Where I am now in Manila: I feel like am in a giant oven with this heat! I've made a mental note to be in Alaska or the Himalayas at this same time next year. Suddenly, am craving for the chilling cold instead of seemingly being burned alive in the sun when I go out these days. I really wish Summer 2013 isn't this cruel to the skin, eyes & everything else :( One great tip for coping: hydrate! hydrate! Drink tons of water if you can, or take refuge in something cool like ice cream..... and popsicles! Am glad Tess of The Maya Kitchen sent me this recipe for ... Continue Reading...

Mad for Garlic @ BGC
Can you really be mad for garlic? I am. As a true-blooded Filipino, I love garlic rice and I cannot eat adobo without garlic. Every dish I cook that needs sauteing simply has to have it .. oodles of bawang... the more, the better! But yes, there's a new restaurant in town that's really called Mad for Garlic (from the same company that brought IHOP, Gyu Kaku and CPK to Manila.) Its proponents describe MFG as Korean mixed with Italian. Quite an unlikely marriage I know, but judging from our taste test recently, it's worth trying. Because it's a foreign ...

When in Hong Kong: The Excelsior
The Excelsior was one very fine hotel I stayed in during my last visit to Hong Kong. Owned and managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, it is the largest hotel in Hong Kong island with 884 guest rooms and suites. You can choose a view of the city or Victoria Park but nothing beats the rooms overlooking Victoria Harbor where you can see the boats passing by and of course, the magnificent buildings on the Kowloon side. It was quite dream-like to have this image of Hong Kong from my room, albeit a little foggy. I wax sentimental over skyline views, it makes me ... Continue Reading...
#weekenddiscoveries: Antipolo City!
This is something we'd probably agree on: I love going to places I've never been to, discovering new tastes, relishing new experiences... am sure you do too! When Abby of Nuffnang Philippines invited me last month to a secret weekend escapade, the question was apt: when was the last time you discovered something for the first time? Truth is: the last time when I discovered something for the first time was only the week before (eh heh) but hey, I never say no to NEW! :) The day started with a power breakfast at the cozy Mom & Tina's restaurant along C5-Libis. A ... Continue Reading...
