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...
Lady Gaga in Manila!
Controversial pop singer Lady Gaga peacefully arrived in Manila Saturday night amid religious protests of her upcoming concert.

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...
