I had my trepidation the first time I heard about The Cake Club. First, I thought it was so generic-sounding for a dessert place and held no appeal for someone like me who's trying to a) lose weight and b) avoid diabetes. I was certainly glad to find that the place offered more than desserts. Although you're highly encouraged to clinch your meal with a sweet, happy ending...more on that later.

Lady Gaga in Manila!

I attended (and enjoyed) Yummy Eats last year. This is the annual food fair organized by YUMMY Magazine of Summit Media. I never thought I'd be part of Yummy Eats 2012 - not as a guest but as a featured food concessionaire! As my friends know, I've opened my mini-restaurant at Caltex Better Living in the South of Manila a few months ago. The business has its ups and downs, but mostly it's my frustration at not being able to concentrate on the biz full-time (since am still part of the corporate jungle). Still, I welcome occasional gigs like Yummy Eats since it gives me ... Continue Reading...
