Fort San Pedro is to Cebu as Fort Santiago is to Manila. It was built in 1738 and served mainly as a military defense structure, first by the Spaniards against Muslim raiders, and later by the Filipino revolutionaries against their Spanish conquerors. At present, Fort San Pedro is being maintained as a historical park, while part of it has been turned into a museum with ... READ MORE
Baked Barbeque Chicken
I used our Saladmaster Electric Skillet for this recipe and for the first time, AJ and I were able to make a barbeque dish where the meat was cooked well both inside and outside. We actually bought a Neoflam grill pan last year specifically for grilled and barbeque dishes. But we almost always end up with a half-done grilled dish because the inside part of the meat was ...

Cebu’s Taoist Temple
The Taoist Temple in Cebu City is easily one of the places that you will love to take pictures of - with its colorful temples, structures and oriental figurines that clearly showcase the best in Chinese architecture. It's actually not just one temple (as its name suggests), but a number of temples nestled inside a wealthy subdivision named Beverly Hills. It is the center of ... READ MORE
A Very Old House in Cebu
Despite being a highly urbanized city, Cebu City nurtures one of the oldest ancestral homes in the Philippines, and perhaps the oldest Chinese home outside China. AJ and I were able to visit this quiant ancestral house last Easter Sunday and, being the only visitors at that time, it felt more like a private tour! Welcome to the Yap-San Diego Ancestral House/Museum. You ... READ MORE
The Ranch in Old Banilad Road
Our stay in Cebu was not without fond memories of the restaurants that we tried. Our newest discovery was The Ranch in the old Banilad Road, thanks to my brother who took his family, me and AJ for a lunch there. The Ranch is known for its delectable beef and pork menu. It also has a meat shop where you could buy fresh meat always. I couldn't believe that I've never been ... READ MORE
A Weekend at Laoag
Sorry for the blog hiatus. I was at Laoag last weekend for work and I'm glad we managed to have some R&R there as well. There's just so much to see! AJ and I were there last December but it was in my second visit that I was able to see the town of Sarrat and stayed at Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel. Fort Ilocandia Resort really has a very pretty landscape that is ... READ MORE
Dream Native Resort, Bohol
This was the resort hotel we stayed at in Bohol for 1 night. My brother booked it for all of us. It was very price-y in my standards (around P7,000 per night), but since our travel coincided with the peak season, I didn't mind that at first. We were served welcome drinks of artificially-flavored juices. The owner was Italian I think, judging from his books displayed at the ... READ MORE
Art Works and Food
Can you guess where did I find these cute, comical graphics? The clue is in the chicken! The graphics were from Max's Restaurant - their place mat, exactly hehe. We were there a few weeks ago for lunch, and I was very amused with the little illustrations in their place mats I know I just have to take pictures of them (using my trusty W995 Sony ... READ MORE
