    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…

    5 dishes to try at Mitsuyado Ramen Shokudo

    Going out for a dinner with friends is never boring. But is it just us, having to talk about a barkada outing over a meal? While strolling through Japan Town in Glorietta, Makati, we stumbled upon an unfamiliar ramen restaurant and we all knew we gotta try it. While we plan for a relaxed itinerary for a summer getaway, here are the dishes that made us even more excited to go out and explore more cuisines. Mitsuyado Ramen is a Japanese restaurant located in Makati, Philippines that specializes in serving delicious bowls of ramen and other Japanese dishes. The restaurant has a cozy, nice, and inviting atmosphere, with traditional Japanese…

    Family Valentine Dinner at Neil’s Kitchen, Glorietta

    I’ve read sooo many good reviews about this restaurant in Alabang. Good food, good ambiance, perfect for all kinds of dinner dates with our loved ones. However, it’s too far from our place (probably will cost me 700php+ per Grab trip) so I wasn’t able to visit the restaurant with my family. So I was super excited when I learned they’re opening a branch in Glorietta, Makati, where I and my family usually go when we’re bored at home. I mean yey andito na yung sinasabi nilang masarap! Plus my sister really loved the food there and in fact suggested it for our next family food trip. Sitting just beside…

    Granny’s Kitchen: Chicken Curry Recipe

    Today’s interview with my mom was kinda funny because my dad and my sis was also there and they have different ways of cooking Chicken Curry and they have a loooooot to say and argue about. I had to Google it as well but to no use because people apparently cook food in many different ways. And when you ask my mom how did you do this or what’s next, shell just say “bahala na sila kung anong una.” Ha! Indeed a crazy rich Asian. By the way, this one’s our dinner last night and I really love it especially the potatoes. I love chicken, but I love potatoes more…
