    Coffee and chill at Cafe Roma in Goshen Resort, Tarlac

    Before the ECQ, we traveled all the way to Tarlac for a weekend just to get some fresh air and take a short break from the city noise. We roamed around Tarlac, enjoyed this super romantic Cafe Roma in Goshen Resort, and stayed in a very nice hotel in Angeles before going back home the next day.  Tarlac was not really one of the most-listed go-to places for Pinoy travel enthusiasts. Until people saw these beautiful flower farm and Rome pictures on Facebook and Instagram, they started to notice how wonderful this province truly is.   The view from the cafe indeed made us feel like we’re outside the Philippines! We went…

    Purple Beetle reopens for pick-up, delivery, and dine-in

    People from Manila have tons of reasons why they love Tagaytay as a weekend go-to place. And one of those is the Instagrammable views and vibes of the place, not to mention the restaurants from around Tagaytay that we love to try more than once. Like for example this cute cafe at Twin Lakes Shopping Village – Purple Beetle. The first time I got to experience the place and the food was with my What To Eat fam during our roadtrip and food crawl in Tagaytay. We also got to stay at the Twin Lakes Hotel and it was aaawwweeessssoommmee!  If you want a quick trip during the rainy days to…

    The things I miss from La Creperie!

    The last time I’ve been to Tagaytay was a month before the ECQ in Manila started. What I like most about Tagaytay are these unique restaurants that offer not only good food but great nature views. That’s why Tagaytay is my go-to place whenever I need a break. Thanks to the cold weather and super yummy hot chocolate from everywhere. So when we were on lockdown, I really missed La Creperie – one of my most loved cafes in Tagaytay. Just a week ago, I learned they have new branches in Manila and that really excite me! I knew they are in other places aside Tagaytay, but I just really…

    Hakata Ton-Ichi: my newest go-to ramen place in Makati

    When I have Ramen cravings I realized it’s good thing there is a ramen place just on the second floor of our office building. This is not your usual 300-400-peso ramen, but this is classic bowl of super yummy ramen that sells for only P180*! Tipid mode, diba? Perfect for a comfort food right after a loooong tiring day. I’d probably fall in love with ramen, thanks to Hakata Ton-Ichi. I’ve tried a lot of versions of ramen already, and to be honest, I’m not really sure yet which is the best. Okay, I know you have a specific ramen house in mind, but I just think they’re all good…

    5 of the best dishes you shouldn’t miss when dining in Dean & DeLuca

    What I love about Dean & DeLuca is that they offer healthy and organic dishes such as salads, pastas, sandwiches and pastries so unique that people will definitely come again and get more. Dean & DeLuca put the utmost pride and dedication into the quality and taste of their food, wherever they go. One thing I love doing is trying out restaurants -even familiar brands- and (subconsciously) compare their dishes to other branch of the same brand, if that makes sense. Mostly, one big difference would be the service and ambiance, but most importantly, the quality of their food is what makes people come and dine again. Another thing I…
