Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps

I decided to try an Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps that has wine as a part of their ingredient from  Savoursmiths . I am not a wine person and there was an after taste when I ate it. I wanted to have an opinion from someone else. I had offered to Manang V, Ike and Rodelo to try in order to see their reaction on what they thought what the Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps taste like to them. Manang V liked the taste not too salty and not sweet just right for her. Ike and Rodelo had the same feeling being a person who is not into wine it was hard to describe the taste that stuck in your tongue. If you would like to learn more about Savoursmiths click the pink highlighted under their name and it will direct you to their website. Note: I am not selling Savoursmiths Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps just wanted to see how it had tasted.    

Are you the Good Burger or the Baaad Burger from Shakey's New Item?

The new burger is new in Shakey's Philippines by deciding whether you are a Good Burger or Baaad Baaad Burger person all depends on what food you crave. I can be a Good Burger or Baaad Burger. Of course I would prefer a Good Burger since I have always wanted to eat something healthy and that is plant based. There are two types of Baaad Burger from your choice without or with bacon with a price difference. The outcome the Baaad Baaad Burger is not great they can do better it is too tough just for example when you cook steak too long it is hard to chew. I don't recommend eating this Baaad Baaad Burger for the price of PHP 347.00 ($6.94) The Good Burger is moist and juicy with all the flavoring taste like a plant based burger. I can highly recommend trying it for you. The price for the Good Burger is PHP 218.00 The skinny fries are not included there is an additional charge of PHP 41.00 ($0.82). Note: I am not advertising/selling the Good Burger and the Baaad Burger from Shakey...
