Reserve your flight at Air Summit Gourmet - Tayabas, Quezon

Image
Going to Quezon province to buy "pasalubongs" was one of our to-do list of our 10 day Philippines adventure. I saw this Air Summit Gourmet restaurant on the Internet and I was curious how it looked like so we decided to visit this airline by land! [gallery order="DESC" columns="2" ids="11300,11301"] Located in Barangay Dapdap in Tayabas, Quezon, this airplane restaurant has an immigration counter for guests to check in to get your order before boarding inside. I was told that this airplane was bought and modified as a restaurant. I read the menu while waiting for check in at Kamayan sa Palaisdaan resort - yes, the plane is inside the resort and we booked overnight to explore the place. Don't get confuse because Kamayan sa Palaisdaan has also a "Summit Cafe & Restaurant" on top of the resort overlooking Mt Banahaw where we had our dinner and it's a music bar with live karaoke / band. Across of the restaurant is a huge ...

Tanghalang Pilipino has assembled some of the most revered names in the arts industry for its fantastic, highly-entertaining staging of “Pangarap Sa Isang Gabi Ng Gitnang Tag-Araw ,” an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The list of heavyweights include famed film director Carlitos Siguion-Reyna at the helm of this staging, respected film actress Jackielou Blanco playing the role of Amazon Queen Hipolita, and King of Philippine Musical Theater Audie Gemora as fairy king Oberon.

My visit to Hello Kitty Dessert Bar in SM North EDSA - Philippines

Image
I went to the Philippines for a two week short vacation and it's a must to block my schedule to visit Hello Kitty Dessert Bar in SM North EDSA . It was a gloomy friday when we traveled from Cavite to North side of Metro, the traffic was so bad early in the morning and we need to get back to Cavite before afternoon rush hour. Weeks ago, Hello Kitty Cafe truck visited Midwest USA (Illinois) and we lined up for two hours to grab yummy Hello Kitty treats. I am very eager to drag myself early morning to be able to complete my mission. Fortunately, when we arrived in SM North EDSA's Prime Block (3rd Floor) the store was empty so we went ahead and ordered different treats like doughnuts, tiramisu, coffee and shakes (with Hello Kitty faces & Sanrio gang on icings, toppings and coffee design). As we were waiting for our orders, we took snapshots of the shop's pink Hello Kitty facade and tons of selfie. White and pink tables complemented the 'kawaiiness' atmosphere thoug...

Jollibee: Filipino fast food chain opens in Skokie, Illinois

Image
The first Filipino fast food chain made its debut on July 29 in Midwest. Located in the Touhy Marketplace shopping center (3534 Touhy Avenue), its opening day was a jampacked and we were lucky that we don't have to wait that long when we went last weekend. The lines continue to develop and people keep coming in from different places. I know people drove hours for Jollibee . That's how we love Jollibee. Everyone is patiently waiting just to take home our favorite chickenjoy, burgers and halo-halo. Unfortunately, burger steak is not available until August 15. Jollibee's menu is quite different from the Philippines because the store serves halo-halo. It won't matter if we want an hour or more just to taste our local dishes. I've read online and non-Filipinos were curious why there were so many people lining outside, some recommended they should try it and we would love to hear your feedback about our food. If you were watching Anthony Bourdain's show in CNN - Parts...
