Lunch at Giligan's
My favourite restaurant in the Philippines. Say all you want but I love the Kare-Kareng Gulay, Crispy Sisig, and Garlic Fried Chicken from Giligan's Restaurant.

KFC for Breakfast
I tried KFC from Canada, China, Malaysia, and the Philippines and below are my opinion. Malaysia has the most flavourful spicy chicken (because they used more spices), but the Philippines has the best gravy.
For breakfast today (yes, breakfast), I ate all the KFC food I want to eat because the KFC in Canada is not as good.

Day 0 of Vacation: YVR to NRT to NAIA
Vacation! The last 8 months is all about the next two weeks. We're off to the The Philippines to get married again! In this blog, I'll focus on the things we ate
and we ate a lot!
By 12:00 NN, we're done checking in and going to security. We're enjoying our Chinese cuisine lunch at a place called Hanami Sushi (yes, I know, it's confusing). After lunch, I asked hubby to buy me Starbucks drinks. We're now waiting at the Gate.
For now, we went directly to our boarding gate and ate at the closest convenience store. I would have ordered the curry, but it would take 10 minutes, so I opted for their ramen and noodles.
That's it for Day 0 of our vacation!
Breakfast and Lunch in YVR
Our flight is at 2:25 PM (Pacific Time), but we're so excited that we're already at the airport at around 9:00 AM. We took a Yellow Cab going to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), and knowing full well that the check-in counter will still be close, we grabbed breakfast at Tim Hortons.Tim Hortons for breakfast before we leave Canada |

Japan Airlines
I have a new favourite airline. Actually, it's not the airline that I like exactly but the planes they use. The chairs are arranged 2-4-2. Yes, there are only two seats near the window, so I have the window seat, and hubby is on the aisle seat. It's so much easier to move around without a third person to worry about.Food
I prefer food from China Airlines. The biggest surprise in JAL flight food is they give you a cup of ice cream. I didn't finish it, but it's such a pleasant surprise.Amusing to see a local (Vancouver) gelato maker supplying for JAL! Mario's Gelati. |

Narita International Airport (NRT)
Our plane arrived in Japan, and we have less than 2 hours to go through security and board our connecting flight to Manila. We wanted to explore, but it has to wait on our return.For now, we went directly to our boarding gate and ate at the closest convenience store. I would have ordered the curry, but it would take 10 minutes, so I opted for their ramen and noodles.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)
At around 10:30 PM (Philippine Time), we arrived safely in Manila. I was tired and angry (my default mood after flying trans-pacific). Our flight left Japan 1-hour late, and we were circling around NAIA for around 30-minutes (according to hubby - I was sound asleep when they made announcements) because of airport traffic.Vegetable Keema Curry and Häagen-Dazs Matcha Ice Cream |
That's it for Day 0 of our vacation!

Lunch with Parents at Masa Japanese Restaurant
It's Costco day which means late lunch with my parents. It's our "payment" for driving us home with our groceries from Costco.

First time to watch the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club
Hubby's workplace is sponsoring a company event where we get to watch the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club live at the Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium. More importantly, there's free (unlimited) food.
Sliders, hotdog, corn cob, and fried chicken |

The team lost the game, but I gained weight from all the delicious food.

Dinner at Earls
We want to watch the Whitecaps game, but we don't have a TV. We decided to have dinner here and catch the second half of the game.
The salmon was delicious. Thankfully, it's what hubby ordered. I tried the Beyond Burger and it was dry. It's such a disappointment because Earls vegetarian burger was delicious, but it's no longer available.
Earls, please bring back your vegetarian burger.
