100 Revolving Restaurant by Chef Jessie
100 Revolving Restaurant - located in the 33rd floor of MDC Building along C5 just a little after the turn towards Eastwood City - is the only one of its kind in the Philippines at the moment. Boasting of a space of about 1500 square meters, it is also the biggest. Breathtaking is the word. I've been all over town but I couldn't help but gasp an "ooh" and "aah" when I saw the view through this resto's floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A daytime visit is recommended to better appreciate the sight. One can even see the Sierra Madre mountain range and the hills of ... Continue Reading...
Beauty queen spotting: Mutya Datul & Co.
Last night, we got to see Miss Supranational 2013 Mutya Datul at the Miss Casino Filipino 2013 grand pageant.

PF Chang’s new menu choices
My seatmate during a recent food tasting session, the esteemed Inquirer columnist Rina Jimenez-David, described P.F. Chang's food as "gentrified Chinese." The description couldn't be more apt. P.F. Chang's cuisine may not be the Chinese food we grew up with but that is exactly its appeal to me. Crispy fried chicken, birthday noodles, salt & pepper spare ribs, sweet & sour pork, beef with oyster sauce, chopsuey .... they all taste the same in Chinese restos all over town but when I go to P.F. Chang's, it's different. For one, they don't have "the usual stuff" on the ... Continue Reading...
