    More than one way to cook Bangus…

    Posted on: Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Bangus is an interesting restaurant that promotes the bangus – in English the milkfish. This tasty freshwater fish is not the national fish of the Philippines for nothing. The milky taste that comes from the modest amounts of its fatty belly is absolutely heavenly. The meat is hard to prepare professionally since one has to [...]

    In BreadTalk, Cake Talks Too!

    Posted on: Friday, July 25th, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Ren, Kylie, Joanne and Fiel
    Bread Talk is well known for its Flosss and other delectable breads for being very tasty to the point of having long lines all day long! But have you ever tried their cakes? Usually displayed behind the glass, it seems that people rarely order them. So as we wanted to do [...]

    Okra Tempura

    Posted on: Monday, July 21st, 2008 in: Rare Recipes

    Okra Tempura
    The first of our series of Rare Recipes!
    I always love it when a certain way of preparing makes me love an ingredient I would usually hate. Okra is something that dissuades a lot of people – me included. But having this dish prepared at home by my beloved mother, successfully made me LOVE [...]

    The Unique Blend of Rory’s

    Posted on: Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Our expressions masking the extreme urges to stick our faces in the food
    An interesting challenge is to have a relatively unknown restaurant in a place that is already abundant with places to eat. The restaurant we went to is Rory’s in Katipunan Road – a place with a small entrance and with a very intimate [...]

    Fun with Hummus!

    Posted on: Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Greetings! I am RJ, Rarely Ordered’s Middle East correspondent. I was busy cursing Fiel via YM because their Italian review made me hungry when my cousin Sultan asked me if I wanted to grab a bite. We then went to some Indian-operated cafeteria somewhere in Sharjah(read: I have no sense of direction) and ordered [...]

    Authentic Italian Food is definitely Rarely Ordered!

    Posted on: Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Probably Italian cuisine is something that most of us have experienced one way or another. We are all familiar with the usual Italian course of pastas and pizzas, but have you ever wondered whether it was truly Italian? Pasta is of course, already standard with fast food joints, and we even have purely dedicated pizza [...]

    Fiel and Ren at the Pond’s Event

    Posted on: Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 in: Events

    Ren: “Ponds” and “Taste Asia”? Seems to be an uncanny combination, but the event itself seems to be pulled off quite nicely. The motif being pink, I was shivering at the pinkness, but they pulled it quite nicely with lights giving people good environment to mingle with other bloggers. With food by Taste Asia you [...]

    A Different Chinese Seafood Experience

    Posted on: Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 in: Food Reviews

    Chinese Seafood Restaurants are nothing new to those who frequent Binondo (Chinatown) and other places that have Chinese communities near them. Most being quite expensive but worth it – as only the freshest sea food is used. An established one is the Annapolis Seafood restaurant – probably mainly catering to the Chinese living nearby such [...]
