Food Tripping at Puerto Princesa

07.14.2013 by Leah //

I have written much about our trip in Puerto Princesa, Palawan last May, but have not said much about the food there.   Why is that?  Because I've been saving it for last   =) Since all breakfasts and lunches during our 4-day trip are already paid for (as part of the tour and accommodation packages that we availed of),  it was only our dinners that we have to plan and pay ...

A Worry Free Afternoon at Nestlé Acti-V Go Lounge

07.09.2013 by Leah //

What a stressful day I had today at the office, and it's only Tuesday! July is actually the busiest month at work because: It is the month where mid-year performance reports are due for submission to the management; July also signals the start of strategic planning preparations (read: whole day meetings, ack!); and, It is also the month where we start preparing our ...

Food Post: Yabu: House of Katsu

06.27.2013 by Leah //

I still remember the last time I had a good katsudon, and that was at Crazy Katsu at the Teacher's Village in U.P. Diliman.  Their Chicken Katsu is my favorite and nothing I've tasted after that came close as good as this one. And then I discovered Yabu: House of Katsu. Touted as the "high-end" version of katsudon, I was curious to find out what's so special about ... READ MORE

Food Post: Holdak – the REAL Korean Fried Chicken

06.12.2013 by Leah //

A week before we left for Palawan, I received this invitation from HOLDAK, the newest casual restaurant to open in the Philippines that specializes in authentic Korean-style fried chicken. I wasn't able to make it at the Bloggers' Night, though, because I have work. But being the fried-chicken lover that I am, I made sure to check it out the next day (a Saturday) with ... READ MORE

Batangas Adobo

06.07.2013 by Leah //

Ever since I learned how to cook I've been trying to 'copy' my mom's Adobo recipe.   She hails from Batangas and her Batangas Adobo is very popular not only among us - her family - but also among her relatives and friends.  It has gained followers too from my office, too, because any left over Adobo we have, my dad turns into Adobo Sandwich, which I then bring to the office as ...

Follow the Sun with a Honda Bay Tour!

06.05.2013 by Leah //

AJ and I spent the whole of Sunday last week at Honda Bay, still at Puerto Princesa in Palawan, where the Honda Bay Tour took us to 2 islands and 1 reef, enjoy a picnic-type lunch of delectable seafood, do kayaking, bike in the waters with an aqua pedal bike, and bask in the afternoon sun while feeding fishes at the beach. We were picked up by our tour guide, Ms. Annie, at ... READ MORE

Food Post: Shi Lin

05.18.2013 by Leah //

I've eaten at Shi Lin for 3 times already this month and I haven't written anything about it yet. Please don't think I'm keeping it a secret (hehe!).  A lot of food blogs have raved about their dumplings already so my post is actually kind of late na. The most talked about 'dumpling' at Shi Lin is their Xiao Long Bao,  which is basically steamed pork dumpling with soup ... READ MORE

Food Post: Moonleaf Tea Shop (Ortigas Home Depot)

05.15.2013 by Leah //

I have friends who really love milk tea drinks, and there is one who never fails to post her milk tea drinks over at Instagram.  She gets most of them from the Moonleaf Tea Shop and I wasn't surprised at her choice - I've tried their milk tea before and I liked it too. This got me thinking. Maybe I'd survive summer more beautifully if I had milk teas everyday like my friend ... READ MORE
