Museo Pambata

Museo Pambata pleasantly surprised me when we paid a visit. Not only was it very educational for the kids, but also very entertaining and fun.... for young kids, and the young at heart!

History can never be more fun than this. These are found in the Maynila Noon/Old Manila room. Other stuffs to do here are ride the model tranvia, board a Spanish Galleon or step into a miniature cathedral.

These are found in the Bata sa Mundo/Children in the Global Village room. Dolls of children from different parts of the world are seen wearing their national costumes along with other miniatures.

These are found in the Katawan Ko/My Body Works room. Watch your kids have fun in here as they explore and actually step into the wonderful world of the human anatomy.

Your kids will have enjoy these huge scale models of different body parts that emit their body sound when pressed! I did!

For me, this room, the Tuklas/Science Through Discovery room, is one of the most enjoyable ! There is just so much to explore and do in here similar to science experiments.

One favorite area in the museum that was my instant favorite is this corridor lined by artworks hung on both walls created by gifted young Filipino artists.

There is even so much more to explore in the museo. I wish I could share them all.... The Marketplace.... The Craft Room.... The Career Options.... The Environment.... all designed and layed out to be interesting for the kids and kids alike.

Give your kids an experience, both fun and educational that is surely worth it and come to Museo Pambata. It is all worth it.

Vigan Longganisa

Vigan longganisa with egg helped us welcome the new day of the new year. This was today's breakfast after all the partying and celebrating during the holiday season. It was a bit on the sour timpla, but the spices and the garlic blended well to give it its distinct taste.

This was today's breakfast.... very Pinoy, simple but power-packed, and hopefully, just how the coming year will be for all of us.

Kain na!

Happy New Year!

May the coming year bring more blessings, more love and more peace in our hearts. From our home to yours, happy new year!

Gerry's Grill

The foodtrip never stops this season! And surely, we will not let this holiday season pass without tripping to a certified favorite, Gerry's Grill. It now has more branches in the Metro, right inside the mall, still with its bright and cheery interiors

A trip to Gerry's Grill means indulging in two of my favorite Filipino dishes, Inihaw na Pusit and Sisig.

Their Sisig hasn't changed. Served on a sizzling plate with calamansi on the side, bits of crunchy chicharon top this oh so sinfully delicious dish. It is so versatile that you can enjoy it as pulutan or as ulam. I think this is one of the dishes that made Gerry's grill famous.

But definitely, it wouldn't be easy for the Sisig to outshine my favorite Inihaw na Pusit! This is the only restaurant where I would enjoy this. They cook it just the way I want it... just the right bite and not tough (never rubbery), moist and not dry, really tasty and not bland. A visit to Gerry's grill is never without it for me.

We will always come back for more.
