Relieving our beach trip to La Luz Beach Resort in Laiya, Batangas last July of 2014. Welcome Drinks (free) are available upon arrival and you will be warmly greeted at the reception. Be careful when walking on the beach shore as there are lots of pebbles and some jellyfish washed ashore. The resort is covered with white sands (not really white though, it's like dirty white or beige. Perfect for sunbathing or chilling around the beach. We have a premier room reserved good enough for a group of 8 to 10 people. It's a 2 storey loft with terrace. The beds are clean and comfy. There is not enough ventilation though. Good thing we book our room in advanced. The room rate comes with free breakfast, lunch, mirienda and dinner. Our room is located just in front of their restaurant making it easy to get in line. All their meals are buffet. Do take pictures in between breaks. There are plenty of bamboo lounge chairs but make sure to bring sunblock and mosquito repellent if you plan to stay long under the sun.

Me and my 'Amazin' Family' decided to explore Binondo, Manila (The oldest Chinatown in the world) for an amazing food trip. From our office in RCBC Makati, we took the ride from Gil Puyat LRT Station and were on foot to Ongpin. Chinatown. Our first stop is at The Arch of Goodwill one of the famous landmarks in Chinatown that symbolizes the Filipino and Chinese goodwill. The old street of Binondo is filled with restaurants that sell different Chinese foods from dimsum, noodles, dumplings and more. Our next stop is the best seller Tasty Dumplings Binondo' restaurant. They serve not just great but affordable Taiwanese style food. Their dumplings are very flavorful that will make you ask for more. We went to one of the oldest Chinese restaurant here but I forgot the name of the restaurant, my bad =( They also serve great dumplings and noodles. Our last stop was at the Café Mezzanine: A Fireman's Coffee Shop which is a fireman's life inspired restaurant. we stop for some desert and enjoyed their free wifi as well. They are famous for their 'Soup #5' (haven't tried it though as I was so full already). The rest of our time was spend in exploring the busy street of Binondo to buy some pasalubong. And that concludes our Amazin' Binondo Food Trip Adventure. Till our next visit.
