Ace Water Spa is well known for the therapeutic pools that it offer. Little did I know that they also have a bar with magnificent view of the metro's sky line. Sky high bar is located at the 21st floor of Ace Water Spa in Pasig. It offers a breathtaking view of the metro. The bar and central area are roofed but the rest of the place is not. It has a relaxing ambiance but not suited for rainy days. The best time to go here is before sunset.



This is the ultimate place if you just want to chill out and relax. No heavy music playing on the background, just majestic view that will remove all your stress from the busy life in the city.

For the appetizer, we ordered their sausage that is wrapped in bacon. The salty tasting sausage compliments the sweet barbeque sauce. And I must say, anything with bacon is delicious!


We also had carbonara and ribs for the main dish.Nothing really new with the white sauced pasta except that the bacon is not mix with the sauce.


Their ribs is served with buttered corn and potato salad. I'm not really a fan of ribs but what I like about this is the tender meat that clings to the ribs. Sky high bar is kind enough to give complimentary drinks. The foods are really affordable ranging from Php100+ for the appetizers up to Php300+ for the main dish. Beers and alcoholic drinks are quite expensive. Local beers are prices at Php100 per bottle and cocktails are around Php150+.


My overall experience with Sky High Bar is almost perfect!. I have the best view of the city that night, reasonable priced foods, soothing music and relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely recommend this place for couples who would like to have a romantic dinner or even to big groups who would love to relax and enjoy.

 One of the Filipino dishes that I really love is bulalo. I remember traveling all the way to Tagaytay just to taste their famous bulalo. And since I cannot afford to go to Tagaytay on a daily basis, I always try to look for the best or at least second best spot where they serve delicious bulalo.

I've tried to so many restaurants but I guess Tagaytay will always remind me of the best bulalo in town. Until I tried Bull Chef (Bulalo Chef). Bull Chef is situated in Kapitolyo Pasig. It's not a high end restaurant but will surely make you frequent the place.





 And this is where celebrities express how they feel about the foods at Bull Chef! As expected, everyone loves their bulalo. And I'm sure you will love it too!

I once craved for red velvet cupcakes and someone told me to try The Cookbook Kitchen for they served the best red velvet cake in town. So after a few months I decided to give it a try.

We tried their branch in Eastwood.  I'm not into fish but since it has a really nice review,  I ordered the crusted Parmesan White fFish. It tastes just fine but it's something that I won't order again on my second visit.  I mean it's good to try it but my taste buds weren't really impress. Maybe because I'm not a fish person. I didn't taste the parmesan at all. It was the one that I'm imagining to touch my tongue with butter and seasoning perfectly mix together. It tasted just like a baked cream dori.


We also tried the Sausage Pasta. It tastes more of an Italian style pasta where the sour taste overpowering the rest of the ingredients. I love pasta and I really enjoyed it with lots of Parmesan on top.


And the reason why we tried this restaurant is because of their red velvet which they proudly called Scarlet Cake. The twist is that it has a chocolate powder on top which actually reminded me of Sustagen.  It tastes delicious and by far the best red velvet cake that I've tried. It's so soft and moist. I will definitely come back for the cake.

The ambiance is relaxing especially that time that it was not crowded.  Money wise,it's ok.  It's not cheap and not expensive either.  Will probably try chicken or lamb on my next visit.

Iced tea has been my water for years now and this one is definitely one of the most refreshing that I have tried so far.


I have always been in love with Reese's peanut butter chocolate cups. So it's not surprising that this is the cupcake that I ordered. I was drooling when I saw it in the display. The cake is a bit moist but the icing is too sweet for me.

Aside from cupcakes, Vanilla Cupcake also served pasta, rice meals and sandwiches. I tried their lasagna which is really good and comes with thick and overflowing meat sauce.

If I have all the time and money in the world, I would definitely spend it in visiting all the wonderful places around the globe. I find it exciting to immerse yourself with the culture and lifestyle of other people. There's a long list of the places that I want to set foot in but of course there will always be top destinations that I want to visit really soon. These are my Must-See-Places and I hope I can visit all of these at least once in my lifetime.

1. New York

New York will be on top of my list. I always envy how Hollywood stars can afford to live a lavish lifestyle in the city that never sleeps. Aside from the famous Status of Liberty, I want to experience how a typical New Yorker spend his day in this city. I have a clear picture in mind of how tall the building are and how busy the people are because this is what I see in movies. Aside from the high taxes, heavy traffic and busy streets, I know that this city has a lot more to offer. And that's for me to find out what the Big Apple City has in store for me.

2. Paris
I have been in love with this city ever since I saw the picture of Eiffel Tower. Every time I close my eyes and think of this city, I see cupids and happy couples. Although most of the time I want to travel on my own, but given the chance to visit  this place, I will definitely bring my love one and have our picture taken with Eiffel Tower in the background. Aside from the romantic ambiance, I also admire the sense of fashion of the people who lived here. Trench coat, boots, and a leather bag to complete their outfit.

3. Japan
Ever since as a little kid, I have a unique picture in mind of what Japan looks like. I see flying cars, advance gadgets and technology. I want to visit this country to see the cherry blossoms, taste the authentic Japanese ramen, try the Kimono and hopefully see a Geisha. I admire the Japanese because they are very disciplined and hard working. I see it difficult to travel on my own here since English is not their main language. So maps, books and a lot of research is a must before going to Japan.

4. Egypt
Egypt, undoubtedly, has many historical landmarks that is worth the visit. After all, Egypt is the cradle of our civilization. I admire how they were able to preserve their rich and powerful culture. I'm dying to see their pyramids that served as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens back in the early civilization. One cannot think of Egypt without these pyramids.

5. Cambodia
Every time someone would ask me why I wanted to visit Cambodia, I always answer "Why not?". I honestly believed that Cambodia is one of the countries that tourist should visit. It may not be an influential or powerful country but I know you're with me when I say that this country is rich in culture. I would love to see Angkor Wat which is known as the largest religious monument across the globe. Aside from the different temples that have been part of a Khmer's identity, Cambodia is also well know for their sizzling street foods and white sand beaches.
