Am pleased to have seen J.Co Donuts grow - from the time it was first launched to the phenomenal success it is enjoying in less than a year of operation. It seems this donut has captured the Filipino palate because of their tempting gourmet flavors, delicious taste and the fact that it's not too sweet. Two weeks ago, J.Co opened their latest branch in Eastwood City. Their largest branch so far is also open 24 hours, solving the problem of those who have to brave the lines during peak hours. Eastwood is the latest addition to the growing chain of J.Co donuts ... Continue Reading...
Cambodian cooking class
In the same way that I took a cooking class in Hanoi, I also couldn't resist taking one in Siem Reap. It was the best $10 I've spent in an activity so far.

Eat at your leisure getting the toppings and slurping more soup. ... Continue Reading...
PF Chang’s now open in BGC!
After a successful opening in Alabang, the US-based PF Chang's China Bistro finally opened at the Bonifacio Global City just in time for Valentine's and Chinese New Year. The interiors are quite different from their Alabang location. This one is predominantly light wood and has a laid-back country feel. Their trademark terra cotta horses are still noticeable by the entrance. Here's a view I took from the second floor after negotiating the steep stairs (note: not really advisable for senior citizens) PF Chang's is at the W Global Center, BGC (nearest to CAV in ...
