Pinac Heirloom Capampangan Cuisine at UP Town Center

Amazingly mouth-watering Capampangan dishes with Pinac at UP Town Center

Our friend invited us to head over to UP Town Center for a dinner get together, since I don't frequent that side of the metro (I'm from Ongpin, quite far ey..), I said sure!  I have heard so many great restaurants that opened in UP Town Center, and it's about time we take that visit.  Our destination for the night Pinac at UP Town Center.



A good 45-minute drive from Manila, considering it's not traffic, but if you come from Quezon City, it would just be a breeze to get there, considering there's no major traffic situation there as well.  It is situated in UP Town Center, along Katipunan Avenue, in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, just a stone's throw away from Miriam and Ateneo, and of course U.P.

Pinac features Capampangan cuisine with a twist, as they say Pampanga is known as the culinary capital of the Philippines, though the Ilocanos and Bicolanos may disagree, haha but true to say, much of our chefs in the metro, trace their roots from Pampanga.  With such classics like sisig, pancit luglug, tocino and more, you would get to experience true Capampangan flavor with a bite at Pinac.

Pullover and delight at Diamond Hotel

My Angel's Pizza Got Cheesy with New Creamy Garlic & 5 Cheese Pizza

Munchtown is my dream wonderland

Oh I just love the movies, just thinking about the much anticipated movies in line for the rest of the year and of course next year's line-up gives me goosebumps, but every time I go out to see a movie, it just depresses me to see the same old flavored popcorn, boring sodas and tasteless hotdogs being sold at the food stand, oh it just spoils the fun in watching movies, wouldn't you agree??

But recently I was able to watch a movie at the new Promenade in Greenhills, and what caught my eye was this gourmet place just beside the movie entrance, it's Munchtown!  Hmmm, looks interesting, let us take a look a what they have to offer.
