Of Container Van Rooms, Chicken Tim, Sky Eye, Cheese Tarts, and Koi

It was supposed to be just a random road trip, this drive to Tagaytay City. Then in a blink of an eye, I found our group scouting for place like a headless chicken where we could spend the night. Warm bed after a nice shower isn't a bad idea so no one opposed. The thing is, it was a holiday - all hotels we could think of were fully booked. 

There's really nothing much to write about Tagaytay Haven Hotel save for the fact that it saved us from spending the night in the car like homeless runaway kids and that it is probably one of the most affordable hotels in Tagaytay.

But nope, no glaring review here, no rants either. It just served its purpose during our stay, no more no less.

A Revisit to Lola Cafe and Bar, Quezon City

I have blogged about Lola Cafe and Bar in Quezon City way back and have paid them a visit several more times after that. Some with old time friends, others with family, and the recent one which I am writing about right now was with some of my favorite Manila bloggers. 

Despite several competitors rapidly sprouting, it is still one of my favorite restaurants in Tomas Morato Quezon City area. Hence, a bloggers' lunch to check out new additions to Lola Cafe and Bar Menu highlights an excitement one weekend which would have been ordinary otherwise.

Since Lola's opening several years back, its residential-turned-into-restaurant charm is still palpable. There are several changes that transpired in terms of its appearance, menu, and the likes, but its vision to serve good food thankfully is still ever the same. 

Orell's Glazed Banana Thins: It's a Crack Snack!

While munching on Orell’s Glazed Banana Thins, it made me realized that there are probably only three things that could make me come running home despite being already enroute to somewhere. First is when my parents summon me, second is when memory fails and wallet/phone/keys/common sense are left somewhere in my room, and third is when someone lures me to Chuck a u-ey because there’s a crack snack waiting for me at home.

Orell’s Glazed Banana Thins is such a crack snack I ditched a trip for it. Pathetic, you say?  I call it priorities.

To say that the trip I ditched was something I have a lukewarm enthusiasm for to begin with, would just sound like a sorry excuse.  So despite it being the truth, I don’t mind settling for another statement that also rings true – I have an unequivocal love for banana chips.  When dodging my excessive meat consumption, banana chips for me is like beef jerky – I eat it like it’s nobody’s business.  

Hai Chix & Steaks Restaurant: The Steak That Will Haunt You, and You Will Give In

Let us not beat around the bush here about the indulging feast I had at Hai Chix and Steaks Restaurant. I am giving this to you right off the bat. Their steak's been haunting me for a while now - and I am a willing victim.

Imagine a 650g hefty slab of US Angus Rib Eye Steak grilled to your liking. Some fats were trimmed off from the meat – those fat aren't meant to be wasted. Instead, those bits and chunks of fats are fated to make your experience all the more lip-smacking.

Now imagine those bits and little chunks of fat fried into perfect doneness that gives off a balanced texture of crispness with a little resistance to the bite. Those kick ass of a savory bits will be put right on top of the steak.  And you will eat it along with the steak rice you will be served.

You are destined to savor it.

Resort Near Manila: Nature's Land Camp Resort and Events Venue

There are a lot of resorts in Rizal area making it a good destination for those who wants to go on a group outing minus the long and exhausting travel time. One of these resorts near Manila is Nature's Land Camp Resort and Events Venue located in Morong Rizal - a private resort that offers a calming respite from the city with a beautiful view of nature.

Being a private resort, Nature's Land Camp also serves as an events venue for various occasions such as birthday, baptismal, wedding, company outing, school field trips, seminars, and such. It offers different affordable packages that suit to the guests' budget.

With Summer Season just around the corner, it is high time to scout for resort venues where you could spend and enjoy he warm days with your loved ones. I deem Nature's Land Camp can be one of the best places you might want to consider.

Cafe Esse: Coffee, Waffle, Good Vibes, and Then Some

I am writing this blog post about Cafe Esse in Antipolo on a fly because it felt like I have been living under the rock these days being caught up doing things not related to bogging - or writing, in general. My presence here on the blog is getting less frequent much as I don't want to because well, you know, life.

But I don't want the thought of being a cave woman away from the world wide web to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hence, trust that I am doing my best here. I've way too many blog posts to share in due course, mostly about travel and of course, food. But for now, let's give this one a go.

Cafe Esse it is - to supplement my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series.

I would like to say that it was like love at first sight but that sounds too cheesy. And I've no right no be cheesy since there will be a Double Cheese Waffle somewhere in this post as we go along.

So lets avoid being cheesy and settle to the "It's like meeting an old friend, but not really." A tad shady for an opening description but I think I'm cool with that.
