A few Sundays ago, we were invited to a baptismal party at the legendary Aristocrat Restaurant in Roxas Boulevard.It was something new to me because I've only thought of Aristocrat as an eating place. An unfair impression, I know, as the resto is reasonably huge. It can very well host weddings, debuts, baptismals, birthdays , reunions and other special events that Filipinos are so fond of :) The Engracia Halls (name for the functions rooms) were already full when we arrived. It was festooned with all sorts of colorful balloons and decorations for the warm welcome to ... Continue Reading...

in Katipunan: Tokyo Bubble Tea + Honeybee Patisserie!
As a Southern belle, I really don't mind going to the far North if it means checking out a place I haven't tried. After the biking trip around UP campus, I cruised around Katipunan Avenue which is a whirl of cozy coffeeshops and restos, some of which can only be found here! (Hmmm, I obviously didn't hang out or study in UP, Ateneo or Miriam - being from the Dominican university in Sampaloc, haha). One traffic-less Sunday along C5 road found me entering this cool-looking building on Katipunan: Tokyo Bubble Tea which also shares the same spot as Honeybee Patisserie. ... Continue Reading...

Biking at the UP campus with @travelfactor
A few weeks ago, I crossed something off my to-do list, and that is go biking at the sprawling UP Diliman campus. This was through a cycling trip arranged by Travel Factor. TF is great for when you are a couple, a group or by your lonesome. In the latter case, you don't get to feel alone being bunched together with other people, mostly young professionals. So far, I have done Ilocos Norte and Sagada with the Travel Factor in my bid to see more of the Philippines. For this biking trip, fee was only P950 inclusive of the mountain bike, bottled water, the TF Magazine ... Continue Reading...
Chef Bruce Lim’s Creamy Adobo Pasta recipe @ElectroluxPH housewarming
A few weeks ago, we were invited to a "housewarming party" to celebrate the new office of Electrolux Philippines at the W Bldg. on 5th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City (take note: there are so many W buildings in BGC!) The kitchen was to die-for because it showcased the latest in Electrolux appliances including their flame-less induction ranges, power blenders and built-in microwave ovens. A highlight of the party was a cooking demo by the brand's newest endorsers to kick off Electrolux's Delightful-E Yummy campaign. And one of them was noted chef Bruce Lim ... Continue Reading...
