Thanks to Spanx for giving Pinoy foodies a heads-up on this piece of news: Philippines' Most Popular Fast-food Chain Lands in Queens. Via Grub Street. 500 overseas branches, and counting? Wow! This is just positive news, especially as we don' t really see too many Filipino companies going global. I did see Pancake House International during my last visit to Malaysia. I had to blink twice. Kudos to these firms for expanding. ... Continue Reading...
Litratong Pinoy 47: Bulaklak
Ngayong linggo sa Litratong Pinoy, ang pinag-uusapan ay bulaklak. Kapag sinabi mong bulaklak eh wala akong maisip kundi ang magandang bouquet ng dilaw na calla lily na hawak ko nung kami ni WhizHeart ay kinasal kamakailan. Sobra akong nabighani sa bulaklak na ito kaya di ko sinunod ang tradisyon na itapon ito sa bouquet toss. Ganun na lang ang panunuksong inabot ko sa aking kabiyak at malapit na kaibigan. Selfish daw ako, hehe. Ngayon ko lang naisip, nandun ang bulaklak sa bawat mahalagang bahagi ng buhay ng tao. Halimbawa na dito ang kasal, Valentine's Day, ... Continue Reading...
Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Selangor
When you're in Malaysia, I'd highly recommend a visit to Sunway Lagoon if you're tired of the whole Kuala Lumpur shopping-eating scene. The resort is just a 40-minute taxi ride from KL. As I didn't grow up with cartoons, I find frolicking in its chlorinated waters better than romping with Buzz Lightyear in Hong Kong Disneyland. Sunway reminded me of a bigger version of the Fontana Resort in Clark and it is also better than Genting Highlands because the latter looks really old and cramped. If you can zoom through this picture, you'd notice that there's a ... Continue Reading...
Beryl’s Chocolate Kingdom, Malaysia
During this trip, I was glad to discover Beryl's Chocolates and to visit their showroom-cum-museum in Kuala Lumpur. Actually, it's a big house converted into a commercial structure. I was thinking that it was such a nice marketing ploy, to promote the brand, and products that are proudly made in Malaysia.There was a steady stream of tourists like us a-visiting, for who can refuse chocolates? My son, the dessert lover, enjoyed our little tour, particularly as they were giving us free bites of chocolates to sample. I ended up buying $70 worth of chocs to take ... Continue Reading...
Kuala Lumpur street scenes
I have this thing against going to the same place for a second time or a third time, when visiting other parts of the world is tempting. However, I could not say the same thing about Kuala Lumpur, a favorite city. I just love the food! And the shopping. Don't forget its character and spirit. You'd get hungry at 3:30 a.m. and there's decent food to be had. Unfortunately, its street scene is more alive than Manila too :( Here are some pictures I took from our recent vacation: When in KL, I always stay in the Bukit Bintang area. In fact, I'd advise my friends ... Continue Reading...
