Food-ventures: Starting 2020 right with Cafe 2.0 | Healthy Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo and Keto-friendly meals, Bulletproof Coffee, and more!

So the husband and I just had our first (and healthy) brunch date for 2020 featuring: Paleo and Keto-friendly meals that are gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, and free of ingredients that are bad for you! They even offer vegan and vegetarian options upon request. Sure, Cafe 2.0's, meals are indeed healthy, but are they worth it? 🤔

Food-ventures: Kenji Tei Ramen House is not your usual ramen house

Food-ventures: Kenji Tei Ramen House, Greenbelt 5 Makati City

We've been wanting to go to Japan and South Korea (or any country actually lol) for the longest time, but unfortunately, time and budget permits because we're adulting: work, investments, and whatnot. And while we can if we really wanted to, we chose not to because of our priorities. So for now, we'd rather go to ramen houses to experience some semblance of what it's like in those countries.

Food-ventures: Ramen Nagi Philippines | We tried all 4 signature flavors in just one day!

I've always loved food. Especially noodles. Anything noodles (dry or in soup). In fact, I had a phase when I was a kid, wherein I would always eat noodle soup every single day. And now that phase is making a comeback because I'm almost always craving for either wanton noodles or ramen. I'm kinda done with wanton though, and currently, it's still ramen.

Brunch at UCC Clockwork, The Vantage Gallery Kapitolyo

Kapitolyo is one of the most popular gastronomic hubs in the country. Fortunately for us, we just live nearby so we get to indulge ourselves in good food from time to time, and even check out what's new before everybody else. Like the newly-opened The Vantage Gallery.

Okada Manila: Dancing Fountain Experience + Photo Gallery and Videos

Okada Manila | Dancing Fountain Experience + Photo Gallery

My husband and I have been hearing a lot about Okada Manila. It's quite far from where we live but since people have been raving about the dancing fountain, we just have to see it. If you haven't been there yet, check out this post to see what you've been missing

Intramuros Tour | New Bioré UV Products review + photo gallery

Last Saturday, I was given the opportunity to join a sight-seeing tour by Biore Philippines. On the day of the event, I just found out that it wasn’t just sight-seeing at all. What comes with it was a brief history of the old Manila and our National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. The fun stuff did not just end there, as I was also one of the first people who got to try the brand’s latest summer-ready products! Talk about being productive and educational, yeah?

Food-ventures: Sunnies Cafe at SM Megamall

Sunnies Cafe at SM Megamall

I had my first wisdom tooth extraction earlier this weekend. It was actually the perfect time for me to do this because of the long weekend; more time to recuperate from the procedure, plus I get to eat my favorite comfort food, Mom's Arroz Caldo! The (bloody) process which took more than an hour, our patience and most definitely, my tooth and strength, was not something to look forward to. But the one thing I did look forward though, was my dentist's advise--to eat Halo-halo, ice cream, and more cold beverages and desserts! 

Food-ventures: Breakfast at Juanita's Kapitolyo, Pasig City

Breakfast at Juanita's

#17 West Capitol Drive,

Barrio Kapitolyo, Pasig City

Yesterday, the boyfriend was supposed to meet up a colleague for work. And since they were going to meet at Kapitolyo, we decided to have lunch. Initially, we agreed on going to our favorite, Kanto Freestyle Breakfast. However, we then thought, why not try something new? So after Googling the best place to eat at Kapitolyo, we found out that Cafe Juanita was the best. We went there but when we arrived, Cafe Juanita was closed. Apparently, they're only open from 11 AM to 2:00 PM, then 5:00 PM to 10 PM. That's why we opted to go to Breakfast at Juanita's which is just beside Cafe Juanita.

Lucky's Burger & Bar
Tuscany, McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio Taguig City

Ever since the restaurants opened in Tuscany, McKinley Hill, I've only been up to a handful of restaurants like Banapple, SF Bistro, Bag-O-Shrimps and my recent addition to this seemingly growing list, Lucky's Burger & Bar.

Staycation: Hotel Amapola Rockwell, Makati City review

What: Casa Amapola

Where: 257 Amapola St., Palm Village, Makati City

(Estrella, EDSA side--take note because there's another Amapola St. near Buendia)

The boyfriend and I love having staycations for every major occasion like birthdays and our anniversary. This year, I made it a point to make it simple yet unique and memorable. I've had lots of plans in mind, like booking at a hotel in Tagaytay City or go somewhere north like in Antipolo. However, I came across this deal at MetroDeal. After thinking a lot of times, reading reviews online and failed payment transactions (Damn BPI for their on-and-off again online banking!), I finally booked it and guess what, no regrets.

Food-ventures: Banapple at Tuscany, McKinley Hill

Ever since I became on the mid shift for work, I would wake up by lunchtime and have brunch (breakfast and lunch) past 2 pm. Sometimes even at 4 pm, so when I eat, I eat a lot. This Tuesday (October 7) though, it was another impromptu brunch date with the boyfriend. Sometimes, when we're running out of time to have brunch together (because he's also on the mid shift), he accompanies me to work, then I'll spend my one hour break with him. This time, we went all the way to Tuscany Estates at McKinley Hill. Although I work just around the area, it's still a few minutes of walk, under the blazing sun...

Food-ventures: Plana's Pantry Mandaluyong

Ever since they started placing this billboard and their name just across where I live now, the boyfriend and I promised to try their food as soon as they open and as soon as we can. It was only a week ago when we saw that they are finally open! I'm talking about this super posh restaurant called "Plana's Pantry".

Food-ventures: Zark's Burgers Taft Avenue, Manila

In photo: Zark's Ultimate Burger

I have been meaning to go at Zark's to try their famous burgers for quite some time now. So finally when we were around the area (we were in World Trade Center for a shopping bazaar), we decided to go there. After shopping, both of us felt the hunger and wanted to eat something heavy--so off we went to Zark's (Taft branch)! Because when in doubt, opt for burgers!
