We only had 2 days to explore Scotland, the northern part of UK, but it was enough to see the best of Edinburgh and part of the Highlands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, with lots of old towns and villages that retained much of their original character as settlements. It's not hard to fall in love with Edinburgh, and now I understand why some of the travelers I know ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 3: Exploring the Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford
I have always wanted to explore the English countryside, so when I found this small group tour of Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford from Klook, I immediately booked it. To my surprise, it was the Rabbie's Cotwolds tour that I've been eyeing when we were planning our UK trip. So I was really happy that we will get to experience Rabbie's brand of service. Our ...

UK Adventure Day 1: Exploring London via River Thames + Walking Tour of Buckingham Palace
Our DIY UK itinerary has a good mix of packed and relaxed days, which we laid down like this: the first 3.5 days were for exploring London and other places in England that are very accessible from London, such as Bath, Stonehenge and Oxford, after which we ventured far beyond England – to Edinburgh in Scotland – for 2 full days of sightseeing, and then back to London for ...

An Unforgettable Meal at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse
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 deserved 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 a.m. I am ... READ MORE
