Hey Kawadjan! This is the guy I want you to identify.

No, not Piolo.

I know this is Piolo Pascual.

But da who ito?

He looks like Piolo to me.

What do you think?

May similarity no?

The hotel and the new dish...

I was walking from pub street one night and I decided to take a picture of Hotel de la Paix. It's very imposing and grand. I was going back to the hotel because Chef Caz has this waiting for me:

A yummy new salmon dish, i taste basic French sauce base, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, all-spice, saffron, curry, with some snow peas, chili, coriander salad on top.

Delish! It really pays to be friends with the chef coz you get to be the head guinea pig (yes, i know! i know, you don't have to point it out!) for new dishes.

You know me, anything Japanese is a cause for some degree of celebration or at least fascination. But Japanese food is a constant obsession. I've got my gut to prove it.

So it's with excitement that I tried the saba set of Takezuno, Siem Reap's hidden gem. It comes with sashimi (salmon, the best I've tasted so far, melt-in-your-mouth quality), some egg custard thingy (forgot the name), miso, salad, etc. It's wonderful! The saba was delicately flavored and have that smoky quality from the grilling. Needless to say I was bursting and happy from the meal.

Andy Warhol 'Campbell Soup' shirt

Been busy lately, lots of things going on. Anyways highways, let me tell you about one of my fave shirt lately.

Got this shirt from a Japanese thriftshop in Phnom Penh. I got 2 actually and I gave one to Loven. It's the same shop where Fate got me an Issey Miyake shirt, too. Need to go there again and check out what other wonderful new stuff they have.

Strike the pose!

Yes, I know I'm fat!!! And I'm working on it. Been going to the gym religiously. I just had to hear it when I was in Manila when friends would tell me I'm so fat instead of saying hello first or something. Kainis but I needed it. The worsest is when Tina Daniac said, 'Omg! Hindi ka na androgynous!'

I'm sorry Ann Demeulemeester I've failed you.

Strike the pose in motorcycle pants

I discovered this motorcycle pants in the thrift store down Pub Street area one lazy Saturday. Alas, that thrift store was no more the last time I checked. Either they transferred or really closed down, I don't know. What attracted me to it is the idea of protection, by way of pads on the hips, knees and leg area. The short length of the pants leg boggled me though and thought that since it's usually paired with padded, high cut boots it will cumbersome to have lots of extra fabric in there. I liked the sportiness of it not associated with basketball or some common sports.

BACKSTAGE look book

Backstage is the store in Manila where I sell my clothes. The owner, Stanley, was very kind to include me in the previous and current look book. They chose 2 of my pieces with metal tab embellishment. Do try to visit the store if you are in Serendra.
