SM Aura Premier is my favorite among the SM concrete slabs in Metro Manila and there's no surprise there: it's their 'showcase' mall. It seemed only yesterday when we met Sarah Jessica Parker live for the Aura opening in May 2013 and time indeed flies so fast! One of SM Aura's pioneer establishments, COCA Restaurant, recently celebrated their first year anniversary. But instead of doing so with a bang, the resto chose to give back by partnering with the international non-profit Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y). This group is involved in giving less fortunate, educated ... Continue Reading...
Rambla in Rockwell : a taste of Barcelona in Manila
In my photo archives was that sublime experience I had dining in Las Flores at the Fort last year. Somehow I got too lazy and busy and never got to blog about it. Now that I dined in Las Flores' sister-restaurant Rambla last week, I will not let the opportunity pass. With no less than Spanish chef Pepe Lopez at the helm, I love how these two restos really made me appreciate authentic Spanish food in the heart of Manila! Rambla is presumably named after that street in Barcelona famous for its cafés and shops.For tapas, a must-try is the resto's interpretation ... Continue Reading...

12 Monkeys Music Hall & Pub is hot for live bands!
12 Monkeys Music Hall & Pub, on the 5th Level of the Century City Mall in Makati City, is now one of the hottest places in town where Manila's beautiful people, party goers and music lovers converge. Its greatest attraction is its lineup of DJs and live bands. Among those who have played in recent weeks were Up Dharma Down, Wolfgang, Rico Blanco & Kamikazee. I was at 12 Monkeys for the first time with some friends & acquaintances during the South Border gig last August 20 and thoroughly enjoyed it. South Border did some nice covers of present hits (like John ... Continue Reading...
Teddy’s Bigger Burgers lands in Manila!
As previously announced, Teddy's Bigger Burgers from Hawaii has opened in Manila...in Greenbelt 3, to be exact. There were long lines for the free burgers and lots of Instagram photos. I was excited to meet the founders - Rich Stula (right) and Teddy's himself, Ted Tsakiris - a big, muscular man..woohoo! :) First impressions: the burgers are awesome! I think it's in the quality of the beef - corn-fed chuck or something. You really get to appreciate the meat without all the frills and fancy toppings. Here was the 9 oz. Monster Double with onions and cheese as I ... Continue Reading...
