Casa Moderna – Home of the Best Panbonete

January 3, 2013 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Casa Moderna

Moderna Bakery (now Casa Moderna) opened its doors to the Naguenos more than 65 years ago. Its main bakery sits along Bagumbayan (with other branches in the centro and around the city) – bright, clean and smells deliciously of bread. Known for their pancit (which has chicharon or lechon kawali on it) and for their […]

Balay Cena Una – Feast for the Senses

November 16, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Balay Cena Una

One of my favorite places in Albay is a family owned restaurant in Daraga. Balay Cena Una is a restaurant that truly pleases the senses. Set in a beautifully restored ancestral home, soaking in the old photos, the antique collector’s items, the wooden banisters (walls, floors and tables) is already a feast for the eyes […]

La Huerta Organic Farm, Rinconada’s Gateway to the Arts

November 7, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

La Huerta

La Huerta de Rosario – where Farming is an Art (and the Farm is the Artist’s Canvass) – has become a favourite place to bring visitors for lunch (especially on the way to Legazpi). The organic vegetables in season feed our hungry visitors, but the paintings, the plants, and the homey ambiance fills the soul.  There is […]

Take a Trip to Gawad Kalinga’s Enchanted Farm

November 4, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Enchanted Farm

During J’s first few months, he was able to have his first McDonald’s visit, his first Bonchon trip, his first visit to SM Megamall and Trinoma. The rest of the time, we stayed at home – trying to learn the ropes of parenthood and multitasking. After taking him to nearby areas in the metropolis, we decided […]

Enchanted Farm Cafe

Looking for a new place to eat? Have coffee? And chat with friends? Here are our favourite finds in Quezon City.  Although I haven’t had the chance to travel with Tom as much as I wanted to since Spiral Sun started, I did have to leave Naga mid-June for Manila. I took an AirPhilExpress flight on […]

Bubble Town Bubble Tea in Bicol (Naga finds!)

March 11, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Bubble Town in Bicol

Although it may seem self-serving to be writing about Bubble Town, I think this blog deserves to have a piece (or more) on Naga City’s first bubble tea house. Several other blogs have written reviews on the place and I’m positive that there are a good number of happy comments on Facebook – so, I’ll […]

Laksa in Naga

February 10, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Laksa in Naga

Update (as of 2016) : Laksa closed several years ago, but the chef responsible for the great dishes here has opened another great restaurant (with Laksa!) along Panganiban Drive. Check out Global Kitchen! —————- Tom and I have been wanting to try Laksa for over a month now but never really got to crossing over […]
