I was very contented with my non-smart (thus, wifi incapable) phone for a few months, until I went to Kuala Lumpur with friends. One friend has an iPhone and the other one has a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Every time we got into a place with wifi, we stop talking to each other because both of [...]
These past few weeks, I’ve been craving for Japanese dishes. Fortunately, there’s Manpuku near my place. Unfortunately, because it is so accessible, I’ve been eating a lot and gained weight! Here’s my favorite, thanks to a friend who recommended this to me. I’m wary of trying out Japanese food here in Singapore, having been disappointed [...]
I finally came around to writing about the last part of my travel to Paris and Portugal last February! I only spent 7 days and 6 nights in Portugal but as I looked out from my hotel room, I knew I was going to miss the place. Who wouldn’t miss the place with such a [...]
For the past months, I’ve been under a lot of pressure and stress at work and other personal issues. When I reach my bedroom each day, I wish for a bigger bed adorned with peacock alley luxury bedding and really soft pillows. A surround sound system would be great, too, so that I could listen [...]
My friends and I found a great deal online for a day tour in Batam, Indonesia months ago. Sorry, it took a while for me to sort out the photos. Lunch was included in the tour package, at the Golden Prawn Restaurant. I love sea food so I enjoyed the lunch a lot! That seafood [...]
I found this in one of the grocery stores in Lisbon. It’s some kind of a chocolate-coated biscuit made in Spain. I wanted to buy one but in the end, decided not to because I thought it would be weird…. a Filipino eating chocolate-coated Filipinos.
It’s been almost two weeks since my last post! It has been really crazy at work that I often work from home. Using my brain for more than 12 hours a day has even taken out the inspiration to write something here. The worse thing is I was not able to occasionally upload my entries [...]
It was almost 3PM when I arrived at the Hotel Real Oeiras. I was satisfied with the in-flight meal, but I was starving after I settled down in my room. I rested for a while then headed down to the hotel’s charming restaurant. I wanted to eat rice but there was none on the menu, [...]
The ramen houses here in Singapore that serve really delicious ramen is far from my place. I don’t want to spend 13SGD and still be unsatisfied. Finally, I found a Chinese substitute for ramen: Yum-yan! Every food court has a stall that serves yum-yan. Still, not all serve delicious yum-yan. But at least there’s one [...]
It has been only a few days since I left Singapore. Yet, I miss rice meals. I just could not take any more sandwiches. There’s not much good pasta choices either so sometimes I just eat fruits. I don’t know if I would be happy with it but I’m pretty sure I have shed a [...]
“Seikou” is a Japanese word that means success. To mark my completion of the GM diet programme, and because this blog has been looking so gloomy lately due to lack of visuals, here’s a feast for your eyes and mine. Taken at a Japanese restaurant here in Singapore. This one’s my favorite, probably more than [...]
Like my friends from Japan who also moved here, I’ve tried out ramen at different Japanese restaurants. Nothing tasted like, not even close to the ones in Japan. Not until early this evening. I met some friends for a special dinner (two of them are getting married on October 8th), and we went to “Tampopo” [...]
