Noriter Cafe Manila

Went to Noriter Cafe today to join Philip, Audri, Robin and Cara with their Focus Group Discussion re: Social Networking Sites. It was a fun afternoon and Noriter is such a fun place to hang-out with friends and perhaps for a creative spark. The place's ambience is cozy and very korean-ish. Lol. I loved every bit of decorative pieces that were placed in the area and oh, the HONEY CAKE too! Thanks for sharing it with me guys. Now I want to have one again. XD

Noriter Cafe is found at Taft, Manila (right above Tapa King Taft).

Friendster's New Look

I guess Friendster is doing a creative comeback after being left behind by the birth of Facebook. Will Friendster be the hype again that actually introduced us to social networking sites. Whatcha think?

Kanin Club

Had this week's Thursday Dinner at Kanin Club UP-Ayala Technohub with my constant eating buddy. It was my turn this week since the paycheck came in already. We came back for our favorite Kare-Kare and he ordered Crispy Tenga. Well.. it was indeed crispy.

50 Things to do in Manila

I stumbled upon one of Spot.ph's articles and this one caught my attention.










Interested? It's a 4-part article-list (a 5th one coming soon! HOORAY!!) that features places, activities, must-try's and everything under the sun that one can do in Manila.

The list is pretty interesting and some of it I really want to try. Visiting Paco Park, which is on the list, I'd also recommend. I'm looking forward to hear a mass there on a Sunday with the family. I'm also itching to visit Bookay Ukay ASAP!! Haha. Having more time on my hand makes me want to read books again -- and not to mention, I can get them there cheap!

So before I end up spoiling the list for you, here are the links. Enjoy!

In case you've already tried doing/ visiting some of those that are in the list, drop a comment and share your experience. :)

Loving Gelatissimo again!

We just simply love Gelatissimo, don't we? :D During my second visit to Cebu this year, we had another scoop of good gelato from Gelatissimo at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu.

O hai there!! *waves*

They have new flavors up! Makes the gelato experience more exciting! XD
I had Chocolate truffles while Solomon had the Very Berry one. He said the Very Berry was sweet and the actual berries tastes good. The chocolate truffles, well, the chocolate bits were a bit bitter and having too much of its sweetness might give you sore throat the next day. So I'd still recommend getting the Lick & Sip or a scoop only, then have another round the next day or the other.

Hmmmmm... I can't wait to go back to Cebu this late July or August!
I will update you guys with their new flavors!

Karate Kid's Kani Sushi

After my hemorrhage-causing board exam yesterday, my mother messaged me that she'll treat me to a nice late lunch and some coffee at SM San Lazaro. Something to relieve the stress and perhaps maybe, the depression I'm starting to feel while anticipating for the results.

We decided to get some Binalot meals and then we passed by Karate Kid. I suddenly remembered their Kani Sushi -- a fresh addition to their menu. Kani means `Crab` in japanese, so basically the Kani sushi is rolled rice and crabstick wrapped in nori. Since I first had it last Sunday on Karate Kid Mall of Asia, I have to admit that I liked the taste of it. :)


For Php69.00, you get 6 pieces of Kani sushi. It's not too filling, so I suggest to only have it for merienda or if you have an extra space, have it after taking a meal.

Karate Kid has branches in SM San Lazaro, SM Mall Of Asia, Robinsons Place - Manila, Ayala Avenue, SM Fairview and SM Centerpoint.

Gelatissimo!

A Gelato is not Ice Cream. But definitely, Gelati is sheer happiness to ice cream fanatics.

Thank goodness Gelatissimo has finally arrived to the Philippines. Having two branches in Cebu (sorry Luzon), one in SM Cebu and in The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu, it's definitely something to try upon your visit.
During my visit, I was surprised with the array of flavors they have.
Green Tea, Coffee, Tiramisu, Choco Mint, Forest Berries, Guava, Choc Hazelnut, Panna Cotta, Roasted Almond, Macadamia & Caramel, Pistachio, Honey Toffee & Malt, Vanilla, Creme Caramel, Veronese Chocolate, Biscottino, Strawberry, Hazelnut, Lemon, Chocolate, Raspberry, Caramelized Fig and Choco Chip.

It was heavenly. :)
