Personally, poking inside foreign food stores is something I loosely consider a "fun past-time",…read moreeven if most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm looking at. I happened to pass by this tiny Indian grocer in Paseo de Magallanes called Incredible India Food Depot, and it is packed floor to ceiling with food--spices, canned vegetables, curious-looking sugary Indian snacks, several types of dals and legumes, chutneys and preserves, and even Maggi's Indian version of instant noodles called "Multi Grainz" which claims to be healthier (it was a bit bland, if you're wondering, but definitely tastes of Indian spices). They also have ready to eat and frozen samosas, breads, and spring rolls, if you want a quick Indian food fix. I usually frequent Indian grocers for raw ingredients because they're usually more affordable than some large supermarkets, AND you can buy some of these in bulk. Since I'm vegan, some of us need a constant supply of chickpea flour (called besan, which can be purchased here really cheap in a hefty-sized bag), affordable TVP (textured vegetable protein), dals, spices, and the fairy dust of vegan cuisine, kala namak, or black Indian salt that has a distinct, egg-y flavor.

Holy shit. WANG MART. THE PLACE IS CALLED WANG MART. I know I shouldn't laugh, but seriously. WANG…read moreMART. Oh my God. Can you believe it oh my god it's called wang mart this is awesome. Think about it for a second. What's the first thing you buy when you go to Korean grocery stores? ICE CREAM POPSICLES. I'll just leave it at that. Let's put my 15 year-old wang jokes aside (okay, I'm still gonna make a few more so be prepared) So I passed by this place on my way home from work a few days ago. It was a hella hot day, and I just came from commuting, so I thought "Why not get some Melona?" So yeah, I ended up getting Melona, which tasted great as usual. However, I decided to look around the place for a little while so I could stare at signs I didn't understand. So they literally have Korean everything. And by everything, I mean seriously goddamn everything. Korean liquor, Korean coffee, Korean noodles, Korean chips, Korean ketchup, Korean cold cuts... basically, it's like they ripped a grocery straight from Korea and brought it here. The only things missing were terrifyingly white Korean pop stars and I would've thought I was in Korea. Seriously, if you're thinking of cooking anything Korean or with Korean flavors, I promise that the assortment of stuff here will be more than enough. If you need some delicious Korean satisfaction, Wang Mart is definitely the place for you. Get ready for a whirlwind of delicious Korean flavor in your mouth!

"Wang Mart? Does that mean you can buy wangs in there?"…read more Aside from the fact that Wang Mart has the uncanny ability to bring out my inner 12 year-old boy alter-ego, it's a great and well-stocked Korean grocery that's open late - specifically until 2AM (perfect for those of you stumbling out of Handlebar or H&J and looking for cheap snacks to sober up after a night of hard partying). The high ceilings and large space ensure that this grocery carries almost all the basic Korean goods you need. From fresh kimchi, frozen meat cut, spices, ice cream, junk food and other assorted groceries, Wang Mart is one of my favorite Korean groceries in the metro. The best is that they always have freshly-made kimbap at the counter, which, to me, is the ultimate plus when it comes to visiting Korean groceries!

This branch of Robinsons' Supermarket is adjacent to Robinson's Magnolia's foodcourt. The food in…read morethe foodcourt is relatively cheap to moderately priced. But, here's a tip. If you actually want to spend less on food, there are SO MUCH options at the food kiosks outside of Robinson's Supermarket. Even for vegetarians and vegans! I was really intrigued by this beautiful fresh lumpia being sold at one of the kiosks. And, it's not at all your usual Chinese-style fresh lumpia with the shredded carrots and garlicky sauce, but rather imagine a fresh and fruity veggie salad nicely wrapped in a fresh lumpia wrapper. It was actually a very pretty sight that you wouldn't expect that it was from a humble food kiosk. It looked AND tasted expensive--it had grapes, mangoes, nuts... YUM. And it was what like... Php 60? They also have a lot of other vegetable and fruit options here. There's a salad bar (Robinson's Supermarkets have the best ones among supermarkets, in my opinion), a Mongolian rice box station with a great selection of veggies (they have mushrooms!), fresh fruit juices, the usual turon, kamote, kakanin snacks, and cheap Pinoy ulam (they had munggo when I was there). You can just buy food here and eat it at the food court as well. Easy peasy!

This is almost my go-to grocery now since I live so close to it. It's a small one compared to the…read moreones I've gotten used to (Shopwise and SM Cubao), but it does the job okay. They still have a great amount of room, which is what Magnolia is know for pretty much, and have a nice selection of grocery items, especially upscale classy stuff like confectionery and bath products. I love that they have an aisle just full of local products and right next to that is a rack of imported goods--it's funny and it also makes you want to buy stuff! I also like that even at the less populated corner of the grocery near check-out, it doesn't feel sad or dismal, even though the counters can fill up. They have a lot of other stalls of interest right at the grocery too, like their pharmacy, liquor stands, a Pick & Mix, a flower booth, and the more important salad and fruit bar!

If you live or work in Salcedo Village, the best place to get your fix of Melona Ice Cream, Maxim Coffee, or gochujang (hot pepper paste) is Kang's Korean Grocery. Their main store is in Valero Street, but they have opened a smaller branch along Bautista Street. Both stores are within Salcedo Village. Kang's has a wide selection of Korean food and other products. Whenever I crave for kimchi or gochujang, their Valero shop has become my go-to place. Apart from Korean products and goodies, Kang's also sells fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat products. In fact, I'd also pop up in their store during emergencies when my own pantry has ran out of garlic, tomato, onions and other essential cooking ingredients. I choose this grocery even if there are so many 24-hour convenience stores and a Rustan's Supermarket in the vicinity. The reason: Kang's has that unsophisticated atmosphere expected in a neighborhood store. You can even chat with the friendly owners if they happen to be present. Talk about a sari-sari store ambiance in Makati CBD!

Whenever I finish eating at Gino's, I always take a stroll back to my car which I intentionally…read morepark away so that I can digest all the pizza, pasta, and Burrata I have consumed. This quick stroll, I always manage to find a dessert excuse to top off my indulgent meal. I like going in to Kang's Korean grocery to find myself some delicious Melona or funny looking red bean ice cream. There are also other snacks you can horde or give to friends so its always a good idea to swing by this small yet so convenient mini grocery store. The staff are usually nice but sometimes can't be bothered to help out. They also sell some fresh produce, bottled drinks, noodle cups, and many other curious things worth experimenting and trying out. Usually I would just stick to one or two Korean ice cream treats but more often than not, I am with enabler friends who also like to buy different things. Prices are moderate and well-worth the taste bud adventure!

Tucked away off the busy Makati ave, I found this place looking for a Mexican restaurant in Manila…read more I brought a first date to this location. We shared a carafe of margaritas and calamari. We returned a couple weeks later and enjoyed some barbacoa tacos, chicken quesadillas and more calamari. The server was very sweet and remembered us from the first time. The food is delicious, everything we ordered was fresh, seasoned with cilantro and onions and various sides from hot sauce to aioli. We sat at the lounge area they have near the front of the restaurant. Definitely would go again. If you're looking for Mexican style cuisine in Makati stop by!

Walking into A'Toda Madre is always a breath of fresh, tequila-tinged air!…read more My wife and I love this classy little tequila restobar located in Makati's funky, neon-glowing Poblacion district. We are always promptly greeted with a warm and enthusiastic smile. Although we know the menu well, the servers always tell us if there's a special/promo going on (there usually is) and we go from there. A'Toda Madre has, without a doubt, the best selection of tequilas and mezcal that can be found in the Philippines. Every time we go, they have a new varietal that they encourage us to try. And their margaritas are dangerously delicious. They go down all too easily (and quickly)! The food is authentic Mexican that would make any Mexican native proud. The street tacos are the best we've had (outside of Mexico) and they pair perfectly with a cold cerveza or a tequila old-fashioned. Their menu features a variety of traditional Mexican dishes and an entire page of unique, specialty margaritas and cocktails. Btw their head bartender Cherrie is brilliant when preparing any drink you may request. In short, if you find your self in Makati, especially the Poblacion area, stop by A'Toda Madre. It's consistently a five-star experience! Oh, and they also usually have great live music on the weekends - another big plus!

I'm Mart is a different store than I'm Mart II on Don Juico…read more This is the biggest Korean grocery store in Korea Town. It's walking distance from the corner of Don Juico and Fil-Am Friendship Hwy. There are a few parking spaces in the front and the guard can help you maneuver in and out of them: the street traffic can be busy. The fruits and veggies are better here than Puregold. Some of the items don't have price tags on them or on the shelf, so you'll need to use their price check scanner at the back. You'll find me here only IF I'm in the immediate area AND I am in the mood to pick up some seaweed snacks, frozen dumplings or specialty Korean items I need for a recipe. I would much rather go to the daughter store (I'm Mart II) on Don Juico near Puregold, because it's newer, cleaner and staff are friendlier.

This is not the same as Kim's Sing Sing Mart on the next block…read more Sing Sing Himart is not that big, but they do know how to make the most of their space. It's bright, clean, well stocked, organized, and with several parking spaces out front; the best part is that it's open 24/7. I can find many of my favorite items here: Gardenia bread, Melona ice cream, yogurt drinks, seaweed snacks, and frozen dumplings at cheap prices. Their produce looks fresh and their meat section doesn't smell. Staff are helpful but don't look too happy. In the back left corner there is a decent size household section. New arrivals and best selling items are marked with signs COOL! There are two working price scanners. Many cashier lines are open and there's no waiting during the daytime on weekdays. This is my favorite Korean Grocery Store in Korea Town.

It is surprising how ignorant I am about Filipino Muslim/Moro food and culture despite having loads…read moreof friends who hail from the colorful and beautiful region of Muslim Mindanao. I have heard many stories about the rich culture down there, but I haven't gone there so I couldn't get a visual of what it looks like. Thankfully, halal food, especially Maranao regional cuisine is prevalent here in Metro Manila because of the large Maranao population in certain districts in the metro. I have had the privilege of sampling the best of Maranao cuisine at Mofara's, which is a small hole in the wall near Quiapo's Golden Mosque. A quick word about Maranao cuisine: the people of Lanao are resourceful freshwater fishermen, and most of their diet is fish and seafood, but they also have great beef dishes such as the Indonesian-inspired randang (rendang). Mofara's looks like your typical carinderia, but it is always spotless. There are no flies buzzing around, and dishes are cleared away immediately after a table is vacated. If you have a taste for fiery curries and spicy food, Maranao food should be next on your bucket list. Order Mofara's randang and be prepared to down cupfuls of ice water. I like spicy food but nothing prepared me for the heat of their randang, which was thick and very rich, making it a dangerously viscous vehicle for the spice, with the biting piquancy of the meat lingering like napalm in your throat. It's a good and refreshing shock to your system that gets the blood pumping. You can cool down with their herbal tilapya curry, which is also creamy but not as rich. The chicken papar, a Maranao specialty mustn't be missed. The tender chicken cooked in thick coconut milk and coconut flakes just hits the right buttons for me.

This branch is in a really convenient location and is maintained well. The people who work here are also super nice! I bought my birthday cake (the Purple Carousel chocolate cake) here, and they gave me an extra bag of sweets! My favorites are their: *Lemon bars - really great lemon flavor and have a tart, refreshing sweetness *Chocolate revel bars - probably the best I've had *Chocolate Campfire cake - very rich, but in this amazing way where you don't get tired of eating it! I've also had their: *Purple Carousel chocolate cake - classic chocolate cake with these chocolate wafers on top *Mini Pecan Pie - not the consistency I prefer in a pecan pie but the flavor was still very good *Mini Chocnut Pie - light, could use a stronger chocnut flavor, I really liked the crust though *Cookies - I love cookies so I usually get 1 or 2 with whatever else I'm buying that day, theirs are crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside *Quiche Tinapa - Liked this a lot and just ate mine chilled, but I think it would be better to warm it a little at home
