Hamilo Coast 2011

How time flies! It's was time again for our annual trip to Hamilo Coast. We started going in 2008 when it was so new that we had to use tents and there weren't any amenities yet. In 2009 the beach club was built and I started blogging. Last year I was amazed how much the whole resort has grown.

Lunch at Old Vine Grille, Eastwood Mall

I love getting together with my college buddies. I just wish we could see each other more often than just when we treat each other for our birthdays.

Dinner at Kao-Chi Restaurant

Ok enough of the diet food. I still eat out but much less and I bring my pocket scale with me. My cousin Benjie and his daughter Li-An were home for a vacation and Rochelle and I wanted to treat them to dinner.

Cohen Lifestyle Meals - Beef & Chicken

Next to portion control the most important thing on the Cohen Lifestyle diet is eating protein with vegetables for all meals.

Cohen Lifestyle Seafood & Vegetarian Meals

My cousins and friends will surely gasp on the title alone. They know I seldom order seafood or veggies when we eat out. My favorite food to order pre-diet was pasta. I was your typical carb lover.

Cohen Lifestyle Breakfast Meals

As many of my regular readers know by now, I'm a food blogger on a diet. Specifically the Cohen Lifestyle diet.

Dinner at Apartment 1B Gourmet Comfort Food

Our friend Tisay treated us for her birthday at Apartment 1B in Makati.

Rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong

After lunch at Tosca we took a tour of the hotel rooms of The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.

Lunch at Tosca, Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong

If you've been following this blog then you will know that I was in Hong Kong last April and I was on a diet. I wasn't planning on eating out at all but when our friends invited us to try out an Italian restaurant in the newest and tallest hotel in the world how can I resist.

The only other time I ate out was Easter Sunday lunch at my favorite restaurant Grissini. Well it was a special occasion right?

Cirque Du Soleil's Zaia at The Venetian Macao

When Cirque Du Soleil's traveling show, Verakai, came to Manila last July I didn't watch it because I just saw Zaia at The Venetian Hotel Macao last April.

The Venetian Macao - Verona Suite

Last April during our Holy Week hiatus to Hong Kong, we made an overnight trip to Macao and stayed in our favorite hotel, The Venetian Macao.
