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...
Cebu Pacific Manila-Siem Reap (& vice versa)
It was my first time to try Cebu Pacific outside of their Hong Kong-Macau flights and had a good experience (disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, LOL). I just had to be in this flight because am trying to make a list of all the exotic places I want to visit in Asia and Siem Reap (home of the Angkor Wat) is one of them. Cebu Pacific is the only local airline right now flying straight to Siem Reap and for the savvy traveler, this is definitely faster than taking the overland route from Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City. Travel time is two hours 45 minutes. The flights ... Continue Reading...

Review: Crumpler Vegetable From Inside the Mountain
Zoom in! That's moi with my favorite travelling backpack at the moment, the Crumpler Vegetable From Inside the Mountain. I don't know why some Crumpler bags have these really long names but I've used this label long enough to appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness that goes with each product. In the case of this bag in review, I really like it for its use of light materials which doesn't make carrying it a big burden. This is the front view of the bag with all three components. There's a sizeable pouch for holding shoes , shirts or whatever you like and a small ... Continue Reading...
Tsukemen experience at Mitsuyado Sei-Men
Although I've been eating ramen for a long time now, the tsukemen (dipping noodles) experience was something new to me.In Manila, only one new Japanese restaurant offers this at the moment and it's at Mitsuyado Sei-Men on Jupiter St. Makati. The tsukemen concept is basically that the noodles are separated from the soup and its toppings so you have a plated presentation like this serving of Marotoku Tsukemen (P340) - Step 1: hold the noodles with the chopsticks, step 2: dip it in the soup. Eat at your leisure getting the toppings and slurping more soup. ... Continue Reading...
