Witness the Crossroads of Philippine Civilization at Ayala Museum
The Ayala Museum has long been around the corner. Though seating just beside Greenbelt 5 and perhaps, lurking along my daily walkway route when I was still reporting at our Makati office, I never got a chance to peek on what is inside. I was never curious, probably because of their “yellow” branding and frequent showcase of the Aquino family. Yup, to be honest, I am not a fan of Cory or Ninoy. Just recently, my visiting friends from Indonesia (Annisa, Wina, and Veeta) were curious and were willing to explore the museum. Since I volunteered to be their guide, I ... Read more

A Breakfast Treat at Chef Lau’s Pugon Roasters
Though Ayala Triangle is just a short walk away from our office, I rarely take a stroll in the park. A friend invited me one Thursday morning (after our shift) for breakfast at Ayala Triangle.

During these hours, only breakfast meals are available. Chef Lau’s Pugon Roasters’ Breakfast Menu and Order Counter My friend asked ... Read more
Spicy and “Shrimpy” Munch at Bubba Gump
I usually don’t spend a lot for a single meal – even for a special occasion or a friendly date (maybe I am just lucky for not meeting and dating someone who’s too choosy and socially inclined). But a toast for a job well done is a must grab opportunity. It was my first time in Bubba Gump but it’s not my first in a restaurant of its class and price range. As I said, I don’t spend a lot in a single meal (except for very few instances), it is my job that brought me to these places. The ... Read more
