A few weeks ago I was invited for a weekend staycation at F1 Hotel Manila for the LuzViMinda Food Festival as well as the launch of Chef Sau del Rosario as the hotel’s new Executive Chef

One thing that should never be missed: the F all day dining resto serves really good food! From breads to main course and cereals and desserts. It can rival any hotel resto at any given time.
Who doesn’t want to fly for free**? now is your chance to fly to Cebu, Boracay (via KLO), Iloilo Laoag and other exciting destionations for FREE as part of the launching of Tiger Airways Philippines.

A Singapore to Kalibo route will also be launched on July 18, making the carrier the only one to directly fly this route.
One of the best way to learn about a city’ history and culture is through its foods. That is also why I make an extra effort just to sample the local dishes in a locality I visit.
And just recently, Electrolux sent us for a food tour, and destination was Ilocos Sur!

Poqui poqui balls
It was already the second day of our tour and nobody can ever stop us from pigging put in Ilocos!
One of the best things at I have ever experienced in my entire life as a travel blogger is that I am able to savor the unique dishes, and at some point in time, even experienced how the locals would prepare these dishes that placed their locality in the culinary map.

Just recently, I was lucky enough to have been invited by Electrolux to join a food tour in the Ilocandia. Wow! When i received the invitation I cleared my calendar just to on this trip.
