Here's another of those reasons why the Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig is shaping up to be a more prestigious address than neighboring Makati City: They are using aircon jeepneys slash electric jeeps in Makati while Taguig's Global City has just unveiled its fleet of Mercedes Benz coaches to shuttle residents and employees to and from their place of residence and work. Public transport in the Fort utilizes the Mercedes-Benz O 500 M 1725, the same motor coach service used in more cosmopolitan cities like London, the official press statement says. The ...

Halal restaurants in Manila : the expat’s guide
For this lazy Thursday, am suddenly craving for a tasty serving of shrimp biryani at Ghazal, the best little hole-on-the-wall for Middle Eastern food in my book, even better than Shawarma Center. Don't expect anything fancy, the resto is an affair of eight or so tables in the busy thoroughfare that is Mabini St. in Manila, a walking distance from the Hyatt Hotel. What you can find here: various kinds of biryani and tikka, kebabs, lassi and other home-cooked specialties that escape me now. In this place, I go to the extremes and slather my hot rice with butter... it's ... Continue Reading...
Food for love and aphrodisiacs
Okay, I might have erred preparing all those creamy concoctions for V-Day. Just read now that meals made of cream , milk and cheese contain trytophan which makes one drowsy.

I actually wrote an article before about aphrodisiacs before for a wedding magazine and am rescuing it now for the sake of this blog. The list includes some which are exotic while a few are ...

Sweet Little Miss Wifely Steps has an ongoing blog carnival entitled "Show of Hearts" where readers and friends are invited to post anything heart-related. My entry of course has something to do with the just-concluded V-day. The bf was by his usual thoughtful self and made it in time for our Valentine celebration across time zones. Thanks to the magic of online shopping; never really gave this thing a thought, until My Sweet told me to check out a few Filipino-owned sites and how their prices compared against each other. He finally settles for makulay.com because ... Continue Reading...
A Valentine meal for My Sweet
I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. Am a hopeless romantic but I suddenly turn weak when I see the much-vaunted romanticism displayed to the extremes in other people. I also dislike the traffic, chaos and mad rush associated with this overrated Day of Hearts. As a result, I wouldn't it be nice if some of us can just "eat in" instead of "dine out" on V-day, to save oneself the time, stress and energy?? (saving it for later,duh. ) Just got the idea of serving My Sweet some online cuisine, since I don't have flowers or chocolates to give him On this special day. ... Continue Reading...
