Just a heads-up: last two days to catch the Authentic Flavours of Thailand promotion over at Marco Polo Ortigas' all-day dining restaurant Cucina, if you're hankering for real Thai food this weekend. Two Bangkok-based chefs were especially flown in for the week-long event. They are Chefs Sunisa Nualthongkaew and Watcharavee Rujechotiphat. They held a cooking demo and will prepare well-loved Thai dishes for all diners of Cucina. Among these are popular classics like pad thai, goong sa rong (deep fried prawns in vermicelli), tom yung goong & this delicious green ... Continue Reading...
Jamie’s Italian Restaurant in Kuta Beach, Bali
.... and so it came to pass that I spent my birthday having lunch with Emilie's daughter, Patricia, in Jamie's Italian Restaurant fronting Kuta Beach in Bali. It was just an ordinary day for me, I try not to be sentimental about it. There's no denying and whining about the fact that I have AGED (like fine wine, mind you, and not stinky like blue cheese! lol). But since birthdays are mandated to be special, I spent it at Jamie's Italian which was my favorite resto for the trip (not having explored much...). I've always liked Jamie Oliver's recipes posted in ... Continue Reading...
First time in Bali for the Fitness Weekend 2015!
I sorely needed an excuse to go to the island-paradise of Bali. For starters, I haven't been to Indonesia...and Bali is the place to be, for sure!

In fact, it's like hitting two birds with one stone! :) A little background: I really enjoyed going to Zumba classes this year. As I've found out in indoor cycling, working out with a group is the ... Continue Reading...

Hanging out in coffee shops all day can be detrimental to your wallet, that's for sure. Just imagine how consuming espresso-laden concoctions can translate to money in one year.

It's introductory price of only P1,999 is just the equivalent of about 3 weeks of loading up on your favorite latte or Americano in the coffee shop. This official photo from Nescafe ...

Frank & Dean, Forbes Town Center BGC
I've been loving hanging out in Frank & Dean (or Frank X Dean) lately. The ambiance is cool and I super love the service. I don't have the words 'blogger' written on my forehead but I just dig how they let me power my gadgets for free and one time they event lent a charger for my Samsung phone. How many establishments can actually do that? Regardless of the food or the pricing, good service really racks up points in a customer's memory. So I figure that if I were a full-time digital nomad, I'd be hanging out in Frank & Dean all day. Except that I'll totally fatten ... Continue Reading...
