Wanderlust: Commune Makati

Unlike most of the overrated cafes out there which are pretty much crowded and noisy, Commune in Makati has this relaxing vibe in the heart of the metro. The artworks are eye-catching-- the wonderful chalk art and the informative sketches are all set to grab your attention and tickle your imagination. The little cafe also makes coming together an even more special and intimate session, be it with friends or family.

Aside from their signature cafes (which I heard, are served with painstaking coffee art upon request), customers look forward to taste their mouth-watering Pinoy best sellers like adobo and sinigang. Their cup of rice is even wrapped in a banana leaf.

I had gone unplanned to Commune on a Thursday. I had to meet a friend in Eastwood that day. And she and her team were all set to their weekly coverage of SPIT at the resto. Perfect timing! I had to tag myself along, may be much to their dismay. I've been planning to visit the cafe to watch SPIT perform on Thursdays, but never really had the time and the right company to do so. Seeing this as a thrilling spontaneous visit, I was all aboard!

Of course, SPIT never fails to deliver. I love the BRACES BEAUTY PAGEANT sketch, where there's literally ONE board of judges and where the contestants were all game to answer the make-or-break question that went something like: "Paano mo tatanggalin ang tinga sa bibig mo?"

With just 250pesos entrance fee (with a complimentary drink), expect a mouthful of laughs at Commune on Thursdays with SPIT performing. Be careful, baka lang may tinga ka. Enjoy!

Food Trip!: To-go Pad Thai

I had this amazing time doing a TV feature on this equally amazing resto in the Morato area, called Thai-Pan. It's basically an ancestral home turned into a resto. They have this clean, minimalist interior with an al fresco dining area, too. I love the food, the accommodating crew and of course, the over-all ambiance. I fell in love with their version of Pad Thai, which looks like it was done very meticulously, you'd be shy to devour it all you want. You just want to stare and preserve it rather than consume it.

Since great Thai restos in the Manila are rare, I was wondering if there's a place where they offer easy-to-prepare version of Thai dishes--- with less the fuss for people on the go. Then a few months ago, I happened to be in Glorietta and I saw this stall in the G4 food court. And there it was! Sen Lek Thai! Theirs was unequal to the amazing Pad Thai of Thai Pan, but I marvel at the idea of to-go Thai dishes! Btw, the Pad thai there was only 100.00.
