    My most favorite thing in Isdaan Floating Restaurant

    If you’re a Pinoy foodie and/or a traveler, I bet you already had a nice dining experience at or at least familiar with one of the Isdaan Floating restaurants across Luzon. Among those branches, my most recent visit was in Gerona, Tarlac. It just so happened that I was around the area so why not dine in one of the most IG-worthy restaurants in the Philippines? Any of the Isdaan branches boasts not only their Thailand-inspired theme which is perfect for people who loves taking pictures, I also looooove their food. Being honest, service is a bit slow (common among all branches), once you get your food orders you’ll totally…

    Romantic Baboy: the cheesiest korean grill experience

    I seriously hate waiting in looong lines most especially when I’m hungry. But it’s a worthy sacrifice if I want to reward myself with heavy and delicious dinner. Plus, it’s just common here in the Philippines, as most of the people are fans of “unlimited” meals – so very long lines in places that offer unli meat or even unli rice is not new. My friends and I are planning our summer trip for this year, and our first meeting was really productive. Productive meaning we completed at least one day of our four-day itinerary. All thanks to a tasty and fun dining experience at Romantic Baboy. 8 types and…

    Enjoy affordable Japanese eats at Kaito Japanese Carinderia in Makati

    I looooove Japanese cuisine, though I haven’t been to Japan yet (omg, I just realized I have to go there soon). But I know I’m having an authentic Japanese dish when Japanese friends invite me to a Japanese restaurant. I’m not sure about you, but I noticed Japanese people are a bit picky on what they eat and are very sensitive on different spices we commonly use for our Pinoy meals. So I am really a fan of those who can pull off a full-menu fusion of not just dishes but flavors from different cuisines and cultural taste. Most of the good (and even best) Japanese restaurants in the Philippines…

    Sundowners Vacation Villas: one of the coolest Santorini-inspired vacation villas in PH!

    I’ve been seeing numbers of resorts and vacation houses inspired and actually feels like Santorini in Greece – white and clean, blue and relaxing, infinity pools overlooking the oceans, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A perfect vacay for the family, friends or to be honest, an ideal get-away for solo travelers as well. One of these beautiful vacay houses is the Sundowners Vacation Villas in Bolinao. On this article, I’m sharing my first experience in Sundowners and why and how I fell in love with the place. It may look and sound luxurious and expensive, but really, all the spends are worth it. Thanks, Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao Tourism, The PH…

    Gerry’s Grill Favorites

    Finally had the time to go out with my family for dinner! It’s not that I don’t want having dinner at home, but I just needed some time outside the house just to unwind and at least see places I don’t usually see everyday. Lol. Yea, we just went out to the mall as we always do. It just felt a little better now because we’re welcoming a new kitten to the family.. Gerry’s Frill is one of the most common go-to places especially for groups or families – hindi lang masarap, affordable pa. So yep, I am not blogging about because this is my first time (it’s actually my, idk, 100,000,000th??)…
