Some of you will know that I have just recently returned from an amazing trip in the Philippines and Singapore. During my time there, I spent quality time with family (especially my cousins, who I had not seen for 12 years so many of them had grown up a lot since the last time I saw them!), shopping and of course, enjoying the wonderful cuisine and looking through food markets.
It was a trip I really needed to get "refreshed" and spend time away from everyday life and stresses in the UK. I had the most amazing time and it was a great opportunity to rediscover the Filipino in me - to live the life, see the family, try crossing the roads without being killed (a difficult one!), taking full advantage of the shopping, and EAT the food. And boy, did I eat!!
In this post, I would like to share with you some foodie photos which I took during my trip in the Philippines. Unfortunately, I didn't capture much from Singapore, but that was because we ate Filipino food (JOLLIBEE!) anyway :)
