More with Noor

Living in BGC is like living in a different planet compared to the other parts of Metro Manila. I’ve been staying in BGC for a total of 10 months now. Seeing that I don’t know how to cook and I can’t really eat at Jollibee everyday [even if I really want to], I always eat out. I love trying different restaurants around the [Bonifacio Global] city and I make it a point to not eat at the same place more than once, unless the food is really really good like Frankie’s, Sushi Nori, Marugame Udon, and Ooma (and Go! Bento because #afford).

A new restaurant recently opened in BGC and it’s the first of its kind. Noor Manila offers Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh ingredients. When I think of Mediterranean food, I imagine dishes with very rich flavors and a whole lot of spices. That’s exactly what you can expect from Noor.

One of the owners, Tair, said they named the restaurant Noor because it translates to light, and she mentioned that her name and the name of her husband (the chef) both mean light when translated to English (uyyy destiny). Tair was a food critic back in Israel and her husband was also a chef there, so you know the food is supposed to be good.

So You Had a Bad Day

Hey, fam! It’s been awhile since I posted here and so much has changed. From being part of my dream company to losing my dream job and now finding my way again, it’s been a roller coaster ride and there are days when I really doubt myself and struggle with a lot of questions. Why me? Why now? What’s next? I know this is very common especially for people my age and sometimes, it takes a lot of effort just to make yourself feel better. I listed below some things that can help you cope everyday.
