I was ready to ignore this sushi bar in BF Homes Paranaque until I read something about it. I knew the spot since it used to be occupied by Serenitea, until the latter got bigger and moved to a more spacious location. Anyway, this Sensei looked dark yet welcoming. Hubby doesn't like it when the menu doesn't have pictures of the food, but I love how this blackboard made me feel like I was ordering food from the classroom :) Add to this a library. If I owned this resto, I'd get nervous if diners squirreled away any of my cookbooks. On the table: ... Continue Reading...

The King & I at Resorts World Manila
Another world-acclaimed musical is put on a spotlight at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila with the staging of "The King & I." We were able to watch a preview of the show last Saturday and here's why it's a must-see when it opens on September 15: - all star, talented cast led by Miss Saigon veterans Monique Wilson and Leo Valdez essaying the roles of Anna and the King - fantastic costumes designed by Rajo Laurel - fabulous stage and set designs.

Swiss food festival at The Peninsula Manila slated on August 2 to 11

Our chatter may be meaningless but at least I'll be relishing the ambiance and of course their famous house treats like halo-halo. I've always been a Pen passerby but recently, I ...

Pnoy SONA 2012: all ready
Everything's set for President Aquino's report to the nation later.Storm Ferdie exited the country already, but there will still be no classes in some Quezon City public schools which are in close proximity to Batasang Pambansa, the venue of the President's speech. This annual event is such a big deal, and even fashion watchers regularly await what the women legislators are wearing ( related question: will Shalani Soledad show up?) The State of the Nation speech is still a mystery up to its time of delivery but there are already some things to expect. According to ... Continue Reading...
