Lucky Chick, UP Town Center

Who loves fried chicken? We all do! Right? And so a brand new restaurant in UP Town Center will serve you our all-time classic comfort food. Lucky Chick, a Southern restaurant is another venture of the people behind Nolita, The Bowery, Borough, and L.E.S Bagels. They wanted to take away our idea of fried chicken as a common or ordinary dish by making the usual into extraordinary.

Awesome Escape at Cabongaoan Beach, Burgos Pangasinan

This is one of my adventure trips that I will never forget because of the wonderful place, the people I bonded with, and one unique event that I don't experience on the usual trips I’ve joined in.  “Unique event” – This adventure trip by Dong Ho Eskapo gave us an exciting challenge by not revealing our destination. All we knew is the itinerary, the things to bring, and it would be a beach place. But we really don’t know the exact place where going to, it may be on the Southern or Northern part of the Philippines, we don’t have any idea. Well, as an adventurer this would be a unique experience that’s why without a doubt I absolutely said Yes!

Strawberry Picking in La Trinidad Strawberry Farm, Benguet

The town of La Trinidad in the province of Benguet is well known for its strawberry and vegetable plantations which entitled them as the ‘Strawberry Capital of the Philippines’. With its land area of almost 8,200 hectares and valley’s floor elevation at 1300 meters above sea level that makes the cool temperature of the place, they were able to establish a farm land for growing strawberries.

After we visited Mt. Jambo/Mt. Yangbaw – mountain peak in La Trinidad where you can witness sea of clouds and stunning 360 views. Visit blog post (Click here-> Mt. Jambo), we also thought of going to the strawberry farm and experience strawberry picking. Since we were already in town and it’s just few kilometres away from where we were, of course we grabbed our chance on visiting one of the major tourist spots in Benguet .
