Watami now in the Philippines!
Note: The first branch of this popular international Japanese casual restaurant chain is at the Mall of Asia. Kudos to the Bistro group (TGI Friday's, Italianni's etc.) for bringing Watami to Manila and the Philippines. First impressions: lots of items to choose from in the menu, food is good, prices are affordable and service is quick. Ambiance is modern industrial and I love the couch seating. I dig the fact that they have a half serving of their in-house Watami Salad at P220 which already looks like a full serving to me. This salad can be a meal in itself ... Continue Reading...
Team O: what a year!
Finally, they're in one roof. After being apprised of their exciting activities by Bridges PR, we were really excited to meet the affable members of Oishi's Team O together.

A few months ago, I got the chance to review the dual-SIM Nokia Asha 202 phone and I had fun trying out some of the applications. The Finnish brand is still one of the best there is for ease of use and the same holds true when you access their modern smartphones for games, information and the like. Here are the top (read:favorite) apps I used in the Nokia: MMDA or the Metro Manila Development Authority app (Rating: 5/5) What can I say. ... Continue Reading...
at Va Bene Pasta Deli on a Sunday
I have my list of restaurants to try before the end of 2012 and one of them is Va Bene Pasta Deli. Their location in Petron Gas Station EDSA beside the Dasmarinas Village Gate in Makati looks like a good place to hang out since they are beside notable bakers Cuerva Bakeshop, San Lo's Famous and Karen's Kitchen.Too many outstanding choices in one roof, too little time! Va Bene it is, even though we already ate brunch in Aida's Manokan. I wanted to see what makes the place so raved by foodies. True enough, the small place was packed and we had to wait for our turn. ... Continue Reading...
