Let's Go To The Japan Countryside To See How Green Tea Is Made

March 29, 2019
Went to the countryside of Japan to see how Japanese green tea is made.

Japanese Green Tea is know all over the world. In Japan, green tea was served in restaurants almost like “tap water”.

Our curiosity lead us to going to one of the sources of the green tea in Japan.

There are many ways green tea is made. Although this was not my most favorite tea ever tasted, the process of making green tea was very educational.

Knowing In My First Travel To Japan That Japanese Food Is Just A Different Level (Must Try Food)

March 20, 2019
How eating Japanese food in Japan was the thing I didn't know I need
Awesome Japan was just exciting to explore. Food is no exemption. High quality, exciting, full of flavor, fun or unforgettable, there is something for what my palate would crave.

Here are my favorite food from the moment I tried them the first time in Japan.

711 Japan Gyudon leaves you craving for more. Affordable and fit for a backpacker's budget across Japan. I must admit. I went back to get more after trying my first.

Authentic Osaka Takoyaki was one thing a friend, Sue, recommended and, oh boy, was it very very very good! I miss it because I only had one chance to eat this dish in Japan.

Japan Kitkats are the most exciting flavored chocolate wafers I have ever tried. Bakeable Custard Pudding, Strawberry Cheesecake Kitkat (the best), Japanese Green Tea Matcha (of course), Orange Chocolate Kitkat, and more.

I saved my first experience to do conveyor belt sushi in Japan. I, honestly, did not know how to eat at a conveyor belt sushi bar. I will not tell you either in case you want to experience it first hand.

Asahi Zero Alcohol Beer was a funny thing my dad picked up at a Lawson convenience store in Osaka. It was very interesting.

Onigiri. Buy. Eat. Repeat. Even brought one each as our snack in Universal Studios Japan where we waited in line to get in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Kracie Popin Cookin are crazy fun edible DIY toys. I went nuts playing with these. Too embarrassed to film myself doing these though. Haha!

We went around Japan and visited some of the bigger cities. We went around using buses and trains (namely the JR Train, Tokyo Metro, JR West, JR Central, JR East Shinkansen Bullet Trains) to get to one point after another.

Best Homemade Pasta And Meatballs Recipe (I Have Ever Made)

December 04, 2018

Went to pick up groceries one day. Figured, we wanted to eat pasta after a long day. Pasta, especially spaghetti for Filipinos, is somewhat a treat. We eat it most occasionally at birthday celebrations. It was perfect since it was my aunt's birthday too.

(This is not a sponsored post.)

Egan and I decided to make it a little more special this time though. We made meatballs and used penne instead of spaghetti. It turned out great and just full of love. Yup! You can taste the love in the food. Try this...

Homemade Pasta and Meatball recipe

INGREDIENTS:

100 g lean ground beef
50 g ground pork
1 small garlic clove, grated
1/2 medium red onion, minced
2 Tablespoons bread crumbs (Good Life brand)
salt
pepper
1/2 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon seasoned breadcrumbs (Crispy brand)
1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (Kraft brand)
1 Tablespoon canola oil (Marca Leon brand)
--
4 cups boiling water
1 cup uncooked pasta ( La Filipina brand penne)
salt
--
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, minced
1 small carrot grated
1 can whole peeled tomatoes (Honey brand)
1/8 cup Italian Spaghetti sauce (RAM brand)
salt
pepper
--
Parmesan cheese

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all first 10 ingredients above. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan on high heat, place in the boiling water with a teaspoon of salt.
3. Wait until it the water is visibly boiling hot before placing in your pasta.
4. Cook until al denté (cooked yet firm).
5. Drain water and place in a bowl where you will serve your pasta.
6. Place back the now-empty saucepan on medium heat and place 1 Tablespoon of oil.
7. Form the golf-ball-sized meatballs out of the meat mixture made earlier.
8. Cook them meatballs while turning them on every side for about 10-15 minutes.
9. Once cooked, place the meatballs on the pasta.
10. In the saucepan, sauté the onions, garlic, and shredded carrot.
11. Season with salt and pepper (about a pinch each).
12. Cover the saucepan for 3 minutes. Bring heat to medium-low.
13. While waiting, roughly chop or crush the peeled tomatoes with clean hands or forks.
14. Take the cover off the saucepan and add the tomatoes with the sauce from the can.
15. Also, add the Spaghetti sauce to add a little sweetness.
16. Submerge the meatballs back into the saucepan with the sauce and cover for 5 minutes.
17. We are done with the cooking! You can place the sauce over the pasta or you can also mix the pasta in the sauce before serving. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese according to your liking.



Enjoy!
Hope you love this dish just like we did.

No-Mayonnaise Sweet Mustard Dip (No-Egg Honey Mustard Dip substitute)

November 26, 2018
We found ourselves needing Honey Mustard Dip once for our Homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu, but we did not have any mayonnaise or honey. This was when I gave birth to this dip recipe.

This was much like an “improv that went great” kind of recipe. It was a sketch that ended up what it was intended to be. Remembering the taste profile of the dip was all I used to guide me. Nonetheless, it tasted great and so I share it here in the blog as well.

MunchTrip's Sweet Mustard Dip recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp mustard (McCormick mustard)
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (BRAGGS brand)
1 tsp white sugar

PROCEDURE:
1. Mix everything in a dipping bowl or saucer.

Done!
Wasn’t that simple? Yet, it had the tang, and sweetness still that we like about the dip. It works for us, how did it work for you?

It was perfect for our Homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe here.

Philippine Beaches: Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao Is A Wild Pacific Mati Beach

May 02, 2018
Swim At Your Own Risk on this Wild Pacific Mati Beach, Philippine Beaches - taken in Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao
This Mati Philippine beach, which faces the Pacific Ocean, will challenge swimmers.

Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao is Pacific Ocean beach surprise gem among many Philippine beaches we have been to.

We were not expecting a beach like this existed. It had shallow reefy areas great for experiencing calmer waters.  We featured that on a blog post here

However, on this MunchTrip.blogspot.com post will be a video of the wild side of Dahican Beach Mati. You will see the deep areas have waves with heights over a meter on the other side of the beach.

Highs and lows.

There is so much on this beach that caters to different types of Thalassophile* (whoa, new and big word for us).

Without further ado, here is one more for the best beaches in the Philippines some of you may have never been to.


HOW TO GET TO DAHICAN BEACH, MATI, DAVAO
I know of only one way to get to Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao.
  • by land:
    • 2+ from Tagum City to Mati
    • 3+ from Davao City to Mati
    • 8+ hours from Cagayan de Oro to Mati via Malaybalay City and Tagum City
    • 10+ hours from Cagayan de Oro to Mati via Valencia and Davao City
Technically, there is Mati Airport (MXI), but as of the time I'm writing this, it only caters to small privately owned planes. Going to Mati by ferry or ship is still not possible, but the closest port is SASA Pier of Davao City. If you discover other ways of getting to Mati, tell do share on the comments section below.

Travel tip: When in Dahican, Mati, Davao

There are motorcabs in neighboring municipalities of Dahican, Mati.  We only saw one or two in the area.

They are not the same as Cagayan de Oro's motorela although closer to Medina's motorsikad.

I did not notice any taxis and jeepneys around Dahican, Mati.  However, we have been told that habal-habal can be hired.  These are motorbikes that take passengers.  we have not gone on one in Dahican though.

Therefore, we would recommend that you bring a car or hire a van when in Dahican, Mati.



Swim at your own risk. Waves can get to 2 meters in height.

Sunbathe.

Skim.

Surf.

Secrets to Getting to One of the Best Philippine Beaches In Medina Misamis Oriental

April 05, 2018

Best Philippine Beaches - Medina Misamis Oriental
Best Beaches in the Philippines - Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip

Medina, Misamis Oriental is no Boracay island, but it has a white beach that cures my Vitamin sea deficiency.  This beach is in Duca, where Philippine beach resorts like Duka Bay Resort, DU Dy, and Capistrano Beach are known mostly only to locals.  Duca beach (a.k.a. Duca White Beach) is one of the best beaches in the Philippines, and yet some of you have probably never been there.

HOW TO GET TO MEDINA, MISAMIS ORIENTAL
I know of three ways to get to Medina, Misamis Oriental:
  • via Cagayan de Oro City Misamis Oriental by bus
  • via Camiguin by barge and bus
  • via Butuan by bus

I am most familiar with the route via Cagayan de Oro City, which is 2-3 hours away by bus.

Choose the "Portulin" Medina bus stop near Duka Bay resort.  This is the quickest way to go to the beach area. Most bus conductors know this bus stop, too.  But, if you happen to accidentally find yourself at the other bus stop, Fiesta Brand in Cabug, do not panic.  Take the next tip below.


Travel tip: When in Medina, Misamis Oriental
Medina Misamis Oriental mode of transportation
When in Medina, travel by "motorsikad".

Recommended way to travel around Medina is by motorsikad, Medina's main means of public transportation.

It not the same as Cagayan de Oro's motorela.  The seating arrangement is also different, but it is just as interesting in structure.

Motorsikad fare per passenger varies from 7 to 10 Php pesos  (0.20-0.25 USD), so get your change ready.

If you happened to ride a "sikad", a bike with sidecar or motorsikad without a motor, the fare varies on your conscience.  Ha ha!  But seriously, it varies from 5 to 10 pesos per passenger.  It is best to ask the engine (a.k.a the driver with human power) before going on the ride.

There are no taxis and jeepneys around Medina.

Motorsikads, and sikads rarely operate after 9PM.  So enjoy the silence and the fresh air.

MEDINA, MISAMIS ORIENTAL MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Beach Philippine Beaches - Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip
Beach Philippine Beaches -
Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip
Duca white beach is on my list for the best beaches in the Philippines.  The local beach resorts here with at least basic amenities are Duka Bay resort, Capistrano resort, and D.U. Dy resort.




It is no Boracay beach, so do not expect commercial food chains 10 meters from the shore of this beautiful Philippine beach.



Medina's Alibuag Cold Spring, is a wonderfully unique swimming attraction as well.  A cemented rock pool surrounding a natural freshwater cold spring.  The water is clear and very cold.  You might want to see it to believe it.

Then, a special event that is worth mentioning is “Hinuklog.”  It is a Medina re-enactment street play based on "Pasyon Ni Kristo" (translation Passion of Christ).  It happens during the Holy days of the Holy Week.  It is a yearly tradition in Medina, Misamis Oriental that continues to gain popularity among Christian and non-Christian tourists.

7 Favorite Pies To Celebrate PiDay

March 14, 2017

Many reasons to love pie.  I love a good pie to finish a meal or even have pie as a full meal in my travels.  I have not been shy about trying a new pie every now and then.

By definition, a pie is a filling with a pastry crust.  It is versatile and so I arranged these pies in no particular order, with their diverse distinctions.  Here are

Travel and Booking Hotel Rooms Made Easy For Travel Planners Thru Traveloka

February 04, 2017
I have done quite a bit of travelling and I always have extra copies printed, screenshot, and placed in a separate folder in my USB and Google Drive just to be sure.  I was quite pleased to have found an app that makes it easier. 

Plus, a short review on the Mallberry Suites at the bottom of this article. ;)

It was a Saturday when my friends made a sudden decision to have an overnight stay where we all can be together.  They assigned me the task of booking hotel rooms in Cagayan de Oro because they trusted me as the "travel blogger" of the group. 



Everybody knows that sleepovers with friends are sleepless nights together of course, so I knew I needed 24 hour food establishments nearby.  Almost immediately, I had a few hotels in Cagayan de Oro as options in mind. :D

I got on my phone and browsed on my App Traveloka for frequent discounted rooms in Cagayan de Oro.



Traveloka App Review


Traveloka is a very impressive phone app that I used in booking hotel rooms because I am a type of travel planner who wants to do everything efficiently.

I was able to book two rooms in Malberry Suites Business Hotel among hotels in Cagayan de Oro with ease and less time needed to search for my booking details afterwards. 

A Tedious Travel Planner Like Myself Will Love This App
If there was a type of traveller I could categorize myself in, I would say, I am a “perfectionist traveller”.  I want everything ready in my travels.  Booking hotel rooms should be planned, done, printed, and photographed on my phone. 

I was very impressed by how efficient the app was to make sure it kept three records of the booking immediately after confirmation in the following:
-   an easy-to-access “My Booking” button on the bottom.
  • an email with the confirmation code
  • a text sent to your contact number provided

I was a happy travel planner who didn’t need to take extra steps to keeping details of the booking because they were sent to me right away automatically.

Travelling Light And Safe By Only Using Your Traveloka Phone App
I also rely heavily on apps on my phone because it is easier to whip out the device in public compared to a tablet or a laptop.  I could look for a hotel on my phone while in a cafe sipping on some coffee, or even when I am in an airport waiting for my flight is so much more convenient.

I needed two rooms for 4 persons so to show you how I used the app, here were the steps on which I was able to book the hotel.


How To Use The Traveloka Phone App
Here is the simple menu of the Traveloka App. 

All I had to do was click on the “Hotels” button.


From here, I entered the details needed — Destination, Check-in Date, Duration, Number of Guests, and Number of Rooms —  and clicked “Search”.



Scrolling down from the list of details then give me hotels in Cagayan de Oro to choose from.  I zeroed in on Malberry Suites Business Hotel.  So I clicked on the name of the hotel.




The app brought me to a page where I could see the Main Facilities offered by the hotel while the price value of the room is shown below.  I clicked on the orange button, which seemed to conveniently be the uniform color of the buttons in this app.




Browsing thru the app is made easier with the easy to understand features offered by the hotel like the Free Breakfast and Free Wifi feature which turn green when available.  Choices of the types of rooms are also easy to view by scrolling down from this point.  I then click on the orange button of the corresponding room I want to get.



From here, there are four steps I have to go thru to confirm and pay for my booking.  I simply click “I’m booking for myself” and enter “any special requests” if I preferred a non-smoking room, a room by the window, a room with 3 pillows, or any other particular needs I want to request for.




I now was brought to the page where I could review the details and double check the booking details.  Scrolling down would bring me to the “Continue to Payment” button.



This part is impressive in my opinion as it gives me many options to pay for the booking.  Nowadays, when 711 convenient stores are starting to be more common near hotels in Cagayan de Oro, the Over-the-counter option was the most attractive option.




I receive a voucher which i needed to pay for the booking..




 ...and voila!  
I get an SMS, an email, and the booking is available to be viewed in the app itself.




Booking hotel rooms couldn’t be more convenient.


You Never Go Hungry Staying At Malberry Suites

When we went to the hotel to check in, I felt safe knowing that security was visible yet courteous when I entered the building.
Front Desk greeted me with a smile when I checked in and answered my every question about available facilities.
I was disappointed to know that the swimming pool (a feature marked as available in the Traveloka description) was only available if we added payment.

But this hotel did not fail me on my need to have 24 hour food establishments nearby.  There was a 711, a Yellow Cab pizza place, and McDonald's within walking distance.  Thank God!



Conclusion

The one-night stay at Mallberry Suites using the hotel booking app Traveloka was a success.

I recommend it to all who want to see discounted rates with season promos.  It also has promos for when there are holidays.

My favourite part about it has to the very thoughtful feature of immediately giving you copies of the booking on your phone, email, and the app itself.

Plus, it also helps book flights.  Genius Traveloka!

Catch ya later, fellow munchters!
