I used to work for the newspaper (I still write in!) from 1996 to 2001 and I still remember the one-storey McDonald's a few meters away that used to be in this spot. Now it's being occupied by The Bayleaf, the newest boutique hotel to rise in Manila's historic district of Intramuros. I can't help but wax sentimental, especially since so many places are being torn down in Manila to give way to high-rise condos and the like. But at least, they did a good job with The Bayleaf.

I already narrated before our Divisoria press trip with the people from Mama Sita.The culmination of our tour was our lunch at the cozy Ristorante Delle Mitre in front of the historic San Agustin Church. I was surprised that this resto is being ran by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.

I made good ... Continue Reading...
Foodie tip: teppanyaki eat-all-you-can @ Yurakuen, Diamond Hotel Manila
This huge cheery blossom tree made of glass will always be an iconic symbol of Yurakuen at Diamond Hotel Philippines, definitely one of the best Japanese dining spots in Manila. What better way to enjoy an exquisite cuisine than being served by kimono-clad waitresses amid the classy marble tables and stoneware while relishing the view of Manila Bay in this resto's floor-to-ceiling glass windows? I've eaten in Yurakuen several times before but it was only recently that I discovered the Teppanyaki Table.We sat in a curved counter long enough for eight people and the ... Continue Reading...
It’s 25 days till Christmas …. time for Purefoods Fiesta Ham!
You know it's the Christmas season when ham and queso de bola are on full display in the grocery aisles. In this case, only 25 days to go till the country's biggest holiday arrives and families gather on the dining table for their merry feasts. As a mom, I get excited in not only buying presents for the kids but also planning the menu for our little get-together on Christmas Eve. Ever since I was small, Purefoods Fiesta Ham has been a staple in our noche buena table. And when I grew up, it's either others gave them as a gift to me or I bought them myself. ...
