Since April Fools' Day calls for a celebration, we're toasting with the rich & refined Don Julio 1942 Tequila. We're also having grilled fish, realizing it's been exactly a year since I last enjoyed it in Cagayan. Strange how I went so long without it.

Cheers!

Chingolo is the brainchild of Erwan Heussaff and Nico Bolzico. Tucked behind the deli is a snug little restaurant where you can savor perfectly cooked, grass-fed beef from Argentina.

This is their Steak Nasi Goreng and Beef Salpicao with Sourdough. Absolutely divine!

Time to eat a lot. Again.

A bubbling pot, endless ingredients, and pure comfort in every bite. Tong Yang Grill & Shabu-shabu is my favorite hot pot and grill in Manila.

A well-balanced breakfast if you ignore the lack of carbs. Protein, fruit, and just enough bacon to keep me from being too healthy. Marco Pierre White might approve of the omelette… if he doesn't look too closely.

Penne al Ragù

There's nothing quite like a good plate of pasta, especially when you've made it yourself. The process, from selecting the ingredients to simmering the sauce just right, makes every bite even more satisfying. Simple pleasures.

Here’s to surviving another year and wrecking the next one like the champions we are. Happy New Year!

Oh and forget resolutions—let’s just be our bad-ass selves in 2025.

This is definitely a Christmas greeting.

So, Merry Christmas everyone! May your holiday be as sweet as my second helping.

A friendship spanning more than two decades deserves a celebration, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a bottle of cognac?

Nothing like Thai food from your favorite restaurant to get you out of bed.

Som's Thai Laksa, Satay. Beef Red Curry, Fried Rice, and Mango Sticky Rice.

Apple TV+ has the best titles. Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Silo, Slow Horses, Disclaimer, Foundation. Next, I'd say Prime for The Boys, Bosch, Good Omens, Yellowjackets, Mr. Robot. AND you could always sign up for a trial to watch something like Mare of Eastown or True Detective on HBO.

This doesn't taste like beer at all, and with 4% ABV, it's definitely not for serious drinkers. Unless you love chocolates that much.

Yeah, I'll pass. Is what I would say after 10 empties.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse makes Thanksgiving easier with their turkey, fixings, and sides. Just be ready with your huge appetite.

And after watching Wicked, get yourself a venti cup of Elphaba’s Cold Brew from Starbucks.

Cold brew coffee with nondairy matcha cold foam and peppermint. That might seem odd, but they work!

If for some reason you haven't seen a movie yet this year, I highly recommend Wicked. It's a visual spectacle that stays true to the source material.

Last year the film to watch was Oppenheimer, and this year it's Wicked. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes home multiple Oscars.

I don’t like waiting, but for this? I’d gladly make an exception. I want to save all the shit I’ve been talking about, just in case I ever decide to nuke this. That includes the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Now with hacking but lacks screw-down crowns and limited to 100 meters of water resistance, so not really a dive watch. I like the updated dial that includes day & date complications and retains some lume, even with black indices. The NATO strap that comes with it is just meh, but not bad for $340.
