Li Li's Dim Sum Buffet at Hyatt Hotel & Casino Manila

There are countless Chinese restaurants in Manila including those housed in hotels but only few of them offers an eat-all-you-can spread well worth one's hard earned money. So, when presented with a Dim Sum Buffet for a reasonable price just like what Li Li Restaurant at Hyatt Hotel and Casino in Manila is currently offering, any dim sum loving person in their right mind must grab the chance to indulge.

For the price of Php888, you may stuff yourselves silly with the best dim sum offerings you could ever find here in Manila. Note however that this promo does not include drinks but when you avail of this dim sum buffet at Li Li only up until the month of June, you'll get a serving of their to-die-for Guava Iced Tea worth Php300 for FREE, provided that you will mention that you have read this feature post at YedyLicious.Com website. Sweet, yeah? so, let's get rolling.

Weeks ago I got a chance to visit Li Li at Hyatt Hotel and Casino Manila to try their Dim Sum Buffet promo. I have tried several dim sum buffets in the past and I would have to say that Li Li is definitely one of those which impressed me to the core.

Kebab Turki Baba Rafi in Makati City

Tucked in the vicinity of Dela Rosa 1 Car Park at Makati City is Kebab Turki Baba Rafi that dishes out honest to goodness impressive kebab fares and then some. This unassuming food nook tagged as the biggest kebab franchise in the world started out in Indonesia way back in 2003 and has further branched out to Malaysia and The Philippines. 

The fact that it currently holds 1000+ outlets and still counting with the goal of reaching other Asian markets, you would know from the get go that Kebab Turki is ready to compete with some of the best shawarma and kebab places in Manila.

It was only recently that I had a chance to try out a great shawarma place that shook me to the core in a very nice way. Having been introduced to Kebab Turki Baba Rafi upon visiting their branch in Makati City steeled my resolve that there are abundant foodie highlights for this year.

Suzu Kin Japanese Restaurant along EDSA Quezon City, Dishing Out Affordable Japanese Cuisine in Manila

I may be one of those lazy kids out there for checking out just recently an affordable Japanese Restaurant in Manila which has been considered a tradition since 1981. I apologize, because my affinity for Japanese food wasn't really given much thought of until I started getting serious with my chopsticks blog.  Owing to the fact that I have been receiving emails from readers asking for my recommendations on this league, I must say that there couldn't be more apt time to be introduced to Suzu Kin Japanese Restaurant.

While I have few favorite Japanese restaurants which I can easily recommend, most of them calls for a hefty wallet that can stare back at your appetite eye to eye without flinching.  Now, knowing that Japanese gastronomical experience comes with price, the words affordable and Japanese cuisine cannot be usually found in one sentence. Well, at least in my opinion.

Sure there are wallet friendly Japanese fares we can find in every corner there is, but let us be realistic here. We do not want to deal with run-of-the-mill Japanese food, truth be told. We want something that is so good, we wouldn't mind dishing out the proverbial Domo Arigato even with bad accent.

On Meeting Sabrina Artadi of The Asian Food Channel's Sabrina's Kitchen

First, I fell in love with her lovely home reminiscent of cool abode you can find somewhere in Bali, Indonesia. Then, I was smitten by her small, albeit functional kitchen where all the beautiful madness transpires.  After the visual feast of the aesthetics, it was Sabrina Artadi’s bohemian personality that reflected in all the dishes she prepared that stuck with me and still lingers by the time I am writing this piece.

How can you not be fascinated by someone who has an upcoming cooking show at the Asian Food Channel and yet boldly declares that “Ooops” is the operative word in her kitchen?  Sabrina Artadi of Sabrina’s Kitchen which will be shown on the 19th of April at the Asian Food Channel believes that much like in real life, it is okay to commit mistakes in the kitchen. We are human after all.

For someone who doesn’t have a formal culinary background, Sabrina’s flair for creating palatable dishes proved to be impressive.  Her belief that bohemian and rustic approach to cooking which for her commensurate to not to perfect nor styled works perfectly well.  It is not everyday that you get the chance to meet a non-chef that can pull off a delightful menu that echoes an endearing personality meant to be celebrated.

Quick Grub at Wee Nam Kee Philippines, Serendra The Fort, Bonifacio Global City

My mom recently tagged me along to Wee Nam Kee in Serendra, Fort Bonifacio Global City for a quick grub before heading to a scheduled business meeting with client. We are up for a big dinner that day but the thought of Hainanese Chicken was too enticing to ignore, so I gave in.

As a Singaporean restaurant in Manila, Wee Nam Kee is known for their Hainanese Chicken and the Hainanese Rice. I know a lot of foodie friends who raved about this restaurant so even if I already have few favorites at hand, I gave Wee Nam Kee a shot.

Their branch at Serendra is decent enough in terms of space but it can get really jam packed during lunch time which is a good thing because it clearly translate that what they are offering is something good. I am not sure if it's the same case during dinner time.
