Our visit to Cartoon Network Amazone was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Pattaya, Thailand. It was part of Royal Cliff Beach Hotel's Stay and Play package which guests and families can avail of when they check in.The package includes stay in a suite room, VIP passes to the water park with special discounts on the purchase of food, beverage and items in the retail shop, among other benefits. There was a van transfer to the water park at the rate of only 100 baht per person. I found this very convenient since the park was a few kilometers away from Royal ... Continue Reading...

New oatmeal recipes to try: arroz caldo & mushroom risotto
Oatmeal is a good way of promoting healthy digestion and lowering cholesterol in the body. I usually just mix it with hot milk or water then add fruits like bananas for a filling breakfast . A few weeks ago, however, there was a cooking demo conducted by Dong-A Pharma Phils., the distributor of GV Michel Oatmeal of Australia at the Century Park Hotel. The different ways by which the chefs prepared oatmeal literally bowled me over. The oats caldo (oatmeal version of arroz caldo) was so good and the three-mushroom oatmeal risotto made me feel like I was eating in a ... Continue Reading...

I was thrilled to learn that they've opened in bustling Bonifacio Global City, and got an invite to try their specialties no less. As a purveyor of farm-to-table cuisine, dining at Earth Kitchen is always for a good cause since they support the Got Heart Farms in Tarlac. There are other communities from Luzon to Mindanao where they source the ingredients. The emphasis is on healthy, organic produce that's free from GMOs, pesticides and other harmful ...

Our Royal Cliff Beach Hotel family holiday in Pattaya (part 2)
Can you imagine, we went to Thailand not being able to shop at all? I guess that's what you get for staying in a resort that's far from the madding crowd. But am not complaining. Especially as I saw my kids very happy and I got my much-needed relaxation with a capital R! :) We were assigned this Mini Suite Sea View Plus room which was approximately 40 sq.m. but more than enough for us. There was a king-size bed but Dionne, my older daughter, preferred to sleep on the couch. While the other rooms in the property had a mountain view, the best part was our ... Continue Reading...
