[2019-Oct-15] This day was supposed to be totally just a day for chores. Specifically go to several places to acquire a car part that the ‘casa’ is permanently out of stock. My car is a 20 year old Honda Civic so brand new original parts are hard to come by. I got a message the…

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Ortigas (Galleria), Quezon City
[2019-Oct-15] Just came from @NITRO7.COFFEE @robgalleriaortigas but still feel like I need more coffee (well, I used to drink a liter at a time) so dropped by @cbtlph @robgalleriaortigas to claim a Caramel Ice Blended Drink courtesy of @alwayshungryph. This branch has glass walls so easy to see who’s inside the shop and also see…
Southbank Cafe + Lounge Filinvest City, Alabang
[2019-10-08] This was one of the down-the-wire invite that I went to. Invite was posted at around 7am and I was lucky enough to be awake and able to see it. The target meetup/pickup is 9am in Makati and the cafe is located in Alabang so it was quite tight. This maybe anti-climactic but I…
Sha Tin Courtyard Chinese Bistro Banawe , QC
[2019-Sep-20] I was expecting some sort of compound and/or ‘food park’ because of the ‘courtyard’ in the name of this place and did not expect such an imposing facade. The interiors looked quite good too! The list of food to be served. I am one among those whose primary concern/criteria about places to eat (assuming…
Pastarrifico Legaspi Village, Makati
[2019-Sep-26] When I first heard that it is located at “Ayala North Exchange” I thought this mall was located somewhere in North EDSA or Monumento. I haven’t been updating myself with the new malls that have sprouted in the Metro. One thing that this place has going against it is its location. The best description/direction…
Kartel Rooftop Bar Poblacion, Makati
[2019-Oct-03] Trying to find this rooftop bar even in these times of Waze, Googlemaps, etc. can be a challenge. Unless I missed it, there was no other more visible signage except for these ‘posters’ on a wall perpendicular to the road and it is even partially obscured from the road. You can’t even read ‘Kartel’…
Abbiocco Alternative Filipino Tomas Morato, QC
[2019-July-24] Soft opening operations is a tricky thing. It allows you to operate ASAP but some unwanted compromise might arise. The place looks nice and clean. It is located on the ground floor of Metro Stonerich Corporate Center Building at Tomas Morato. It is spacious and tasteful. Lets start with what I liked most. My…
Golden Fortune CCP Complex, Pasay
[2019-Sep-27] This restaurant is the second stop in the Seascape mini-food crawl. Seascape is right beside Sofitel (where Spiral is located). There is parking available and if you will be eating in any of the restaurants there, the fee is a flat rate of 50 pesos only. Just do not forget to have your ticket…

Spiral – Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila CCP Complex, Pasay
[2019-Sep-28] The last time I ate in Spiral was before they renovated due to flooding. There were earlier opportunities to dine at Spiral but I prefer to eat with friends and/or family rather than alone and I kept postponing until schedules align. My daughters schedule is not as flexible as it used to be so…
