Chuck's Deli, Eastwood City

Daryl and I could have entirely different opinions at times. She's got the love for Chuck's Deli whereas I was madly disappointed. Really. Usually when it comes to food we generally see eye to eye but this is one of the exceptions.

The interior reminded me of a fire station. The bricks, the windows, and how it was roaring with red. 

Pret-A-Manger

There are THREE things you must do when in Hong Kong. 

Number one: Eat at Ocean Empire (click HERE!)

Number two: Eat a true blue HK egg tart, with fresh orange juice (click HERE!)

Number three: Eat at the Brit sandwich franchise, PRET-A-MANGER. 

They have the best. Sandwiches. Ever.

Not to mention they have extremely wonderful YOGURT!!!

Yogurt cup with honey, bananas, and granola

 German Meatball wrap: meatball, Emmenthal, onion, oregano, chili tomato sauce

Cafe by the Ruins, Baguio, AGAIN :)

My mom and I went to Baguio last weekend to attend a close family friend's engagement. We also had to fulfill some very important business: eat at Cafe by the Ruins!!!

Since I only had my sad Cybershot camera with me the last time I was at Cafe by the Ruins, this time, I fully took advantage of my new s95. Which is like, only the BEST, most value-for-money camera the world has ever seen. Ever. It's portable, light, easy to use (virtually idiot-proof), takes great photos, and has a long camera life. I am in love with it.

Enjoy the photos! :)

So this is the entrance....

Mercato Centrale: One Last Hurrah with My Tankers.

I once called myself a DLSU Green Tanker.


So.. what is a tanker? A dedicated swimmer who wakes up in time for 5:30am training every weekday. Training isn't just all about swimming, there's gym, running, and water polo too. But there's still a lot more to it, there are bonds and friendships. And the last two things the most important.


The Saturday morning before I left, my friends and I had a bloody good pig out session at Mercato Centrale.* It's no secret how much we love to eat. Chances are, whenever you see a "food trip" post, I was with the tankers. They're so keen to try new things which makes everything an adventure.**


There were no breaks, everybody was overly full. Two thumbs up.

#1 Manang's Chicken
I liked it a lot! The sesame seeds made everything ultimately Asian. Though I liked it, I my heart still goes to Bon Chon. (click here and here) But for the price, I definitely have to give props!:)

Airplane/Airport Eats, Part 1

So I said I wouldn't post any photos from my new camera until I'd posted all my other photos (from previous meals out) but I just can't bear the thought of making blog entries with less than divine pictures.* Thus, here I am, blogging with sharp, high-quality photos! You like? :D 

I swear, this was the best trip ever. It's been exactly a year since I've last been to HK (which is only my FAVORITE city in the world**) and 7 months since I've gone to Chinaland. So it was a lot of fun! I loved spending time with my grandparents. They are the absolute sweetest... And (most of) the food was FABULOUS!

FABULOUS (with some exceptions) FOOD I ATE AT THE AIRPORT/ON THE PLANE

 (I'm rediscovering my love for lists***)

1. In the Cathay Pacific Lounge in Manila: finger sandwiches. Ham and cheese, pimiento and cheese, chicken. The best was the pimiento and cheese. Everything else was ho-hum!
