My Family and I love Buon Giorno! The servings are generous without being excessively hefty. Everything is cooked after you order, and their herbs are rich and fresh. The tomatoes are luscious and they don't taste like the can. Buon Giorno has become a very successful pit stop favored by a lot of travelers.... it is the only restaurant in that plaza that always has a waiting line of hungry customers waiting to get a their seat.

Tagaytay City, Pamana Restaurant along Aguinaldo Highway is owned by Happy Ongpauco of the Barrio Fiesta Chain...a legacy of Filipino cuisine passed on thru generations. It was my first time to check out this restaurant and I was not disappointed. The food was good and the price was very reasonable versus the quality and quantity each dish.

I love Italian food and this was going to be my third time going back to this restaurant. Everytime I am in Tagaytay I make sure... I drop by. The last time I was here was when Una was barely 2 months old.

Seryna at the entrance of Little Tokyo Makati is our top japanese restaurant in Manila!Why??? here are just some of the obvious reasons why i am so convinced about this 'homise'.The food is "top quality"! never mind the presentation (which is also very commendable by the way) just take note of the "choice" cuts used for each element of the sashimi mix.

Eventually, he discarded 1 whole slab, which to me looked perfectly fine. And then was astounded as he started cutting the second slab... he paused, then discarded it as well! whoa! So on to the third and final slab.. which the sushi chef eventually cut into his standards of tuna sashimi was finally served to various customers.
