Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge at The Fort

Stepping inside Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge during dinner time could give you an illusion that you are transported in some place where mafia-like gentlemen on their sleek coats hold a glass of hard drinks on one hand, and the rest of the world on the other. Although tagged as one of the hippiest place to party come late night where beers and cocktail drinks come in a full swing to take center stage, when it comes to food, Relik means serious business.

Tucked at the second floor of Commercenter Building at The Fort, Relik exudes an aesthetically pleasing ambiance in a rustic kind of way.  Its interior laden with vintage stuff which further makes the place classy without overbearing. Truth be told, the place can be a bit intimidating at a glance, but once you settled on your seat and start the feast of the palate, in a blink of an eye, it is suddenly there ~ the sense of belonging.

LuLu Restaurant at Rockwell

The delicate hue of the lobster meat pontifically sitting on top of pureed avocado with its peaceful shade shyly announcing its presence against the immaculate back drop was a sight to behold.  The glinting caviar on top serves as its crown in which well deserved glory was bestowed.  The creamy taste of the ripe avocado introduced me to the season when it was picked at its perfect ripeness which further nudged the lobster into tasting like the sea in a beautiful summer afternoon.  

We have just started with our amuse bouche at LuLu Restaurant one Saturday afternoon in Rockwell and I am already blown away.

Located at the ground floor of Joya Tower in Rockwell, LuLu Restaurant offers variety of dishes in beautifully executed fusion of flavors leaving their diners with choices to fit their lifestyle. I would love for you to stay with me and read on, but please don't say that I didn't warn you because this post spells, FOOD PORN.

Lifestyle: Spa Journey at Toccare Spa, Best Western Antel Spa Suites in Makati City

Amidst busy schedules and maddening workloads, I believe that nothing beats a blissful 4.5 hours of spa journey sealed by delectable dinner. Spa and gastronomical adventure in one could spell heaven on earth in my book. That was what my mother and I experienced at Toccare Spa.

Aptly called "Half-day Spa Experience", it is one of the spa packages offered by Tocarre Spa in which trained spa specialists will design specific package from their line of spa services in one session that suits the need of their guests.

To complete the entire spa journey that lasts for approximately 4.5 hours, delectable set of meal will be served after. I have experienced quite a number of spa services but nothing beats the one I had at Toccare. If you want to know how my spa journey went with my mom, I suggest that you read on.
