Briefly Back in Manila

Back home in Manila between trips. That means a little eating out and a little home cooking. It also means enjoying the sights and tastes of home.

One of my favorite things about Manila is the sunsets. It's a different scene every night.

On one weekend, my best friend came in town from Hong Kong for some feel good Filipino food. And, of course, that includes the desserts! Here are a few pictures of some of the desserts we enjoyed. We visited Chef's Table for the Buko Pie Martini (where you have to order one person - it's that good). And we also enjoyed my mom's desserts at home. From one batch of plantain bananas, we enjoyed 2 different desserts. So yum.

Place your cursor above "Notes" to read a little more about the food photos.
