Pricey food but so so taste.Even the ambiance is confused.I don't know what we were doing here honestly.I guess the guide was successful in luring us here. We arrived in Taal Batangas late (at least some of us) because we were caught in heavy traffic somewhere in Batangas City so it…
Christmas they say is the most commercialized holiday in the world. It has transcended culture and religion that people celebrate it for reasons other than religious. But we in the Philippines celebrate Christmas not just for commercial purposes.For us,it means more---- family-get-togethe…
A quick power nap and we were off to explore Binondo area.I looked at my list and realized that Ramada Manila Central is near New Po Heng Lumpia House which is famous for its ----you guessed it right-----Fresh Lumpia! Apparently,the same group we saw at Dong Bei Dumplings having a t…

"Without Inner Peace,Outer Peace is Impossible" . --Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Gone are the days when I look for honesty in my acquaintances.Sincerity,yes,to a point of being true to what you say,but not necessarily to be completely honest of what you feel.What I am saying is,yo…
I reckon the staff and crew of Calea Pastries and Coffee shop along Lacson Street Bacolod had to take Alaxan (pain reliever) daily the entire duration Masskara2012.The crowd in their shop was non-stop when we tried the place they must be very tired. Or maybe this flood of customers…
Many food and travel bloggers attended Masskara2012 and Eric,the festival authority in blogging organized the group prior to the event.They called for dinner together so me and my roommates joined in.We dinned at PALA-PALA along 18th.It took me,Ed and Ramil time to find taxi so the othe…
This is the BigMc of Siopao.The Siopao King of ROBERTO's ILOILO. It's a heavyweight not just in size but also in taste.I love siopao, suki ako ng mga convenience stores pagdating dyan. Although I have to admit,I haven't really given pursued searching for the best siopao in t…
It's November 1 (All Saint's Day in the Philippines )and I am working as if I have no deceased ancestors or relatives.I feel like a bad family member. On a lighter note,I wanna share with you the SPOOKY-licious dinner buffet we had at Hotel Elizabeth Baguio last weekend.It wa…
Breakfast in a resort setting is always a refreshing experience.This is something you don't achieve in an ordinary hotel setting although each experience is unique in itself.Weeks after our Alegre Beach Resort and Spa experience,I still remember eating breakfast in Ilang-Ilang R…
What's Cooking at Hotel Elizabeth Cebu? Here's a food photoblog of what they have in store for guests. The hotel's restaurant,Flora Cafe, could give a five-star accommodation a run for its money when it comes to food.I was impressed by their Bento-Bento-All-You-Can selection…

Our Penang sidetrip proved to be too tight on the schedule we weren't able to eat as much as we wanted.On our last last day there,we weren't even able to have lunch.We went back to the Inn after visiting The Goddess of Mercy Temple ,packed and boarded the taxi to the ferry termina…
My wife is into this habit of going to her co-workers house in the village.Whenever we have no out-of-town trips,she usually spends time with them doing endless chatting.They sing videoke,do movie marathons and stuff.It's a girl thing.And when girls gather,food abound.They loooove…
