Wondering how to give your favorite luxury bag a second life? These restoration spots in the Philippines might just be your best-kept secret.

If you're looking to restore your designer bags to their former glory in the Philippines, especially around Metro Manila, Mom Violy can recommend E Restore Leatherworks for affordable price. Mom Violy went to visit E Restore on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, with Carmina. Getting a Louis Vuitton bag repaired—especially the shoulder strap—can be tricky and pricey, so finding a reliable place like E Restore Leatherwork in Greenhill's is a win. They’re known for handling luxury items with care, and it’s great to hear Mom Violy had a positive experience. One-week turnaround for a luxury bag repair—especially with color-matching the shoulder strap—is quite efficient. And ₱4,000 for restoring a Louis Vuitton piece sounds like a fair deal, considering how meticulous that kind of work can be. Mom Violy said she can bring all her Louis Vuitton and still be original.

Open Face Fita Sandwich Recipes

Carmina decided to make her own meal for a change but in order to do it she needed to purchase her ingredients. Lately she has been craving for pastrami cold cuts to make a sandwich and for places she tried hasn't suited the taste. Carmina found that S&R had new items available in stock. I had ordered S&R Beef Pastrami for PHP 213.45 ($4.45) sold per kilo grams.  The price says PHP 779.00 ($16.65) per kilo kind of miss leading and came out to be less than what you expected from the price given online. To me I am grateful it wasn't as expensive to what I had expected it to be. Rather than purchasing bread came up ordering S&R Greek Fita & Flat Bread Whole Wheat for PHP 129.00 ($2.69). Someone who is on a diet came across a gold mind in eating something new for awhile. It is easy to make a fita bread sandwich at home.

Hawaiian Chicken Java Rice Bowl from Reyes Barbecue

Carmina use to eat Reyes Barbecue with visitors who use to come over from the United States during the month of January to March. I had an Uncle who loved to eat their boneless barbecue chicken and java rice through the years he has passed away for medical reasons. He was like another father to me. Today I decided to eat boneless chicken from Reyes Barbecue and came up ordering a whole boneless Chicken Ala Carte PHP 870.00 ($18.12). To top it up Carmina found a Hawaiian Chicken Java Rice Bowl from Reyes Barbecue for PHP 155.00 ($3.23) not including handling fee and tip to the rider. The best part is that Carmina had added her Sweet Baby Ray's Hawaiian Style Barbecue Sauce to her meal to taste the Hawaiian flavoring.
