Macky's Goto

Good food doesn't always have to be expensive. Goto is a budget busting cheap dish that truly satisfies pinoy cravings. I mean, who doesn't like goto, aber? In Marikina, when we speak of goto, there are only two carinderias in mind - Estella's Goto or Macky's Goto.

Dining at Cafe Lidia

Cafe Lidia is the most popular restaurant in the City of Marikina. It offers wide variety food choices - from appetizers to entrée to deserts and snacks - that satisfy dining pleasures :)

Quick Meryenda at Ramen Bar

I was very excited to taste what could be my best ramen experience. But the God of Ramen seemed resting when we visited Ramen Bar, Libis, Quezon City.

Grazzie, Bellini

Bellini's Cafe is one of my favorite food hubs situated in Marikina. Elbert and I usually eat here after office period, when our stomach calls for food due to traffic ordeal (he-he). We've been to Bellini's on several occasions and I must say they consistently serve tasty and absolutely flavorful Italian dishes.

The Blessed Image in Regina Rica

My family visited our Tita in Tanay, Rizal for her birthday. But, before our sumptuous 'feast', we attended a mass at the Regina RICA.

The Little Flower

"I do not have any other means to prove my love to you, but to throw flowers, that is to let no little sacrifice, no look, no word pass, to take advantage of all the littlest of things and to do them out of love... Hence, I pluck every flower I find on my way, for Jesus. And then as I strew my flowers before Him I desire to sing, although I have had to pluck them among thorns. And the sharper and longer the thorns, the sweeter is my song." - St. Therese of Lisieux, "The Little Flower"

Gastronomic Adventure

Traveling to another country doesn't only mean visiting its famous destinations. It also means making yourself available to try out local food or cuisine regardless its tastes, look or smell (talk about exotic food!). For me, tasting local dishes is the most exciting adventure a budget traveler like me could jump into ;)
