RESTO RAVE ❤ M CAFE Martini Brunch
For those looking for a posh place to brunch on weekends, I recommend you check out the Museum Cafe, better known as M Cafe, at Greenbelt 4 in Makati. The setting is just so chic and elegant and there is a great and diverse selection of food – something for everyone’s palate! Since this is delayed, the food or the offers will probably be different, so make sure to call to inquire first.

PROUDLY FILIPINO ❂ Fino Leatherware 2
You would never believe what my most popular blog post is (most number of hits) – aside from “Sergio Ramos’ Girlfriend” that is. It’s my post on FINO leatherware! People from all over the world are searching for their website. Unfortunately they don’t have one. They have limited designs and quantities of their bags that are only sold in their Manila shops. FINO is on my must-visit-list every single time I go home. Every. Single. Time. So if you are going to Manila I highly recommend that you visit one of their shops. Locations & pictures of some more of my FINO Finds after the jump.

I am making this list for friends who are visiting or moving to Manila. If you are going to Manila to visit for a few days I hope this helps you decide where to go for shopping and where to eat. Manila is a great place for shopping. If you know where to look, it’s unbelievably cheap! There is also a lot of great food to be had. If you have more questions feel free to drop me a comment. I will be adding to this list as I think of more things. This is just off the top of my head. =)

One of our go-to places for Pinoy (Filipino) food is Sentro. I love how they reinvent traditional Filipino dishes in a more contemporary way. Whenever I am back in Manila we usually go for the Boneless Crispy Trotter (Pata), Fried Kesong Puti (fried cheese) and Pinoy Osso Bucco! So just wanna share with you the photos of one of our wonderful meals at Sentro Filipino Restaurant!

RESTO RAVE ❤ Oh-so-luxe dining at Lusso by Margarita Fores
Our favorite resto in Manila used to be Pepato, owned by caterer/restaurateur Margarita Fores. So we were ecstatic to hear that she has a restaurant in Greenbelt 5 called Lusso. And the perfect opportunity to try Lusso out came when I met up with my former schoolmate and fellow blogger Deepa of Currystrumpet.blogspot.com over the holidays in Manila! Photos of the amazing food and to-die-for interior design after the jump!

Read MoreTHIRSTY THURSDAY ☽ Bugsy’s Bar & Bistro steaks
Whenever I am in Manila, I always find myself in Bugsy’s with my friends, be it the Ortigas branch or the Salcedo Makati branch. But there is something about it that I only found out in my recent trip to Manila – thanks to my BFF Jenn! Not only is it a great watering-hole, but it has the best value for money steaks in the city! According to Jenn for Php 600 (about 14 usd) you get a 1 inch thick steak “as big as my face!!!” And it is literally as big as her face. Seriously.

Read MoreMilk Tea Madness at SERENITEA
I’ve been hearing the current craze in Manila are milk teas. It reminds me of the Quickly Taro trend in college! Manila is so over the frozen yogurt (“SO 3 years ago!” according to tea lover Cory) so I just had to check it out after our dinner at Cafe Juanita nearby.

I first found the idea of a travel charger kit from 101 Grams of Eye Candy. I also check out the ones from Chuvaness and Daphne O. So when I found myself in MakeRoom Bonifacio Highstreet, it was the first thing I looked for (and also how I discovered the Travel Medicine Organizer).
