After visiting the doctor to have my husband’s aching left knee checked, we passed by Gaisano Mall for a late lunch. We settled with the restaurants on the ground floor to save my husband from further walking. Kenny Rogers Roasters serves tasty roasted chicken, so we decided to eat there. ...

I have traveled far and wide in search for the best maiz con hielo… naah, just kidding. I’m just one of the many who wish that stores offering maiz con hielo are as many as those offering its more popular cousin in the dessert family, the halo-halo. I love maiz ...
