Wildflour Cafe + Bakery

Aside from Brasas, Wildflour Cafe + Bakery was the only restaurant I returned for lunch.  If you were on the cronut train, you can get your fill here as well.  Otherwise, they have exceptional salads, soups, and sandwiches too!  Great place for lunch!

Brasas & BONO artisanal gelato

Brasas was a delicious find inside the Podium Mall in Ortigas while scouting for a quick dinner.  I found the prices here very reasonable but I was later told that it's considered expensive in local standards.

Robbie's Seafood Restaurant @ Dampa Seaside

Robbie's came highly recommended from my ex-co-worker who is originally from the Philippines.  I really appreciated her recommendation as this place was so much fun and the food was so delicious!!!  And big thank you for her husband and mother-in-law came took me there despite of the infamous Manila's Friday traffic.

Weekend Getaway: Manila, Philippines (November 2013)

I was in Manila, Philippines for work in November and I finally got time to write about the little weekend trip I took to to Tagaytay and Batangas.

18 Grams & Coffee Academics

The cafe culture is so strong in Hong Kong that it is almost one of the standard activities when scheduling a meet up with friends.  At the same time, it has become increasingly difficult to find a nice and quiet place to enjoy a cup of Joe on a weekend without standing in queue or tolerating blabbering of unconcerned neighbors.  I don't know... I don't find going to cafe relaxing anymore... it's comparable to going to a dim sum restaurant, only with a younger demographics.
