Cello's doughnuts While munching on our yummy KK giveaways after the last BlogCon, Karla and Aaron clued me in on this great doughnut place found in the university towns of La Salle and Ateneo. I made a mental note to visit whenever I got anywhere near Vito Cruz and was glad to do so one sunny day. Certainly I didn't regret one bit munching on this doughnut brand - an all-Filipino concoction which could give Western donut chains a run, run,run for their money. I ordered two of the house bestsellers, the cheese and Oreo donuts with brewed coffee. The ... Continue Reading...

Amazing World Light Expo
mosaicWLE Amazing is the word to describe the 2007 World Light Expo which is ongoing in Manila till April 22. Stepping in, the onlooker is treated to a seeming wonderland of gaily-lit pagodas, intricately-decorated gates and arches, even a 100-meter dragon made from ceramic cups, saucers and plates! I regret not having a professional camera or videocam to capture all this beauty but it sure is a refreshing experience to see the Expo, a welcome breather from the smog and shopaholic excitement which we know Manila is all about. ...

Merienda at Hizon’s and precious lessons my son has taught me
Hizon's - Manila We were supposed to go to the mall that weekend but realizing that I lost my wallet (after coming home groggy from my graveyard shift), I decided to tag along my son for a cozy date at Hizon's, the venerable bakeshop in Ermita.

For one, the appellation best-tasting is subject to much contention; "pricey" and "overrated" is a better term in lieu of the advent of much superior ... Continue Reading...

The Philippines' very own low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific yesterday revived its One Peso seat sale dubbed " All for Juan, P1+++ for All" to celebrate the completion of its refleeting program and the delivery of a new AirBus (or is it AirBuses?) The sale is on from March 2 to 8 and the travel period is from June 1- Dec. 15 of this year. What's good about this is that the single peso promo is not just applicable to their domestic destinations but also to CebuPac's international flights to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. ...

Chaikofi: how much should you pay for “presentation?”
Chaikofi New chain chaikofi has got to have the best decorated interiors of a dining/coffee place in Manila today. Their just-opened express outlet at Robinsons Ermita stands out from the crowd because of its yellow motif and brightly-lit contemporary design. The back-to-back lounge seating evokes an American diner feel infused with the European touch (and rightly so, because one of the owners is Dutch). If you're looking for an alternative to good ol' Starbucks or Figaro, this is the place to go. At least you can hang out sipping your 100 peso designer ... Continue Reading...
