Binondo Food Wok with Ivan Man Dy

Nothing beats being introduced to the place full of rich cultural heritage and history while eating your way through them.  That is what I have experienced at the start of this year when I joined fellow foodies at The Binondo Food Wok with Ivan Man Dy of The Old Manila Walks.

When we were told that our tour isn’t going to be the popular tried and tested Big Binondo Food Wok but rather a tour of Ivan’s personal favorite just in time for the Lunar New Year, I knew that I needed to extend my holiday vacation. On January 23, we will be celebrating Chinese New Year that is why I deemed joining the tour couldn’t be more apt.

Lifestyle and Beauty: BROWHAUS Manila

This is the first time that I am going to write about beauty and lifestyle since I did a bit of revamp here on my blog (noticed my blog header?). I have been receiving invites from everywhere asking me to try their service and products not food related. So I guess now is the best time for me to give way and share my thoughts on these things to you my dear readers. I hope you stay with me as I tip toe my way slowly into expanding my blog. But do not worry, since YedyLicious is still primarily a food blog, I will always be dishing out all things delicious as we all eat our way through living the good life.

There couldn’t be a better way to start this segment than to write about something I believe in. With that, let me share with you my experience at Browhaus located at the 2nd floor of Serendra in Taguig City.

Juan Carlo the Caterer at The Weddings and Debuts Bridal Fair 2012

For years now I have been hearing about Juan Carlo the Caterer. From friends who have become their clients for years now, to others who constantly rave about them after experiencing their superb food and wonderful service. I have attended an event before in which Juan Carlo The Caterer provided the service. I was impressed from the get go. Same goes for the others who was was on the same event.

When our friends from Nuffnang Philippines invited me to attend Wedding Library’s Weddings and Debuts Bridal Fair 2012 Press Conference held at Plaza Ibarra last January 12.  I have once again able to witness how Juan Carlo the Caterer pleased the guests with their delectable dishes and suberb service.

Gong Cha Philippines is Now Open at Il Terrazzo Tomas Morato, Quezon City

When my friend D and I decided to have a dinner last night at Banapple in Il Terrazzo, Tomas Morato, I was happy to know that they already moved their store to a much bigger place. Still at the second floor of Il Terrazo, but this time they are occupying the space right beside their original location. While I am happy about this move, what made me happier is that the seventh store of Gong Cha Philippines is now occupying the space Banapple used to occupy

They opened last January 11, 2012 and they are still on a soft opening as of yet.

Gong Cha Philippines, Il Terrazzo BUilding, Tomas Morato, Quezon City

I had my first try of Gong Cha Milk Teas at their SM North Edsa Branch and decided to visit again to try their other drinks. It didn’t materialize since most of their branches are far from where I am residing, except from SM Megamall which I don’t usually frequent to. Good thing that they opened a branch at Tomas Morato, a place I usually visit if I want to go crazy with many options of restaurants to dine in.

New and Improved FERSAL HOTEL, A Relaxing Experience at the Heart of the City!

Recently, amidst the craziness brought about by the holiday season, I came into a point wherein I would willingly give out a limb in exchange of one night of relaxation away from everything that I was busy with. That time I knew I needed an escape. A break. Good thing that I was able to schedule myself to an overnight stay at the Makati site of the new and improved Fersal Hotel.

FERSAL HOTEL in Neptune St. Makati

Given the rather hectic schedule that I had and other tons of tasks at hand during that time, booking myself a flight somewhere far would spell irresponsibility.  The proximity of Fersal Hotel in Neptune St. Makati from where I am residing is just enough for me to feel that I am far enough to have a breathing space from the usual, but near enough not to spend the entire time I have allotted for my escape on the road.
