It’s been a while since I last posted. I was sick with “tamaditis” (laziness) and my PLDT Fibr connection was down for 12 days! I called multiple times a day and it took posting on Twitter to finally get a technician to my house. It was fixed quickly. It was just getting somebody too checkContinue reading “Rambla’s Lunch Menu”

Paella at Calderon
I don’t know why it took so long for me to eat at Calderon when it’s so near where I live. It took Rochelle’s post birthday celebration for me to finally know what I’ve been missing.
Donosti Pintxos y Tapas
When I went to Europe last year my favorite place for food was the coastal city of San Sebastián or Donostia in Spain. From Michelin 3 star Akelaŕe to pintxos bar hopping I just loved all the unique dishes that tasted familiar yet surprising.

Tapas at Ibiza Beach Club, Mövenpick Hotel Mactan

Barcelona: Tapas 24 & Magic Fountain of Montjuïc
My dreams of dining at El Buli will never be realized now that the famous restaurant of Ferran Adrià has closed it’s doors.

San Sebastian: Gran Bar La Espiga and Rojo Y Negro
Goodbye San Sebastian! These were our last meals in the city that topped the poll as the greatest gastronomic destination in the world.

San Sebastian: Pintxos Bar Hopping
As I mentioned before San Sebastian is well know for all the Michelin Starred restaurants but it’s also very popular for pintxos (pinchos) or tapas. You can say we went to San Sebastian just to EAT!
