It's a beautiful, sunny Saturday. Jomar and I walked to Robson Square from our apartment to join the fun at the Proudly Philippines 2023 Food and Travel Fair.


Proudly Philippines Food and Travel Fair 2023 in Robson Square

On our walk there, we crossed on the west side of Granville Bridge and was rewarded with the following view. Thank God for magnificent Vancouver. The sights still leave me at awe. Days like this, I still feel like a tourist here.

We arrived at Robson Square and walked around to see available food options. I got Mochanut Mamon from KayeBakes.ca (my favourite) and was way too giddy when I spotted Iskrambol. It tastes like nostalgia too.

Afterwards, we cooled down at the Vancouver Public Library where I borrowed a bunch of books. I recently started reading again and it feels nice. I miss my best friend, Deci. I need someone to talk with if my analysis of the plot and characters make sense. 🤣

I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their ...

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's...
