On my first day in Metro Manila, I met up with my college friends Flisha {Random Detox} and Jefrey. We were supposed to have dinner in Kanin Club at the Ayala Triangle in Makati City but the queue was so long (“Still? It’s been two years!”) that we decided to look for another place in […]
Trader Joe’s Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter {Foodee}
Yay, it’s Friday again! Today’s Filipino Food Friday post is technically not a Filipino food, but it is currently popular in the Philippines, so it can still count! LOL! When my friend Chi came to Singapore for a vacation last week, she excitedly informed me and Gelle that she had a special pasalubong (present from […]
Pan de Manila Chocolate con Leche
Hello! It’s Filipino Food Friday once again! When Gelle went to the Philippines last time, she met up with our friends Chi and Ngangi in Tagaytay.

My P&G Groups
Day 3 of my Manila vacation actually began with the last part of my day 2 entry, with me in Starbucks. When I got back to Caloy’s place after that, I found it ablaze with lights so I thought he was in, but he wasn’t. Apparently we had left everything turned on and didn’t notice […]
Cheat Day: Chicharon + Dinuguan + Awfully Chocolate Cake
Every week, we allot one day for cheating on our diet. It’s usually on a weekend but this week, we moved our cheat day to Tuesday because we were too excited to eat the Lapid’s chicharon and Goldilock’s dinuguan that I got as pasalubong from my friends. Chi bought an Awfully Chocolate choco fudge cake and […]
