MetroFoodTrip | Tokyo Tokyo's Spicy Chicken Ramen

Tokyo Tokyo Ramen

I'm not feeling well these past few days, got a runny nose, probably due to changing weather. And whenever I'm not feeling well, I love to have steaming hot soup, hot spicy noodle soup for that matter. So last Monday, I decided to have beef wanton noodles for dinner. I went to Chowking and ordered for it; unfortunately, it wasn't available (it was near closing time when I went to Chowking - Trinoma food court). Since I'm really craving for a hot soup at that time, I went back to Trinoma ground level to go to Tokyo Tokyo. I was supposed to order bento meal with hot miso soup but I found out they now have ramen, so I ordered for it instead.

In and Out of La Union in One Day!

Filipino - Chinese Friendship Pagoda

Last 2011, I visited La Union for the first time. I was with a friend then who went there for some family matters. Last year (3rd week of November), I again went with them. But instead of a road trip as was before, we rode the bus this time. It was just a 1-day trip, a really short stop (our travel time is way longer than our stay here) but I was still able to enjoy the day and visit several places which I haven't seen on my first visit to La Union, San Fernando in particular. ;)

La Union Food Trip: Midway Grill

Midway Grill and Restaurant

Tired and starving because of the seven (7) hours of butt-numbing trip to La Union (I went there with a friend who's attending some family business then), we decided to stop by San Fernando City and had our lunch there before we proceeded to our destination. We headed to Midway Grill and Restaurant, one of the restaurants I remember was mentioned and suggested in some blogsites.

Guest Post | Central Europe Retreats: Croatia

Step away from the traditional tourist traps in 2013 and explore somewhere different. Nestled in the heart of Central Europe, Croatia’s appeal is a diverse one. From its rich culture and beautiful architecture to the activities that will appeal to the outdoor enthusiasts, this wonderful country shouldn't go unnoticed.

Blessed with a stunning coastline and seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, it really is a hidden treasure. With translucent Adriatic waters, rocky beaches and rolling hills that make a perfect base for cycling holidays and walking excursions, you will be spoilt for choice here. Swimming and watersports opportunities are rife and, with more than 1000 islands dotted around the area, sailing is equally popular, giving people the chance to explore far and wide.

Greetings from Norway: Land of the Midnight Sun

photo source: Gracie's Network

Midnight sun! Have you heard or read about it before here? Me? I first heard of the phrase from Gracie of Gracie's Network, a Filipina who is now working and living in the land of the midnight sun Norway. When I first read her tweet (or blog-post, am not sure) about the midnight sun, it got me curious so I immediately consulted my ever reliable and know-it-all friend Google and here's what I found:

Midnight sun is a natural phenomenon wherein some countries (Norway included) north of the Arctic Circle experience daylight all throughout the 24-hour period. That is, the sun never descends beneath the horizon and that one can see it even at midnight, especially during summer when the weather is fair. (source: wikipedia)
