Get Your Christmas Spirit On, Dining at Cosy’s Café and Roasterie

Besides food, I also like to take photographs of sights and scenes.  (Again, these photographs help my memory *hihi  I’ve had so many senior moments =)))  One of the sights I never forget to take pictures of is the houses with overflowing Christmas spirit.  There are mainly two houses well known for this, the one in Naguilan Road and one in Brookside.  You can say that I’m the Christmas house stalker.  (“,)  As you might have guessed, these houses become picture worthy around the holidays.  Good thing then, this is the Philippines, the Christmas season starts as early as October.  \m/

Student Fare: Marosan’s Restaurant, ‘Greenhouse’, Reg’s Binalot and Macsbox

When you need to eat and you need food fast, delicious and easy on the (student) budget, you have four main choices. There’s Marosan’s/RJ/Lenroc, the ‘Greenhouse’, Reg’s Binalot and Macsbox.

Marosan’s Restaurant

Marosan’s a.k.a. Lenroc a.k.a. RJ has been in business for the longest time. When I was in college that’s where my friends and I used to go. (No pictures of course, I wasn’t a foodie yet and also, compact and affordably priced digicams were nonexistent then.) You can go to the Marosan’s establishment a little ways from the SLU main gate or you can go to the one along Bonifacio Street which is closer from the Otto Hahn gate.

“Dumplings are better than flowers.”

There comes a time in everyone’s life when the craving for dumplings is so strong.  So strong, in fact that the siomai sold by vendors in pushcarts near schools and also some Baguio neighborhoods is not going to be enough.  (Affordable as they are, they’re tiny.  There’s much …or rather, little to be said about your choices for dumplings, too.  *ngahaha.  Oh, not unless, you’re happy with tokneneng like the delicious ones from the store in front of UB.  Ohhh, wow, major craving.)
