Trips, eats and travels of a family of 5
Since moving to London, I’ve been having trouble finding good Mexican food. Manila has been obsessed with Mexican fare for several years and I’ve been missing authentic tacos and quesadillas from El Chupacabra and Taco Vengo. You can imagine my excitement when I heard about a couple of good Mexican places opening up in London [...]
Filipino food has been making waves around the world the past few years.

Because the sun was out and warm weather was promised, we decided to visit Cambridge over the long bank holiday weekend.

Aside from being gorgeous (Palawan wasn’t voted Best Island in the World by Conde Nast Traveller for nothing), we had so much fun doing different activities together and relaxing [...]
