I think Diho Square is setting a new level of world-class shopping plaza in Chinatown. In 2020, I…read morehave seen it transforming from yesteryear's design to tomorrowland. It was amazing to watch it grows. Back in January, I was here to gather information for my February UYE. Then Covid-19 restaurant lockdown started in March. The mall already started renovation project. It was kind of perfect timing while construction going on with businesses closed. The only inconvenience was to those customers going in and out of few restaurants during months of March to May. After restaurants allowed to reopen in late May, construction on the buildings was near completion. In June, store signs were installed. I was here to audit restaurants to share updates on Facebook of which ones open and if pickup, delivery and/or dine-in. Going to one business at a time, every month during the summer. Time consuming but fun to meet newbies to Diho Square. My final audit was in October. I was waiting to see if they are replacing the famous clock tower. I only learned about this imaginary structure from its social media in November. News media already been here with film crews. Yeah. I have to see it in action. Overall, Diho Square has brought many brand name restaurant chains to compete with Bellaire Food Street for another fun place to dine, shop and dessert.

We were simply looking for a coffee shop in the area when this little gem popped up on Google Maps,…read moreand I'm so glad we decided to stop in. We walked in and realized it was a Bolivian coffee shop, which made the experience feel even more special. You don't come across many Bolivian coffee shops in the area, if any, and you can immediately feel the love and pride that goes into everything here. The owner was incredibly sweet, and it's obvious that she puts so much thought, care, and heart into what she's created and the menu she's curated. I had the banana oat milk latte, and my husband had the Humanita latte, and both were phenomenal. The pan de queso was delicious, and all of the baked goods we tried were incredible. But honestly, one of my favorite parts was walking in and seeing what looked like the owner's grandmother or mother sitting at a table, enjoying hot coffee with little pieces of queso fresco and fresh bread. There is truly nothing that makes you feel more at home than seeing your abuelita having her morning cafecito with pan y queso. Such a warm, welcoming, special little place. We'll absolutely be coming back for coffee!

It's super warm and inviting inside, and the coffee was amazing! I got the Barrio latte, which has horchata in it. It was awesome! Will definitely be back to try that again. I also got beef and chicken empanadas that were outstanding! They had such great flavor in them. I shared them with my family, and everyone else loved them as well. Will definitely come again soon to try more of their drinks and authentic food, especially their salteña, which the owner was telling me about! 10/10!!

During our first visit here, we tried the bangus sisig, the long anise breakfast, lumpia, lumpia gulay, pancit, and pork bbq. All dishes were served fresh, all with the traditional flavors of authentic filipino cuisine. The service was top notch, and all staff were friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant for those wanting to experience a laid back filipino dining experience.

When you know what you want, go back to the checkout counter and order all your food. Staff will come with utensils and water. The food was very filling. I'm pretty sure we over ate. The food are more on the Sweet side and focus on pork meats. The drinks are behind the checkout counter and not on the menu. If you want condiments, it's by the checkout counter too. As you can tell, most of the stuff is kind of self-serve, which is normal for this kind of establishment. We came on a Sunday around 11 AM. It was a steady crowd. Tables and chairs are very clean. The light took a little bit to get used to. I think we picked the bad spot because the fan above us had a light above the fan so it kind of got stroby. The breakfast plate is garlic rice, one meat, some tomato slices, and two eggs. (The breakfast plate is served all day.) If you have a friend, get two breakfast plates and a street food (3 sticks of one type of meat only). And share that. It's very filling. The pandan dessert was a refreshing after dish but I think it would taste better cold. (I'll ask for some ice next time to put on top of it.) Parking is free and out front. There is a lot of space. This place is in a new looking plaza with plenty of shops ready to rent out.

Houston Restaurant Weeks strikes again!…read more I stopped by Kings Kitchen in Houston and tried their $25 four-course lunch menu, and baby, that is a DEAL! 1st Course: Chicken Egg Rolls 2nd Course: Brussels Sprouts 3rd Course: Chicken Fried Rice 4th Course: Mixed Fruit The chicken egg rolls were crispy and flavorful, and those Brussels sprouts were cooked just right with that sweet and spicy flavor. The chicken fried rice made for a filling entrée, and I finished everything off with the mixed fruit for something light and refreshing. Of course I had to have a cocktail! I went with a Paloma with a splash of strawberry , recommended by Ish, the bartender, and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for the recommendation, Ish! For $25 and four courses, you really can't beat the value. Houston Restaurant Weeks is definitely the perfect excuse to try somewhere new while supporting a great cause! Definitely worth checking out!

Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to sample it. I was trying to host a karaoke party here this week. My planning started in June. When I first met with the owner and the assistant in July, I was under the impression as there was no minimum charge, just order some food for the party and use the karaoke room for free. Because it was not written anywhere. I messaged the owner about the date and my plan on the attendance. It was quickly forgotten. I came back last week to nail down my details. Suddenly, there is a minimum $399 for the banquet of 6 people. Wow, my guests are not ultra rich. They are not here to eat the fancy Chinese banquet. I was kind of disgusted at that point. But there might be wiggle room. So, I asked to see the karaoke equipment. The owner took me to the room and the machine was taking a while to power on. The screen was only in Chinese. I asked for English, but I think he was not familiar with the machine. Then, his assistant came to rush me out because there were guests waiting for him to have lunch. I really don't like this half-ass service. I messaged the owner next day to withdraw my original plan to host my party there. Really. I don't know if I would ever come back. I would avoid attending events hosted at ACP Hotel all together.
