Restaurante Pia Y Damaso, Greenbelt 5
Does having a long name for a restaurant equate to long life? I've seen Restaurante Pia Y Damaso in Greenbelt 5 for as long as I can remember, when GB 5 was only a string of 4 or five restos. Funny that I never got to dine fully here. I thought the small space made it more ideal for desserts and coffee. Look at what I've been missing! It was love at first bite between me and the Filo Tart with Pork Asado (P220). Inside, this treat is filled with asado like the kind you have in siopao.

Hand wash clothes so that they are stain-free and smelling fresh for family members to use? Yes. Handwash is preferred because then I know that our garments are thoroughly cleaned and it is also one way of taking care of our ... Continue Reading...
Trench’d Raincoat from Ready for Rain :)
If there's anything we've learned from the torrential rains just passed, it's the fact that wading through terrible floodwaters doesn't give us reason to look frumpy. It's more important than ever to be dressed for the occasion. If ankle-deep is the name of the game, ditch your heels for rubber boots if needed. And if wet weather threatens you enough, for chrissake use your umbrella or resort to something waterproof to wrap your body with. Rainwear is now getting more fashionable than ever and there are no other experts in town than the people who've brought to us ... Continue Reading...
