El Mundo Cafe: a new place for your “me time”
Imagine your life as a big, colorful mosaic and “me time” is the dazzling little gem that brings it all together. It’s that little window when you hot pause from life’s demands, you dive into your favorite book (or just some random read), binge that series guilt-free, or simply savor a quit cup of coffee (or in my case, with a plate or two of yummy meals). And sometimes, the literal place you go matters. Again, in my case, I like staying in a hotel. This time, I tried the U Hotel in Makati and I really enjoyed their El Mundo Cafe. Since I started vlogging, I take more videos…

Coffee and chill at Papa Kape, Fort Santiago, Manila
The City of Manila is one of our go-to places and if my family and I feel like picnic-ing, we go to the famous Intramuros. It was a very sunny day in Pasay and we thought let’s go have a picnic and enjoy the sunny/windy feels in Manila. Twelve kilometers after, the rain came and we never had the chance to sit on the grass and enjoy a cup of coffee or whatever. Good thing is, as we walked along Fort Santiago we saw this new coffee shop which apparently just opened first quarter of this year. The ground was still wet, but at least we found a home at…

Syudad by Barrio Fiesta: bringing the neighborhood feast to the city
We’ve tried a lot of Filipino restaurants from around the country, and we have to admit, we cannot compare them as they have different cooking styles. And that is why we all love Pinoy dishes. We barely get used to adobo, dinuguan, crispy pata, pancit, and even kakanin because when we get the chance to try it in different places, we get to eat different versions as well. Pinoy food is never “nakakasawa“. On our recent visit, Syudad served us some of their best-sellers: Click bullet items for photos. Sinalab (P825*). A mix of grilled seafood (chicken, pork, hito, bangus, halaan, pusit, tahong , crab, talong and ensaladang mangga) served with pata…

Find your new Pinoy food favorites in Savor Park Cafe in Makati
The usual Filipino food is usually a variety of influences from different countries such as Spanish, Chinese, Malay, Indian, American and many more. Coming from these inspirations we came up to signature dishes like adobo (usually chicken or pork marinated in a soy-vinegar base) and lechon (roasted pig). Filipino cuisine goes beyond meat, though. People appreciate seafood dishes as well as vegetables and even fruit. Since the country is very wealthy of spices, we can cook almost everything from delicious bowls of soup and plates of crispy-fried produce. Since Filipino favorites are usually served all over each and every area in Manila, some of us are honestly getting tired of…
