The 5 star Conrad Manila is just six months old but already houses many treasured memories. For one, it's currently the lucky home of the world's tallest and fairest, Miss Universe 2016 candidates. Another gem to discover for foodies is the restaurant China Blue by celebrity chef Jereme Leung.

Our bunch of bloggers were told to gather early at Robinsons Selections in Venice Piazza Mall with instructions clear beforehand.

Like most moms, grocery shopping is a therapy for me. I get a kick out of scouting for new ... Continue Reading...
