    Staycation at Hotel Benilde – FREE MINI BAR + Christmas Promos

    We stayed at Hotel Benilde last weekend. Wait, Hotel Benilde? As in La Salle? Yes. 🙂 Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a DLSU student to stay here. The hotel is open to the public and it is actually very affordable – they provide a COMPLIMENTARY MINI BAR and they have the least…


  • Breville Smart Grinder Pro Review + Repair Experience

    Breville Smart Grinder Pro Review + Repair Experience

    I have the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, which we got from Rustan’s about one and a half years ago, a gift from J. I was in a French Press coffee phase and I read that freshly ground beans gave the best crema. Of course, that phase didn’t last very long 😀 Too time-consuming and added…


  • Chef Laudico Guevarra’s Adds Christmas Dishes to the Buffet

    Chef Laudico Guevarra’s Adds Christmas Dishes to the Buffet

    Guevarra’s is one of the more affordable, but good buffets that I usually recommend to friends who ask. Aside from the good food, the charm of Guevarra’s lies in the restored 1920’s house and its ambience. I recommend going at night, because the sprawling yard is transformed into a beautifully lit garden. I have already…

    POLL: One Big Time Winner vs. Everybody Happy Party?

    I was talking to someone last night who was organizing a corporate Christmas party. She was preparing P300 Sodexho GCs to be raffled away during the party, and I commented that okay, at least everybody goes home with something. And then she told me that no, there were 200 people attending, and they were only…

    Buy 1 + 1 Using Zomato Gold at Chuck’s Deli #ChucksReturns

    I saw Zomato Gold on the Zomato website a couple of months ago. Aside from the website saying that you can get 1 + 1 on Food and Drinks, there really wasn’t much info about it. It was just “about to launch” with not much info at all. There was no other info there so…

  • Brunch at Perry’s – A Chic & Cozy Tea Salon in McKinley West

    Brunch at Perry’s – A Chic & Cozy Tea Salon in McKinley West

    I have not explored the area of McKinley West. Sure, I’ve always passed through it – it’s the only way traffic flows heading south if you’re in that part of Lawton Avenue across from Upper McKinley Hill. So when the opportunity came up to have brunch there, I happily went to check out Perry’s and…
