VLOG : My Mother's Hometown in Bohol and Eating Fresh Sea Urchins

Hello guys. Let's welcome a new month with a travel adventure. This time, I'd love to share here my family trip that happened weeks ago when we visited my mother's place. At first, we all thought it was just a normal vacation to break our current routine in the city then it was way more than that. Boy, we were all damn wrong. Unexpectedly, they prepared good things like fresh foods  there so we could all have some good time and make new memories as well. If I were to summarize that trip, then I'd definitely say it's one for the books. Something unexpected but definitely hits the right spot. A second home indeed for all of us.

Family Dinner at STK Ta Bai and Coffee Time

Hi guys! How are you doing these days? Today, I'll share a family gathering this time. We were scheduled to meet a family friend who is from Manila and just came to Cebu for a short business trip. Of course, meeting family members means introducing good old Cebuano dishes. I mean going to Paolito STK Bai. Yes! You heard it right. 

Where is it located?
It is located in Sky Park, third floor,  SM Seaside City Cebu  City, SRP.

My Vlog Experience Right Here

My Top 5 Reasons to Visit This Restaurant
1. The interiors / atmosphere
Truly, they showcase vintage art pieces ranging from furniture, table set up, antique picture frames and even more. Going there somehow gives you a glimpse of how Cebu looked like back in the day.

2. Foods
Of course, the foods they serve are delicious and  truly hit the spot. They are always recommended even by tour guides in and out of the country.

3. The price point
Though they have maintained the quality of their foods, I must say they prices are technically reasonable. Just a good balance of portion and price range. Besides, most of the foods are meant for sharing.

4. The variety of dishes
Yes to this. They have all sorts of foods from serving meat, seafoods, vegetable dishes and even good desserts and beverages. Truly they cater all kinds of people from young to old and both male and female alike.

5. Cleanliness and customer service
I must say that their cleanliness is really evident.  Everything is cleaned properly and decent enough. In addition, their staff is also approachable and accommodating. Truly, it feels like a second home.

Well, if you ask me, I really had a good time having a good conversation with family and ending it with a good kind of coffee. It really completed my day. Sometimes it's good to be offline and connect with your loved ones.  Moments like this always last a lifetime I believe.

Welcome back to my blog. I'll bring you along with me as we explore this new restaurant in the city. The name is Seafoods and Ribs Warehouse Restaurant. It's famous for their seafoods and freshly cooked ingredients which customers can actually choose the kind of cooking according to their liking. 

Where is it located?
It's located in Skypark, 3rd floor, SM Seaside City Cebu, SRP, Cebu City .

My TOP FIVE Recommended Dishes 
1. Their house special - Their RIBS  (It comes with a side dish of veggies and mashed potato already)
2. Their sisig 
3. Chopseuy
4. Tuna Kinilaw 
5. Garlic Shrimps

My Vlog Experience Here


That's all for now my friends. I recommend this place if you fancy seafoods and good atmosphere at the same time. Just do be careful with the prices though since the seafood prices depend on its weight per grams. Always ask and confirm the total price before having the foods cooked before you get a shock of your like. Just kidding though.

Birthday Vlog Part 2 + Meeting his Pet, Scooby + Top 5 Reasons To Eat At Home

Here's the part 2 of his birthday vlog. Aside from spending his birthday the Viking's style, we decided to spend it at home with family as well. That way, we could spend more time with them and do the cooking by ourselves. Nothing beats cooking together and eating a heart meal with your significant others.

His Birthday Vlog Part 2





5 Reasons Why Celebrating Birthdays At Home Is Better
1. Save Money
True that. By celebrating your birthdays at home means you can maximize your budget to prepare the foods and drinks that you want. An added bonus also is you can ask some friends and family to bring what foods they can share for everybody to enjoy. A win-win solution definitely.

2. Family Time
Yes to this. Family time should be regarded as a priority these days. Spending your special events at home is always a good time to savor the moment and just have fun. That way, your relationship gets to be deeper and better as  time goes by.

3. Know what you are eating
I like this part right here. By preparing the foods and drinks at home means that you have this guarantee about the foods' quality and nutrition. We know how our foods are prepared and that is good enough to enjoy the party without the guilt-feeling afterwards.

4. Your portion control will be better.
Strangely but it works that way. The size of the foods on the table sometimes may look huge enough that we just eat little and not really cheat and overeat. In addition, you know you can eat longer at home so there's no pressure at all to eat everything at once.

5. Less likely to gain weight.
True. Why? The answer is very easy. The kinds of foods and drinks you can prepare and personalize if you prefer actually. That way, you can be sure that only the good kinds of nutrients and vitamins are consumed by the whole family members. 

There you have it my friends. Thank you for dropping by. Hope you all have a good day. Take care.
