We didn’t have dessert at ‘Cue Modern Barbecue anymore because I wanted to try the much raved about choco yema cupcakes at Slice so that’s where we went to for dessert.While my friends went straight to Slice I made a quick detour to Jamba Juice next door to use a coupon that was given toContinue reading “Jamba Juice & Slice at Bonifacio High Street”

AC Hotel Carlton Madrid
We decided to book Marriott hotels in Madrid and Barcelona since my cousin Sharon is an elite member and she was able to get us good rates. In Spain Marriott’s hotels are called AC Hotel. Sharon chose the Carlton Madrid property for it’s proximity to the top 3 museums in Madrid which were only aContinue reading “AC Hotel Carlton Madrid”
Lunch at ‘Cue Modern Barbecue
When I go to out of the country I insist on only eating that country’s cuisine. When we went to Spain all we had was Spanish food. Makes sense right? But in Manila I want to eat different kinds of food and it’s a good thing that new restaurants keep opening with new and improvedContinue reading “Lunch at ‘Cue Modern Barbecue”
Madrid-Barajas Airport
We landed in Madrid-Barajas airport more than 24 hours after I left my house in Manila. I should be tired and sleepy but when I saw the jaw dropping airport I was instantly invigorated. Even the bridge-way from the airplane was beautiful. I liked the ceiling made of wood slats. It added warmth yet itContinue reading “Madrid-Barajas Airport”
Qatar Airways Business Class Lounge @ Doha International Airport
We arrived in Doha for a 3 hour layover before continuing on to Madrid. I liked this break to give us time to stretch our legs and take a break from airplane seats not that we had anything to complain about Qatar Airways’ roomy seat. I thought 3 hours was a lot of time butContinue reading “Qatar Airways Business Class Lounge @ Doha International Airport”
La Crêperie
Rochelle and I recently played hooky on a weekday and watched a movie who’s title I’d rather not mention. While the movie was regrettable our lunch after was not. One of our very last meals in Paris was at a crêperie. We stuffed our faces with a wonderful dessert crêpe. Luckily you can get goodContinue reading “La Crêperie”
Qatar Airways Business Class (Manila to Doha to Madrid)
Since very few airlines go to Madrid from Manila direct we chose the best airline with the cheapest business class seats and that’s Qatar Airways. The entire flight including a stop over a Doha took about 23 hours that’s why business class was the only way to go. Our journey started in the lounge atContinue reading “Qatar Airways Business Class (Manila to Doha to Madrid)”
Nic’s Gourmet Desserts
I’ve passed by Nic’s Gourmet Desserts on A. Mabini several times but I never went in for fear of discovering some delicious creations that I don’t really need to be eating. But when I saw Lori’s feature on her blog I couldn’t resist checking it out myself. They also served breakfast, sandwiches and pasta asContinue reading “Nic’s Gourmet Desserts”

Dinner at Napa Restaurant & Bar
Rochelle and Chris wanted to see my cousin Angie since she was a gracious host to us when we went to Taipei two years ago. We were thinking of a restaurant that was kid friendly and at the same time something new. Warren suggested Napa Restaurant & Bar in Quezon City. Napa and 8 SpicesContinue reading “Dinner at Napa Restaurant & Bar”
