“NOOOOOOO!!!” The dreaded day has come: our last full day in Bali! If you have read my previous posts about our honeymoon in Bali, you’d know by now how hard Mike and I have fallen in love with this beautiful island. It even came to a point where we were seriously pondering on purchasing our …
Wine in tubes?! Well, that’s new! That’s what I thought too, until I learned that this has actually been around since 2007! The concept originated from Bordeaux and was created by an oenologist and a sommelier with the aim of preserving the freshness of wine. I found out that as soon as a wine bottle …
How do I describe a place like La Favela? I would probably describe it as “indescribable.” I know, that’s just lazy (and unimaginative) but really, it’s hard to describe a bar and restaurant that looks like a tropical garden, an antique junkyard, a vintage museum, a Brazilian casa, and a ritzy taproom with all sorts …
Ciao! One day, I will go to Italy. That is the dream. For now, I will just make Italian Chicken. Before I made this dish, I didn’t know that it was going to be called “Italian Chicken.” All I knew was that I had chicken, butter, spaghetti sauce, and cheese in my fridge and I …
Seminyak is sooo different from the previous areas we stayed in during our Bali trip. Unlike the traditional and artsy town of Ubud with its arts and crafts, cultural dances, and rice terraces, and the sleepy town of Jimbaran with its fishing villages and seafood restaurants by the beach, Seminyak is much busier and more …
One time, I found myself wide awake at 5:00 in the morning. I tried going back to sleep, but I just kept tossing and turning in bed. I finally gave up trying, went to the kitchen to get a drink, and out of nowhere, this random thought came to me: “Why don’t I make some carrot …
Maybe it was honeymooners’ luck that led us to book a villa in a quiet part of Seminyak, away from the main road where all the famous restaurants are. From where we were staying, we were just a hop, skip, and jump away from what became our favorite restaurant in Seminyak: Warung Kultur! Warung Kultur is a …
I almost never find myself in Alabang unless I need to go there for work. I also wouldn’t purposely travel all the way there on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and endure the heavy traffic just to have lunch. What for? I can have lunch somewhere closer! But how can I say no to an invitation …
Our 8th day in Bali was a full one! A visit to the expansive rice terraces and THREE temples all in one day used up all our energy and WE NEEDED TO EAT! So that night, we had dinner… not once but TWICE! Trying Babi Guling at Warung Men Agus I was really curious about Babi …
Fly away to Neverland as you look at the photos from Luis Alfonso‘s Peter Pan and the Lost Boys-themed baby shower! Alessa, one of my dearest long-time friends (since fifth grade, yo!) and her hubby Jigger are expecting their little boy to come out soon so friends and family members joined in on the adventure! They baby …
