Jipan, a Japanese Bakery

I learned about Jipan through a friend last year. She kept raving about their Walnut bread and since I love bread, I decided to check it out. And true to her word, the walnut bread is really good and healthy too. It's made of whole wheat and has bits and pieces of walnut. Their bread is always freshly baked and very filling too. They also have a wide variety of breads, from sandwiches to pastries and loaves and they also have a dining area for those craving for Japanese food.



The walnut bread - Php100.00

Painted Red & Red Kimono: The Best of Two Worlds

Out of all the restaurants in The Atrium, my kids and I decided to try Painted Red & Red Kimono. Why? Because it's actually 2 restaurants with 2 very different cuisines offering 2 separate menus. BUT just one dining area so we were able to satisfy our cravings. In my opinion, whoever thought of this is a genius. Painted Red serves modern American cuisine from salads, soups, oysters, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, ribs, steak, pork chops, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Red Kimono serves modern Japanese cuisine. My daughter wanted pizza and the other wanted tempura so we were all pleased and happy. Kudos to the owners of these 2 restaurants!



I love the concept of these two restos. Really modern, urban, and chic.


Classic Cheese Pizza Php195.00 from Painted Red

New Restaurants @ The Atrium, Megamall

SM Megamall, already known for being one of the more expansive and huge malls in Manila, has just added a more upscale area called The Atrium. It houses some of the more upscale brands such as All Flip Flops, CMG, Aldo, and the like. I was even more ecstatic to discover a whole new range of restaurants that I have yet to try. Because of my delight, I took pictures of all the restos on all the floors. Hope you guys enjoy the pics taken with my cellphone =)

Painted Red & Red Kimono (or as the signage says paintedred & redkimono) - We ate here today. It's actually one combined dining area but 2 restaurants that offer 2 totally different cuisines. I'll be featuring this on another blog when I have more time to write.
