Yesterday I finally went to Mercato Centrale at The Fort. It was my first time to go to an outdoor market. Can you believe I haven’t been to Salcedo, Legaspi or Greenhills markets yet? Mercato is just behind Serendra condominiums. We got there around 9:30 and there were lots of people already.There was sufficient paidContinue reading “What I ate and bought at Mercato Centrale”

Choco-Late’ de Batirol
Ever since my trip in Hong Kong last December where it was very cold I’ve been a little obsessed with finding good hot chocolate. Maybe it’s because of the cold weather or I’m just a chocoholic. When Florence’s hubby Peter called her to buy him a bottle of chocolate powder from Choco-Late’ de Batirol inContinue reading “Choco-Late’ de Batirol”

Anyone who goes to Baguio has to go to Good Shepherd convent to buy all sorts of yummy goodies created by the nuns.

We stayed in Baguio Country Club on our recent trip to Baguio City. It was my first time to stay there since I wasn’t a member.

La brought me to Old Town, Alexandria to try one of the most lauded restaurants in the Virginia/DC area, Restaurant Eve. The restaurant was located in a historic warehouse that the owners converted into a quaint restaurant. To get to the restaurant’s front door you have to pass through this dark hallway. The restaurant hadContinue reading “Lunch at Restaurant Eve”

My friend Ariel from San Francisco is in town and we brought him to Kanin Club yesterday for some Filipino food. Several of my friends already told me how good the food was so I was eager to try it.
