One of my latest food finds in Binondo is this; Lava Pao. Huhu. Eng Bee Tin sells this by piece but the filling of the one that I had there was already dry. I went inside the store and saw that they sell frozen ones so I got one.

I forgot how much is one plastic since this is in my backlog for months now.

Steamed the buns as per instructions in the package.

The custard is the perfect balance of salty and sweet taste. I'm not a fan of the meat siopaos though I eat them sometimes (bola-bola>asado) but this one, I can eat everyday. haha.

Aside from lava pao, I also love Eng Bee Tin's Ube Siopao and of course, their matcha tikoy!

Habitat is a butterfly sanctuary.

Great place to visit especially for children 'cause they will learn about moths and butterflies.

If butterflies are the day shift insects; moths would be the night shifts.

Baklang Butterfly.

May mga bagay (tao) na akala mong makati pero hindi pala. Maihugot lang ganern? hahaha.

My first time holding a caterpillar. Not bad.

"Caterpillar 'to ngayon, ma'am pero caterpilay na siya mamaya kapag hindi mo inayos 'yung hawak." SARREH NA HAHAHA

Liparin kaya ko nito papunta sa'yo? hahaha.

What's Bohol Trip if you're not gonna see Tarsiers?

My second time in Bohol.

Bohol before the earthquake struck link: here.

I looked for other places worth visiting in Bohol 'cause there has to be more places to visit in this beautiful island but all I found is the countryside tour, which as of this writing, I've done for three times already. I'm not complaining, universe!! I'm just curious of the other places aside from Panglao and those visited during a countryside tour.

Our first stop for that day was Dauis Church.

It is still undergoing rehabilitation from the damages it had when an earthquake struck the province in 2013. They don't hold masses inside but visitors can come in for a quick look.

You can get the plastic bottles filled with holy water in exchange for monetary donation.

Bohol is known as the "City of Friendship" because it is where the Blood Compact happened. Blood compact symbolizes the friendship of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, a spanish explorer and Datu Sikatuna, chieftain of Bohol.

Baclayon Church

It's also undergoing rehabilitation but unlike Dauis, visitors are not allowed to go in. There used to be an image of St. Pio in the wall at my back but it also got damaged during the earthquake.

Chocolate Hills

There is currently two viewing decks to see the Chocolate Hills (which are currently matcha hills) this one is the one in Carmen.

Emotera forevs.

For thrill seekers, there is CHAP or Chocolate Hills Adventure Park. It has a zipline and a skybike (similar to the one in Eden Nature Park, Davao)

Okay na lang na dito mapagod kesa kakaisip sa'yo... charotttt. <3

Shawarma Bros and Genki Sushi both have branches in BGC Stopover and they've now gone North. I really appreciate restaurants from the South branching out here in Quezon City especially in UPTC because that's where I find myself going more these days.

This can be found in the ground floor of UPTC's phase two where Shakeaway is.

The way of ordering in Genki Sushi is thru an ipad. Choices are printed out and are also found in the ipad. Don't worry though 'cause the crew will be there to guide you if you're a first-timer.

This is my favorite part of Genki Sushi. HAHAHA!

That's unlimited matcha right there. :))

They have complimentary matcha powder and hot water in each table. As per the crew's instructions, the normal scoop of matcha is just two to three per cup. I'm not normal so I made mine with five to six scoops each. Haha! Seriously though, I hope they sell their matcha powder. :)))) You have an avid buyer in me, Genki Sushi!

The orders will be delivered via these little trains.

The way of ordering and delivering is actually the main reason why we wanted to try this out but their food is equally worth the reason why Genki Sushi's a must try.

Our orders cost us around P 900.00 and only two of us ate everything. We have big appetite so I can't say if you'll be able to eat this much too for a meal. HAHAHA.

Will I consider going back in Genki Sushi?

Of course! I have yet to taste their matcha ice cream. :( I was saving space back then for Manila Creamery's Matcha Taho so I skipped having the green tea ice cream even if I almost grabbed the order of the people seated next to us when their ice cream passed by. :)))

My friends and I went to Tomas Morato for a Japanese dessert shop but we decided to eat dinner first. I searched the internet for the nearest Korean Restaurant in the area except for Hwaroro and Hanayo since the last two are buffets.

Aside from grilled meats, they have ala carte items and shabu-shabu as well.

I don't know what this soup is called but it's refreshing to have this alternately eaten with Kimchi Chigae. Gosh, why can't I eat spicy food?!

Banchan are okay. Not a lot but okay. Nah, I just wanted a myeolchi bokkeum hahaha but the side dishes are fine.

First time eating in a Korean Restaurant where there's scrambled egg on the grill.

I also liked the sweet potato. hehe. There were only two pork slices for an order of one samgyeopsal.

It was the waitress who grilled the slices for us so that's a plus.

Kimchi Chigae

We had this made as mild but it was still spicy for me that I had to order a cup of rice just to enjoy eating this. :)) It was good though just that I prefer to taste spiciness and sourness in my kimchi chigae. Ayoko ng anghang lang. Pero Korean eh. hehe

Kimbap!!

Kakamiss!!!

Okay, even with the lack of description for each food item above since this is delayed for more than a month, I think Korean J Grill is one of the "okay" restaurants in Tomas Morato. I have visited two more within the area but they didn't make it to the blogosphere. lol.
