Lasema Speaking of favorites, my Spa of the Moment is the Lasema Jjim Jil Bang Spa and Sauna in Makati City. I absolutely indulged in my first time there and found it most unique of all the spas I went to. Jjim jil bang is the Korean word for "bath house." In the Land of the Morning Calm, it is commonly used to refer to a sauna facility with different types of room temperatures to give varied health benefits to the body. Thanks to the invasion of Korean culture here, kids and adults alike can now enjoy an authentic jjim jil bang experience in Manila . ... Continue Reading...
John and Yoko, Greenbelt 5
John and Yoko. John and Yoko in the still to be fully opened Greenbelt 5 is my favorite restaurant at the moment. I like it because service is fast and efficient. Most of all, menu prices are reasonable (average of P250 to P500 per head), considering the hip cosmopolitan ambiance. I just hope they stay this way even when the crowds come pouring in, as we think it would.... John and Yoko is the latest restaurant venture of movie actor Marvin Agustin who also owns Sumo Sam, Cafe Ten Titas in Gateway and Smairu at the Food Choices of TriNoMa. Met him ...

European-style Global Fun Carnival opens in Manila
DSC00284. Christmas is just around the corner which means the great carnivals are here. The bright lights of the newly-opened Global Fun Carnival at One Esplanade near the SM Mall of Asia was something I've seen while driving along Macapagal Boulevard and I instantly made a mental note to go there with the family before the holidays were over. My prayers must have been heard because one day, the amiable publicist of the theme park contacted me to try out their rides. It was something that made my kids jump with glee and we wasted no time going ... Continue Reading...
Tio Pepe’s Karinderia: Jollibee brings Pinoy home cooking to the masses
As a foodie, there's something I have to confess: I love carinderia food! At the end of the day, when you've tasted all the fancy dishes and gourmet meals, all you really want to do is grab a bite of something closer to home - not fusion, not neo-Asian, not Euro-Continental EK-EK but just something similar to what our mama/manang used to make. Carinderia food may be something we take for granted as we encounter it daily, but it is representative of our regional flavors and is therefore something we can show to tourists or visitors who are out to discover more of ...

Because pancit is my favorite dish…
Chow Mein. It is my first time to join Fampics, the monthly photo round-up of Pinoymomsnetwork. November's theme focuses on anything "plated" and this naturally necessitated a mad rush to my Flickr photo library where I have lots and lots of food pictured in bowls, saucers and of course plates! My Flickr pool is going Pro for the second straight year now, thanks to the kind donation of this philanthropist blogger who'd rather remain anonymous. You rock man! :P ... Continue Reading...
