All right, there's a seeming Korean invasion in Manila's commercial scene, and if you include our President's love life, that's a double whammy! :) Along with Korean groceries, Korean bakeries are also sprouting up in select places and the most famous among them is the international franchise Tous Les Jours. What it means I really don't know (too tired to Google, at this point). Maybe Koreans, like Filipinos, also have a colonial mentality. For how else can you put a French name on a Korean bakery? It escapes me ;) But I wasn't complaining, the moment I saw these ... Continue Reading...
Before Magnum ice cream, there was…..
my favorite treats from the Korean grocery! I can't read the label but I just know they're good. Exhibit A is what I'd call "Fish Be With You" which is priced for only P35 in my suki Korean grocery. The makers were sweet enough to shape this ice cream like a fish. The best thing about this is its portability. You can actually hold the ice cream sans the wrapper because the crispy wafer holds it all together. And when you bite, crunchy meets creamy vanilla. The clincher is the addition of my favorite azuki (red) beans. I really love azuki in my mochi, ... Continue Reading...
J.CO Donuts & Coffee opens in the Philippines!
We were thrilled to be part of the J.Co experience yesterday as the donut brand opened its first flagship store at The Strip in Megamall Bldg B. The store was filled to the brim with celebrities and guests. Oh-so-delicious donuts were generously distributed for everyone to try, with matching drinks to boot. Our verdict: this coffeeshop chain which originated in Indonesia is sure to be a hit in dessert-crazy Manila. Particularly as they also have yogurt with different kinds of toppings and the widest assortment of beverages... both hot and cold. Oooh la ... Continue Reading...
Chicken Delish @ Midnight Mercato Wednesdays
It's all systems go as far as my fried chicken brand is concerned ;) In fact, I've opened my first store front in Caltex Better Living (more on that later). Am setting my sights on Project: Retire from the Corporate Jungle early on, and of course fulfill my wish of seeing my youngest daughter Lucia's growing up years. Going into business (where I can have my own time) is proving to be an irresistible option. And guess what? I still love selling in the weekend markets. Make it weekday since you can find me at Midnight Mercato Wednesdays now (at least for the next few ... Continue Reading...
Yoshinoya’s new super bowls!
Yes, the Yoshinoya fastfood chain is still alive and kicking...in Manila, that is. Recently, we trooped to their Robinsons Galleria branch for a preview of their great-tasting new dishes. Here is one place to satiate your hunger with just one bowl... make it super bowl! :) The Tokyo Beef Bowl stakes Yoshinoya's claim of being the king of the beef bowls. This was everybody's favorite because of the tender, flavorful thin slices of beef which was further enhanced by ample slices of onion and capsicum. For the health conscious, Yoshinoya’s Veggie Beef has ... Continue Reading...
