A cheerful person in a hat holds a quill over an open book at a table in a cozy kitchen, with a typewriter and an ink well nearby. A chef can be seen in the background.

I’m Vlad Bunoan, a veteran journalist with a passion for food, theater, and lifestyle in general. Eat + Play brings together my independent reviews, essays, and reflections, and serves as both a portfolio and ongoing publication, gathering recent past work while providing space for new writing.

I have followed and written about the lifestyle scene since the 1990s, initially for BusinessWorld and later on for Business Mirror, and even regional publications, before joining ABS-CBN News Online in 2012.

Thanks for reading — and for joining me at the table and in the audience.
