One of my favorite meals during weekdays at the office is Rice in a Box. It’s affordable and delicious. I work at McKinley Hills and it’s a good thing that there’s a Rice in a Box branch opposite the Venice Grand Canal Mall.

Picnic at Bustos Dam, Bulacan
We had a fun-filled shoot and picnic at the Bustos Dam in Bustos, Bulacan yesterday. Our breakfast+lunch (brunch) is very typical Pinoy.
Nayon Foodtographers’ Club
Everyone’s into food photography these days. Whether it’s meal at home or at a restaurant, we love to take pictures of food. On Instagram, it’s one of the most uploaded pictures. I’ll probably start the Nayon Foodtographers’ Club – the food photography of Nayon Photographers’ Club.
Or probably, I would name it Pinoy Foodtographers. Here’s the last meal we shared at our recent Nayon meeting. It’s one of my favorites – Hungarian sausages and potato salad by Ms Betty.

More Food at the Family Day 2016
Here are more pictures of the foods at our annual Family Day 2016 celebration in Libis, Quezon City. Too bad our company only gave P150 food stub and I wasn’t able to taste all the food. I enjoyed taking pictures of the food anyway.
I gave my P150 food stub to the booth that served Persian-style ground beef dish. It’s very tasty!
This is what I ate at the Family Day 2016 event. I love their version of beef “giniling” and gave it a Persian taste.

Calle Preciousa, Pasig City
I was surprised the other day when I learned that there is a seafood (dampa) restaurant in the heart of Pasig City – Calle Preciousa. It’s located in Barangay Sagad near the Meralco Building in downtown Pasig City. I never noticed it until yesterday.
So Calle Preciousa is seafood dampa palutuan. They have an eat-all-you-can lunch at P248 and dinner at P298. I will definitely try it one of these days.

Inutak and Nescafe
Thank you very much Atty Majie for inviting us to the annual Pateros Town Fiesta in honor of Santa Martha. We’ve enjoyed the lunch and liked the meryenda also. We enjoyed the game of Bingo and the small talk. We’re looking forward to Pateros Fiesta 2017.
Café Maria Jerica
So my friend introduced me to one of the best Italian restaurant around – Café Maria Jerica. It’s located at #35 14th Avenue, Barangay Socorro, Cubao, Quezon City. It’s my 2nd time to dine at this restaurant that was introduced by my good friend Roman.
The first time we ate here, we tried their pizza and Baked Macaroni. It’s really cheesy, delicious and affordable. This time, we tried their regular burger and spaghetti. I can’t wait to visit them again! I’ve fallen in love with their food.

First Time at Ma Mon Luk
It was Chinese New Year yesterday and it’s a special Holiday. My friend Gilbert invited me to shoot the festivities along Ongpin Street in Binondo (district in Manila). I came along with a 50 mm lens, since last year I took pictures of it using my kit lens 18-55mm.
Before heading for Ongpin Street, we passed by R Ma Mon Luk restaurant – I believe it’s the oldest mami and siopao house in Manila. This is my first time to dine at this famous restaurant. I had beef mami while Gilbert had the special mami (I believe it is pork).
The experience was like travelling back in time – since the ambiance of the restaurant looks exactly like in the old movies. The flooring is not tiles (its pebbles), it’s not air-conditioned, the furniture are made of wood, it has high ceiling with fans and even the containers for the condiments are “retro”.
The beef mami is really delicious, although a bit pricey for me (P130) considering the size of the bowl. I’ll probably try the siopao next time.

Ma Mon Luk still uses the traditional wooden steamers instead of the popular aluminum.
The full name of the restaurant is R. Ma Mon Luk. It’s located a few meters away from Quiapo Church in Manila.
