Serendra mosaic Shame on me but it was only this week that I got to take a first look at Serendra, the latest hip and happening place in the metro which is located in the Fort, Global City in Taguig. Serendra is another project of Community Innovations (an Ayala group) which deftly combines commercial and residential areas to create a masterplanned hub. The apartment-buildings could have done better with a more trailblazing design though, especially if you factor in the P10 million or so price tag. My journalist-friends and I were talking about how this ... Continue Reading...
Waking up to a Max’s Power Breakfast
max's power breakfast This is a delayed post on the Max's Power Breakfast which am sure other bloggers had already written about. While languishing in front of our computers, some of us were showered with a One-Day Gift Pass to spend on one dish of our choice at Max's which is famous in the Philippines for their crispy fried chicken. Since am a breakfast person, I couldn't let this one go and ordered for five free coupons from the publicist who was gracious enough to email and deliver the passes right to my doorstep. ...

So much about Krispy Dunkin’, Cello’s Doughnuts & Dips is heavenly..
Cello's doughnuts While munching on our yummy KK giveaways after the last BlogCon, Karla and Aaron clued me in on this great doughnut place found in the university towns of La Salle and Ateneo. I made a mental note to visit whenever I got anywhere near Vito Cruz and was glad to do so one sunny day. Certainly I didn't regret one bit munching on this doughnut brand - an all-Filipino concoction which could give Western donut chains a run, run,run for their money. I ordered two of the house bestsellers, the cheese and Oreo donuts with brewed coffee. The ... Continue Reading...
Merienda at Hizon’s and precious lessons my son has taught me
Hizon's - Manila We were supposed to go to the mall that weekend but realizing that I lost my wallet (after coming home groggy from my graveyard shift), I decided to tag along my son for a cozy date at Hizon's, the venerable bakeshop in Ermita. Actually, its real name is ZA's Cafe, but people seem to forget. We always associate Hizon's for the "best-tasting" ensaymada and the name has stuck since then. For one, the appellation best-tasting is subject to much contention; "pricey" and "overrated" is a better term in lieu of the advent of much superior ... Continue Reading...
Chaikofi: how much should you pay for “presentation?”
Chaikofi New chain chaikofi has got to have the best decorated interiors of a dining/coffee place in Manila today. Their just-opened express outlet at Robinsons Ermita stands out from the crowd because of its yellow motif and brightly-lit contemporary design. The back-to-back lounge seating evokes an American diner feel infused with the European touch (and rightly so, because one of the owners is Dutch). If you're looking for an alternative to good ol' Starbucks or Figaro, this is the place to go. At least you can hang out sipping your 100 peso designer ... Continue Reading...
