When your office is anywhere with internet

For someone whose work is highly dependent on the internet, but is not dependent on a physical office, it can get boring to see the same four walls of your room all day (or night). So here I am looking for other places where I can pull out the laptop and connect to the wifi, and work in a new place.

First spot found was in Robinsons Las Pinas. Borgo Cafe. The staff's service is excellent. The food is good, the coffee strong. Internet is not as fast as I hoped though. But if you do not use Dropbox, Google Drive or the likes, the speed is alright.

Another spot located is much closer to home and a lot more comfy. It might just be my new favorite. Located on Gloria Diaz Street, BFRV, Las Pinas is a small corner shop next to a more familiar Vape shop. Lounge Games & Cafe is a cafe with a mouth watering menu, liquor, milkshakes, coffee, sandwiches, rice meals and games. Yes, games. They have PS4 games and good ol' board games. The owners are very accommodating and genuinely nice. The internet is fast, although may cut out every now and then, it's not so bad. I think lunch or dinner will be here a little more often. Like them on Facebook: Lounge Cafe or follow on Instagram: @loungecafebrfv, or better yet, visit them. :)

Will be hunting for more spots. Watch out for the next blog. :) Til then, sleep well. <3

Piggly Wiggly

Right beside our favorite inuman is a newly opened fast food with big, juicy sausages! With a bright, and homey setup, 4 different Piggly Wiggly sausages are served with java rice, as a sandwich or on a stick. You can choose between the regular sized or jumbo.You can also add on pickles or cheese among others, if you want to. I went for the jumbo hungarian, something I missed having, as a sandwich. It was good, although not the spicy kind like I have had before. They served the sandwich in plastic baskets and the rice meals on cute plastic plates with robots printed on it, something kids would like. Their pitchers and glasses where very home-style too. They also sell the sausages frozen for those who want to have them at home.

The staff was friendly and attentive. The place is small and given what they have to offer, it can easily fill up. On one of the walls is a glass board where their menu is written on, along with pictures of other customers who have come to visit. There is also a bell that you can ring to let the kitchen know that you liked their cooking. I find that very considerate of the morale of the kitchen staff, Doing a stint in the F&B industry before has shown me that kitchen is not an easy task and, at most times, goes unappreciated. So kudos to the owners for valuing their staff. Although, I forgot to ring the bell as we left (Oops! I also almost forgot my vape!), next time I will definitely give it a tap.

Price-wise, it's relatively cheap for sausages. Definitely something I would spend on again. So if ever you are hungry and near the corner of Abel Nosce and BF Resort Drive, BFRV, Las Pinas, I would recommend taking a bite at Piggly Wiggly. An easy 4/5 busog rating from me! :)

Much love!

Lakad Tsibog ni Roobs at Mike: Kenchan Ramen!

A few nights ago, I joined my brother who was in the mood to ride around the village on his motorcycle. I realized then just how many places there were to eat in our village, BFRV Las Piñas! Then I find out my brother apparently had eaten in almost all. So I suggested that he take to his top 5 places to go. He suggested something even better. "Ate, let's try the new ramen place tonight, kunin lang natin pera ko sa bahay." My brother is treating me to ramen, how can I say no? Hehe.

We agreed that he would take me to 2 other places on Monday night (watch out for that blog!), but tonight was the ramen he has been dying to try at Kenchan Ramen. It's a new place, just 3 months old, along a main road of the village, Gloria Diaz Street. Their sign can be seen right away and looks very inviting.

We parked and then realized just how small it was. It didn't look that small when you drive by. They only had 3 tables, one of which was long and could accommodate about 5, and 2 square tables that would be tight for 2 the way it was set up. When we got there only one of the smaller tables was free.

The waiter was very, very nice. He talked about the differences of what was on the menu and knew his menu well. The service was awesome! That alone places a big star in my book for Kenchan Ramen. We decided to get the Tonkotsu Ramen and an order of one of their meals that had Tori Karaage, Tonkotsu Ramen, Coffee Jelly dessert and iced tea. I am honestly not very familiar with Japanese food, and have only tried ramen once so I may not be a good judge on the authenticity of the menu, but it was gooood!

The Tori Karaage, a Japanese style deep-fried boneless chicken, was served with a mayo-based dip and cabbage on the side. The chicken strips were tender and very tasty. The serving size is good for 1. The Tonkotsu Ramen on the other hand was a big serving! My brother and I couldn't even finish our bowls. It had pork strips, egg and mushrooms in a cream-based soup. Not spicy, so if you want spice, you can add chili powder that is readily available. Their other best-seller, Shyoyu Ramen, is the soy-based soup that was spicy. The level of spice though could be adjusted by request. Next time, we will try that. We were so full we had to take home the dessert. The Coffee Jelly is very small and a little bland, but after all the strong flavor I appreciated it's blandness.

Price-wise, it was worth the money, A little pricey for an everyday meal (P200+ for the ramen and P300+ for the meal). They deliver with a minimum order of P600.

Apparently, the Japanese owner, Kenchan, was only testing the market, hence the small place. He didn't expect to have so many customers in a day, many of which did suggest that they find a bigger place. Because of that, in April they intend to open a restaurant along the main road of Las Pinas, near Casimiro. It will be open 24 hours and will have more food selections. That was music to my ears, ramen at 3AM would be awesome!

A big thumbs up to Kenchan Ramen! That's a 4/5 busog rating from me. :)

Much love!
