Anybody here tried the Triple O's (by White Spot) burger at SM Aura? How did you find it? Did you like it? You must be wondering why I am asking these questions, when I am obviously writing a food review about it. Well, I wanted to see if I'm the only one here who wasn't impressed with the burgers. They looked very interesting in the menu; we didn't mind at all the ... READ MORE
Enjoying Life’s Little Pleasures at Magnum Manila
Would you believe that AJ and I visited Magnum Cafe 3x last month? Parang sabik lang sa ice cream, ano? Hehe!

Rockin’ Raw and Rolls at Ogetsu Hime
A new Japanese restaurant has opened at SM Aura in December last year, and the hubby and I were invited 2 Saturdays ago to try their selection of dishes.

The restaurant's name is Ogetsu Hime, short ... READ MORE
