Here’s a little recap of 2014 with some of most enjoyable dining experiences. I was blessed to have been able to try so many new restaurants with some awesome dining companions. Hoping for an even better 2015.

TuanTuan Chinese Brasserie
3/F, SM MegaMall Fashion Hall Edsa cor. Julia Vargas Ave.,Ortigas, Mandaluyong City,
Metro Manila Contact No.: (02) 570-9011
The place to get your fix of authentic HK Milk Tea, Coffee or Yuanyang plus my favorite baked pork buns in Manila. Their halibut noodles soup offer plenty of combinations pared with an order of their honey pork spareribs. Service is a bit of a letdown though.

Shang Palace Weekend Buffet
2/F Makati Shangri-la Hotel Manila, Ayala Ave., cor Makati Ave., Makati City, Philippines Telephone Number: (632) 813-8888Shang Palace brings back dimsum like the old days with their special steam carts roving around the restaurant transporting baskets of treats.

Phat Pho Manila
Serendra Plaza, McKinley Parkway Fort Bonifacio Global City Taguig, Philippines Telephone No.: (632) 804-1646The Moment Group brings Phat Pho to Manila serving their tasting Vietnamese fare. The Pho might be the default option but the Com Chien (fried rice) is a wonderful surprise. I’m glad they replaced their bar stools with more comfortable seating and the crowd seems to agree.

I had two opposite experiences at Vask, one was super amazing whilst the other super bad! I still need to try Duck & Buvette though!
you should definitely try Duck and Buvette. Great value, we’ve been there almost 10 times with countless orders of the maple bacon demolished.
Gosh I’m missing out a LOT! Haven’t tried all of those except for Yoree =(
I’m worse as I haven’t tried anything off the list hehehe :)
just try if you get a chance.
don’t worry, I’ve got lots of must try on my restaurant list also, some of which you might have already eaten at.
