The New Normal
June 9, 2020
We are at the mere half
of the year, yet, it has paved ways to predicaments that we wished were simply fleeting
jests and to a lot of self-realizations. 2020 for sure has changed not just the
drop of a life we have, but the whole ocean that we are a part of. The current
situation has led, for some, to an existential crisis and a question of
productivity, or for others, a dismal path and worse, a loss of a significant
other. So, here I am writing a feature which has been long overdue to instill
some sense of normalcy, if there such a thing nowadays. I miss creating
content. I miss the laidback dinner banter with friends. I miss the routines of
humdrum experiences and quotidian learnings. The notions of “back to normal” or
“business as usual” are perhaps far from possible since, given the
circumstances, there will be no going back. There is only the new normal.

Coffee Redefined
October 17, 2019
Unadulterated pop-ups and humble coffee corners have long pioneered the third wave coffee scene in Cagayan de Oro. Added to that are local and international franchises that have became staples to the Kagay-anon coffee aficionados. However, a conceptualized homegrown coffee shop that will serve dependable third wave coffee has not been realized, not until the outset of a new go-to place for authentic caffeine treat and its complementing fares, that is, H Proper Coffee Roasters. It is a truly remarkable Kagay-anon pride that promises to bring the best approaches to roasting and brewing local and international beans while offering the best delights that will complement them.

Breakfast Done Right
August 17, 2019
Sukhumvit Road is one of
the major highways in the city of Bangkok. It is like what EDSA is to Manila
sans the extraordinarily grueling traffic and heavy pollution. A cluster of shopping
malls, restaurants, and residential areas can be made out in this part. And,
when an area is flocked by many, dinning surely behooves as an abundant facet. Food
and drinks of all sorts are experiences not to be missed in the country. These
experiences offer a unique kind of flair of the modern and the traditional,
whether you are buzzing for breakfast or elevenses, chowing on a big lunch, or
retiring to a comforting tea or dinner. As we steered towards our last hours in
the lovely city of Bangkok, we stopped at a cozy, Japanese-inspired specialty
coffee bar, Hands and Heart, to relish in our last full meal.
A Menagerie of Things
August 3, 2019
Thailand is probably one
of the best places to revel in the exquisite experience of third wave coffee
movement, especially in the cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, as they are known
for brewing their locally sourced coffee beans. And, when I say “experience,”
third wave coffee is more than just sipping a cup of latte or marveling on the
deliberate process of brewing coffee. This experience has transcended into both
a lifestyle and an art. Acclimatizing into the movement mean appreciating the
drink, the process, the coffee place, and everything that goes with it.
Definitely, Bangkok’s cafes put on a show, with each one emulating its own style
and offering a menagerie of things, such as the likes of Phak Crafts and Café.
