Phat Wong Asian Cafe on Nicanor Garcia St. in Bel-Air, Makati has been on my list of must-try restaurants. This is the reason why we found ourselves here on a rainy Thursday to catch the last day of a Deal Grocer promotion: only P150 for P300 worth of food in Chef Ariel Manuel's Asian-themed eatery (he's more known for fine dining at Lolo Dad's). Frankly, I thought my coupon would only get me as far as ordering one appetizer, but this was not the case. There were a lot of reasonably-priced items which makes this place great for snacking, especially when you find ... Continue Reading...
Postscript to Yummy Eats 2012: thanks for visiting our booth!
The Chicken Delish kitchen was up to a ginormous challenge for Yummy Eats 2012 (held recently in Rockwell Tent): prepare food for 1,200 people. For a fledgling food purveyor like us, I thought at first that this was something that couldn't be done but my philosophy eventually turned out to be "just go with it!" It was certainly a great consolation to see our name up there in this marker - It didn't matter that I worked the graveyard shift the night before and was sleepless for 38 hours by the time the event finished at 9 pm. Participating in a major food ... Continue Reading...
Marshall headphones review
You could say one of the perks of being a blogger is being able to test out a few stuff (and in some cases, we get to keep them). I am able to know some products which I am not able to get acquainted with otherwise. Case in point are these Marshall headphones which landed in my lap recently. It was a case of like at first sight because it looked so well made and not cheap-looking at all (also, not cheap at a retail price of P4,650) . Plus I like the color white when it's beautifully made like this... There's a logo emblazoned with the word Marshall at the inner ... Continue Reading...
Corona conviction : senators vote 20-3 for guilty verdict
Like any normal citizen, I've been following developments in the Corona impeachment trial. Today was extra special because I actually exerted an effort to stay glued to the TV set to hear each senator (sitting as judge) deliver their explanation on why they chose to convict or acquit Chief Justice Renato Corona for violation of Article 2 (failure to fully disclose his assets in his SALN). And so it went that Miriam went ballistic, Villar waxed sentimental about the accusations thrown against him before and Lito Lapid admitted not knowing much about the law while ...

Samsung Galaxy S3 launched in Manila
Samsung Philippines launched last night its super smartphone Galaxy S3 at the NBC Tent in Bonifacio Global City . I've already discussed before some of its features but just to give you an idea of its pricing, unlocked units will be sold at P32, 990 ( cheaper if bought in the gray market). Smart telecoms will offer the unit for free with Smart Unli Data Plan 2000 while for Globe, the Galaxy S3 is free with UnliSurf Plan 2499. Photo shows my old Galaxy S2 (left) with the new Galaxy S3 (in white). There's not much difference in size but the functions and ... Continue Reading...
