Last Saturday, I did something really fruitful because I attended the Barista 101 (coffee making) class at the Maya Kitchen in Makati City. Being a coffee lover, I can't tell you enough how thrilled I was to learn how coffee is prepared in a commercial setting, from operating the machine to making various kinds of coffee drinks. Among these are Americano, latte, cappuccino and mocha. Our able teacher Eric taught us how to operate an espresso machine and how to froth milk for adding to your coffee concoction. But he did also teach us about how to come up with coffee ... Continue Reading...
Dining with the best views of Makati at Flame Restaurant, Discovery Primea
There was an invite from Ogilvy Manila and the gracious folks of the five-star hotel Discovery Primea to try their newly-opened Flame Restaurant for lunch. It was in conflict with another schedule and I finally made it to dinner. What can I say...the ambiance, the grandeur of the place and the views of the Makati skyline from the 16th floor simply took my breath away! I highly recommend a visit to Flame Restaurant if you're rekindling an old flame, discovering a new flame or simply igniting a "fire," lol. Daytime is recommended for business lunch and evenings ...

Check out new Greenwich Bacon Crispy Thins!
At a catered party recently, a friend and I were talking about the food. And tactless old me pointed out: "Mas masarap pa lasagna ng Greenwich dito eh." Ok, I said that because am a Greenwich fan...not only of their lasagna but also their chicken and pizzas. Take note: am cutting down on fast food and I don't really go crazy for pizza but I always make an exception with Greenwich. They make yummy stuff. Am happy that they've rolled out a new product and it's called the Bacon Crispy Thins! The official press release describes it as a "one-of- a-kind limited ... Continue Reading...
Fruit-based menu in Marco Polo Ortigas Manila is a must-try!
The invite to try Marco Polo Ortigas Manila's fruit-based menu sure got me curious. Veggies go well with savory food, but fruits?? It was simply worth taking a look. From now until August, the Marco Polo hotels in Manila, Cebu and Davao are offering diners a taste of the islands with the irresistible flavor of tropical fruits infused in delectable dishes. We started our lunch with this Pineapple-Mango salad with tamarind vinaigrette dressing. It was crowned with grilled prawns. Just how wonderful the colors are! But I also love that this salad is healthy and ... Continue Reading...
Bondi & Bourke by Chef Wade Watson opens in BGC
We were fortunate enough to attend a tasting session at Bondi & Bourke last week as it opened its doors in Forbes Town Center, Bonifacio Global City. I had a nice experience dining at Abaca Restaurant in Cebu and its talented executive chef, Wade Watson, has left the fold to open his own chain of restaurants, and that's B & B. Cebu's loss is now Manila's gain. I haven't been to Bondi & Bourke's maiden resto in Legaspi Village, Makati. Its BGC branch is chicly designed in the style of a bistro, with a high ceiling and casual, stylish interiors. The airy ... Continue Reading...
