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...

Are you a Southern Classic, Queens, Nashville or New Orleans?


Are you a Southern Classic, Queens, Nashville, or New Orleans fan?

I've never had the chance to visit these places, but hopefully someday I will. The best part is discovering food that practically jumps out at you. I sometimes feel like there's someone out there subtly guiding me to share what these flavors are like.

The most amazing thing is having someone sponsor you to explore and enjoy different dishes.

My family also gets to experience new flavors right at home.

I recently ordered from Howl Chicken through Grab for delivery to our house:

Southern Classic Sandwich PHP 189.00 ($3.78)

Outcome:  

A hint of spice that’s subtle enough to go unnoticed, pairs perfectly with barbecue sauce. Even if you’re not into spicy food, no one will ever know.  

Queens Waffle PHP 199.00 ($3.98)  



Outcome:

I requested for the condiments to be set aside to prevent my waffle from getting soggy during delivery.

The chicken is tender, juicy, crispy, and slightly spicy, packed with flavor that pairs perfectly with the included barbecue sauce and ranch dressing.

The waffle is unique and very delicious—thick with a buttery taste that changes when dipped into the included honey.

The mushroom is soft and flavorful, making it a dish I’d happily order again based on my experience.

Nashville Sandwich PHP 189.00 ($3.78)

Outcome:  
The Nashville Sandwich has a spicy kick with some jalapeños—highly recommended for you to try!  

Iced Latte: PHP 79.00 ($1.58)  

I wanted to try their iced latte; it’s a bit strong, but lattes are meant to keep you wide awake. 

Too bad no one was in the mood for New Orleans-style spice—maybe someday we’ll have the courage to give it a shot.
