I was craving for Pancake House Pan Fried Chicken one time and there were no Pancake House near my home and aside from that, I was tight on the budget. So to satisfy my cravings for Pan Fried Chicken, I really have to search over the Internet thinking if I could get a recipe instead. And I found one, but I was unsure if it would really taste like Pancake House’s chicken, so I decided to try it. The recipe I found required overnight marination. So I was a bit sad because I wanted to eat fried chicken that day. I thought it was just easy to make. So at that moment, I cooked something else instead....

Last November, my brother who works in Doha asked me to plan something for his vacation here in Manila. He wanted something that our whole family will enjoy as well. His vacation will fall on All Soul’s and All Saint’s Day (it’s a long weekend, so it was a perfect time for everyone). I suggested to him a place near Manila, which is the Heritage Town of Taal, Batangas. I know he’ll love it there because of the old houses and structures, which is something he likes. In my research for things to do in Taal, I stumbled upon this information about Villa Tortuga. It is a package that includes a walk and...

A good resort or a hotel becomes better if it has a fantastic chef, a culinary artist who has divine taste for food. He/she would definitely attract more tourists and food lovers alike. I say such because I believe it is part of every tourist agenda to experience local food during their travels. The more popular fast food joints becomes a mere fallback. We stayed at Amorita Resort during my visit to Bohol. It is considered one of the best resort-hotel in the province. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Ralph “Paeng” Ongchiong, who was currently assigned as head chef of the resort during...

I really love eating vegetables and one of my favorite vegetable dish is Pakbet. Pakbet is a tagalog tasty vegetable dish made-up of different fresh vegetables, pork, and shrimp paste. I know some guys out there hates it because of its one major ingredient is ampalaya or the Bitter melon. The reason why I love Pakbet is because of Ampalaya (bitter melon) and the Okra’t Kalabasa (Lady’s Fingers or gumbo and Squash), they give lots of benefits in our health. Its really hard to find a perfect vegetable dish like this especially the right bitterness of the ampalaya. Good thing I have found...

We went to Cebu to attend and witness Pasigarbo sa Sugbo’s 3rd year Festival at Mandawe City and stayed at Be Resorts (formerly Microtel Mactan) in Mactan just near Mactan – Cebu International Airport. I really prefer this time staying outside the city to experience peace & quiet environment. I just wanted to relax, and at the same time to work. Its really relaxing to stay on a place where hotel staffs are friendly, accommodating and resourceful aside from that, since the hotel is situated in Mactan, Cebu, and Cebu is really known for home furnishing crafts the hotel-resort got great...
