Review: PICKLE.PH and my Honest Thoughts About Food Subscription Services
I LOVE TO EAT. That’s actually the reason why I’m not getting the results I want on my body despite my consistent visit to the gym working on my routines. Our body is 70% diet and 30% exercise, and when I mention the word diet, it doesn’t necessarily mean starving yourselves by restricting your calorie portions too much. PICKLE.PH That’s where PICKLE.PH comes in. It’s a food subscription service that delivers meals on daily basis and its portion depends on your nutritional needs. I like using the term food subscription more than diet delivery because it just sounds less restrictive. Since I was staying in Manila for a few weeks for macho kid’s summer vacation, why…
BEST MILK TEA ALERT! Presotea Serves You Freshly Brewed Tea Each Time
I am a self-confessed milk tea addict. It’s something my taste-buds crave every time I finish a meal or when I need an instant oxytocin boost.

That’s why when I heard Presotea finally arrived in the Philippines my caffeine-dependent heart beat faster than it should. HAHA! Here’s why. What Makes Presotea Special? With the myriad of milk…

CAFE ILANG-ILANG BUFFET REVIEW (The Manila Hotel)
I still had a few credits left on my Deal Grocer account so I decided to grab the opportunity to treat my Mama2 and Geof for a grand buffet at Cafe Ilang-Ilang at The Manila Hotel. We were supposed to come with my grandma but unfortunately, she wasn’t feeling well that day. The regular rate for a lunch buffet for 4 was 9,400php. But! Thanks to Deal Grocer we scored it for only 5,680 pesos and save 40% off. The Manila Hotel is one of the oldest running hotel in the Philippines build 1912. I’m impressed how they were able to maintain it while still retaining its old charms. CAFE ILANG-ILANG BUFFET REVIEW “One of the…

DC Cafe Philippines Review | The Good, Bad, and the Ugly
Heads up! This is a *photo heavy* post so prepare your data and $$$. It may not seem like it, nor is it obvious on my blog because I rarely write it here. But I’m a low-key comic book casual and resident girl geek. That’s why I was super excited when received an invitation for the media preview of DC Super Heroes Cafe Philippines located in 4th Floor SM Megamall Fashion Hall. Kikaysikat Says: I visited the cafe with my good friends Earth from earthlinggorgeous.com, Marcus, and Luis! Please read everything from start-finish just like a comic book please!

A New Podium Appreciation Post + Mama and Baba Eats at Paradise Dynasty a Review
Macho kid and I often go out on adventures and eat, A LOT. But we enjoy ourselves too much that most of the time I don’t take proper photos anymore. Luckily we’ve been eating at Paradise Dynasty in Podium a few times already so I managed to take a few. We’re in-love with the newly renovated Podium Mall in Ortigas. The outdoor display an array of greens on their walls. Instead of just cement. It’s indoor architecture is beautiful. The mall isn’t as crowded as others (perhaps because of its intimidating aesthetics that screams posh people only) and there are a lot of great places to dine in! The restaurants inside are all rated 3.5…

Easy DIY Grazing Table and Cheese Platter Perfect for Afternoon Snacks!
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK. Bold period underline for emphasis. Okay I’m probably exaggerating but the real reason is sheer laziness and trauma to burns. But I wanted to treat Ryan and his friends for a simple but special afternoon snack. I thought about going the easy way out and ordering through a delivery service, but I wanted something more personal somehow. Something I actually prepared myself. According to my foodie friends, there’s no easier way to impress and satisfy guests than with a scrumptious cheese platter! On recent blogger events that I’ve been to, I notice they lay out a delicious spread of fruits, cured meat, assortment of cheeses, biscuits and…
