OVN Bread Co: Not Your Ordinary Bread

I found myself in wandering in SM Aura Premier a few weekends ago. I was actually looking for a pastry store to buy a cake for a friend and felt being lured into this particular store with too good looking to eat bread with catchy, quirky names. I was quick to grab a tray and thongs and went berserk piling pretty breads on my tray. Right then and there, I knew I was in trouble.

Flavors of Naga: Kambingan Restaurant

I'm a sissy when it comes to trying out exotic things but if you try really hard, I just ~might~ change my mind. This was the case when I had a dinner date with College friends in Naga, of all places, and finally had my first taste of chevon.

Send-Off Lunch At Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

For my second and official send-off celebration, I was thinking of going Japanese. To my officemates and friends, that's probably a given. I had my mind's eye set to Yabu's sinfully enticing Salmon Katsu but Yabu doesn't accept reservations and it always is jam-packed during peak hours. I didn't want my officemates to starve on account of me, so my backup plan was to try out Hokkaido Ramen Santouka based on the decent reviews online.
