After a successful stint at the Food and Hotel Culinary Challenge in Singapore last year, the winning tie-up of the Magsaysay Center for Hospitality & Culinary Arts or MIHCA and Shang-ri La Makati did it again! This time, they reaped awards in HOFEX 2011, considered the most prestigious culinary competition in Asia. HOFEX is Asia's leading food and hospitality tradeshow with over 1,800 exhibiting companies and 35,000 professionals from all over the world gathered together at the Hong Kong Convention Center last May 7-10.

Max’s coffee table book launched
We ate in Max's SM Sucat for Easter. Nothing fancy. But dining at Max's has a nomnom factor that never fails. Long before the rise of today's bonchons, twice-fried, gourmet international fried chickens, there was Max's - a proudly Filipino brand with a crunch and deliciousness to every bite Their recently-launched coffee table book should be in a foodie's collection, especially for loyalists of the brand. It is initially sold at Max's Scout Tuason brand for P2,500 - quite pricey, but hey, it's hardbound and with lots of glossy pictures inside. Authored by ... Continue Reading...
Chicken Charlie in Malate
Young entrepreneur Ifore Yu launched Chicken Charlie after falling in love with the taste of Bonchon in New York (now he says the local Bonchon franchise is nowhere near as delicious!) So he concocted his own recipe of what a great-tasting, twice-fried Korean fried chicken would be like, and came up with his own brand. Chicken Charlie's first branch in the heart of Manila is now occupying the former spot of Kopi Roti in Adriatico St. Malate. It should be my new hangout soon, as it is near the office. I can't help myself from eating one chicken wing after another. ... Continue Reading...
Buon Giorno @ Rockwell Business Center, Ortigas
It was my first time to visit the Rockwell Business Center within the Meralco Compound in Ortigas. Shame on me, I didn't even know there was a "Rockwell" in this part of town. Normally, I would think it's the Power Plant Mall, one of my favorite shopping and dining destinations in the metro. Just like the Rockwell in Makati, this one didn't disappoint - although admittedly, I need to explore it more. The area consists of office towers fitted with contemporary work spaces. I think the best part is the generous landscaping and the majestic view of the Ortigas ... Continue Reading...
Bakery Fair 2011: cakes galore!
Baking enthusiasts and those with a sweet tooth: February 20 (Sunday) is the last day to visit Bakery Fair 2011 organized by the Filipino Chinese Bakery Association Inc. at the World Trade Center in Manila. I had an interesting time at this fair ( & paying the P100 entrance fee like a good citizen) even though I was alone roaming the exhibition hall. Hubby and all the others wearing shorts weren't allowed in, even though it was a hot, sweltering day in Manila. Why oh why? :D Animal-inspired cake creations inspired by 2011 being the Year of the Rabbit ... Continue Reading...
