Back in Manila - A weekend of eating and relaxing.

Mijo and I were in Manila for a short stay - before we flew to Boracay and after the family trip to Singapore. In that short stay, we ate and ate a lot and saw a really good live theater.

We always have a great time when in Manila!

Back in Manila - Eating my way through the City

Manila has evolved into a city with a great food scene. Every where I go, there is good food.

I was in Manila the past week and also in December and for a couple of weeks. During both times I took note of all the good food I ate.

When in Manila, Mijo and I eat. Lots of choices and lots of variety. 

I took note of everything Mijo and I enjoyed eating in this trip.  Enjoy!

Back in Manila - Rediscovering the city's food scene

I had free time at work and I took that chance to go somewhere where I can relax. The first thing that came to mind was to go back to Manila.

My time off was not a lot so I made sure that I plan my days carefully and this included the places to eat. Luckily, my vacation turned out not only good for the soul but for the taste buds as well.

Eating my way through Manila - Two weeks of delicious meals and snacks

I go back to Manila at least once a year to see my mom and the entire family and friends and I've been doing it for over 15 years now. Manila is changing at a fast pace and I like what I am rediscovering each year. For one thing, there are more restaurants and places to eat now than before and they serve truly good food.

For two weeks, I tried to take pictures of what I ate while I was in Manila. This blog contains twentyfive savory meals, desserts and drinks I sampled with Mijo, with my family and friends. Enjoy!

One month in South East Asia - My holiday in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Cebu.

I was allowed at work to take a month off so that I can take care of my personal business and spend time with mom and siblings during the Holidays. That is why when I took my time off for a month, I savored every minute of my trips to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and the island of Cebu. Everything was a novelty to me.

Manila rain

There I was. Sitting alone at Café Havana while the rain outside seemed like not letting up. My sis and a friend had excused themselves earlier to freshen up. I took a sip of my chilled mangojito which is concoction of rhum, mango juice and crushed mint leaves. It is the Manila version of the classic mojito cocktail.
