New stuff alert!!!! Try these dishes at one of my favorite bang-for-the-buck restaurants, @lugangcafe ❤ Super yummy Three Cup Squid, clams in steamed custard, this killer Napa cabbage with sliced pork, and finally a bowl of what I want to call "Sukigang" - the Taiwanese love child of sukiyaki and sinigang: thinly cut beef belly in a miso and preserved vegetable soup! All quite good! CHECK IT!

Fernando Afable of Foto Baryo
On the left is Fernando Afable of Tanauan, Batangas - founder of #FotoBaryo(on the right), a center for photography that he built up behind his brother's dental office. Once darkroom manager of the International Center For Photography in NYC, he collected all the equipment, books and gear they were going to dispose of and slowly shipped it home in the hopes that he could pass on his passion for it to those who can't afford it. It's my wish that all this really takes off. He's the kind of person I wish we had more of. 🎉 Hats off to you always, Fernando!
Ongpin Manosa
Ok I know - fail on the photo editing skills😭 -- but just had to share this truly yummy lomi and maki mi from #OngpinManosa in #Binondo.🍜 The place is a dive but man..so good!
Mango Shortcake
Random people often call me to ask for the number of that famous Yulo strawberry shortcake .. Well my Lola N makes her own (non-commercial, for-the-family) version of that PLUS remixes -- like this mango shortcake! Yun o. #YuloHomeCooking
Hole iN the Wall
Keeping it light with the @gardemangerph spin on ceviche with lato and suha!
Quinoa, shiitake and tofu spring rolls from @gardemangerph
And finally - Yes, Blé is still at @holeinthewallph -- and their felafel souvlakis rock!
Ogawa
Super famished last night from fasting - so I wanted to hit up something light but satisfying and I found THIS: yummy oden, one of my favorite things to eat ever! Available off a cart at @ogawa.manila in BGC! Woo! Eat with lots of mustard! 🤘🏼 #Ogawa
Oyster teppan at @ogawa.manila -- another winner!
7 kinds of sashimi - very generously cut by sushi master Ogawa himself. Great value for money!
Alpabasa
This is my friend Tisha Gonzalez-Cruz. She's developed a way of teaching Filipino called #Alpabasa .. Right now she's using her material to train teachers to use the system, one that will help public school students transition to English easily as well. I believe her work is essential for us and for the betterment of our future -- and she goes about it all quietly and without fanfare. She is quite the inspiration! This classroom, the first of many, was made into a bright and cheery space where the students can enjoy learning through a few humble pledges for her #AdoptATeacher program. Think about that when you make your next fund raising activity! 😁 It goes without saying - we need more people like her. CHECK IT. ❤🤘🏼🇵🇭
