Kopi Roti Milk Toast One of the good things about dining out is that you get inspired to cook up stuff at home just because of a food you ate and tasted. Take for example Kopi Roti which I never fail to frequent when am at MOA. It has always been my favorite because of their kopi bun and their kopi with milk is the closest thing to my heaven on earth.

It's one of ... Continue Reading...

The kids and I have been hanging out of late in Mall of Asia, or MOA in local parlance. Unlike before, I have finally mastered the in's and out's of this gigantic place... but one wing only :P Eating out in any of the restaurants facing the bay is simply superb, parking is free on the boulevard and you will never run out of shops to choose from.

Though gourmands have been flocking to the hotel's weekend food offering for some time now, it was only recently that I got to try. The excellent thing is that there were no chafing dishes now commonly associated with the word 'buffet,' the food is freshly prepared in the kitchen as you ... Continue Reading...

Photo-0586 One good thing about Facebook: I can ask my friends all sorts of questions and they will happily answer. Here's my query this weekend: "what do you love to do when it's cold and raining?" (it's not what you think :P) Nina: burrowing under the covers and sleeping in. Then getting up and eating hot and very sour bowl of sinigang and tuyo Vicky: i just love watching the raindrops fall on my porch, observing the surroundings get moist and damp and watching the water flow into the drain.... Tess: Cuddle up with someone special :-) Awww...but I ... Continue Reading...
