Got invited to a special preview to this new desti Got invited to a special preview to this new destination to wine and dine before 2020 ended and Iโ€™m glad that theyโ€™re now officially open! Dine and have coffee (since Cebu City currently has a liquor ban in place) at ๐„๐ฌ๐œ๐š at ๐•๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐ž๐.โฃ

They are now accepting reservations through their IG: @esca.ph. โฃ
โฃ
For something a bit upscale, Escaโ€™s prices are very reasonable and quite pocket-friendly. โฃ
โฃ
Esca features a compact menu of modern ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ dishes. I cannot stop raving about the ๐“๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฎ๐ž ๐‚๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ก๐ž! Itโ€™s one of the best โ€œkinilawโ€ Iโ€™ve had.โฃ

The ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐‚๐ก๐จ๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐„๐ ๐  ๐“๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐จ ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ๐š is a glorious twist to the usual pork chops. โฃ
โฃ
Take note that the establishment is implementing health protocols for the mutual protection of the guests and the staff.โฃ

Now is the perfect time to revisit the beautiful island province of Bohol as hotels, resorts, tourism establishments, and tour operators will be offering their products up to as much as ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽ% ๐Ž๐…๐… during the first ๐๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ค ๐ฌ๐š ๐๐จ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ: ๐๐จ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ ๐Ž๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ž, happening on ๐…๐ž๐›๐ซ๐ฎ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ!

Thereโ€™s a new kid on the block as ๐—ช๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐› (Korean for โ€œOur Homeโ€) recently opened at ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ฒ๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ. โฃโฃ

I was particularly happy with their side dish buffet as I took as much kimchi, sushi, chapchae and assorted dips at my liberty.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Upon entry, their very friendly staff gave me a very good impression. The restaurant is spacious and cozy, and despite having several diners during our visit, it did not feel too busy, noisy or stressful. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
They also have private rooms for your intimate and socially-distanced celebrations. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
This is the second branch of Woorijib in Cebu (the first one being in Ridges Mabolo), and theyโ€™re looking to open more soon!โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
See you there? Woorijib Prime is open daily from ๐Ÿท๐Ÿท๐˜ˆ๐˜”-๐Ÿฟ๐˜—๐˜” at City Time Square Mandaue. Health protocols are observed. Please wear your face mask upon entry, and when getting food from the buffet.โฃโฃ

One of the places Iโ€™d like to revisit after this One of the places Iโ€™d like to revisit after this pandemic is definitely Batanes. In this photo is their iconic โ€œBlow Ur Hornโ€ sign which serves as a warning to drivers when navigating around the terrifyingly sharp but breathtakingly beautiful curves that characterize the islandโ€™s roads. #Libotero
We just canโ€™t have enough milk tea in the island We just canโ€™t have enough milk tea in the island as ๐๐ก๐š๐ฆ ๐‚๐ก๐š - ๐“๐ก๐š๐ข ๐Œ๐ข๐ฅ๐ค ๐“๐ž๐š opened recently at ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ ๐˜—๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ (formerly Tonyoโ€™s, near Bigfoot).โฃ
โฃ
Nham Cha has over 60 branches in Luzon and this marks their first foray in the Visayas. Whatโ€™s interesting about them is that they only have ๐Ÿท๐Ÿธ ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด on their menu, all of them they consider as bestsellers. Thereโ€™s a drink for everyone. Someone lactose-intolerant can have the ๐‚๐ก๐š ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ฐ (refreshing Thai tea).โฃ
โฃ
As for myself, I had to try their ๐‚๐ก๐š ๐˜๐ž๐ง (Authentic Thai Milk Tea) so I could compare it with the ones I had in the streets of Bangkok. Iโ€™m so glad that it met my expectations! I also tried the ๐๐š๐ง๐ ๐ค๐จ๐ค ๐๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฅ ๐Œ๐ข๐ฅ๐ค ๐“๐ž๐š (this one I could compare with the Brown Sugar milk tea of other shops), and ๐๐ก๐š๐ฆ ๐‚๐ก๐š ๐Ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฅ๐จ๐š๐ (which reminded me of Hokkaido Cream Milk Tea from another brand). On my next visit, I will try ๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐˜๐ž๐ง or the Thai Pink Milk, popularized by BL series. โฃ
โฃ
The store is perfectly set for the new normal. Using a trailer, there is almost no contact between the customers and the staff. The customers order through a glass window, with a microphone so it is amplified inside. โฃ
โฃ
Visit them today and experience what Authentic Thai milk tea tastes like!! โฃ

I recently went on a mini โ€œFood Crawlโ€ at Il Corso. We started with a sandwich at ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐…๐š๐œ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ, and also checked out their ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ด.

Since we were quite stuffed, we took a break from the eating and checked out ๐•๐„๐‘๐ƒ๐„ ๐†๐š๐ซ๐๐ž๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‚๐ซ๐š๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ฌ x ๐Œ๐ข๐ค๐ก๐š๐ข๐ฅ ๐€๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ x ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐„๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š, a pop-up store with plants and local products crafted by our Cebuano designers. We then checked out the ๐…๐š๐ซ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌโ€™ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ค๐ž๐ญ which has a variety of fresh produce from the province. โฃโฃโฃ
