Why I ♥ SOM's Noodle House

I love Thai food except the spicy stuff although Thai cuisine is everything about spicy! I found SOM's Noodle House, serves super affordable Authentic Thai cuisine from my friend La-La (thank you). Ever since I ate my first meal in Som's, I try every month to dine there with or without friends...yeah I eat alone!





So here are my favorites from SOM's!

Red Tom Yam Soup -- Super spicy...!

Thai Tea... but i still ♥ Crustasia's version

Bagoong Rice

Pad Thai

Of Course! Chicken Pandan

Red Curry Fried Rice
Sticky rice with Mango

De-stressed: Boracay 2010

Shot by Samurai Master JC


I had the best long weekends, second to my Hong Kong trip last June of 2010. I took a long four days and three nights vacation in Boracay, Philippines. I've been to Boracay, Aklan gazillion times (Aklan is my mother's hometown), but with stress from work, I need a long trip... away from work related stuff. I planned the trip with my super friends, although one friend who is supposed to joined us backed out (work related). I booked our tickets when Cebu Pacific (#1 budget airline in the Philippines...KUNO!) they had a super uber cheap promo, for three persons... it cost us a round trip airplane ticket of Php 150 + Php 100 (check-in baggage) each. We stayed in Taj Guesthouse, for three nights, it cost us Php. 2,000 per night but I told to my friends that our stay cost Php 1,000, the last night was my treat for them...SURPRISE!!.

Two of my friends and I took the Cebu Pacific flight to Caticlan. If you have gadget which can access WIFI (wireless internet), you'll never get bored in Caticlan Jetty Port because the whole port has free WIFI access. If you're in a tight budget, affordable place to eat in Boracay are scattered in the island: Andoks, Mang Inasal, and Hawaiian BBQ. If you have lots of money to splurge on food, a few good restaurants can be found: Cyma (Greek cuisine), Aria (Itallian cuisine), Dos Mestizos (Filipino/Spanish cuisine), MaƱana (Mexican cuisine), and Hama (Japanese cuisine). If you want affordable place to stay, there are so many resorts and hotels scattered in the island, but I suggest Taj Guesthouse...why? Near D'mall! But if you have $$$ then stay in Boracay Regency, Discovery Shores, Two Seasons, and Shangri-la... even Manny Pacquiao have resort there.
