Several sources of intelligence have confirmed the existence of a Korean grill restaurant in the Fort Strip, where you eat all the meat you can within one hour of the first dish. My curiosity about this place was tempered by pictures of its wait staff dressed as, you guessed it, Korean pop stars, and of a huge stage with laser lights.
Chinese food consists of popular types of cuisine—Shanghainese, Cantonese, Peking, Szechuan and Hakka Chiu Chow.
Happiness in small doses. That’s what cupcakes evoke, at least to me. They bring back memories of summer baking with my sisters. On my brother’s first birthday, his older sisters decided to make cupcakes instead of a whole cake. His picture showed him not too happy with the decision. Not in the picture were his sisters coaxing him to smile; they were happy their creations came out rather well.
I am almost inclined to believe the joke that the Americans are responsible for barbarizing culture. In the early 1990s, an Italian restaurant from the United States opened in Greenbelt. With its dim lights and the rustic feel of the place, it was an immediate hit. Not to mention the fact that celebrities were drawn to the restaurant (I distinctly remember spotting Pops Fernandez and Dayanara Torres having dinner there).
I love a good chunk of steak or a nice thick, plump and juicy burger. I hardly eat meat, but when I do, I like to have only either prime-grade or a top-tier of choice beef from the US, or a thick cut of the superior, fully marbled Japanese Kobe or Matsusaka beef.

This place took some finding. Not even the Internet, which is usually quite good at these things, could throw up an address for me, much less a phone number. I heard about it from a work colleague who posted a mouth-watering picture of a steak with the cryptic caption: “Stockton Place, y’all.”
Thin-crust gongonzola cheese pizza, rolled and dipped in honey with fried garlic bits, may seem strange, but it works like eating pancake with maple syrup.
There’s this chap from Britain, Gordon Ramsay, a superchef who went on to create the fanciest and most expensive pizza in the world, loaded with caviar, lobster etc. And he made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. And there he reigned for some time.
