.... and so it came to pass that the Greek cooking class by chef-patron Robby Goco that I attended two Saturdays ago at The Maya Kitchen was the best one I've had this year! Chef Robby's kitchen anecdotes were simply too engaging and the recipes he shared too absorbing that even a toilet break was a luxury.He really should teach more cooking classes, and attending his cooking class is a must if you're a fan of his Greek restaurant chain Cyma or that great burger house Charlie's Grind & Grill! The good thing with this chef: he shares as much as he can what he ... Continue Reading...

Maxims Tower at Resorts World Manila: a high-tech hotel
I've always been curious about the Maxims Tower beside the Marriott Hotel in Resorts World Manila. With all of the rooms consisting of spacious suites, it is reportedly the only six-star hotel in the Philippines.

They're fitted with basic ... Continue Reading...

We had a glimpse of the many ways you can do magic with processed meat during a launch event at Chef Jessie located at the Rockwell Club last week. For example, you can ... Continue Reading...
Mercato Centrale food delivery via 87878
City Delivery (just dial 87878) has partnered with Mercato Centrale to deliver the food products of their most popular merchants all days of the week! I am glad this service is now available because while I truly love the weekend markets, there are times when am too lazy to get out of bed early. Plus, Saturdays and Sundays are usually reserved for family bonding. I am still getting used to this food delivery thing and I can easily see the distinct advantages: 1. No more driving to the destination (in this case, the Mercato Centrale venue at the Bonifacio Global ... Continue Reading...
Zubiri resignation speech: ‘no amount of power, position or wealth is worth sacrificing one’s honor &integrity’
Breaking news: Juan Miguel "Migs" Zubiri has resigned in a move that no other politician embroiled in a scandal has done in recent memory: resign his Senate post amid lingering accusations of electoral fraud. We laud Zubiri's move and we believe this is not the end of his political career. Now that the people realizes his delicadeza and integrity, we hope he can still get elected to a top political position in clean, free and honest elections someday. We also hope this will be a shining example for other policians and government officials in tainted scandals to do ... Continue Reading...
