TERSP. Try Every Restaurant in Serendra Piazza. When the family moves to Manila at the end of the month, we’ll be living in the One Serendra condominium complex. The complex includes a mini-mall (“Piazza”) dedicated primarily to food and drink, with 21 restaurants. Whereas TERSP is fully conceived to be a family project once they’re here, I’m getting a head-start. In contrast to the negative net returns on similar projects conducted by myself in Ermite/Malate, I’m optimistic that The Fort — one of the country’s poshest neighborhoods, where food is taken seriously — won’t disappoint us.

I have mixed feeling about this one. Looks good in the finished product photo, but that first photo of the frozen product really scared me at first! How was it? I actually love just making my own stews from scratch, but I can tell this was a huge time saver.
this was not good, didn’t expect it to be, but just piqued to see “korean” stew in a filipino deli.
anyway, stews are my latest thing too… stay tuned!
