Sinanglay is a dish normally made of tilapia and pechay (leafy greens). Its origin is the Philippines' Bicol region which is known for the spiciness of their food and using a lot of coconut milk in their dishes. Anyway, I first saw a photo of sinanglay in Appetite magazine and proceeded to recreate it in my kitchen. I couldn't find the magazine anymore but it's one of my favorite dishes from last year. I love the fact that it has the right balance of fish & vegetables. Plus it becomes so tasty with the addition of bagoong (shrimp paste) and of course the coconut ... Continue Reading...

Renuzit launch at Le Jardin restaurant BGC
Renuzit is America's top-selling gel air freshener and the scents are finally available in the Philippines! To celebrate its arrival, a launch event was held at Le Jardin, the beautiful French-themed penthouse restaurant of the W building on 32nd St. Bonifacio Global City. Host for the event was the ever-gregarious Ms. Tessa Prieto who matched the garden theme of the program with a flower and butterfly headpiece....whew. I happen to like the dress too. The media people present were invited to make cozy-looking room centerpieces using Renuzit. This gel ... Continue Reading...
New products from Marshall: the legend lives on!
Any music lover will agree that Marshall is a big name when it comes to speakers and amplifiers. I was surprised to learn that some of my favorite artists/ rock groups from those glory days of the 80s to 90s (when I was still 101% hooked on music) all used Marshall. These include Oasis, Blur, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Billy idol, Aerosmith..to name just a few! The legend lives on, and the Philippines is lucky that Marshall is strengthening its presence here with the introduction of new products. If you have yet to try the brand, we suggest that you go to the ... Continue Reading...
Best of Pinoy casual dining at Kuya J Restaurant
Just because we now have all sorts of foreign food chains around doesn't mean we get to ignore our culinary roots. I feel this way sometimes: when I get 'tongue fatigue' from slurping on so many bowls of ramen, munching on macarons and getting a headache from eating foie gras, I yearn for good old Filipino home cooking. My particular interest lies with regional cuisine and the cooking techniques of native chefs which are as diverse as these 7107 islands. This is the reason why am always on the lookout for outstanding Pinoy restos. Even though our yaya at home cooks ... Continue Reading...
I survived Fitness First #PushYourLimits!
There was an invite for us to attend the Push Your Limits event organized by Fitness First a few weeks ago in Bonifacio High Street. I was excited to go because I really like health-related activities, even though when it comes to going to the gym... it's really more of a case of "the flesh is willing, but the spirit is weak." LOL. Anyway, the activity had a series of unexpected twists for me. I didn't know that it would literally push my limits. We weren't even told to dress up for the occasion. It turns out the organizers' intention was to show how exercise ... Continue Reading...
