Flavors of Pampanga: Fiddlehead Fern, Freshwater Prawns and Sisig at Binulo Restaurant

No trip to Pampanga will be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Renowned as one of the country's culinary regions, Pampanga up north offers a wide variety of flavors unique to the province. A stop at Binulo Restaurant inside the Clark Freeport Zone offers a proper introduction to Capampangan cuisine...


Named after the indigenous method of cooking by the local aeta tribes using fresh bamboo, Binulo Restaurant serves comforting homestyle and authentic Capampangan dishes. A day after a grand celebration by AirAsia at Midori Hotel & Casino (for more on AirAsia's grand celebration as the World's Best Low-Cost Airline for the tenth straight year by Skytrax, see my post on my other travel blog, #WeAreAllChampions: AirAsia Remains The World's Best Low-Cost Airline For The Tenth Consecutive Year), a hearty lunch at Binulo Restaurant before the drive home was included in the itinerary and what a feast...

Breakfast at Widus Hotel & Casino: Bring Home The Bacon. And Kimchi.

It was good to be back at the North's emerging metropolis. More and more, Clark in Pampanga is looking like the promised destination showcasing the very best with its modern and updated infrastructure and continuing development. Checking in at Widus Hotel & Casino, I was already looking forward to the sumptuous breakfast buffet at Salt Resto...


Breakfast was still a day away, but I already had breakfast on my mind the minute we arrived at Widus Hotel & Casino. My visit to Clark was for the AirAsia celebration as the World's Best Low-Cost Airline for the tenth consecutive year. That's ten in a row, and no small feat in the competitive commercial aviation industry (for more on AirAsia's grand celebration for its recognition as the World's Best Low-Cost Airline for the tenth straight year by Skytrax, see my post on my other travel blog at #WeAreAllChampions: AirAsia Remains The World's Best Low-Cost Airline For The Tenth Consecutive Year). Since my first visit to Widus Hotel & Casino four years ago (see my previous posts here at Upping the Ante Up North at Widus Hotel and Casino and on my other travel blog at Changing The Game Up North at Widus Hotel and Casino), it's good to see the property has kept its sparkle and maintained well over the years.

Temptation in a Cup: Pia Dailo's Delicate Brazo Cups

I've had a thing for Brazo de Mercedes for years.

Pia Dailo's Brazo Cups will make you fall in love all over again with Mercedes' tempting arms...

A Cook's Tour With No Reservations To Parts Unknown: Chef Decker Gokioco's Chef's Table Tribute To Anthony Bourdain at U Hotels

Culinary icon. Rebel. Master storyteller. Modern day poet. Words you don't normally use to describe one of the most influential culinary icons in recent decades, but Anthony Bourdain wasn't your usual TV personality. Gone too soon, Anthony Bourdain's legacy lives on in countless lives within and beyond the culinary world inspired by his deep, insightful, and sometimes painfully honest narrative from his many travels around the world. In one special evening, he is remembered and honored at U Hotels...  


Chef Decker Gokioco, culinary consultant for U Hotels, recently hosted a Chef's Table tribute to Anthony Bourdain with a lavish feast of inspired dishes celebrating the life of probably this generation's most influential culinary and travel TV host. Casual yet intimate with free-flowing ice-cold bottles of beer, it was a fitting tribute to the man who opened the world with his stories, sharing the uniqueness of the locale yet realizing it's the simple joys that bind us together whether its the Cacio e Pepe in Rome or simply not dunking your nigiri in soy sauce in Tokyo. For Anthony Bourdain, food was always only a part of a much bigger picture...
