Went to a bazaar in the Thai embassy with my friend S. She ended up helping out and in an effort to also help her I inquired about this tea they were sampling. It tasted okay but what really intrigued me were the benefits it claimed to have! (click on image below to expand)
Read MoreTomorrow….
…I will write about my long but wonderful day yesterday – the pre-game ”pep rally,” going into the stadium, watching it and the sad but proud defeat. It was bittersweet, because not all of the experiences were positive. But it was nonetheless the experience of a lifetime – because we were at the right time, right place and pinoys are the nicest people!
Today I’m going to rest. I am exhausted from all the excitement and my brain doesn’t wanna work. And I am slightly sad too – it’s the natural crash after such a wonderful high of the Philippine vs Indonesia Suzuki Cup Semi-finals.
Just want to say, have a safe trip home National Football Team of the Philippines and their contingent! And thanks Azkals for the signed Jersey and the nice messages on my photo album of our lunch!

After the disappointing dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory, we were eager to end the night in a nice place with a few drinks – the perfect way to celebrate the week’s end. Another place we wanted to try on the Gourmet Jakarta magazine was Birdcage. We were looking for along a tree line street in Kebayoran Baru when I saw it, and I said “There it is!” and my husband, who I guess was looking another way, said “How do you know it’s the one?”
Read MoreResto Rave: Crystal Jade – Grand Indonesia
I was so happy with our dinner at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao Exquisite in Grand Indonesia Mall last night, that I’m not going to waste any time before posting about it! I think this is also perfect timing because they just opened their first branch in Manila last September and apparently the lines are horrible. But still many of my friends in Manila are excited to try it despite the long wait for a table! (Hello @jenncanada and @ria_de_janeiro!)
