We typically have lunch out after church service, and we had our first Sunday family lunch of the year in Soban K-Town Grill in Greenbelt. This restaurant has been here for a while, but it’s our first time to try it. It’s ideal for families and big groups mainly because the group sets are worth … More Soban family lunch
It’s as popular as ever from the time we were here last in 2016. It was good to be walking, going up and down steps, and be surrounded by much greenery in Pinto Art Museum again, especially after a hearty (albeit discouraging) lunch in Vieux Chalet. The senses also had a good exercise. There were … More Pinto Part II
Anyone would be hard pressed to drive from SM Mall of Asia in Pasay to Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, on any given day these days. So what made us go on such a butt-numbing, soul-extinguishing drive? To support a cousin’s first business venture. Lucky us the venture involves pizza. Welcome to Krispy Tomato Krispy … More Believe in blueberry ricotta pizza
Mima and KongKong – what my daughter calls my husband’s parents – were here for the entirety of the holidays. They are based in Butuan City. These visits mean plenty of mall time and eating out. Not that they are especially fond of eating out because while they do enjoy it, they also have a … More Eat your way through the holidays
Batangas. It’s every long weekend’s best friend. It’s also the province for all seasons, as one travel blog put it. 😀 There’s a lot to love about Batangas, given its wonderful, natural attractions and close proximity to Manila. But for something less ubiquitous but still pretty as a postcard, Batangas harbors a secret spot called … More Lobo: Where you can have a bit of Batangas all to yourself
Clearly, it was Uncle’s night. I’m not a craft beer enthusiast per se, so it felt odd to be here at first. My brother – let it be known – carries his own siling labuyo in a small Tupperware on hand, so the hot sauce side to this event was a strong come-on. I’m still … More Craft beer and hot sauce kind of night
Laiya is the gift that keeps on giving. Just around the corner from the city, it patiently waits to welcome you back every time the call of the sea becomes difficult to ignore. I was dead set on a beach trip especially since my visiting brother-in-law expressed interest. For a while then it seemed that … More Family beach break in La Luz
I’m all for indoor play areas for children, but if there’s one thing that can make me not want to try a place out is a ridiculously high entrance fee. We have tried a lot of places, they all tend to be the same, so it’s a bit of a hard sell for me to … More Hello, Kidzania!
Coming off from a meal that was heavy but not as satisfying, I zeroed in on the most healthy-sounding restaurant from TripAdvisor’s list of ‘top-rated restaurants’ near 88 Hotspring Resort: Herb Republic. There are so many terms for restaurants like this nowadays, it can be a little confusing – vegan, vegetarian, farm-to-table, organic. In the … More Hello, Laguna! Herb Republic
