Another tourist destination ticked off my bucket list is no other the Berlin Wall. This historically popular wall in Berlin was a barrier that divided the city from 1961 to 1981. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic, starting on 13 August 1961 and it was opened in November 1981. It came to symbolise the "Iron Curtain" that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. I enjoyed just walking along the Berlin Wall, looking on all those graffiti arts and learning the historical facts on as to how this wall became the city's main tourist attraction. Will gonna share with you more tourist spot in Berlin on my next blog post to just keep on visiting my blog to all my dear readers!

Travel: Louvre Museum

How's your week so far? Hope you're still inspired on travelling the world and aiming to visit that dream country you have always been planning for. Let me share you again one tourist spot not to miss in Paris which is the Louvre Museum. 

The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum, that has become a landmark of the city of Paris.

We were not able to go inside the museum due to time constraints but just strolling around the courtyard area was good enough experience for me. You'll be amazed at the architectural designs and it's the perfect spot to have that picturesque scene of Paris for cover photo of your Facebook or profile photo in your Instagram (LOL!) I just love how every corner of Paris always offer some magnificent structural wonders and it's indeed a must-visit country in Europe. Louvre Museum is located in the heart of Paris near River Seine.

Travel: ICE BAR BGC

I finally made it to Imperial Ice Bar located at Bonofacio Global City in Manila. There's no other place cooler than this, taking a shot of vodka in that freezing temperature. Of course as Pinoy who used to live in 2 seasons (dry/wet) we're all getting crazy of trying out that winter climate so here's the best bar to try out.

Hard Rock Hotel Singapore

Welcome to Hard Rock Hotel Singapore! The next best hotel for me after the infamous Marina Bay Sands with that iconic infinity pool. My very first experience at Hard Rock Hotel was far beyond my hotel experience as it surely exceeded my expectations. We had a night staycation here and it was one unforgettable experience from their vast swimming pools, high-end technical facilities and modern interiors.

Pulai Resort Restaurant Johor Malaysia

The best of part of any vacation will be the holiday feast most hotel chains would perfectly combine to the amenities of the resort like buffet breakfast and specialty restaurant. What else would be better than room service like what I have experienced at Pulai Resort Restaurant located at Johor Malaysia.  

Your diet will be on vacation mode as well for I'm sure no one can resist all these food selections available in this restaurant. I'm not a totally fan of Malay food but I do love spicy foods so all the Malaysian food items I tasted here were worth every calories intake. Malay cuisine is somewhat similar to Pinoy food for their love with seafoods & local vegetables that seemed to be a staple food items in the menu, except for their one-of-a-kind chili paste that I will always crave for every meal time. 

The morning buffet was also an intense morning eye opener for the wide selections of Asian, American & Western breakfast menu selections from the basic cereals & toasted breads down to their delectable dumplings & omelettes. I had some healthy options for this buffet and tried to taste the unusual ones I seldom eat back in Singapore.

So just drool over this liscious foods I had at Pulai Spring Resort Malaysia and forget about the diet thing just once in a while. Hope you enjoy this blog post.

PappaMia Bistro & Bar

Located along River Valley Road, this bistro & bar is the ultimate hang out place for a Sunday wine night, drinking spree with friends or maybe if you just wanna grab a bottle of beer with a friend for some good night talk. PappaMia Bistro & Bar is situated near the infamous Spize so it's easy to spot & was recommended by a friend of mine whose working in GWC area. 

I would always recommend to try their truffle fries & chicken pops for pulutan (side dish). You also have to try their long island tea wherein alcohol level can be personally requested to be modified LOL! (Thanks to the friendly staff) Or you can have a bottle of Merlot red wine as well. The bar comes with indoor & outdoor seating area & the food & drinks are really affordable. Worth a try!

Bag of Beans Tagaytay

Tagaytay is known for its laid back feel perfect for a Sunday family fun day and ideal as well for friends looking for a great dinner with a perfect picture spot. Recently there was so much reviews about Bag of Beans Tagaytay so I  made it to a point to check it out. As what they claim that this food haven is serving great food & ambience, I was not disappointed at all. Coz if you haven't been here, you're probably missing half of your life.

Starting off the experience with their famous black coffee was just a wonderful experience on a cool afternoon with a open space and lots of comfortable nooks. You will really appreciate nature in here if you want a break from the city. While waiting for the food items to be served, we had so much fun laughing out loud & remembering our memories of Tagaytay back in college  days.

Bag of Beans is nestled in unman cured garden setting in Tagaytay. It's actually the experience and ambience that you would be paying for aside from the food. That make drinking coffee here in a totally different experience. Bag of Beans has been brewing Kapeng Barako and Kapeng Alamid for locals & tourist for almost 13 years now. Many people may go here because of their scrumptious cheesecakes while having a sip of their aromatic coffee. They also serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course don't forget to drop by their souvenir store where you can buy pasalubong like breads, pastries & coffee beans.

Republ1c Wakepark Restaurant

Extreme sports like wake boarding is such an amusing scene especially if your an avid fan of water sports even if you're really not that sporty kind of person. What if you have the benefit of this view right from your table while enjoying a whole meaty pizza & a bottle of San Mig beer.

Republ1c Wakepark Restaurant located in Nuvali Sta. Rosa Laguna is one of the top spot for extreme wakeboarding sports in the Philippines. It's been quite some time since I first experience the excitement here so there's no doubt of coming back here again for some sporty weekend with friends. 

Repul1c Wakepark Restaurant offers decent & luscious meals after a sweaty wet and wild afternoon of pure sports activity. Previously I attempted the beginners track and after smashing myself into the water for several times, I decided to give up. This time around, I got myself fully confident to try the advance level and guess what, it was a success for a newbie like me. Afterwards, I felt all the hunger in the world so we decided to take dinner. We had Laing Pizza (Php 330.00) served with a cold bottle of San Mig beer. We tried Seafood Pasta (Php 195.00) flavoured with sauteed shrimp & asparagus in olive oil. Asian Chicken Cashew (Php 150.00) was also a bowl perfectly done if youre craving for rice. 

Oh well, sometimes we just really have to enjoy life through good food. So if you'll be passing by Laguna area or maybe on your way to Tagaytay, make sure to drop by at Nuvali and have a bite only at Republ1c WakePark Restaurant.

Dine @ Log

With the increasing awareness of people to proper health & keeping the body fit, most of us would prefer going out for dinner spot that offers relish food items that are healthy & nutritious. Having burgers, pastas or sandwiches doesn't mean unhealthy at all after trying out the newest wholesome restaurant named Dine @ Log.

They have the best menu offerings for everyone ranging from salad, starter, burger, main course meal & ala carte and side dishes. That's not all as they also offer dessert & beverages plus the healthy drinks which really impressed me (mixed juices from real fresh fruits).

I took my family out for a diner here & we left the place fully satisfied & feeling oh so healthy as well. The interior, ambience & the place you'll really love especially the food & healthy drinks. A delicious & healthy dinner for everyone.

Rice Empire Macau

No restaurant takes notion of "rice cuisine" as seriously as Rice Empire located at Sans Cotai Central making it as the perfect location for a lunch or dinner hour for a perfect & relaxing meal. I'm fully satisfied with their wide selections on Asian & Cantonese cuisine wherein menu offerings will range from rice, noodle, dumplings, meat, congee, cold fish & desserts too.

I had the Fried Rice with Minced Beef & Kimchi which was a good choice since I'm a Korean food lover. The rice quality was superb & really compliments well with its chili paste & minced beef. Their dumplings are a must try, so authentic & fresh it feels like it melts in your mouth with all the flavours infused inside. Since I don't eat pork I wasn't able to have a taste of their braised pork belly but my friends told me it was undoubtedly the best braised pork he had so far. The braised beef noodle, having the delicious smell from the broth, creating flavours that was put into one bowl is the kind of delicious that stops conversation.
