Today is the last day of 2018, and I chose to write about my best dining experience this year - at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Resort World Manila. AJ and I dined here last December 15, sort of an advance Christmas celebration, and a much-deserve gift to ourselves - for surviving a difficult and challenging 2018. Our "date" at Wolfgang's was actually unplanned; we had an ... READ MORE
Nailed It! Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie
Something good finally came out of my binge-watching Netflix! We made our first Crack Pie and just like that, it's now our instant favorite! I first learned about the Crack Pie when I watched an an episode at Chef's Table featuring Christina Tosi (of the Milk Bar fame) and there she made kwento about how the Crack Pie came to be. It was just something she made out of the ... READ MORE
Food Trip Container Yard in Gensan
I was in General Santos City (or simply "Gensan") last week for work, and it's also my first time to be in this city known for being the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines", and for giving us Manny Pacquiao. Unfortunately, our schedule was packed and we have no time to tour much of the city. But I was surprised and happy to find Gensan so urbanized, which means that the city ... READ MORE
Ribchon at Tagaytay
Ribchon is our newest food discovery in Tagaytay, and now when I think of lechon I crave for their Baby Back Baboy! The Baby Back Baboy is Ribchon's version of lechon, but here they used baby back ribs so there's less fat and the finger-licking goodness of baby back ribs is there with a delightful lechon twist! We ordered the Half-Rack (good for 2-3 persons) in ... READ MORE
Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 5)
We spent our last day in Osaka at Universal Studios Japan (USJ). Despite having explored already some parts of USJ the previous day (see related post here), AJ and I still went there early. We had a quick breakfast at a McDonald's restaurant we found just outside USJ, before starting our day there. The early morning crowd was kinda thick already - even at 9:00 ... READ MORE
Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 2)
Day 2 of our trip to Japan last November involved another long commute by train, this time from Osaka to Nara. We left our AirBnB hostel at 6:00 a.m., and was at Shin-Ōmiya Station a little after 7 a.m. We had breakfast at one of the few open cafes inside the station. The clue to our destination that morning is in our latte art: Our plan was to spend half-day in ... READ MORE
Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 1)
The first 2 days of our trip was spent in Kyoto, and in those 2 days we have to commute all the way from Osaka because of the 'slight' change I had to make with our AirBnB booking. As mentioned in my previous post, the original plan was to stay overnight in Kyoto (so from the airport we would have traveled directly to Kyoto) and then move to Osaka on the eve of our second ...

A Weekend Getaway in Baguio
Sharing with you snippets of our spur-of-moment road trip to Baguio last February (before the Panagbenga season), where everything was done last minute: last minute hotel booking, last minute decision to bring our car (instead of taking the bus) and last minute packing hehe! We left Manila early Saturday morning at 4 a.m. and thanks to the wonders of expressways ... READ MORE
