Food-Stars is now LTE Powered! ;p

Who knew that a small white paper bag was enough to send jitters down our spine? ;)

We're happy to announce that Food-Stars is now LTE powered! ;)

Yes Food-Stars Fans, we have taken the plunge.

 

Couldn't wait to break off the seal. 

Nestled in this white box was this palm-sized black device printed with crisscrossing lines of red, blue, yellow & white.

What's inside...

Food-Stars Goes to Tagaytay: Tootsie's Home-cooked Specialties

Needing a break from the hustle & bustle of Manila, we decided to go on a road trip. With a tank full of gas & snacks for the road, we piled in & headed down the road. 

With hours & miles tucked under our belts, we rolled down our windows for a whiff of the cool fresh air.

Sigh... A view like this was enough for us to forget our troubles. We could feel our stress rolling right off our shoulders ;)

Tootsie's Home-Cooked Specialties, J. Abad Santos cor. Aguinaldo Hi-Way  Tagaytay City

J suggested this place for lunch. Our taste buds were ready for the renown Filipino cuisine they had to offer. 

Rainy Day Ribs at Rue Bourbon, Salcedo Makati City

This was a night of ribs & beer. 

Rue Bourbon, Salcedo Village Makati

Hiding inside the streets of Makati was this quaint bar restaurant. Smaller than expected, the ground floor was a bit cramped for my liking. The evening crowd was of people who just got off from work & just wanted to relax, unwind before going home.

Bar area

Arrived at around 8pm and people were starting to trickle in. Soon enough, the place was packed to the rafters. With the music playing in the background & chatter from the other tables, we were ready to order.

Bubblies!

Drink for the night was beer. Hubby couldn't choose & requested samplers of each. The left one was apple, which left a bad taste in his mouth. Same goes with the Caramel. Both drink did smell as advertised but didn't have any flavor whatsoever. The winner of the night was cucumber.  Yes, they serve Cucumber Beer here and it got a thumbs up from him. ;P
