Marriott Hotel Manila's Worldwide Thai Dinner

If there's one reason why one should keep coming back to M Cafe of Marriott Hotel Manila, that will be the really great variety of Thais dishes in their buffet station. I mean, if you are really up for some spicy and flavorful Thai food, this is one of the best places in the metro that you can indulge into.

And last night, I got a chance to challenge again my appetite and my palette as Marriott Hotel Manila joined to this one-night celebration of Thai cuisine as they participate to the Worldwide Thai Dinner Party.

 

Impressca: The new "Salad Bar"

Missing that "salad bar" that you used to love from this certain fast food joint that used to challenge you in building one brick-size salad in one plate?

Well, your longing to that salad bar is now gone as a food joint offers a wonderful same old salad bar in a very affordable price! Guys, let's visit Impressca!

The Bloggers' Bibingcrepe Challenge

I believe, one of the happiest moments that we had on our field trip recently was the Bibingcrepe challenge that we had. Yes, Bibingcrepe - bibingka na crepe! Sounds interesting, right?

Well, we met at the Half Moon Asian Cafe at Tomas Morato where they served this tummy-filling, super yummy dish, BUT the challenge that we, bloggers, had didn't happen here! It happened up, up and away there in Baguio City! Wee!

Yes, we had our field trip there in Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, where we stayed at the very comfy Mines View Park Hotel! Wee again!

And since Half Moon Asian Cafe and Mines View Park Hotel is under one management, we bravely took the challenge of making our very own Bibingcrepe with the help of Mines View Park Hotel and Half Moon Asian Cafe Baguio gents! Yes, there's a Half Moon branch in Baguio! :-P

One of the fun indoor activities that you can request to the hotel management if you stay with them is to learn something like cooking the Half Moon Asian Cafe's pride, Bibingcrepe! Isn't that great and exciting.

Garliciously Krazy Garlik

If you love garlic – fresh, whole, crushed, sautéed, fried or even sweetened, this is the best place for you. I am honestly not a big fan of garlic, one reason why sometimes I don’t like Marinara Pasta, but with Krazy Garlik, I think something is about to change.

With Krazy Garlik, I’d be lying if I say I didn’t fell in love all over again. It was a rekindled love for garlic when I got to experience this new foodie joint at the second level of Greenbelt 5 in Ayala Center, Makati City.

With its outstanding theme just like its sister foodie joints, T.G.I.Friday’s, Italiannis, Fish & Co., Flapjacks, Billy Rock and Pig Out, Krazy Garlik has this Alice in Garlicland that will surely be a hit to all foodies.

As for their menu, it was like being one of the judges of Iron Chef where the main ingredient of the day is “garlic.” Their dishes come from the different parts of the world, but with a garlic twist on it and I’m sure that will surely challenge our palettes by this simple ingredient.

Ginzadon: A Fusion of Japanese-Korean Cuisine

Looking for nice place to hangout after some casino game or just to relax after a hard day at work? Maxims Hotel, the first and only six-star hotel in the country which will be fully functional by November, just opens a new door of gastronomic escapade that caters to the harmonious Japanese cuisine and to the flaring spicy Korean cuisine - Ginzadon.

I got a wonderful invitation to dine at this newly opened resto/bistro, and I’m so delighted to hear that they are indeed serving great Japanese and Korean dishes. Ginzadon's name is taken from "Ginza", an upscale district in Tokyo, Japan, while "don" is a Korean term for money.

I love Japanese food. I’m a big fan of this cuisine, so I’m really looking forward to this dinner. And because of the K-Pop invasion in the music scene and in our country, I’m starting to kinda love Korean cuisine – even their spicy Kim Chi!

733-1111: Dial Mang Inasal Now!

For me, nothing beats a wonderful lunch with your family while having a freshly-cooked meal, even if it’s Monday. Thanks to Mang Inasal, I had a simple yet tummy-filling lunch at home with my beloved parents through the help of 733-1111, Mang Inasal Delivery.

With my unpredictable schedule at work, I barely have time dining at home with my parents. We barely have time discussing stuff, talking about something or just talking about nothing. And I know we all miss that, doing those stuff with our families, I miss that.

That’s why I’m somehow thankful that nowadays there are a lot of food establishments, I mean, good food establishments that offer express delivery for us to enjoy a sumptuous meal with our love ones, just like Mang Inasal.

First, let me say congratulations and thank you to Jonel Uy!

Enchong and Erich say ‘I do’ Real Leaf Green Tea

Yes, the country’s hottest love team, Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales recently says I do Real Leaf Green Tea at the cinema lobby of Greenbelt 3 in Makati City.

 

As the two get ready for the premier of their first movie together under Star Cinema, “I Do,” they graced the “green carpet” premier of Real Leaf Green Tea, together with the press and some of their avid supporters in welcoming a healthy lifestyle that will surely quench the thirst of every active and on the go Filipino.

The Sinigang with Strawberry Experience

I just got home from Mines View Park Hotel in Baguio and I just can't wait to share this interesting food find that I got to know. But first, let me acknowledge the very warm accommodation of the said hotel to me and my colleagues that we received during our stay in their hotel, Thank you so much, guys!

Mines View Park Hotel is really nice great and very quiet, one of the things that I love about our trip here. But aside from the great accommodation that we received from the staff of this hotel, our tummies also enjoyed all the love from all the sumptuous dishes that they served to us.

And one of the dishes that we had  and I'm sure, we'll never forget, was the Sinigang na Baboy with Strawberry.

Yes, you read it right! SINIGANG NA BABOY WITH STRAWBERRY!
