I mean to visit J.CO Donuts in (faraway from me) SM Megamall one of these days. It seems to be the perfect place to enjoy a topnotch dessert and my favorite cup of brewed coffee. But somehow, I can't forget the snazzy opening they had last week which was graced by some of Manila's beautiful people no less. (From left) model Kelly Misa, Ornussa Cadness, Karylle and Luis Manzano exuded vintage Hollywood glamor as the red carpet was laid out for the donut store's opening at The Strip in Megamall. Spotted holding a Snow White Donut was fitness buff Marc Nelson. ... 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...
Marvin Agustin: 22 restaurants and counting….
We were able to catch up last week with actor Marvin Agustin who has just been hailed the latest brand ambassador of Knorr. It's no mean feat since Knorr as a recognized global brand usually taps noted chefs and other experts in the culinary field. But Marvin is an exception since aside from being a famous actor, he's also known for his growing "empire" of restaurants, among them Sumo Sam, John & Yoko, Mr. Kurosawa, Marciano's, to name just a few. Marvin said he has 22 restaurants at the moment which will grow to 30 within the year as they branch out to the ... Continue Reading...
Jessica Sanchez wows crowd with ‘I Will Always Love You’
Jessica Sanchez, the now-famous 16 year old with Filipino lineage (yes, her mom's a Filipina) is our best bet for American Idol 2012 Season 11. We love, love her inspired rendition of Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You.' Whitney may now have a successor, and she's soaring high. Praise for Jessica Sanchez: "Just amazing. I don't even know what to say," said AI judge Jennifer Lopez. "Jessica, you may be the one. You just made 40 million people cry," added Steven Tyler. ... Continue Reading...
