Café Siena, Antipolo City

Siena's Gathering Hall is one of few places in Antipolo City that offers catering services and events place. It has been in the business for ten years now and from that staying power and success sprung forth Café Siena, a little restaurant that serves downright delicious comfort food.

I am always on the lookout for homegrown restaurant here in Antipolo City to fuel my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series. Yet, such endeavor is not a walk in the park because my knowledge is limited by the fact that I have been away from my hometown for more than a decade.

Thankfully I was introduced to Café Siena via a friend's invite, otherwise, I am certainly missing something awesome. This little nook certainly bagged the top spot on my Best Restaurants in Antipolo list by far.

Let's All Go To Shakey's! #LetsShakeys

When Shakey's Philippines launched its "Let's" campaign which signifies an invite for Guests to keep coming back to their favorite fun, family pizza restaurant, I figured, how very apt. Very timely, and definitely spot on.

It was only recently when I heard my father uttered the words, "Let's all Go To Shakey's" because we all feel the need to bond over good food. And as per usual, Shakey's got us covered.

We are lucky that despite limited restaurants here in our area, we have Shakey's right smack in the heart of Antipolo City town proper. So you could probably imagine how often we hear the enthusiastic "Let's All Go To Shakey's" call when anyone in our family hankers for pizza.

Kuhala Bay Resort, Cardona Rizal

Kuhala Bay Resort located in Cardona Rizal is one of the good options for summer outing destinations if you are in search for resorts near Manila. It offers a nice and quiet place of relaxation with a beautiful view of countryside and Laguna lake. While Cardona is at the easternmost part of Rizal, just a couple of hours drive away from Manila, you will be welcomed with beautiful things that this humble municipality can offer. 

There are myriad of resorts in Rizal province and having its close proximity to Manila as the main selling point, it can be the best bet for people who loves to go on a summer outing but don't have the liberty of time to accommodate long travel hours.

This particular visit at Kuhala Bay Resort happened on a company outing, hence we reserved the entire place to ourselves for the whole day. But during regular days, Kuhala Bay is open for public. There aren't much information about this resort on the web, (no website, Facebook, etc.) so I hope this blog post may help.
