The Famous Banchetto At Ortigas Center 10/29/2009
 STREET FOOD, LITERALLY  Eat where you work. In my case, I take my office breaks at various fast food chains along the formerly called Emerald Avenue in Ortigas Center, Pasig City four days of my 5-day work week. Every Saturday morning, though, I head to Banchetto which is "feast" in Italian. And it is a whole street of food feasting from Friday night to Saturday noon! The lined up stalls may literally be dwarfed by the business district's tall buildings, but the Banchetto experience always leaves the urban foodie satisfied for the affordable food that's available in various forms.  FRUIT SHAKES  SHAWARMA  FRIED RICE  DUMPLINGS  NATIVE TREATS  HOTDOG, BBQ, CHICKEN, ETC.  CREPES Banchetto is also famous for the crepes being sold by Crepe Man. If you love Cafe Breton, maybe you can give Crepe Man a chance. To see how they do their crepes, click here.  BIBINGKA PHOTOS BY AHMER TOLEDO Destination: Wandering In Residential Sagada 06/27/2009
 Every community in the Philippine provinces has a unique feel. Walking in the residential area of Sagada is like walking in the past. The common facade of the houses is quaint yet evoking timelessness. My college friend snapped these images during a not-so-recent trip up north in case you're wondering where Sagada is.  Destination: A Secluded Garden In Tagaytay 06/26/2009
 Once upon a time (meaning not this year) I was not in Manila which rarely happens. I was in a residential area in Tagaytay where the roads seem to slope more than once per kilometer... at least where the secluded garden that I visited is located. It's part of the area where Nurture Spa holds its massage service, among other services.   For someone who's so used to the hustle and bustle of city life, the garden is literally refreshing. The greens are lush and the flowers' various colors seem to dance whenever the wind would blow. It definitely reminded me of childhood summers in Baguio where I stayed at my cousins' American-style home that opens to a multilevel flower terrace.
