Moving again. It’s still something I am strangely looking forward to, although certainly not to all the packing that comes with it.
I’ve moved a lot since I was 19 so I can safely say I’m an expert at dumping all my clothes in several pieces of garbage bags (haha!), but I’ve never become so attached to a neighborhood as I have to Kapitolyo. Yes, I will not miss the house, but the neighborhood. You see, Kapitolyo, Pasig, is a combination of quiet residential and bustling food corner. We live in a sort of cul-de-sac with no annoying sounds during the day and only the singing love birds coming from our neighbors across the street. It almost feels like living in the province, except when you turn right down the road, you enter the busy East Capitol drive and you are immediately thrust in the middle of foodie paradise. Kapitolyo is not just all about food though, so I’ve compiled the top 10 things I will miss about Kapitolyo (in no particular order):
- running in Capitol Commons
- beef ramen at RamenCool
- Cris’ healing hands at Regent Spa, Ace Hotel
- burgers and buffalo wings at Charlie’s Grill
- sausage platter, bacon slab, beef stew, truffle mushroom pasta at Poco Deli
- the Man-Sandwich at Mad Marks
- pork barbecue at Three Sisters Restaurant
- tapa breakfast at Milky Sunny
- very close proximity to banks
- Santi’s at Capitol Commons
We had finally tried Ninak and while the food is good, I can’t say that I will miss it.
