Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
I'll tell you a secret: I actually love to eat those delectable Vietnamese soups from Pho Hoa with restaurants located at SM.
Since it's raining, I opted to go there there again and order my usual:
Seafood soup: it's not oily and made of rice noodles, AFAIK add bean sprouts, lemongrass, lemon... plus lots and lots of red hot chili peppers. Worry about runny nose later ;-) stuffed chicken wings (3 pieces) Mango Crepe: delicioso!
wash them all down with a tall glass of ice-cold lemon juice!
I really love east-Asian cuisine particularly spicy food (ironically, most Filipinos are averse to spicy food except those from the Bicol peninsula) and cosmopolitan Manila has lots of options to choose from!
