Hand-Pulled Noodles from Kanzhu

What I initially thought of as a Japanese restaurant that recently opened in Marcos Hi-way, in front of McDonald’s, was actually Chinese- Kanzhu’s Hand-Pulled Noodles! We tried it out while the branch is still fresh and new. What I can say about the establishment is that it’s what you would usually expect in a typical [...]

The Wensha Experience

One great alternative to put away all that stress after a hard day’s work is to visit Wensha Spa. In my case, we visited after this month’s boss battle client- onsite wedding video and the works at the very strict Shrine of Jesus church. So the next day, I invited my friends there to have [...]

Everyday Milk Tea at Teaza

Come after office hours, anyone between me and my buds would text the others already to ask if we’re going to hang out somewhere. But leading the busy lives we now have because of work, we can’t bum around the way we do in college anymore- and most us just want to go home and [...]

Boracay Sabbatical

Last week of August- me, big bro and his friends took a 4-day vacation at Boracay Beach. Finally, I was able to go there for the first time after all the luscious stories I’ve heard from friends.

Nescafe Chocolatte: New 3-in-1 Coffee Variant

Anyone else who was able to try the new flavor of Nescafe’s 3-in-1 coffee? It’s called ‘Chocolatte‘, and as the name implies, it’s pretty much just wordplay to chocolate latte. The folks brought some home the last time they went grocery shopping, and it’s captivated me since. I don’t know if it’s either my palate [...]
