I started this blog with the intent to write about my travels and share whatever travel article I come across in the web. It’s mostly for personal reference, sort of like an online library for me, in case I would need the information later on. It’s also a place to catalog my experiences.

After this culinary tour, I’m now eager to learn and explore Pampanga more. And discover more food.

Want to see what we ate? Head on to Anton’s Awesome blog for the pictures!

P.s. Thanks so much for this tour, Anton and Spanx!
