A Day In My Life: I went to Cebu for a day just to go food tripping
Okay, I went there to conduct a training for our field associates as part of my corporate job based in Makati. It was a full day training, however, my part ran for just two to three hours. Trainings for the rest of the day was all operational that I was not involved in anymore. I stayed there, listening and observing, for a couple more hours then I finally got bored and excused myself. I know they didn’t want a Compliance person there anyway. Charot. I’ve been doing the same job for six years already (as of writing) in different industries, so I am used to short travels and quick stays (or…

House of Lechon: carcar and beyond!
Aside from its historic and very beautiful tourist spots, Cebu is also famous for their lechon – a roasted suckling pig. Lechon is a well-known Filipino dish, but it actually originated in Spain and only adapted and loved in the Philippines back in its Hispanic days. In the old days, people use baby pigs for lechon. It’s only now that we see bigger pigs roasted in sticks. But in my opinion (and this may sound awkward), roasted baby pigs are yummier than adult pigs.

We literally opened the doors of La Vie Parisienne and had wine for coffee!
I went to Cebu for a quick training which I normally do ever since I started my corporate job. What’s not usual is me going on a food trip instead of visiting tourist spots like parks, museums, temples, churches, etc. This time, I spent my day just eating all the pagod away and it was just as fun as you could imagine. #SanaAll. After breakfast (at H Cafe in Harold’s and Tablea Chocolate Cafe), my friend and I busted La Vie exactly one minute before opening. We literally opened La Vie’s doors that morning. I mean, Dan literally had the key and opened the doors of La Vie. He’s not…

Fall deeper in love with pizzas and more at Ciao Pizzeria by the Sea in Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao!
The year’s finally ending and I know everybody’s already excited for the Christmas break. It’s just nice to chill and relax before the start of another year, right? And that super hayahay feeling of eating and drinking whatever you like while you’re in a heated jacuzzi, or beside a pretty pool, or by the sea. Okay, yeah, we need a break! Thankfully, just recently I have been invited to join a group of travel and lifestyle bloggers/vloggers to experience and enjoy Sundowners Bolinao. (Thanks again, Dodj!) We had a fun tour around the beautiful municipality of Bolinao and tried different yummy dishes from around the place and one of the…

My first Pares experience! And yes, it’s worth the one-hour travel!
I was in a food trip with a friend last week and just out of nowhere I just thought I haven’t had a bowl of pares yet, as in EVERRR. I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews of different versions of pares around the Metro, but I also am aware there is this one place where you can actually find the best pares in town. Back when I was in grade school or maybe high school (gosh, I feel old), I remember, along the main street near our house was a line of stalls serving goto, lugaw, mami, pares and I didn’t know what else. That place were very…
