Papa John's Pizza place is a Winner

Better ingredients, better pizza. That's the claim of this American pizza place we had the pleasure of visiting last weekend.


Just a week after opening, we trooped to the newly-opened flagship branch in the Philippines of Papa John's Pizza conveniently located (for us at least, heehee) in the bustling Greenhills shopping district, along Annapolis Street.

It's imposing bi-level facade is what will greet customers. We were directed to the second floor for our family lunch. Since it was a double birthday celebration for hubby and younger brother, whose natal days are 2 days apart, we thought we'd try something new. Papa John's proved to be a winner!

Foodie Friday: Fine Filipino Cuisine at Romulo Café

First Friday of the month:  Food / Dining

I just love the ultra chic interior design and color palette of this corner restaurant called Romulo Café.  More importantly, the fine Filipino dishes they serve are worth raving about!

Semi-al fresco dining

Over a month ago, my sister-in-law celebrated her birthday and treated the family to this swanky dining establishment in the heart of Quezon City.  This was my first time here so I was looking forward to a wonderful meal especially after hearing a lot of good reviews since last year. We had the misfortune of being seated on that table up top, where the noon time sun hits our backs midway through our hearty lunch. Reservations were made a day earlier so if this is any indication, should you wish to dine here, better call days in advance to have indoor dining comfort.  It was a full house at Romulo Café that Sunday.  They serve authentic Filipino cuisine with a twist, none of those Asian fusion dishes here.
