckle ginger mule.

Atlanta Food Walks - Grant Park - Augustine's - Honey Suckle Mule

Honey-Suckle Ginger Mule from Young Augustine’s

I loved how the meat was so tender and juicy, while the cheese pimento gave it a creamy-salty kick. I also enjoyed the paradox of sweet and spicy flavors we had in our drinks. (Don’t forget to be on the lookout for the bar’s cute cat hanging out by the door.)

Pitstop: Oakland Cemetery

With heaping bellies, Joy then led the group to the neighborhood’s famous landmark: the Oakland Cemetery. It was first founded as Atlanta Cemetery in 1850 on six acres (2.4 hectares) of land southeast of the city. And later on renamed in 1872 to reflect the large number of oak and magnolia trees growing in the area. By then, the city already expanded and Oakland Cemetery also grew to the current 48 acres (190,000 m2).

Famous graves include Jasper Newton Smith, Margaret Mitchell (author of Gone With The Wind), and Maynard Jackson (Atlanta’s first African-American mayor).

3rd Stop: Growler Shop

Thirsty? Head on to My Friend’s Growler Shop. Just as we did for the 3rd stop in our Atlanta Food Walks tour. And wine not, right? It’s Grant Park’s premier stop for craft beer, growler fills, and specialty wine. We had three craft beers on tap: Creature Comfort, Archie’s Oktoberfest Beer Lager (my favorite), and the Malt Face Lagger.

We also got to try some of their local ciders to go (got the rootbeer instead).

4th Stop: Republic Social House

Nothing speaks Southern cooking more than good ol’ fried chicken with sweet potatoes. And that’s exactly what we grubbed on at the Republic Social House. A quaint watering hole with quirky decor, the fourth stop of our Atlanta Food Walks tour took us back to classic comfort food. While I found the spiced-up flavor of the Nashville Hot Chicken interesting, I found the chicken a little dry for my taste. But I did enjoy the very Southern feel of the sweet potato fries that came with it.

5th Stop: Little Tart Bakeshop

A French-inspired bakery, the Little Tart Bakeshop was certainly the icing on the cake that day. I took a peek inside and it was packed! And after having their bestselling Chocolate Chip Cookie and Apple Tart, I know understand why. The cookie was big and generous in chocolate chips, and had a soft ooey-gooey texture to it. The apple pie was also quite delightful – real apple slice bits that had the perfect sweetness.

All in all, I’d totally recommend doing the Grant Park Past & Future Food Walk Tour with Atlanta Food Walks. Joy had a light yet engaging energy, friendly, and was very knowledgeable. In fact, everyone in the group loved her so much that no one wanted to leave after the 5th stop! The food tastings were good representations of what Atlanta tastes like – Soulful and TASTY. See you at the next bite!

What is Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku?

Now before I get you excited and all, let’s get foodie terms straight. What exactly is an Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku? According to Wikipedia, Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning “how you like” or “what you like”, and yaki meaning “cooked”.

While Yakiniku literally means “grilled meat”. Sounds great, right? Now here’s greater news: both Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku are specialties of Dohtonbori Philippines!

And now, here’s our chance to do that Dohtonbori Eat All You Can Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku experience. For only Php 699.00 per person!

Our Review of the Dohtonbori Eat All You Can Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku Promo

My first Dohtonbori Philippines experience was when I dined with some friends at UP Town a few months back. We took a Tatami table which required us to take off our shoes and sit on the floor. While we found some of the items to be a little pricey, the quality and taste was well worth it. I’ve always enjoyed having my food cooked fresh in front of me (also called Teppanyaki) so dining in Dohtonbori was a real treat.

And lucky for me, I get to try Dohtonburi’s unique dining experience yet again with the Dohtonbori Eat All You Can Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku Promo. First things first, I loved the variety of the Okonomiyaki options – pork, beef, four cheese, and veggie. While I enjoyed all four choices, my favorites would have to be the beef and four cheese. Beef for it’s savory taste and cheese for the light and ooey-goeey flavor.

Craving for more meat? Go for Dohtonbori’s best-selling Yakinikus. Out of the three, our group seem to have enjoyed the pork best – tender, sweet and savory. Just make sure to request that their wait staff toast it a little bit, to shrink the fat and make the bacon-like strips a little crispier. The beef was also good, just a little dry, and best when eaten fresh off the grill. Perfect with a cup of steaming white rice!

EAYC Dining Tips

Since there’s a 2-hour limit on the Dohtonbori Philippines’ Eat All You Can Okonomiyaki and Yakiniku promo, make sure to get things going on for you fast. Which means, you need to order all their okonomiyaki and yakiniku as soon as you get your table (or at least your favorites)! Just make sure you order only what you can eat afterwards (no to food wastes). Not a fan of salty flavors? Feel free to instruct your attendant to go easy on the okonomiyaki sauce. Want to try your hand at the tepanyaki cooking experience? You can, just let your attendant know and be a chef for a day!

So what are you waiting for? Tag the person you would want to do this with! Follow Dohtonbori Philippines’ Facebook Page for more updates.

As Hawker Chan SM North EDSA opens its doors, Filipinos can look forward to the same mouth-watering dishes that have captivated people across the region. Thanks to Foodee Global Concepts, the industry maverick that has transformed the Filipino dining scene. And that’s because Foodee Global Concepts recognized Filipinos’ love and curiosity for food. And thus, responded by bringing to the country food offerings of top-rated restaurants from around the world. Such as Todd English Food Hall, Llao Llao, and Tim Ho Wan.

Bestsellers at Hawker Chan

I first tasted Hawker Chan in Taiwan in August with my family. And although everything was good, I was yet to be impressed. And impressed I was with all I gobbled up on in the soon-to-open Hawker Chan SM North EDSA. I guess the taste varies from one country to another, adjusting it according to the local taste palette of its diners.

Among the dishes that diners can look forward to at Hawker Chan SM North EDSA are its signature combination platter. It comes with their pork char siew, roasted pork, and lechon macau in one platter (Php 270.00). What makes this even more exciting is that these dishes are priced extremely pocket-friendly.

So affordable, you can enjoy the Soya Chicken Rice for just Php 128.00! I super loved everything on the combination platter, especially the juicy taste of the soya chicken and the sweet savory taste of the char siew. The noodles were also very tasty and paired well with the meats!

And with Christmas just right around the corner, diners can now also enjoy Hawker Chan’s mouthwatering roasts. Feast on a platter of their char siew, roasted pork, and one whole chicken for just Php 1,400.00! Already good for 6-10 pax, perfect to take home for family and friends.

Be one of the first 10 customers in line on December 3 and 4, and win a free Soya Chicken Rice per week for an entire year! Opens at 12 p.m. sharp, so make sure you line up much earlier. The next 20 diners will get the same free meal for six months. While the next 20 after that will get it for three months, and the next 50 will get a month’s supply. It doesn’t get as cluckin’ good like that!
