A ’90s kid would surely understand how it feels when an establishment we enjoyed back then comes back to serve again. The iconic cafe loved all over the world – Hard Rock Cafe Manila comes back and ready to rock and roll!

Opening at the start of 2019, The Bistro Group partnered with Hard Rock International to bring back this iconic theme restaurant on its new home located at Conrad S Maison in Pasay City.

I got fun memories with this brand most specially back then when I was still working as a producer for a music show. I used to cover big events and interview famous celebrities and artists at the former Hard Rock Cafe, and that actually gives me the opportunity to meet up people in the music industry that eventually became friends through out the years.

One of the things that I regret when I visited Taipei, Taiwan was to not take the opportunity to taste the different milk tea brands available in the city. Being known as to were the said drink originated, my expectation on how Taiwan’s Milk Tea taste is a bit high. Though I can say that I did able to taste a few but I guess I weren’t really able to have those that people says the best.

Luckily, someone have made it more reachable to Filipinos. Entrepreneur Samantha Yap of Making Fine Beverages Corp. was then first intrigue with the long lines the brand Tiger Sugar made in Hong Kong. And knowing how Filipinos reciprocate to anything milk tea, she realizes that that long line would likely happen as well in Manila.

Baguio City is one the easiest destination places that can be visited if you wanted to escape the hot weather of Manila. Tagaytay City could be the other one, but exploring Baguio is way friendlier than Tagaytay specially for commuters. You just need to take a bus from any of the different terminals located in Caloocan, Cubao or Pasay City. Travel for about 5-6 hours and your are off to a cooler place.

Exploring around Baguio City is also effortless. Options you can take includes Jeepney’s that goes around the city. Grab is also available. Taking Taxi is way too friendlier than the ones here in Manila, that they would even give you an exchange to the very last cent. That adding to the many reasons why I love visiting Baguio.

I have been to the City of Pines for more than a handful and never gets tired of going back. Recently I have discovered a better way to commute to the city or should I say the best and the most comfortable commute I had.
