A quick summer get away

Forgot to blog about our quick summer (or is it post summer already?) getaway last month in Subic.  Since I am preggy, we cannot go to Boracay or Guam as promised to the little girl who loves frolicking in beaches.  We instead decided to have a quick weekender in Subic with some friends.  We stayed at Subic Holiday Villas and we a had fun albeit very brief vacation.

We got  2 villas for us and we were quite happy with them.  There was a mini kitchen, veranda, living room set, 2 TV sets and a mini dining table.  The adults played poker the whole time while the kids were swimming in the pool.  The pool was only a few feet away from our veranda thus, we were able to check on them all the time.

Rockwell's Multiply Bazaar

hurry!!  hurry!!  The bazaar ends tomorrow, July 11.  One will surely find treasures in this collaboration of  Multiply sellers.  Am sooo going . . .

Food trip Part 1

As eating is one of my all time favorite thing to do, I have discovered sumptous treats all around the Metro.  This food trip blog is dedicated to helping one find great treats just around the corner.  Mind you, these are personal favorites of mine and may not apply to everyone's taste buds :)


1. Best Buffet: (Splurge): Spirals at Hotel Sofitel (formerly Westin Philippine Plaza) Php 1828 net for a lunch buffet.  I personally love their Chinese spread (yummy Peking duck) and their cheese platters

(Save:) Dad's Buffet:  For only Php 700, one can enjoy the fusion of Filipino (Kamayan), Japanese (Saisaki) and Continental (Dad's) dishes. 


2. Best Steak - I used to think Angus was the best til I tried Wagyu steak. One can have a Grade 8 Premium Rib Eye for around Php 3K at The House of Wagyu in Podium or try their Wagyu at Melo's and you can't go wrong.  You may also opt to go to Salcedo Market during weekends and you just might stumble upon slices of Wagyu for about Php 300/piece.  Just don't overcook it.


3. Best Fried Chicken - Max's all the way for me!!


4. Best Japanese Food - Sugi in Greenhills or Inagiku in Makati Shangri la.


5. Best Filipino Food - my personal choice would be Fely J's in Greenbelt 5 or Abe in Serendra or Trinoma.  One should try Abe's binukadkad na pla-pla and sinuteng baby squid.  Pair these with their dilis rice for a sumptuous treat.


6. Best Chinese Food - Choi Garden in Annapolis Street or any of the authentic Chinese resto in Binondo would be my bet


7. Best street food (isaw, barbecue, chicken tails etc,) - Grill Queen


Now, I'm alloting a separate blog for the best desserts out there.  Dessert time is the highlight of any meal for me thus, it would be wise to dedicate a whole blog for these.
