We were just in Manila staying in a hotel for the Easter break and am glad I finally found the time to try Ramen Daisho in Liberty Center along Shaw Blvd. Mandaluyong City. Way back in 2014, there was a list of Manila's best ramen restos drawn up by a Japanese and Ramen Daisho held the No. 2 spot. After tasting their offerings, I can very well say Daisho deserves its ranking. Too bad they're not so accessible location-wise, but maybe they will expand soon? My friends know it: am thrilled when I try something new: be it a place, some food or an experience. Ramen ... Continue Reading...
Hot spring resorts in Pansol, Laguna : Splash Mountain
It's been ages since I went to Pansol, Laguna! This place is famous for being the Hot Spring Resort Capital of the Philippines and its advantage is that it's very near Manila. One Sunday, I finally summoned the mood to drive down there since the kids always like playing in the water.Without traffic, one can reach Pansol in less than two hours. You know you've arrived when you see all these floaters and other water fun gear on the road. We didn't have any reservations. Gladly, one can take a pick from the assortment of resorts lining the highway. Our first stop ... Continue Reading...
Fish recipe for Lent : sinanglay
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...
