Birthday Pics Originally uploaded by annalyn. With the twins out on their field trip and almost all of my close friends off on their long vacation, it didn't look like an eventful birthday for me. Good that Z, who contributes for the Inquirer, decided to tag me along to a food tasting trip to breezy Tagaytay. If there's something that gonna entice me to leave everything behind, that's the smell of food and especially if it's something I haven't tried... like Greek food! After what seemed like an effortless trip, we arrived at Mano's Greek Taverna by ... Continue Reading...
… & a lil boozing at Dusit’s Fiesta San Miguel
SaN Mig Originally uploaded by annalyn. Immediately after my Tagaytay food trip, I headed off to Dusit Hotel in Makati to meet my fellow Blogkadas led by Sachiko who planed in from Tokyo with her husband Michiyo. A few months ago, I met Sachi in Japan and so I was naturally excited to see her in town this time. First thing, she raved about how much she enjoyed her Bora vacation, the second honeymoon with hubby in their 20 years or so of marriage (whew!) And I was titillated to find out that during her Philippine homecoming, Sachi had chosen to stay in the ... Continue Reading...
Lasang Pinoy 3: Quiapo Street Food
Quiapo2 Originally uploaded by annalyn. The Pinoy food blogging event Lasang Pinoy focuses this month on "street food" and I thought what better way than to focus on one of my favorite public places in Manila: Quiapo. Although the nouveau riche would rather hang out in the sanitized confines of Greenbelt, I agree with Carlos Celdran when he said that "Quiapo shows you what Manila truly is ... dirty, noisy, colorful and full of soul." Maybe because the place is so rife with contradictions. As I've said before: where else can you find a Church where they ... Continue Reading...
Sweets for My Sweet Tooth
Somebody at work asked if dinner - namely the food laid on our table - was good and I had all energy to reply: "Masarap sya. Tikman mo! " (It's delicious, taste it!) After which a colleague of mine teasingly said: "Pleaaaase. Don't ask Annalyn anymore. Everything with her tastes good." Hehe. I have to admit she gave me some food for thought there. I am actually wishing I was taking an appetite suppressant or something. My consolation is the fact that am not gaining weight (sexy pa rin daw..hmmp!), maybe because of my freakin' work sked and all those late-night ... Continue Reading...
I want my KopiRoti!
kopiroti Originally uploaded by annalyn. My former boss invited me over to check out a coffeeshop specializing in Singapore breakfast specialties ~ a newly-opened outlet actually owned by the family of an officemate of ours. After partaking of their menu items in one sitting, I can very well say I can't just get enough of their breads, tea and coffee. It's my newfound addiction, and the only thing that's keeping me from going to this cozy kopitiam every single day is that it's in faraway Quezon City. The star of the show is undoubtedly the kopi bun which is like a ... Continue Reading...
