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. Mom Violy also purchased some cream to take care of her bags purchasing at  E Restore Leatherworks . Price may varies depe...

Potato Gnocchi, Potato Dauphinoise and Iberico Pancetta Carbonara from Prologue

Carmina had treated herself a bigger meal for her dinner. Rather than ordering from other Italian restaurants we've tried from we went ahead to try new dishes cooked from Prologue. I decided to try something new went ahead and tried Potato Gnocchi ingredients Spinach, Feta Cheese, Dried Cherry Tomato, Garlic, Chili and Parmesan.  Potato Gnocchi was an interesting dish. I liked how everything tasted well together for PHP 230.00 ($4.79). For more potato I went and order a frozen meal that was available was the Potato Dauphinoise serving is 300 grams that needs to be warmed at home for PHP 198.00 ($4.13). Too bad there was no instructions on how long you needed to have it baked. I just played by ear using my toaster oven and transferred to an microwaveable container to heat in the microwaves. I don't have a oven to heat it into. Family member had ordered Iberico Pancetta Carbonara for PHP 325.00 ($6.77). The family member had enjoyed sunny side up egg with their Iberico Pancetta C...

Potato Bacon Danish, Chicken Pot Pie, Cinnamon Pandesalitos and Croissant Loaf from Wildflour Cafe + Bakery

Carmina saw something new and wanted to try for herself. Due being a fan of eating baked potato saw something different a Potato Bacon Danish at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery. Carmina also saw they also had Cinnamon Pandesalitos which are pandesal bread that are the mini version with cinnamon on it. Still shopping for more food at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery she went ahead and ordered Chicken Pot Pie but didn't quite like it too well. It had more vegetables inside than the real chicken pot pie you often get to eat. Otherwise the other breads I had made my own purchase turned out well enough to try it some other time. Those who love to eat croissant will surely love the loaf version to last longer in your home for PHP 276.00 ($5.75). Cinnamon Pandesalitos Pack PHP 161.00 ($3.35) Best to toast your Cinnamon Pandesalitos to actual taste the cinnamon in it. Potato Bacon Danish PHP 186.00 ($3.88) For the price it is worth it being filled up with potato and bacon being big for the size. Chick...

Po' Boy Shrimp Sandwich and Watermelon Shake from Central Park Diner

  After Carmina went home from her adventure with Mom Violy she felt dizzy from the drive coming back. During our adventure outside we ate late around two o'clock in the afternoon not having any meals from the whole day. Carmina decided to order her dinner at Central Park Diner located in Madison 101 Hotel and Tower, Philippines. What caught her eye was the watermelon shake for PHP 120.00 and Po' Boy Shrimp Sandwich for PHP 291.00 ($6.06) not including handling fee with tip to the Grab rider. Carmina had enjoyed both of her food and slowly her dizziness went away.
