Relaxing Day at Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa

Around two weeks before Mother's Day of this year, my mom called me up and asked me to search for a place around or near Manila where we could relax and unwind as a family. I chanced upon Out of Town's blog on the Top 15 Summer Destinations Near Metro Manila and that was how I heard about Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa. The reviews about it were great and since it was located only in Antipolo, I have suggested that we would celebrate Mother's Day there.

Where I Stayed in Siem Reap | Steung Siem Reap Hotel

Of all the hotels I have stayed during my trips to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, Steung Siem Reap Hotel in Cambodia tops my list of the most budget-friendly accommodations offering 5-star hotel service. 

Let me share you the reasons why I was impressed by it.

KyoChon Philippines | The New Double-Fried Chicken Star?

KyoChon opened its first branch in the Philippines last April 29, 2014 at SM Megamall. Since I am a huge fan of BonChon, I was curious if KyoChon serves better double-fried chicken given that they are the pioneer of this dish in South Korea. I tagged my friend +Mc  along to find out which of the two restaurants is better according to my taste buds. So what's my verdict? Read on to find out.

King Chef | My Family's Favorite Dimsum Restaurant

Update (Oct. 11, 2015): Just yesterday, we dined again at King Chef to celebrate the birthday of one of my Titas. Their dimsum prices have been updated and the cheapest item in the menu costs Php55. Still very affordable right? The branch serving an all-dimsum menu is located at 2/F 238 Center Banawe St. The old branch is still open but has been re-branded as fine dining restaurant.

Ever since my Tita discovered King Chef in 2012, it has been one of my family's favorite restaurants. Countless lunches, dinners, birthdays and events have been celebrated here. Apart from having the best- tasting dimsum, what really hooked us with King Chef is their affordable price. Every time with dine here, we always make sure that we are within their 'Dimsum Promo Feast' time window.

So what is the 'Dimsum Promo Feast' about? Everyday from 7:00AM - 9:00AM, 2:00PM - 5:00PM and 9:00PM - 12:00MN, all their dimsum specialties are half their price! It is indeed a feast since we can order all we want without worrying how much is our total bill. :D  Here's their menu during the promo period:

Build your own pizza at Project Pie Philippines

It has been over a month since I updated my blog- a lot of back entries waiting to be written and photos waiting to be posted. I haven’t had the luxury of time to blog since I started my new work but I promised myself to catch up. Last March, I was given the opportunity to fly to Macau for a training provided by my employer. I can’t wait to share my experience since that was the first time I traveled abroad alone.  

For now, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on a much-raved pizza place which I and my sister tried last month. It has just been surprising that of all my current 16 posts, my one and only food review featuring Scarsdale Doughnuts has been the most read so I decided to write about this one. My other 15 posts are about travels and photos. I think it shows that my readers (well my friends) are more interested in my food trips rather than itineraries. Haha! Don’t worry guys, there are more to come!
