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 I’m glad that they’re now officially open! Dine and have coffee (since Cebu City currently has a liquor ban in place) at 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚 at 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝.⁣
⁣
They are now accepting reservations through their IG: @esca.ph. ⁣
⁣
For something a bit upscale, Esca’s prices are very reasonable and quite pocket-friendly. ⁣
⁣
Esca features a compact menu of modern 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 dishes. I cannot stop raving about the 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞! It’s one of the best “kinilaw” I’ve had.⁣
⁣
The 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚 is so tender and flavorful with an almost melt-in-your-mouth consistency. ⁣
⁣
The 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐚 is a glorious twist to the usual pork chops. ⁣
⁣
Take note that the establishment is implementing health protocols for the mutual protection of the guests and the staff.⁣

Just realized that the last time I was in Bohol was four years ago! ⁣
⁣
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 𝟕𝟎% 𝐎𝐅𝐅 during the first 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤 𝐬𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥: 𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞, happening on 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟏-𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏! More details soon. ⁣

There’s a new kid on the block as 𝗪𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐛 (Korean for “Our Home”) recently opened at 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘦. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For as low as 𝐏𝟑𝟗𝟗, satisfy your cravings for 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐠𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐚𝐥, with unli side dishes, drinks and ice cream*. Great value for money. I was particularly happy with their side dish buffet as I took as much kimchi, sushi, chapchae and assorted dips at my liberty.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
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. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They also have private rooms for your intimate and socially-distanced celebrations. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is the second branch of Woorijib in Cebu (the first one being in Ridges Mabolo), and they’re looking to open more soon!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
See you there? Woorijib Prime is open daily from 𝟷𝟷𝘈𝘔-𝟿𝘗𝘔 at City Time Square Mandaue. Health protocols are observed. Please wear your face mask upon entry, and when getting food from the buffet.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For bookings and reservations, contact them at 09126223916, 09656349759 or visit their FB page.⁣

One of the places I’d like to revisit after this

One of the places I’d like to revisit after this pandemic is definitely Batanes. In this photo is their iconic “Blow Ur Horn” sign which serves as a warning to drivers when navigating around the terrifyingly sharp but breathtakingly beautiful curves that characterize the island’s roads. #Libotero

We just can’t have enough milk tea in the island

The hustle of the holidays and Sinulog is finally

The hustle of the holidays and Sinulog is finally over, but 𝐈𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐨 continues to be a safe space for those who wish to unwind without the crowds, jog, bike, breathe fresh sea breeze, enjoy good food, support local businesses and farm fresh produce, and bond with their pets. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I recently went on a mini “Food Crawl” at Il Corso. We started with a sandwich at 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, and also checked out their 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴. Then we had one of my favorites, 𝐁𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐙’s 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘚𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬 𝘛𝘦𝘢. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Since we were quite stuffed, we took a break from the eating and checked out 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐄 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 x 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬 x 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚, a pop-up store with plants and local products crafted by our Cebuano designers. We then checked out the 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 which has a variety of fresh produce from the province. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
By dusk, we capped off the day with dinner at 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐚. Glorious Cebuano food as always! ⁣Take a break, because #YouAreSafeAtILCorso⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Gentle reminders:⁣⁣⁣
1. Wearing of face mask and full face shield is required.⁣⁣⁣
2. Based on DTI, IATF, & LGU guidelines, only individuals aged 15-65 years old will be allowed entry. ⁣⁣⁣
3. Please bring your Q-Pass and/or ID for APOR.⁣⁣⁣
