After a hard day's work, I usually look for something nice to eat. Call it my reward, if you must. Fortunately I found one such restaurant which offers me "comfort" whenever I feel drained from work.

Introduced by colleagues from work, Shinjuku Ren is my "after-work" haven. It is located along Chino Roces (Pasong Tamo) in Makati and is practically "along the way" since I work just in Legaspi Village.

Imagine the taste of Asia in just one place!

That's how I felt when we ate at Makansutra located at the 2nd floor of Manila Ocean Park in Luneta, Manila.

Inspired by Singapore's hawkers, it reminded me the Lion City...
