Crazy Hanoi Motorcycles: Ish Meets Vietnam

In recent months, the MMDA’s implementation of the motorcycle lanes in Commonwealth Ave. and EDSA has caused a lot of controversies.
The non-exclusivity of the EDSA lanes means that when there’s a lot of traffic (ALWAYS), cars take up the lane and the motorcycles need to weave around again.
In Vietnam, I’ve seen a similar concept but it still amazes me how the roads are completely dominated by motorcycles. Cars have nearly no space! See the photos below:

With the current state of traffic in Metro Manila, I’m on the fence about the increase in number of motorcycle riders. On one hand, they are certainly a faster mode of transportation. On the other hand, the lack of discipline of many of the riders has made the roads a lot more dangerous. What do you think?

Myeongdong Street Food Review: (Video) Seoul, South Korea

Fishcake Myeongdong is one of the most popular tourist districts in the center of Seoul, Korea. Located just on the foot of Mount Namsan and the famous N Seoul Tower, you can’t miss this area if you’re on a tour of the city. One of the big reasons for a visit? Lots of great shopping opportunities and a bustling street food market! In the video below, my friends and I try to sample as much of the food as we can. We  give you honest reviews of each item so that you’ll know what you can’t miss and what you can skip when you visit Myeongdong Street Food Market. Off the top of my head, I highly recommend: 1.

Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran-ppang/bbang) 2. Steak: I can’t be sure if this is the highly regarded Korean beef (Hanwoo) or not. However, I can guarantee that the beef they sell on the street here is much better than

NANYANG Philippines Serves Singapore's Finest Delights

Late lunch at Nanyang Philippines (Glorietta) I was pleasantly surprised to find out that NANYANG is a homegrown brand especially after sampling some of their menu items. The restaurant chain offers the classic Singaporean "kopi tiam" or coffee shop experience which has become popular not just for SG locals but also for those visiting the vibrant city-state.  Singapore is one of the favorite destinations for Filipino travellers, making their food culture something that is familiar to many of us. NANYANG aims to satisfy one's cravings with a nostalgic trip back to those memorable days in Singapore. For those who have never been, the restaurant introduces authentic flavors that transport the diner more than a thousand miles away without having to bust out a passport.  Traditional Kaya Toast Set Meal (Php168) We could not visit NANYANG without having one of their traditional Nonya Kaya Toast set meals. It comes with a toast filled with butter and Kaya spread, two soft boiled

My friends and I enjoying the Oktoberfest party! Earlier this month, my foodie friends and I attended one of the special "Party Days to Remember" at Brotzeit Shangri-La @ The Fort, BGC. During our visit, The Anton Showband was around to entertain us with their lively and engaging performances. The band came all the way from Germany specifically for Brotzeit's signature party days which were held at Brotzeit BGC on Sept. 27 and 29, and Brotzeit Alabang on Sept. 28.  Wearing my traditional Dirndl and posing with The Anton Showband We could not help but to sing and dance as the band played traditional Bavarian music during the event.
