I can't wait for the opening of the new wing in SM Megamall called the Mega Fashion Hall which will house two of my favorites: clothing label H&M and (drum roll pls.) Tim Ho Wan, the dimsum specialists. The grapevine says this new Megamall wing will open on January 28, or before the Chinese New Year. With the arrival of foreign establishments (or franchises, whatever you like to call it), there seems to be less and less reason to fly out of Manila. Tim Ho Wan is a favorite pit stop in Hong Kong. Though they have several branches in the territory, I usually go to ... Continue Reading...

Here's another variation..cooked in olive oil, or what's commonly called bangus sardines. This is usually sold ... Continue Reading...
Peas and lentils are good for you!
Here's a beauty tip: lentils and all those legumes don't cause bloating if eaten by their lonesome so it's good to incorporate these in your diet.They are also packed with protein, fiber, anti-oxidants, calcium, and iron. Just make sure you don't suffer from gout or similar. Having heard of the benefits of these "superfoods," this is the reason why I went out of my way to attend a cooking demo attractively titled "Peas Be Unto You, and Lentils too!" at the Genting Star Tourism Academy in the Resorts World Manila Complex one Saturday before Christmas. The invite was ... Continue Reading...
