During this trip, I was glad to discover Beryl's Chocolates and to visit their showroom-cum-museum in Kuala Lumpur. Actually, it's a big house converted into a commercial structure. I was thinking that it was such a nice marketing ploy, to promote the brand, and products that are proudly made in Malaysia.There was a steady stream of tourists like us a-visiting, for who can refuse chocolates? My son, the dessert lover, enjoyed our little tour, particularly as they were giving us free bites of chocolates to sample. I ended up buying $70 worth of chocs to take ... Continue Reading...
Sakae Sushi: Manila’s high-tech sushi place
Eating Japanese was the best thing that happened to me this Saturday. It was at Sakae Sushi in Mall of Asia, reputed to have the city's longest kaiten or conveyor belt. It's the nearest thing you can have to those places in Japan, only that this one is a Singaporean chain. See the plates passing by th conveyor belt? They're color-coded. Purple plates are priced at P39, yellow at P59, green at P79 and red at P99. Sakae Sushi's eat-all-you can buffet has been packing them in among Asians living in Manila, we heard. Read this sign, the sign looks like something we ... Continue Reading...
A Valentine Meal for My Sweet, Year 2
This post is rather late, I know. After the deep appreciation for last year's A Valentine Meal for My Sweet, it seems hubby now wants it to be an annual affair. I can't complain, as planning for the V-day's little feast always brings out my resourcefulness and creativity. It has been a busy month though. After getting wed, spending our honeymoon, travelling, going back to work and suffering from a car breakdown on the first week back, it seemed practical to focus on easy-to-prepare meals such as these ones ( I even forgot to prepare the soup). Here's to you, Mah ... Continue Reading...
Royce Rockwell: the initial price list
Royce Chocolates has always been elusive to Manilans and aren't we glad they now have an official franchisee in the Philippines. These are the Angs, the same family behind the Diamond Hotel. Royce Philippines first store is now on soft opening in Rockwell - a timely occurrence we might say, since it's the peak of the gift-giving season that's Christmas! Before this, we were quite content getting our Royce fix from Japanese stores like Konbini in Greenhills or whoever brought these divine chocs home from Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. Royce Manila was kind enough to ... Continue Reading...
MoMo! Food + Drink, Robinson’s Midtown
From Chef Sau Del Rosario of M Cafe and Chelsea Market & Cafe now comes MoMo! Food + Drink in Robinson's Midtown, Manila. I have to admit this is my favorite hang-out these days, as it is almost walking distance from our office. Just a few of the reasons why I like this place: 1. Bright and chic interiors 2. The coffee comes with free ChocNut 3. I can eat here with only one hundred fifty pesos and still feel posh :P 4. Free Wi-Fi 5. Free use of the internet on their single LCD monitor 6. Watching the world go by on Pedro Gil Street 7. Totally sinful ... Continue Reading...
