{Cole Haan jacket, Bugis top, Cotton On shorts, Steve Madden slip-ons, Anne Klein bag} Last night, Nadine and I went for dinner in UP Town Center. It wasn’t your usual dinner though coz we hopped from establishment to establishment. We were supposed to go for wings, but ended up greatly disappointed when we found out that Wingman…
BALLET DAY
{Cotton On dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, Michael Kors bag} Last Saturday, I got to enjoy the ballet with my Tita Becky. I was really excited when she messaged me because it’s been a while since I’ve watched ballet and remember how 7-year old me was enthralled by Lisa Macuja Elizalde? Well, this performance was under her…
SUNDAY WISHFUL THINKING
This Sunday hasn’t been ideal. Coughing spells and a splitting headache has pretty much confined me to bed. Not that I don’t like naps, it’s just that it’s Sunday, one of the few days I have completely to myself. And I’m sleeping its precious hours away. 🙁 This got me wishfully thinking of how I…
BUDGET-FRIENDLY JAPANESE FOOD AT ZIPANG
Let’s admit it, wherever in the world you are, Japanese food is always pricier than average. In fact, one of the priciest meals you can ever have on Earth is a ¥30,000 (or USD241 or SGD340 or PHP11,156) sushi tasting at Jiro Ono’s Three Michelin starred Sukiyabashi Jiro. All the hype around it makes it a…
5 DESSERT FAVORITES IN MANILA
A good meal becomes even better when you end it on a high note. Yes, I’m talking about the importance of dessert. Some may prefer cakes over ice cream or foreign-inspired over local flavors, but rarely do I find a person who’s not a fan of desserts. There’s always something for everyone and as such,…
FEEL GOOD SLASH FOODIE FLASHBACK FRIDAY: BREAKFAST @ JUANITA
How’s your Friday going? Mine is going really well. It’s 10pm and I’m in bed, listening to Spotify and blogging. So happening, non? But at least I’m doing so in a rather spacious and comfy hotel room. The perks of my mom being in Singapore on business! 😛 Figured it’s time to do a flashback Friday entry…
A FOODIE EXPERIENCE: EATING AT DAMPA
I am a fan of dampa. It’s straightforward, no frills, and you can be assured that the food is always fresh. It’s not the most glamorous, but it does boast of authentic and delicious Filipino food that does not hurt your wallet. What is dampa anyway? Literally speaking, it’s a wet market selling seafood and the like…
DANDELIONS AND KETTLE AT SM AURA
After going to Ateneo, Luke and I headed over to SM Aura. It was both our first time there so we just walked around and played by the Giant Dandelion installation on the rooftop since we both weren’t that keen on shopping. I do understand, however, why it has become almost everyone’s favorite mall. Big brands,…
A FOODIE FAVORITE: LŌLA CAFE
Probably my favorite discovery in Manila was Lōla Cafe. I went there with my high school girlfriends, loved it so much that I went back the next day with my mom and Luke. It’s funny because my friend Irish, the one who suggested it, was actually there for lunch the same day we had our…
FOODIE DIARY: NIHON BASHITEI
I often tell my boyfriend how glad I am that he loves Japanese food. Mostly because there are times we can’t think of what to have for dinner that we end up going on our default mode – even if we just had Japanese a couple of nights ago. The other times because it makes…
CURRENTLY CRAVING: CIBO
When I was in Manila a couple of months back, I made sure to visit some of my favorite local places – one of which was Cibo. My siblings and I had lunch over contemporary Italian food, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and wished I could take this outlet with me to Singapore (preferably…
