    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…

    Traveling around Philippines through Siglo Modern Filipino

    One of the things I super love about Tagaytay is this wide options on where and what to eat. And as we age, the food and restaurant industry is becoming more and more creative – colorful stores, unique dishes, and more. Yet there also are some that stay with the classic and our forever favorites – Just like Siglo Modern Filipino. Whenever my family and I go on a trip, as much as possible, we try restaurants that are unfamiliar to us. I know Siglo has been sitting there for years now and I’ve been hearing a lot about it but it was just now that I finally get to…

    Subic Bay Yacht Club + the Taste of the North

    I actually didn’t expect I’d have a luxurious stay here, but thanks Subic Bay Yacht Club and What To Eat PH for inviting me to a restful and tasty weekend! Subic Bay Yacht Club is one of those vacay places I never imagined I’d stay at because they used to accept only their guest members (who are more fortunate than us, by the way), but hey, they just opened their gates to the public and I’m super thankful I got to experience not only the comfy stay but their little yet grand feast they call The Taste of the North, but that’s a story for later, so in let’s talk first…
