We have plenty of Japanese restaurants in the city, but none really specialises in making authentic Japanese Ramen. Well, there’s one in the weekend market in DC Cruz that volunteers from OISCA, an International organisation, makes. But, they only cook ramen every weekend.

I’ve always thought that cooking involved about 15 ingredients, an oven, a stove, at least 5 pots or pans, and a drawer of kitchen tools. But, I was dead wrong because I found out, around late last year, that cooking […]

Danjugan Island – you’ve probably already heard of it and seen it in pictures like I have. I haven’t been to the place, but friends say it’s a piece of heaven on earth. FYI, if your idea of paradise is a commercialized island with a booming nightlife, this is not for you. But, if you want to […]
Roli’s Cafe – I think it was more of Roli’s Diner back then. I can’t remember eating at the place when I was younger, but my parents do, and they say that it was one of the most popular places to eat. I asked my mom (who also loves to eat and cook) what Roli’s Cafe dishes were […]
So, this is interesting: fluorescent light can be harmful to your skin and the environment.

Believe it or not, I drink an average of 3-4 cups of coffee per day. This has been consistent ever since I can remember. But, of all the coffees I have tasted, I never really thought if what I was drinking is a GOOD cup of Joe or not. I would thumbs-up most because of the […]

After a long day at work or even after a long week, sometimes, all you need to fix your melancholy mood and physical malaise is a trip to the spa. However, from my personal experience, it’s difficult to find a spa that: Is accessible to me since I live in the Upper East area of the […]
