Seryna In Manila

I love steak! Although my age forbids me to indulge in red meat, a twice monthly treat is allowed.
I first had a taste of Seryna in Tokyo and it is one of those gastronomic joys I will always want to experience again and again.
When fellow steak-loving friend Bobby Yan found out that Seryna exists in Makati's Little Tokyo, we immediately found ourselves braving weekday traffic for a taste of those melt-in-your-mouth beef cubes. Oh yes, it was definitely worth the trip.

Little Tokyo in Makati.








Melt- in-your-mouth Wagyu cubes!

Fellow steak lover, Bobby Yan.

As a nation grows, so does art and culture.

Last night, these two hardworking women launched an exhibit celebrating art, fashion, and Swatch Philippines' 25 years at the new Swatch & Swatch building in Makati.

Here are ten of my rainy day cravings; savory, protein packed goodness, best eaten warm with a giant glass of Coca Cola. Aaahh, happiness. Ryu's Tantanmen , nothing beats hot ramen on a rainy night. Tim Ho Wan's Pork Buns, something worth lining up for and going out for on a rainy afternoon. Rain or shine, you just can't get enough of Lugang's Xiao Long Bao .

The Cojuangco Ancestral House

Our next journey takes us to a historic town in Bulacan, thirty minutes north of Manila. My road trip buddies, my college friends who all share with me the same fascination for heritage houses were privileged by an invitation from Melecio Cojuangco to visit their ancestral house in Malolos. Mel, his cousin in law Marissa Lopa, Rima Datuin and Evelyn Bautista  and I discovered each other's funny bone   because of our love for the ice cream served in a huge bowl at Peninsula Manila's lobby. One evening, to justify our appetite, we pretended it was my birthday and we had the string quartet play happy birthday for me, from then on, we became good friends.
