Inggo Noms...

Around summer of 2015, we discovered a new dessert place at Maginhawa Street during our usual walks. We thought 3 scoops of unique flavored ice cream for 99php is steal, so we tried it out. And that’s how we became semi-regulars to this place ♥.

We celebrated our 8th Anniversary in Davao! So happy that I got to travel again with him for the 3rd time this year. ♥ Again, the main reason for our travels is for the food. My cousin’s family kept on mentioning that Davao has the best seafood. Is it really? Image heavy post ahead!

Inggo and I went on an adventure a few weeks ago. It wasn’t our first adventure together, but this trip still had many “firsts”. So let me list some: first overseas trip for me, first overseas trip together, first time to go to a 24 hours open mall, first time to eat a banana-looking and delicious tapioca Thai dessert, first time to go home solo.

After checking-out from our hotel, we made our way back to Harbor Point on the way to the bus station that will bring us back to the Metro. Since we haven’t had lunch yet, we decided to try out another unique place here. After finding out there’s basically no unique place here, we opted to go to the next best thing and went to Kusina ng Gerry’s, which is technically not in the Metro.

We didn’t have any additional iterinary planned for our Subic trip, so while in the hotel, we researched for nearby places we can have dinner at. One place, just a few steps away from the hotel we stayed in the bay area, featured mixed reviews. Risking it, and since we wanted seafood, we went to Seafood by the Bay.

The next day in our Subic adventure, we searched for a top-rated restaurant in the area based on our research. After finally finding the correct road while walking around the bay area, we finally made it to Meat Plus. This place serves freshly-imported meat from U.S.A., specifically specialty steak cuts.

For dinner, after wandering around the Subic Freeport Zone, searching for one of our favorite places here, we finally made it to Sakura. This was our second time visiting this place, but the first time was with family and we had easy transportation. Getting here without navigation and just walking was quite a hassle. Still, since the Freeport Zone wasn’t that big, it’s still walkable from our hotel which was at the bay area.

Beloved and I celebrated our anniversary at Subic this past week. We took the bus from Cubao and walked to Harbor Point Mall after getting dropped off the outskirts of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. It was a long walk and we were famished, so we ate at the first unique place that caught our eye (there weren’t a lot)—Buddha’s Bowl.

Beloved and I had merienda at St. Marc Cafe. We’ve actually been to this place a couple of times on their Megamall branch. In addition, Beloved has already visited this particular branch by herself, so we were quite aware what this Japanese-style cafe offers. They don’t really offer traditional Japanese dishes. They have pastries, desserts, coffee, and tea—usual cafe food and beverages. However, most if not all of them has that Japanese touch, such as incorporating matcha and having an inordinate variations of parfaits.

Beloved and I had dinner at Hanayo. It’s actually the second time we’ve been here, but we didn’t manage to take photos the first time, which happened early last year. Found just a skip away from Tomas Morato, this Korean grill is similar to the likes of Don-Day, one of the food places I exclaim highly due to the budget buffet they offer. This isn’t as inexpensive as Don-Day, however. When we first went, the buffet, which includes on-your-table grilling, only costed a bit more than 500 Php.
