Hon and I both love Japanese food. After being fed up with Teriyaki Boy’s ramen and gyoza in the previous months since we discover it in Robinsons, Puerto Prinsesa, Hon finally gave in to try other Japanese restaurants. Last week we tried, Red Kimono in Glorietta, Makati and last night at Sumo Sam. In this post, as its title implies, I’ll share with you some of the food we’ve tried in Sumo Sam at SM North Esda – The Block. While waiting for our food, I took a pic of the chopsticks and tissue so to ease the boredom a…

As mentioned in my previous post about our Chalet Baguio Experience, we did hotel hopping in Baguio City, Philippines during our 5 days vacation last April 2013. The Golden Pine Hotel is the second hotel that we stayed on. Originally, we are booked for just one night but since I got fever on our 4th day we have decided to extend for one more night. It was a pleasant stay, though. The Golden Pine Hotel is very accessible as it is situated near Burnham Park and Cafe by the Ruins, one of the restaurants we went to. Roaming around the…

We arrived in Love Desserts…

Cafe by the Ruins Facade25 Shuntug Rd Baguio City 2600 We heard so much about the Cafe by the Ruins especially the hot choco they serve. So we decided to celebrate our nth monthsary there (dinner) during our 5-day vacation trip in Baguio. At first glance, we find the place secluded because their signage is not that visible from the outside. However, we were surprised that there are many people inside when we arrived. The ambiance is nostalgic and romantic, I must say. Maybe because of the lighting and the wood structures. The restaurant is not…

Last April 27 to May 1, 2013, we went to Baguio for a vacation. It’s actually a month after our Puerto Princesa Tour. Originally, we planned to stay there for four (4) days but decided to extend for one more day due to the cold weather. However, I got sick on the fourth day so we just stayed in the hotel (Golden Pine Hotel) the whole day. We stayed in two hotels during our five days vacation. We have decided to do hotel hopping since places in Baguio are very accessible by taxi/cabs with Php35 (.$90) as its flag down….
