By | Foodie, Proud to be Pinoy! | No Comments

Our wonderful evening with Dedet, The @lechon_diva and David@the.hungry.tourist

I was surprised to see my son’s bestfriend, Carlo @carlo_alvarez , as the host for David ? ( Well he’s a foodie and a chef so I guess i shouldn’t be surprised. ) @amsalvarez

David was a blogger in Israel since 2010 and he decided to go international 1.5 years ago and now he uses instagram ( with almost 100,000 followers from all over the world) and facebook. He organizes food tours all over the world. Hopefully he will have one in the Philippines. Watch the video and you will find out why @the.hungry.tourist is Heart2Heart approved ! #thehungrytourist#lechondiva #lechon #pepitaskitchen#h2hproudtobepinoy#itsmorefuninthephilipines #h2hlechon#h2hblogers #h2hpeople
