Food Prowl in Lilac Street

Marikina is, no doubt, a treasure trove for those on the prowl for good food. I, for one, have a list of food places to visit here. But the seemingly maze-like streets and passageways could scare people like me who's directionally challenged. Good thing I have a number of friends who are well-versed with the nooks and crannies of Marikina. So now I'm quite confident that I could now pay Lilac Street a visit which I was clueless before on how to get there.

Me & My Love Affair w/ Coffee (Last Part)

It's been a while, I know. Been stumped lately. But if it would interest you, here's a few more coffee shops that I've enjoyed visiting recently.

Drinks w/ A Touch Of Whimsy

Whimsical drinks such as cocktails has a bewitching appeal to me. I do chug an occasional bottle of beer but nothing lures me better to alcohol consumption than a cocktail drink with an exotic name and handcrafted with care.

Me & My Love Affair w/ Coffee (Part One)

I'd like to think that I've come a long way when it comes to appreciating a good cup of coffee. Of course, I would never dis instant coffee. I still drink it up to this day since I don't owe any coffee making machine so the easiest way for me to get my caffeine fix (aside from visiting a nearby Starbucks which can get quite expensive if done on a daily basis) is to open up a satchet of instant coffee, add some creamer and sugar and voila! coffee bliss. But going to a coffee shop is a totally different thing. I would even say I'm kind of nitpicky choosing a cafe or coffee shop to visit. Great thing for caffeineaholics like me, there's a whole slew of coffee shops right now in the metro to get caffeinated-high. And wouldn't it be nice if the barista who prepared your cup of joe put extra care capping your coffee with a beautiful latte design?

I Enjoy Eating Alone; or Otherwise

I do enjoy eating alone. It's really not a big deal. I know a lot of people who couldn't bear the thought of going to the office pantry by themselves and eating in a corner with their order of viand and rice. Not me. I do relish my moment with my food. Eating is a personal thing also, you know? But I also don't mind sharing my food moment with friends. So, here's yet another post from recent visits I made with friends or just by me, hence the title of the post.
