Objects of My Ingestion: Boracay Edition

Our holiday getaway consisted of a week by the sea and stuffing ourselves with good food. Last December, we stayed at the White House Beach Boracay to attend the wedding of two dear friends. We decided to make a trip of it and explore the island tourist traps and gastronomy. Hotel Breakfast The White House Beach offers a deluxe room for two with a quaint … Continue reading Objects of My Ingestion: Boracay Edition

Baked Krumbs’ Amazing Lemon Tarts

Sometimes, you need a pick-me-up – and that pick-me-up needs a little kick. That’s exactly what I got with these fabulous lemon tarts from Baked Krumbs. Before we even get into the taste, I want to show some love for how pretty they are. The bright yellow color of the filling put me in a sunny mood, even in the gloomy weather. And it’s framed … Continue reading Baked Krumbs’ Amazing Lemon Tarts

Objects of My Ingestion: Birthday Edition

I turned 29 this year! The only things on my agenda were to hit the beach and eat good food. I’m happy to report that I did both. Two days before my birthday, we went for a day trip to La Union. Masa by Barefoot came highly recommended, so we headed over there for lunch. We occupied a vacant table outside under the shade of … Continue reading Objects of My Ingestion: Birthday Edition

Grumpy Joe’s Must-Tries, All in One Go

The first time I dined at Grumpy Joe, it was a newly opened, hole-in-the-wall place with a respectable ten-or-so tables. That was about eight years ago. Grumpy Joe as we know it today has grown remarkably, now with two large branches plus a third in La Union. Amid many changes (Their original branch along Leonard Wood has since shut down) the vibe hasn’t changed. Grumpy … Continue reading Grumpy Joe’s Must-Tries, All in One Go

Seollem Cafe serves Korean Food, Drinks, and Aesthetics

Sometimes I look back at that first lockdown back in March of 2020, and I know I’m not alone in having binge watched Crash Landing on You. I don’t drink coffee, so I never got on the dalgona bandwagon, but the K-drama series offered a bit of comfort and levity in a scary time. CLOY fans will be thrilled to discover Seollem Cafe – a … Continue reading Seollem Cafe serves Korean Food, Drinks, and Aesthetics

Even More Sweets in Baguio

If you’re like me, you always have room for dessert. Lucky for us, some of the best restaurants in Baguio offer sweet endings in the form of pastries, cakes, and other sugary delights. Here are some of my favorites so far: Canto is probably best known for their Lomo Ribs – and for good reason! But don’t miss out on their other offerings. I’m a … Continue reading Even More Sweets in Baguio

Get Your Next Lobster Dinner from Shrimp Pirate

I wrote about The Shrimp Pirate a few months back in my Calle Uno Food Hub post. We chowed down on their shrimp and mussel rice meals with just the right cajun kick to wake up your senses. The airy (and therefore safer than indoor) dining experience is great, but sometimes, it’s better to keep the party at home. At-home gatherings can still be plenty … Continue reading Get Your Next Lobster Dinner from Shrimp Pirate

Tempting Treats from The Cookie Box Baguio

When it comes to food for celebrations, we all love a good cake. But there’s nothing wrong with straying from tradition once in a while. One of my favorite alternatives (that still satisfies the sugar craving) is cookies. Cookies don’t require a plate for each serving, and it’s easy to get a variety of flavors to try in one go. In fact, that’s exactly what … Continue reading Tempting Treats from The Cookie Box Baguio
