The set included a bowl of rice for each person, a tray of veges consisting of Napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, bokchoy, squash, corn and carrots. There are several choices of broth. We selected the spicy miso and seaweed broth. We were also served a tray of thinly sliced beef, a soy sauce based dip with which to dip the beef and a peanut based dip. I had a cold and this food was so comforting and soothing. The miso broth was spicy and flavorful. The shrimp tempura was so tender and crispy at the same time. The chicken karaage was also crispy and yummy. Will definitely be back.

There was maybe a good 100 people when we arrived 5 min prior to them opening. We were placed in a nice glass enclosed VIP room for the 9 of us. And it was neat that each place setting had its own burner and hotpot so that you could individually cook your own stuff. The selections here are huge!!! They had rows and rows of food. From cooked food to uncooked food. Including seafood, beef, chicken, pork. They even had several types of noodles you can add into your hotpot from udon, to black squid ink pasta to other types. For goodness sakes they had about 4 different broth bases to use as ur liquid from fish stock, beef stock, chicken stock and regular hot water. The had an entire wall to ceiling area of just vegetables to add to your hotpot as well. Desserts they had a plethora of them from Korean style to hong Kong style to halo halo to ice creams and many other deserts. They had about 10 different non alcoholic juices and ice teas to try from which were all delicious. They also had about 5 different beers UNLIMITED beers to choose from and even a beer on tap!!!! They even had a tepenyaki type area to cook your foods as well as a sauce station with about 15 different dry seasonings and liquid sauces. Just incredible. Service tho was slow. There was a lot of people working so i dont know why it was slow. From topping off our broths to clearing our dishes. We had dishes piling up clear to the ceiling before they would be removed. Just not acceptable. Price wise to its the most expensive ive seen yet for an all you can eat in the manila area at 888 pesos. The amounts of food justifies the steep price. But i was just expecting quicker service. A good place to bring someone too if they r new to manila. For a quick second i was going to say that this place might rival the hotpot of Taiwan. But still the seafood in Taiwan is still a lot fresher and of better quality.

This is a one of a kind store in the metro that is a must-visit for any baking and desserts enthusiast. You have a cupcake business? Look no more for hard-to-find baking tools. You wanna learn how to make desserts or are you planning on making them for fun? All the more reason to go here! More than that though, this place holds a lot of memories for me and my high school friends. We were just adolescent students wanting to form an all-girl band to take over the school's very own "music scene" back then, and we didn't have any money to buy new instruments and amplifiers. So what did we do? Make our very profitable business of selling chocolates to our classmates. Yep, it worked. After a year of melting, molding, and packing chocolates with all the stuff we purchased from this place, we were able to buy an electric guitar and amplifier, 1 bass and amplifier and a full set of drums. It has been an amazing ride after that, all because of a one-stop shop. It was one high school memory I will always cherish.

CASTLE. It made such an impression on my when I was younger that over the years, I never forgot where it was or how to get there. Chocolate Lover has everything you need for baking. They have packaging like cupcake molds and cups, sticks, plastic wrapping and boxes of different sizes and shapes. They have ingredients you can't find in your usual grocery store such as different brands of whipping cream, artificial flavoring, different kinds of yeast, sprinkles, marshmallows, just everything you can think of basically. Of course they have a selection of baking chocolates and cheaper chocolate compounds - dark, milk and white chocolate compounds made locally or in Indonesia (Tulip brand). Aside from ingredients and supplies, they also offer baking lessons from beginner to intermediate. Watch out for this especially during the summer. I've personally never tried their lessons but I've generally heard good things.

Back then, if you've been living in Manila for most of your life, the words "food" and "court" in the same sentence never really sounded appetizing. Enter Hole in the Wall. I've been here a few times already, but stepping inside its huge hip maze of interiors never ceases to excite me. I'm not sure if it's the thrill of choosing what meal to try next or just the nice aesthetic of literally everything, that excites me more. On my first visit, I made sure to first try the super popular fried chicken from Bad Bird. As a big fan Southern-style fried chicken, I wasn't disappointed. The crispy skin had a yummy seasoning that's new to the palette, very different compared to my other favorites, such as the Chickenjoy from Jollibee and the Pan Fried Chicken from Pancake House. And there's something about their side dishes that just completes the whole meal. The corn on the cob with bonito flakes, sweet and umami flavors melting in your mouth, was to die for. The coleslaw provided a nice acidic break from the saltiness of the chicken. The meal was a fun experience itself. Just the other day, I tried the Pastrami on Rye from Mr. Delicious and it was monstrous--just plain impressive in terms of size. I didn't even attempt to bite on the entire stack, using my fork and knife like a pretentious chick on a first date instead. Each bite off the monster-wich was packed with so many different flavors, though the pastrami still easily emerges as the hero of the dish. And let's not get started on the sweet potato chips. I'm not a big sweet potato-lover, but damn, the portion was more than satisfying. If there's anything I'd like modified, I just wish there was a bit more of the veggie pickles to cut through all the meat and fat. For now, I'll end this review right here. If it isn't yet so obvious, I'll probably be back here in no time to try a different food stall or two.

The highlight is Einstein's saying: "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new". This statement is not there by chance. It seems to fits perfectly to the restaurant's concept: customizing your pizza with as many toppings as you want! In other words: free-style pizza! Yay! Courage! Don't be afraid of getting a terrible combination. Maybe you make a mistake, maybe you discover the brilliant chef hidden inside you. The idea isn't really original, we know, but it works! I liked the pizza and also the salad I've created. There's nothing to complain about the place, except the music. It was so loud that I couldn't concentrate on the conversation I was having with my husband. And the noise level wasn't the only problem. The music they chose was like a workout motivation soundtrack...something that I really hate to hear anywhere else than in a fitness center.

Then the lady helping me mentioned that I can pick one of the made order pizzas and add some toppings on it. So I ordered number 7 (prosciutto, cheese and caramelized onions) and added some chicken, feta cheese, bacon, jalapeño and A LOT of garlic. It was AMAZING. Now I know that I will definitely go back to Project Pie to try out their other pizzas. One of my table mates, ordered the S'mores Pizza. Just the smell of it was terrific.
