It’s a nice, sunny day to get married! That’s how Tagaytay in the Philippines felt during this June weekend, where it was off to a wedding of two very good friends who elected to have their venue for vows in this crisp retreat so close to Manila. And since the wedding will be finishing late and it would be too tiresome to head back, might as well get an overnight…
The cool winds of Tagaytay is just too good a proposal not to ignore no matter what time of the year. What more of that time of the year is the blistering Philippine summer season. Which is a good thing for those who want to spend at least a night to enjoy that comfortable climate after a night’s session of sipping bulalo or a good dinner at Marcia Adams’ Tuscany….
Fans of the original cliffside site of Breakfast at Antonio’s are rejoicing with its reopening. After all, it just died down without much reason, with some people who are not in the know thinking that it never got the same appeal as the Antonio’s Restaurant tucked away in the villages of Tagaytay. But how can it not be appealing when it is situated by the cool Tagyatay cliffside with…
You know how some road trips to Tagaytay might end: You stay there with your friends, with endless merry-making over beers and bulalo overlooking the Taal volcano at night, even if you don’t see a thing anymore due to the obvious darkness. Or that you want to enjoy the cool breeze for the weekend and just need a place to crash for the night. Or it can be the wedding…
A peak into what it’s like to be in the middle of the tranquil residential resort that is Canyon Woods Tagaytay.
Like a story that’s beautifully written and told, Antonio’s Restaurant in Tagaytay offers you a perfect dining experience that will make you want to re-live it over and over again.
The Lake District Restaurant and Lounge offers a spectacular view of Taal lake, making it perfect for casual Sunday lunches, corporate events, and even wedding proposals. They bring their motto to life: Happiness in a Plate.
Margarita Fores of Cibo and Lusso (oh that Demi-pound burger is divine!) fame has been in the industry for more than a decade, and what comes out of the kitchen gets better and better. This was validated when she was named Best Female Chef of Asia this 2016. What will please people, is that if you need to have a banquet catered by the Cibo group, they can whip out something that…
Things really are picking up for the craft beer industry after that big Drink Up! Philippines event. People have a greater appreciation now of the bubbly brew and are now willing to explore the various crafts made by small breweries. Perfect Pint in Fort Bonifacio Global City is one of them, but this one focuses more on the local craft beer scene in the Philippines. Yep. Craft beer makers are…
Some people have this question: How can one go to Baguio and stay hidden amid the quiet trees while not spending a fortune into country clubs and high star hotels? Well, there is this hidden gem near Mine’s View Park: C Boutique Hotel. It’s very specialized (or personalized if that is the more appropriate word), that it only has about 17 rooms. It’s quaint, and feels almost like visiting someone’s…
Valentine’s Day this 2014 (un)conveniently falls on a Friday, which is also a payday for most of the working class. And so if you want to dive into the rest of humanity that feels compelled to celebrate on this day and get stuck in a sea of vehicular traffic, be our guest. What we propose, though, is maybe you can celebrate it in advance, or afterwards when all the frenzy…
This has actually been a year for the books. New friends have opened avenues to learn more about the food and travel industry. Meeting fellow bloggers that have the same passion, discipline, professionalism, and courtesy to continue enriching the community. And also, the chance to see more of the world 🙂 Yes. 2013 was one hell of a year. Just 13 things that made it interesting: Learning of hidden bars…
Finally! After so long…. Aubergine. Aubergine (French for eggplant) has been in Fort Bonifacio for quite a few years already, quietly hidden on the second floor of the 32nd and Fifth commercial complex. While everything around it has been constructed at a staggering pace, it’s been here all this time, quietly serving great haute cuisine. Sometimes it feels like a guilt trip to have tried younger places in the area like…
Staycations. In this hot and humid Philippine weather, who doesn’t want to have a quick overnight weekend respite while staying within the modern conveniences of the urban landscape? And so one weekend after a little research on what Seda Fort Bonifacio is all about, one weekend night was booked. Seda (The Filipino word for “Silk”) is a Philippine grown brand chain of hotels that aims to make it a…
Did you know that bathroom breaks were once a communal activity before Queen Elizabeth I popularized the idea of making it a private moment? So it is in that line that we present some things you may not see if kept private in these bathrooms. If ever you happen to visit these places, check them out! Oh, and apologies if the pictures don’t look as clear as the ones normally…
Ray: Currently at Harmonie Cafe. TripAdvisor said this would be one of the best stops in the 10th Arrondisement. They are absolutely right. Countless movies have made Parisian cafes the setting for a budding romance (or that into its wilting stages). It is a charming, quaint, usually family-run place where every nook and cranny is distinct from any cafe around the city. Regular customers feel like family, too! Is it…
After some reflection over a previous post, it does come out a little too “Negative” for what is normally placed in this blog. And so, with a change of heart, the whole thing will be changed to highlight the food that makes our lives all the better, even for that one second when it meets our taste buds. This actually might be a regular thing here, probably updated on a…
THE CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN DRAWN HERE After close to three weeks of inactivity, some movement now in En Route! Please pardon the hiatus as pre and post wedding activities do take oodles of time and logistical skills. But lots of adventures did come up in some mini road trip the past week. Tune in for that. One of the gimmiks during the wedding reception was to…
En Route was privileged to be invited to experience a place so quaint and humble, yet in its simplicity and rarity, it transforms itself into something memorable, much like the couple who hosted their wedding reception here. It is also worth mentioning that the groom is a blood relative and that part of our purpose – and gift for the couple – was to mix drinks for this reception, so……
So we stumbled upon this piece of literature that with its size, can act as a door-stop or a baby booster seat: . It is quite the engaging book with breathtaking photos and enriching trivia about the natural world there is to explore. It even breaks it down by continent/region (I’m assuming that the last region is definitely the last one you will want to visit given it is freezing…
Buon Giorno already has a branch here in the metro. Located in the Rockwell Business Club along Ortigas Ave. (beside The New Medical City), your good days and good meals await.
We’re celebrating turning one today! Keep on reading because we’re always looking at things to share. 😀
