We didn’t prepare an “eat-tinerary” on our second visit in Maginhawa Street (first time was way back in 2013) because the only thing we wanted to do, was to eat, a lot. Walking a few blocks under the scorching heat of the sun, Karen, a friend living near Maginhawa mentioned this new place that offers…
Pusô, famous as hanging rice, is probably one of the best innovations in Cebu due to its affordability and convenience when it comes to pairing it with some local food. These qualities perhaps are the reasons why Quest Hotel opened its Pusô Restaurant, to offer excellent meals conveniently to its guests on very reasonable prices….
First encounter with Planet Grapes happened during my participation in the Awesome Secret Foodies Tour in McKinley Hill organized by Anton Diaz way back in 2013. We were allowed to sample one each from the red and white wines available. I tried a Merlot and a Muscato. From then, I’ve never been to the wine…
Fiesta is one of the colorful events in the life of Filipinos because it serves as venue to reunite with friends and relatives.

Prior to Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2015, I was hoping that the restaurant will be included in the itinerary as I was eager to try other meals I wasn’t able to order during my first visit.

Summer heat infiltrated the pool deck of Marco Polo Davao as kids cheerfully swim in the hotel’s lap pool. I searched for my shades to cover my eyes from the pervasive rays of the sun and found comforts inside Polo Bistro Pool Lounge.

Surprisingly, a Vikings outlet will set to open in SM Cebu within the year. For now, Vikings Luxury Buffet SM Lanang is a…
