Ever since I started working from home, lunch has always been the easiest thing to neglect. Most days, I relied on leftovers, a bowl of oatmeal with raisins and nuts, or nothing at all if a nap felt like the better choice. It wasn’t ideal, but it was convenient, and convenience usually won. Then one aimless scroll on TikTok changed that. I came across the … Continue reading My Latest Obsession: Soup Kits 🍜🍜
A review of Jjang Kae Jjang Kae #109 Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City I’ve always wanted to try jjajangmyeon. I was curious about its dark color and bold look, especially after seeing it so many times in K-dramas. It always made me wonder, “What does that actually taste like?” Then, out of nowhere, my TikTok feed was suddenly flooded with jjajangmyeon and Jjang Kae reviews (algorithm … Continue reading The Time I Finally Gave In to Jjajangmyeon
The holidays have officially kicked off — and for me, that means one thing: it’s time to begin my Starbucks Traditions journey once again. This year’s theme, Invite Joy, couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s been a challenging year for many Filipinos. Typhoons, earthquakes, corruption, and loss have tested our spirit more times than we can count. Yet, somehow, we always find a … Continue reading Starting My 2025 Starbucks Traditions Journey: A Season of Joy in Every Sip
Sundays are made for slow mornings, good food, and little surprises. Today was one of those days when we thought we had a plan, but somehow, Jollibee found its way into it. We originally set out to try Donya Desserts in Fairview, curious to see if the hype was real. After picking up three boxes of assorted pastries (which, by the way, did not disappoint), … Continue reading Why Jollibee Brings Us So Much Joy
Yesterday was Zaki’s JS prom. We brought him and his partner Bella to school, and since we also had to fetch him afterwards at 11pm, we decided to kill time at the mall. We chose to have dinner at Pho Hoa /My Thai, thus the Phoa-nomenal title. Lol. It worked, right? Our family not only loves Mexican food but is also passionate about Vietnamese and … Continue reading A Phoa-nomenal Evening
Valentine’s Day is still a week away, but we stuck to our tradition and had our lunch date today. Why wait for the crowds, chaos, and overpriced everything when we can enjoy a quiet meal together instead? The kids opted out (sigh of relief—no complaints here! lol), so we headed to SM Fairview for a lunch date at Yayoi. Yayoi is a teishoku restaurant, named … Continue reading Going Japanese on Valentines
I decided to dedicate a blog category to restaurant reviews because we love good food, and I can’t resist sharing my thoughts about it—whether you’re curious or not! 😄 Bakit ba? Gusto ko e. My reviews will mostly focus on whether we enjoyed the food or not, and I’ll rate it using chef emojis 👨🍳 based on TASTE. Of course, taste is subjective, so it’s … Continue reading A Sunday at Pino
Now back to regular programming… I have read from a Facebook post that there’s going to be a Maginhawa Food Festival on the 11th of October in celebration of Quezon City’s 75th Anniversary. We have been frequenting this area so many times in the past. The first resto I’ve tried here is Pino and how I loved their Iced Tea, well actually Pino is in … Continue reading Now Back to Regular Programming
