Darkness arrived early in Hanoi, not because of winter solstice but nimbus clouds hovering the city. A tropical depression will be joining us on our Hanoi Evening Street Eats food tour, our guide stated. I was the first one to arrive at Silk Path Hotel followed by an American and two Canadian couples. At first,…
If you’ve noticed on most food posts on this blog, I am thrilled when a restaurant or eatery offers soup. I’m really fascinated with soups especially those that are beef broth-based. When I planned to visit Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, I was so excited because the city, and country in general, is famous for hefty bowls…
The Common Room Project is in District 5 which means the place is far from the known Pham Ngu Lao. I arrived in the city late afternoon from Cu Chi Tunnels so I decided to check the busy street. The walk started from Park 23/9 where the buses converge. At one corner, I found the entwining…

We were impressed when our orders arrived. At Php70, you can enjoy an invigorating cup of delicately prepared coffee, in the far-flung areas of Bukidnon….
When I attended Davao Food Appreciation Tour last May 2015, Missy Bon Bon was part of the food itinerary but they only served gelato for the participants. Some availed breads and pastries but I can’t recall if their shop in Davao serves all-day breakfast meals. On our short stay in Cagayan de Oro City, we…
Sunday food trippers are back! And our latest target to score and check foodstuff is the newest and now the biggest shopping mall in the Visayas, SM Seaside City Cebu. Several restaurants are already catering mall goers yet most stalls are not yet open. With these restaurants, we didn’t want to worry where to eat…
Most of my travels include a food trip to uncover restaurants and cafes that are only available in that destination. I’m freak in listing down places to eat before trips.
