Salcedo Market, Manila
There was one thing I was dying to do this weekend: go to the Salcedo Market. In the part years, I’ve heard so much about this event that only happens on Saturday mornings. Located along Leviste Street in Salcedo Market, Makati, this was about 10 minutes from our hotel. Since it wraps up at 2pm, I urged Hubby that we go as soon as we were done with our breakfast. And breakfast was gonna be light because I was excited to get my hands on the Salcedo Market goodies.
Tokyo Tokyo, Manila
For our first night in Manila, we decided to eat at Tokyo Tokyo. Like I mentioned in previous posts, we wanted to focus on restaurants not available in Cebu. We were staying at Intercontinental Hotel and we were pretty tired from our shopping trip earlier in the day so we decided to dine somewhere close. Intercontinental Hotel is close to so many establishments that are within walking distance so it was pretty hard to choose which one to go to.
Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City
We started the afternoon with shopping at Serendra in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. This was our first time there and I was surprised to see that it was about a 20 minute cab ride from the Intercontinental Hotel. For some reason, I always thought it was farther than that.
Le Coude Rouge, Manila
A trip to Manila always includes a trip to the Alliance Francaise. It’s located in Nicanor Garcia Street, Bel-Air 2 in Makati. After dropping our bag at Intercontinental Hotel, we took a cab to Bel-Air; takes about 15 minutes if there’s no traffic. The Alliance Francaise is comfy and I just love going through their library and seeing what they have for sale.
Wakamatsu Yakiniku, Cebu
Aside from December, August is the second most busy month our families has in the year. Birthdays, parties, celebrations, anniversaries. You name it, It’s in August.
Lechon Paksiw
What happens to leftover Lechon Baboy? Lechon Paksiw, that is. Personally, I prefer Lechon Baboy, but Hubby is the biggest fan of Lechon Paksiw. After we had the party in our house a couple of weeks ago, Hubby could not wait to get his hands on the leftover Lechon he had frozen. There was only one thing he wanted to do with it: turn it into Lechon Paksiw.
Fried Whole Tilapia
Today was a gloomy day! Not because it was raining the whole day (which it did), but because of the horrible bus-hijack incident yesterday. People on tv, radio, and online have been critiquing and giving their opinion about the event, but the real tragedy is the deaths of these innocent people. Tourists that were at the wrong place at the wrong time. One can only imagine what the survivors and the victim’s families are feeling and going through right now!
Dad’s Bruschetta
Dad and I were grocery shopping the other day when he told me that he would make Bruschetta for dinner that night.
Garden Cafe, Marriott Hotel, Cebu

We’ve been internet-deprived for almost 2 weeks now. Nothing wrong with our internet connection. But our desktop broke down from the recurring black-outs we’ve had last summer and my laptop needed to be upgraded as soon as possible. The desktop is still broken and in need to be brought at the repair shop. Thankfully, I got to upgrading my laptop first as I use it more often.
