After a full dinner at the Copper Chimney, my colleague and I decided to take a photo walk down little India to capture its festivity during Deepavali preparations. The streets were all lighted up, and while the night lighting threw a damper on some really nice places, we still managed to get […]

A girlfriend of mine introduced me to an interesting Filipino restaurant today at City Hall. Apart from a couple of dinners over at her place (she’s a fun loving Filipino gal who loves cooking), I have never really tried authentic Filipino food anywhere else. I wasn’t in the mood for a Filipino […]
