4. Trying a new ramen place like Mitsuyado Sei Men
There are hundreds of ramen places in Manila that have been sprouting in each and every corner. Some have claimed to be the best, but “best” is usually subjective.
We discovered Mitsuyado Sei Men while I was in school in Jupiter. Extremely stressed with school load, I wanted to try a new ramen place aside from the usual ones that were greatly marketed. I was surprised that my friends and I, who are self budding “Ramen connoisseurs”, were not aware of this ramen place.
We were glad we tried something new that day and discovered Mitsuyado Sei Men. Their noodles are handmade (we watched them make it) and the broth is amazing! Best of all, you can get a bowl good for 2 for Php280 or less! (Usually, ramen in Manila costs around Php400 a bowl). We recommend you try their Karashi Ramen (spicy), Shoyu and their cheese tsukemen (you put cheese sauce on top of it and dip it in broth – amazing!)
3. Bringing your friends to a rooftop bar called Bunk
I love discovering new places with my friends, especially obscure ones. We try our best to find places that could be better than the usual commercialized hangout spots, such as Bunk, which gives way to Filipino artists.
BUNK is the brainchild of Francine Delos Reyes, a young professional who wants to bring the art scene in Mandaluyong. She recalls that there isn’t many art places in the area. She wants to bring an audience to independent artists, such as musicians and painters.
Manila’s vanilla skies tend to turn into a multitude of colors that make the mood extra relaxed whenever I’m there. In fact, all of my companions constantly have a brief moment of silence to take in the view and the windy skies.
2. Visiting cuties at a dog or cat cafe
Look at this cutieee!!! Did you know that you can go to a pet cafe and either bring your pet or play with the pets there? It’s a fairly new concept here in Manila that many haven’t tried yet. If you haven’t, you probably just don’t see the benefit of it yet. Pet interaction is said to be a stress reliever. Whatever job or school load you have to endure and get through, your stress levels will decrease once you see these wonderful creatures!
1. Trying an upside down cafe!
I love discovering artsy creative places, especially museums. However, I also love discovering creative places that are fused with dining. Talk about creative, this cafe’s theme is all about being upside down and everything there is literally upside down! What a cool new place to hang out!
So, don’t let this awesome experience turn into an awwwsome one due to singaw pain. Mouth sores don’t usually lead to complications, but you can develop secondary infections, which can make it more painful and last longer. Treatments to help fight infection can therefore be useful. For singaw due to fungal infection, applying Miconazole (Daktarin oral gel) can give relief in as fast as 2 days. I’ve recently tried it and I was surprised because it didn’t sting (unlike when I gargle salt water solutions). It also tastes good – didn’t taste like medicine at all.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
