During one of those rare times when am in faraway Quezon City, media colleague Jerry Liao proudly showed me the entrepreneurship project of his three kids CJ, Jam and Jaya. They've opened a stall named Oat Square in Tomas Morato which focuses on delicious oat-based drinks and food products. I immediately liked the logo. The first thing that crossed my mind was: glad it's not another milk tea joint! I like the whole concept of focusing on oats since as the owners say, oats are proven to prevent diabetes, high blood pressure and the build-up of cholesterol. Not to ... Continue Reading...
Village Tavern at BHS Central : thumbs up!
Village Tavern is the latest resto of the Bistro Group which is most famous for their Italianni's and Friday's. Since they serve American cuisine, expect hefty servings. Price is at an average of P500 per dish (or $10) but the portions satisfy and the food is good which is why we give it a thumbs up! The Maryland Crab Cakes (P495) are the best in town.

You can tell the resto didn't scrimp on the crab meat which is good news for those who ... Continue Reading...

Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo
Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, Manila - the heart of the Chinatown district - is definitely worth checking out. We went here on a holiday Monday (National Heroes Day) which made traffic light and bearable in this part of town. On ordinary days, the roads will probably be hard to navigate. Anyway, it's good that Megaworld decided to put up an upscale mall in Binondo to cater to the well-heeled Filipino-Chinese in the area and other consumers.It's about time! Prior to this, we've always known of Chinatown as the home of good food and the bargain shopping center of ... Continue Reading...
