Welcome to “FTW! Food, Travel, and Whatevs”—your go-to for food reviews, travel tales, and a sprinkle of whatever catches my fancy. From fool-proof recipes to tales of my travels around the Philippines, this blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my passions and quirks.

Tried the UCC Roast Master lineup this week ☕

🏆 Sumiyaki = easy favorite.

Also… if I don’t have chocolate ganache, I just grate chocolate into the cup and let the espresso melt it. Simple home café hack. 🤎

“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.”
