Levante Food Market @ Eastwood City Walk - Part 1

Food tripping is always on our itinerary these days so we couldn't miss the launch of Levante, the food market at Eastwood City Walk, Libis, Quezon City last Friday.

L-R: Boxes and Dig Deep Cups from Twisted Desserts

Since it's my first event to attend as an official blogger, me and my friend came early to check out the activities. I guess we were too early because there were only a few people milling around the food stalls and not many vendors had started cooking away yet. The upside to all this was, we had more time to take pictures so snap away we did!

My Little Korean Treat

With anime, we glimpsed the culture of Japan and all the cute and functional stuff that await one in Daizo and Saizen and Japan Home. Now that K-pop has landed on our shores, bb creams and several Korean cosmetic brands are also now in our malls and of course, just like Japan before, Korean food has also acquired an audience here.

I remember a couple of times when I was surprised to find a huge crowd in the Trinoma activity center with a lot of girls holding placards in Korean. Turns out they were fans of boy bands who visited the country to perform for them. The fans were really enthusiastic and appreciative of their idols.

Sweet Treats with Friends

Just went through my archive of pictures and I found that I have had a lot of opportunities to indulge in sweets during foodie time with friends. I'm not such a sucker for sweets.

I've never really had a sweet tooth but I do recall finishing off a whole tablespoon of white sugar as dessert when I was a child.

Bonding Over Cake

It's the new year and when I look at this blog, I had only 21 posts last year. That's a sad statistic for someone who wants to call herself a writer. Well, I am called that at my work but I don't get paid to write blog posts there, so you get what I mean. That's why one of the things I want to work on this new year is to be able to write on this blog on a regular basis.

I'm going to have to do this with baby steps. As a start, I should be able to manage 2 blog posts in a week.  Yup, very conservative of me but I'm just being realistic. So here goes, my first post for this year. It's from my reunion over dinner with a friend whom I had not seen for quite some time. We bonded over life stories, particularly work, and of course food.
