Sugaring or sugar waxing is a hair removal method similar to waxing. The only difference is that sugar waxing uses a sugaring paste which can be applied to the skin on room temperature, unlike with waxing that uses hot/warm wax.

Zomato invited me to another exciting event, the first ever Zomato Food Run. Basically, it's quite similar to a food crawl, but the main difference is that we are crossing 3 different cities and trying out dishes from 5 different restaurants . We're trying to conquer 3 prominent foodie location, BGC, Makati and Paranaque.

After a nice yoga workout session at Life Yoga, you'll definitely crave for something to fill up your tummy. But the idea of fast food will make you cringe because you've put up so much work into that yoga session to waste it by binge-eating on foods that does not help with your fitness goals.


Luckily, Vibe Cafe is literally beside the Life Yoga Studio. They serve healthy meals and drinks that will complement all the workout you've exerted in their studio. You will never feel guilty because their meals were designed to make you full, while giving you a dose of macro nutrients that your body actually needs after that hot yoga sesh.


Vibe Cafe is a quiant cafe located beside (inside as well!) the Life! Yoga studio. It is a  one stop quick shop for health buffs (of hungry foodies as well!) who has a grumbling stomach after an intense workout. I was invited to try out their dishes before they go fully announce it to the public. They were on soft opening when I visited them.

Christmas Season is not only the season of giving but also considered the season of drinking and being merry! And with every Filipino gathering, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin is always present at any given occasion.

A lot of pubs have opened around BGC area, catering to the ever busy young professionals in Taguig. With their hectic day, a lot of them have been gravitated towards pubs at the end of the day to unwind  with the company of comfort food and drinks as they wrap up their busy day.

Pablo's Pub and Restaurant is tucked between the array of specialty Asian Restaurants in The Forum building. Their interiors are inspired by European pubs (or a gentleman's pub) which will want you to sink yourself in the couch and drink the night blues away.


In line with their anniversary, Pablo's is revamping their signature burgers to make your dining (and drinking) experience more comforting. Pablo's opened its doors to us, Zomato reviewers as they unveil their new and improved signature burgers. Here are a few of the signature burgers that we tried that night:

I'm always excited when I get invited to foodie meetups by Zomato. I've been a food reviewer for Zomato since last year, and up till now, I can say that there's still a spark that makes my tummy flutters whenever I get invited.

Our Foodie Meetup location is at Oudon Restaurant. As the name implies, Oudon Restaurant specializes in dishes that utilizes oudon noodles. They even have a lot of variety of oudon dishes ranging from hot or cold dishes.


Oudon has that traditional Japanese restaurant interior that will make you and your tummy quite comfortable. Oudon also serves traditional Japanese dishes aside from their typical oudon dishes. For starters, here are some good appetizers we have tried:

If you ask me, I always dream of going to Paris. Paris, in my vivid imagination seems to be an aesthetically attractive city in terms of the structures, environment, the French people and also their cuisine. French cuisine seemed to be more delicate but notable.


Le Jardin is a new French restaurant that opened at the penthouse of W 5th building. It has a garden theme which transports you back to the streets of Paris. It is owned by French Chef Gils Brault, known for his restaurant in Vietnam. Chef Hasset Go and Chef Jonas Ng are the people who convinced Chef Gils to put up Le Jardin here in the country.

As I stepped inside the restaurant, I can't help but stand in awe as how pretty the place was. It has a tasteful interior which any girl would instantly gush for. We were greeted by Operations Manager and happily toured us around the place.


We were briefed that we'll be trying their degustation menu. Chef Jonas mentioned that they didn't want to call it degustation because their menu and concept is a bit different than the normal degustation menu. One glance at the menu, their prices were a bit hefty, so my expectations of the food is a bit high as well.

Chicken Charlie have a quaint take out/dining shop at Bonifacio Global City. You might miss their branch because it is tucked between several dining establishment and located near Burgos Circle. But despite the tough competition because of a wide variety of choices in the area, the store is usually packed specially during lunchtime, Most of its patrons are employees from nearby offices who eats lunch there or have several packs taken out.

Aldous invited us to just hang and try out Chicken Charlie. Here's what we had that night of pigging (or should I say chicken-ing??!!) out.


I ordered their Milo Dino because it is one of their bestsellers. I was kind of hesitant at first if it will go well with their soy-garlic chicken, but it turned out to be okay. the flavor of our favorite Milo drink was rich and too sweet for me (well, I really find Milo too sweet so that's why). The surprise came in when I slurped some bits of jelly at the bottom.

Zhu Kitchen is a small kitchenette located at the heart of BGC. Managed by Chef Karl, a former veteran, he had turned Zhu Kitchen as a laid back place to dine with the whole family.

I was invited for a Zomato meetup, where foodies and Zomads convene to talk about, of course, food. I enjoy attending these foodie meetups because I get to bond with fellow foodies and share with them a lot of things. Chef Karl has shared a lot of war stories that were admirable. It was a joyful event with a sumptioous spread.

Paprika is a new small restaurant that serves comfort food and crafted drinks. Situated at RCBC Building in Bonifacio Global City (just across the Fort Strip), Paprika may have a smaller space, but their interiors screams of comfortable dining experience.


Foodie bloggers were invited hours before their grand launch last Friday to try their dishes and drinks. Panjee, the owner/operations manager had welcomed us despite their busy schedule that day. I loved that Paprika serve dishes that are familiar to the Filipino tastebuds, simple but definitely with a twist.
