1st IHOP in the Philippines opens Feb 15! (updated)
I've been seeing a lot of searches for IHOP in this blog which only means that the people of Manila can't wait to taste the heavenly pancakes and more at IHOP. Well I guess the waiting won't take so long because the first branch of ihop opens in Bonifacio Global City post-Valentine's. The doors open at 6 am, Feb. 15 (today) to be exact. It will be only be a soft opening but expect the crowd to be full already. We've been told that IHOP Philippines will adopt the same menu as those in the US. Aside from the the usual breakfast stuff like pancakes, omelettes, waffles ... Continue Reading...
J.Co Donuts Eastwood branch is open 24/7
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.

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...
Road to Angkor Wat

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. Nothing's more exciting than hearing it from the locals themselves on how to prepare their dishes. And being able to whip up a foreign dish is something you can happily show off to family and friends back home. It's easier than you think ;) I took the class at Temple Bar in Pub Street. They had this spacious spot on the second floor with all the bells & whistles for a whole afternoon of cooking. Aside from ... Continue Reading...
