My week has been busy with lunches and dinners. And it seems most of them are centered on the newest place in town to explore your culinary palate further ... Bonifacio High Street Central in Bonifacio Global City (just across the huge store of R.O.X.) For a product launch, I was glad to dine at SLICE - the resto of Sen. Pia Cayetano. Ambiance was, overall, bright and cheery. The prices aren't bad either - you can enjoy coffee and cake for a little less than P200. Our friend Franco told me not to miss the yema chocolate cupcake (P70 each). The condensada/dulce de ... Continue Reading...
The Cake Club: not just about cakes
I had my trepidation the first time I heard about The Cake Club. First, I thought it was so generic-sounding for a dessert place and held no appeal for someone like me who's trying to a) lose weight and b) avoid diabetes. I was certainly glad to find that the place offered more than desserts. Although you're highly encouraged to clinch your meal with a sweet, happy ending...more on that later. We started our meal with a highly-indulgent appetizer called the foie gras macaron (P150 each), fashioned by the Diamond Hotel's executive chef Nick Stoyanov from a French ... Continue Reading...
Chicken Delish in Yummy Eats 2012
I attended (and enjoyed) Yummy Eats last year. This is the annual food fair organized by YUMMY Magazine of Summit Media. I never thought I'd be part of Yummy Eats 2012 - not as a guest but as a featured food concessionaire! As my friends know, I've opened my mini-restaurant at Caltex Better Living in the South of Manila a few months ago. The business has its ups and downs, but mostly it's my frustration at not being able to concentrate on the biz full-time (since am still part of the corporate jungle). Still, I welcome occasional gigs like Yummy Eats since it gives me ... Continue Reading...
Old Macau and a porkchop bun
We went to Macau recently and had the smoothest flight via Cebu Pacific. The same guy headed the plane going in and out of Manila - a certain Capt. Florencio. It's been 5 years since I flew international with Cebu Pacific and my good experience will probably make me consider travelling with them to some exotic destinations like Hanoi or Siem Reap. The sandwich they serve is terrible though. I felt bad paying P100 each for something that tasted like cardboard. Needless to say, we left it unfinished. Cebu Pacific flights from Manila to Macau arrive at an unholy hour ... Continue Reading...
Diamond Hotel’s Corniche features Culinaria Capampangan by Chef Sau Del Rosario
Am not much into eat-all-you can buffet these days for the reason that it will make me have Claudine Barretto hips more horizontally-challenged. I broke my fast with the invitation from Diamond Hotel to try their just-launched Filipino food festival at Corniche with the spotlight on Culinaria Capampangan by Chef Sau Del Rosario. Indeed, these words made me vanish dieting from my vocabulary: Kapampangan (certainly my fave cuisine) and Chef Sau. One would be a fool to resist an appointment with this celebrity cook. So there I was lucky to be seated with the ... Continue Reading...
