Adjacent to Uncle Cheffy at the Venice Piazza at McKinley is a restaurant called Kuse, which celebrates the rich Filipino culinary culture by preparing the most popular and well-loved Filipino dishes originating from various regions in the country. Dining at Kuse is like making a stopover to different parts of the Philippines as you feast on …
I recently had my birthday dinner with my family at Uncle Cheffy in Megamall (read post here) but even before that, I have been to Uncle Cheffy about two or three times. It’s one of those restaurants that I keep coming back to because of their superb food and value for money. If you’ve never been …
My sister Alexa and I had our birthday last week so my mom and I were thinking of where to have dinner to celebrate our special day. After coming up with a list of restaurants, I remembered that I recently received some Uncle Cheffy gift certificates after I attended an event. Because we didn’t want to …

Somehow, more slashes always made me feel more accomplished. The more …
It’s the New Year, and that only means it’s time to apply that saying “out with the old, in with the new.” The last few days of my 2013 were spent on spring cleaning and parting ways with outfits and shoes that: a) I haven’t used in a long time, or b) I will probably …
