Cafe Mamia


I haven't been to Dumaguete City since the early 90's and was very excited about our trip. Predictably, food overrules the tourist spots in the city. After arriving from our early morning flight, we freshened up a bit and headed off to Cafe Mamia for breakfast.









Churros con tsokolate. The tsokolate was rich and yummy; no hint of grainy texture. The churros was, well ... hmmmmm ... I prefer the ones from Dulcinea. This churros was on the heavy side.




Tapsilog or beef tapa breakfast. Excellent! The beef was very tender and the flavors not overpowering. I also love the garlic rice. Yum yum yum.




Iced-chocolate and pudding. Upon first sip, I was transported back in time. This was how my mother served iced-chocolate. Chocolate milk + chocolate syrup.




Mushroom omelette. Good but not that memorable.

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
