Missed Opportunity
March 8, 2012
Puerto Del Sol boasts as the only Department of Tourism (DOT) accredited resort in Bolinao, Pangasinan. With lousy food and unimpressive rooms, the resort does not give justice to the distinction.

Tamagoya! Noodle House
March 1, 2012
In Metro Manila, Ramen Houses are a dime a dozen (each house selling noodle bowls that unfortunately cost dozens and dozens of dimes). Thus writing about one is as inspiring as writing about a run-of-the-mill pandesal bakery. But there is one Ramen House in Antipolo that is worth blogging about because of its seemingly ridiculous location, and – surprisingly – the excellence of its reasonably-priced noodle dishes.

Mediterranean Fix
February 24, 2012
Singapore has its share of themed restaurants, mostly Japanese-themed ones, wherein different food stations offer certain types of cuisine. I was surprised when I stumbled upon a Mediterranean-themed restaurant in the basement of Orchard Central. Aptly called Medzs, it offers sumptuous delights from Morocco, Spain, France, Turkey, Greece and Italy.

Welcome to Patar Beach
February 20, 2012
Get out of your comfort zone and spend the summer in Pangasinan. If you are a beach enthusiast, then you will enjoy Patar Beach, one of the best beaches in the province, if not the best, in the scenic town of Bolinao. Best of all, a grand time will be had for free.
Island-hopping in Alaminos. More fun in the Philippines.

Family Adventure That is Light on the Pocket

Pangasinan has its own share of tourist spots. For beaches and fabulous sunsets, the town of Bolinao is it. For spiritual tourism, the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag attracts both the devotees and the curious. For an exhilarating island hop experience, nowhere else but in The Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos.

Chasing the Sun
February 1, 2012
February is here and we know what that means. Valentine’s Day need not be the usual candlelight dinner nor couples’ night in the spa. It can simply be gawking at the marvelous sunset to end another fulfilling day.

Cafe Juanita definitely provides a superb impression.

While most tourists trek to the Tops in Busay to get a nice peek of Cebu City, some book at Marco Polo Hotel in Lahug to obtain a more relaxing panoramic view of the city with a bonus of a gastronomic breakfast buffet.
