My favorite grocery store for loose leaf tea, superfood powder, herbs and spices, and a lot more. Heyday Philippines is located at Park Triangle, 11th Street, BGC. For those in this area, this is a great option to fill your cupboards. 😊 Make sure to bring your containers, bottles and jars for your refills.

Got so excited to visit the newly opened Eu' House of Tokyo. Had the chance to take photos of the grand opening and some of their products.

I love my haul! 🥰 I got a Hello Kitty backpack, an Adidas cap, a Guess pouch, cooling towels, and some beauty products.

For Japan goodies, visit Eu' House of Tokyo located at 131 Skylark Street, Strip 70 Village corner J Molina Ave. Concepcion Uno, Marikina City.

Review:
We ordered the following:
* Bagoong Rice: I love this. It's not too salty. It's flavourful. Best paired with the Tilapia Fish. Good for 2 to 3 pax.
* Tom Yum Talay (Hot & Sour Soup with Mussel, Fish, Shrimp and Squid): Just the right taste. A bit spicy but it compliments well with the sourness of the soup. All the seafoods are fresh. Good for 2 to 3 pax.
* Pla Jud Juaramit (Fried Pampano with Tamarind Sauce and Green Mango Strips): Fish flesh is soft and tasty. The tamarind sauce is sweet and a bit spicy. It compliments well with the fish. Good for 2 pax. A bit pricey.
* Kao Neiw Mamaung (Sticky Mango Rice): It's a delicious blend of glutinous rice with coconut milk. The sweetness of the mangoes makes it more appealing to my taste. I also like the presentation.

I love that there are lots of plants around. The rustic vibe adds to the beauty of the place.

Food recommendations:
GREENERY KITCHEN

I had this for 2 weeks and I must say it made me feel good about myself. Their food are delicious; you wouldn't even think it's vegetarian / vegan meals. I especially love the Malunggay Dilis, Kare Kare, Shanghai, Salpicao, Tapsilog.

Greenery Kitchen for me is the best for plant-based meals. They have the 5-day Bento Meals. For ₱1,500, enjoy your healthy lunch and dinner, delivered on a daily basis, from Monday to Friday.

Plan your travel efficiently. Here are some tips and also guidlines when flying via Cebu Pacific.

* Make a checklist of what to pack to avoid "packing anxiety"

* Fill out the Cebu Pacific check-in form: https://book.cebupacificair.com/Mobile/checkin/retrieve (optional because there's still a long queue). Online checkin is available 7 days until 4 hours prior to your flight

* Fill out the etravel form. You may only register 72 hours prior to your departure. https://etravel.gov.ph/

*Be at the airport at least 3-4 hours (for international travel) before your travel time (it's best to wait at the airport than to rush because you don't know how long the line will be at the check in counter and at the immigration) and also the traffic going to the airport.

* Weigh your bags beforehand to avoid excess baggage payment. You are allowed 1 carry on bags with a total of 7kg and 1 small bag: either bag of food that can't be checked in, laptop bag or small bag that can fit under your plane seat)

* Make sure you don't have items in your carry on bags that are prohibited. Powerbanks should be inside your carry on bag or handbag. Short cords for powerbank can be in your handbag BUT I still prefer to put it inside the check in bag to avoid hassle. 100ml liquid/cream items should be inside ziplock bags. (Will post more of this)

* Listen to announcements. Sometimes they change gates for boarding or your flight might be delayed.

Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade
When in Hong Kong, one must visit this place. May it be a morning stroll or a night walk, you will be fascinated by the cityview of the Victoria Harbour. The best time I prefer is at night, since the lights on the buildings are a spectacular sight.

Happy Birthday Marco Sison !

2nd time to do a photo session with this awesome Filipino singer for his album, posters and other ad collaterals. It was always a pleasure to click my cam.
We had the pictorial at HACIENDA ISABELLA , which was a very grand place for the photo session. This venue was a feast for a photographer's eye because every corner and every sight was appealing for a beautiful portrait.

Review:
This is my go-to resto when I crave for Laksa & Hainanese Chicken.

Hainanese Chicken Rice ₱268.00. I always choose the breast part and they give in to my request. Unlike others who serve Hainanese Chicken meal, Nanyang's is not that oily. You would know it's authentic with their dippings.

Their Laksa is very flavorful. It is spicy so you need to be cautious when order this, if you're not into hot & spicy food. It is filling and worth the price.

They just need to improve their staff's attentiveness. But they are polite and courteous.

Init sa tag araw. Summer na summer na! I've been craving for this cold dessert for months now, and I found the ONE! So, when in Greenhills Shopping Center , come and visit the best Halo-halo stall!

I can never express my delight when a friend of mine, Jenine Desiderio promoted her small business, Matteau's located at The Kitchenette, 2nd floor Shoppesville Greenhills San Juan Q.C. Yes! They also have other snacks you can try. So after shopping, make sure to have your merienda at MatTEAu's!

Their Halo-halo Supreme is 5/5! Hindi tinipid ang ingredients. No sugar added. The ice cream on top makes it creamier. And ang laki! 🥰 Definitely worth the price! Sobrang dami. What you see in my Tiktok video is the real deal!💙☀️ Thank me later!😂

Init sa tag-araw. Summer na summer na! So it's time for Filipino's popular cold dessert, Halo-halo! Visit MatTEAu's located at The Kitchenette 2nd flr. Shoppesville Greenhills.
