I have a friend, let's just call him John to keep his anonymity since I'm sure that's what he'd…read morewant. John is a massive penny pincher. I mean, the guy couldn't be asked to frivolously spend money in order to save someone else's life. For him, food is food, if it was too expensive he'd back out. This is why Amici was for me one of the best recommendations that I ever had. He once took his girlfriend here. He talked to me about how good the food was. At first I was skeptical since most Italian restaurants had a tendency to be fancy. This one though was small and a bit unassuming, I gave the place a try cause, well, what the heck, why not right? It's a good thing that I listened to the guy because when I want authentic Italian food at a reasonable price and one of these places just happen to be there I end up getting a platte of pasta and a small pizza for myself. It's worth the price trust me give it a shot you won't regret it.

Love the casual feel of Project Pie! The industrial feel and open kitchen sets the mood for you to…read moreconstruct your own masterpiece. Skip the menu and build your own pizza. At Php 285, gets you a license to be an artisan- and they don't scrimp on choice ingredients. Nice array of cheese, protein and toppings- blue cheese to prosciutto to broccoli (!!!). Their staff would be happy to add more if you wish. Skip the dessert options and get a sundae next door instead. Nothing special or indulgent, too dry. But if you must, ask it to be served after you've finished your meal. Great place for a late night craving- one of the few restaurants open in Alabang till late.

A blessing from pizza heaven! The servers here are very very friendly and they'll assist you if it's you're a Project Pie newbie. They have lots of toppings that you can choose from making it hard to decide. So better watch out for a long queue of people who can't decide on their toppings. But still it's really fun and exciting to find out how your pizza will turn out. So far my pizza here has always been good. Is it because I always choose bacon as one of the toppings?

Figaro Coffee is one of the many coffee shops that, aside from serving good coffee, also serves…read moregood food. Their branch here at Festival Supermall is a bit small but service is quite fast. They also have free wifi but a little downside is that there few outlets inside the coffee shop, so better come here with a full battery on your laptop. I've noticed that other families come here to dine so I tried their pasta. Their Al Tonno pasta is very yummy and the serving is good for two. But one can finish it as well. Figaro Coffee has been around for quite some time now and what I like about them is that they continuously improve on their meny by adding new choices every now and then.

No, White Hat is not a reference to an actual white hat, instead it's a reference to the yogurt and…read morehow it's shape sort of resembles a white hat. I first heard about this place from a girl friend, I get most of my recommendations from women, and that I should give it a try. I wasn't much of a yogurt guy up until I actually gave this place a shot. I'm glad she told me about it. I blame White Hat for getting me hooked into yogurt. Ever since then, whenever I see a new yogurt place I haven't tried I end up giving it a shot in the hopes that it''s as good as white hat. It's not just yogurt. They also have waffles topped with yogurt. They give their yogurt a little bit of an extra special something to make it a little bit different. To this day, I still keep coming back for more when I have the time and the money to spare.

Thank you Lord for frozen yogurt. This has been my salvation when I had diabetes on my second…read morepregnancy. I wasn't allowed to eat ice cream, so they suggested this instead. Fortunately, I am quite fond of it than ice cream or a sundae. I like that it's just a bit sour and still sweet. One of my chosen fro-yo places is The White Hat. It's located at the heart of Alabang Town Center, so I can just grab a small cup and eat it while window shopping, or I can sit in their little store and take my sweet time devouring it there. It tastes fine plain, but it's even better with toppings and they have over 20 of those to choose from. Different kinds of fruits, grains, nuts and candies available for the picking. My favorite toppings would be peach slices, almond slivers and their homemade cheesecake bits. Sweet but still healthy.

The food was great. The menu was well-curated and presented (totally Instagram-worthy) and it would have been such a great meal if I weren't fighting my siblings for every portion of the BLT Calzone or the Chicken Ranch Pot Pie. It's not that what we ordered wasn't enough, it's just that the food came one at a time and we were starving. Most of the things on the menu was good enough for two, except maybe for the full slab of ribs that could feed at least three. That being said, I would definitely come back there ... Maybe with a date, so we can enjoy our conversation while waiting for the waiter to serve our Herbed Butter Steak or Spinach Lasagna and take our own sweet time devouring their famous Half-Baked Cookie.

Cara Mia and Amici were built by the same people, and this Cara Mia branch is right beside (or no,…read moreactually they're in the same space!) Amici, which is very convenient. You can get your cakes or gelato right after your tasty pasta treat! Talk about heaven. I was on a very special date when I went here the first time. My boyfriend introduced me to his family. Okay, enough about me. TMI. Now, if you haven't been here (and if there's a branch near you) I suggest you go ahead and try their gelato and cakes. Of course there are a lot of bakeries selling awesome cakes, but Cara Mia's is something else. I suggest you try their Sea Salted Caramel Crunch, it's made of light chiffon, mocha and some caramel crunch on top. It only costs Php 95 for a slice, and a whole cake costs Php 695. Not bad eh?

Hotel buffets are cutthroat competition. You're charging guests for thousands of Pesos, so…read morenaturally they'll be looking to make the most out of their money. Just giving them sashimi doesn't cut it anymore. It's something they can have at Yakimix or Sambokojin for half the price. You have to add something a bit more so that diners can rationalize for themselves that they got what they paid for. In Bellevue's Café d' Asie in Alabang, they serve what you'd normally see in hotel buffets - sashimi, rib-eye steak, and fresh shrimps. What I like that I don't see in other places though, is the Mongolian barbecue station. It's really not much, but I like it, especially since you can have as many shrimps as you can as opposed to going to a dedicated Mongolian buffet which doesn't even have shrimp. This, coupled with the fact that the staff of Bellevue are among the best, is enough to make someone like me from the other side of the Metro be willing to make the long trek there because I know I'm getting my money's worth.

Finally, the day has come for me to feast again at Bellevue Manila's Café d' Asie.My special moment…read morehere was spent with my colleagues as we celebrated our first team building. We went to Bellevue after work at around seven in the morning, most of the tables were still empty and the waiters were very accommodating in leading us to the large round table that we have previously reserved. The ambience was high -class and elegant, and the almost 50 foot chandelier hanging above gave a wonderful site and superior feel to the area. I usually go to Café d'Asie at dinner with my family, but today I experienced dining at breakfast time. When I'm in a buffet setting, I usually target the Japanese section and go for the sashimis, but sadly, (maybe because they were still serving breakfast), my usual favorite dishes like roast beefs, lechon, steaks, cakes and desserts were still not available. Nevertheless, I've discovered some great tasting breakfast dishes such as their Swiss Muesli; after thorough observation I noticed that it was a combination of oats, nuts, apples, yogurt, milk, raisins, walnuts, almonds, milk and honey- and wow, it's a perfect ten for all the oatmeals that I've eaten my life. They have breads and pastries, several imported cheeses, meats, hams, bacon, muffins, croisaants, imported yogurt,, spreads, ommeletes, danggits, crispy squids, Korean and Mongolian sections, a lot of fresh and vegetables. Previously, dining at Cafe d' Asie does not include drinks, but now I had a choice between mango juice, orange juice , iced tea or coffee. The hotel manager was kind enough to give us a huge corporate discount and gave the buffet rates at a very affordable price. Truly a bang for the buck.
