It has been a long time since I wrote for Litratong Pinoy (peace, Thess!) at para sa tema ngayong linggong ito, wala akong maisip na maisali sa temang tuyo (dry) kundi ang aking huling byahe sa Mount Pinatubo noong Mayo. Karaniwan, pag sinabi mong dry o "tuyo," walang appeal sa atin, pero na-enjoy ko talaga ang trip na ito dahil may halong adventure at communion with nature. Ito ang landscape bago namin narating ang bulkan na ultimong may emerald lake. ... Continue Reading...
Chocolate overload in Cebu
After our dessert overload in Bacolod, it's now time for my little chocolate interlude in Cebu. It's not really intentional. Just so happened that when every time I asked the waitstaff about the house bestseller, they always pointed to chocolate cakes on their glass display counter. Don't ask me which among Bacolod and Cebu won in the dessert category. The only thing I can say for certain is that overloading on their sweets can make you (willingly) fat :D I have to admit that since Cebu is a bigger city, the food scene there is more exciting. In fact, I wanna go ... Continue Reading...
Chika-an sa Cebu and Visayan cuisine
On our last day in Cebu City, our group ate lunch at Chika-an sa Cebu before heading to the airport and buying some pasalubong. You know the part about Filipino restaurants which overdo on rattan furniture just to look local? This one didn't :D It had nice, contemporary interiors, just like Cafe Laguna. Diners also have a choice between staying indoors (for airconditioning) or outdoors (for smoking or just smelling the breeze). The part that I liked best was the menu. Mostly, it was the thrill of seeing familiar dishes from my childhood. I really don't get ... Continue Reading...
Laguna Garden Cafe, Cebu City
After our calorific trip to Bacolod City, it's now time to hie off to Cebu, the Queen City of the South. There's just so much one can do on a business trip, but I noticed there seems to be no end to all the eating. It starts, of course, with the free buffet breakfast in the hotel coffee shop. Ugh. Aside from being able to speak the local dialect, I am actually excited to be in Cebu. As a food tripper, what am excited about is trying restos and eating places that aren't usually found in Manila. My friends never fail to root for Cebu lechon (and more lechonnn), but ... Continue Reading...
First sighting of the iPhone 3GS in the Philippines…. w00t!
As expected, I got my first sighting of the much-coveted iPhone 3GS in the Manila Bulletin Technews Lab yesterday. Picture is kinda blurred, but that's tech editor Art Samaniego having a blast with the Apple gadget, which will be made available by Globe to the public on July 31 yet. As an Apple user, I can't help but salivate at this latest version which is touted to be two times faster than the iPhone 3G. Easily one of the highlights is the digital compass and installed software like Google Maps which will be able to tell you where your location is, and tell ... Continue Reading...
