A hidden Paradise called Treasure Trove

I have been invited to work with this hidden gem in Batac City, Ilocos Norte called The Treasure Trove. I was tapped to create some of their marketing content and it was so reminiscent on my end because finally, it’s been a few years that I haven’t covered some lifestyle and travel related content for

Tita Kit’s Ensaymadas – Fluffy & Buttery goodness!

Tita Kit’s Ensaymadas easily became one of the most favourite ensayamadas in the city. Who could resist their soft, and buttery sweet dough that is baked to transform into pillowy buns? It’s not “new”, of course… ensayamadas. But what makes them stand out is how they generously smother these babies with endless choices of frosting

Lush interiors at the Kamarinn Cafe

Spending time in Kamarinn Cafe felt like a quick get-away from the city. Overlooking the Paoay Lake, dining here also means enjoying it with the most beautiful sunsets. Even on a slightly gloomy day, the lake view was still stunning. It’s also a very well-ventilated area. You get fresh air coupled with the owner’s menagerie

PAM’S: Something new yet feels like home

Visiting La Preciosa had a different feel today but in a good way. Aside from the authentic Ilocano dishes we all go there for, not to mention how all the tourists we used to have in Ilocos Norte pre-pandemic MUST have a taste of their famous carrot cake and of course, to at least be

Ilocos Cordillera Drive Tour

Ilocos Cordillera Drive Tour: Solsona-Apayao Scenic Mountain Drive Breakast with a view is always a good idea! Loving the pop-up activities that Tourism Ilocos Norte is coming up with during this crazy-trying times. We can’t go in and out of the province or travel like we used to for now, but we’re definitely favoured to

Food Frolicking in Playa Tropical Resort

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, we found ourselves having the privilege to be the first ones to try out Playa Tropical Resort’s relaunched restaurant and new menu. To be honest, the food was already good way back. Most were very homey Ilocano dishes and I believe most of their guests were tourists so they’d totally

Unli K-bbq satisfaction at Jinjeonghan

Let’s face it. The Korean Bbq craze is rapidly making it on the list of our comfort food cravings and there is no doubt that Korean cuisine is so good! I live in a small city so when there is something new, it easily blows up like a wildfire as people are talking about it
