Excite your dinner with Melo’s new...

I love dining at Melo’s. They have the best of just about anything and this is perhaps one of the very restaurants that have truly wowed their diners. Every time I have dinner there, I see diners pursing their lips, rolling their eyes and nodding in all directions just to express how good the food tastes.

Melo’s now serves Raclette, a kind of Swiss cheese that is grilled and is not as salty as cheddar. It is smooth to the taste...

The Pinoy Life at Large greets you all H...

I managed to buy some, plus a few necessities. My sister’s home thus it’s a family reunion of sorts. Despite all this rush, you can feel the excitement in the air.
