coco murals2 Merriest Easter greetings to all. If everything works out well (that means waking up early), me and the kiddies will be having brunch today at this little mall resto I discovered recently.. a coconut-inspired cafe in the middle of the concrete jungle that is the mall in EDSA Shang-ri La. Upon first setting my eyes here, I have to admit that the place attracted me because of its cheery interiors, the bright, hippie-inspired murals plastered on its walls, blaring 60s funky music and its offerings ~ pancakes, shakes, omelets and more which are ...

Malcolm's Place menu O-k-a-y, it's Holy Week now and Good Friday soon but please just allow me this little post on the nice Wagyu beef meal I had at this resto we stumbled upon right after the Blog Awards called Malcolm's Place.

My journalist-friends and I were talking about how this ... Continue Reading...

While languishing in front of our computers, some of us were showered with a One-Day Gift Pass to spend on one dish of our choice at Max's which is famous in the Philippines for their crispy fried chicken. Since am a breakfast person, I couldn't let this one go and ordered for five free coupons from the publicist who was gracious enough to email and deliver the passes right to my doorstep. ...

Cello's doughnuts While munching on our yummy KK giveaways after the last BlogCon, Karla and Aaron clued me in on this great doughnut place found in the university towns of La Salle and Ateneo. I made a mental note to visit whenever I got anywhere near Vito Cruz and was glad to do so one sunny day. Certainly I didn't regret one bit munching on this doughnut brand - an all-Filipino concoction which could give Western donut chains a run, run,run for their money. I ordered two of the house bestsellers, the cheese and Oreo donuts with brewed coffee. The ... Continue Reading...
