It seems that mass-based Android-powered tablets are coming to our doorsteps this Christmas. Torque, one of our blog sponsors from before, has just released their tablet called Droidz View at an affordable price of P4,999. It boasts of wifi, a 7-inch screen, Android version 2.2 (Froyo) and 800MHZ CPU + 400MHZ DSP processor power. I think this is all ideal for someone like me who has young children. We get to introduce tablet technology without burning a hole in our pockets (if only the kids stopped wasting time on facebook too!) Photo from Torque's Facebook ... Continue Reading...
Mama’s Bar & Restaurant Boracay: the largest servings this side of Phili …
And by Phili I meant Philippines. The mouthwatering Philly cheesesteaks at The Cheese Steak Shop in Manila is another thing :). Anyway, when in Boracay, I recommend you try Mama's Bar, Restaurant & Chillout Lounge. Located in the area called Yapak, it's a little out of the way from the mainstream restos of White Beach but worth the penny if you're hankering for good sausages and great German food. This little dive is currently listed as the No. 1 restaurant in Boracay in Trip Advisor, the top travel review website by independent travellers (where am a senior ... Continue Reading...
Hanaichi Japanese restaurant @ Fort Bonifacio
Unlike other districts in Manila like Makati or Malate, there aren't too many Japanese restaurants yet in the Bonifacio Global City. That's why we happily tried Hanaichi at this condotel called The Luxe Residences on 28th street corner 4th Avenue. I felt something familiar about the place the first time I stepped there. And then I remembered that this was where the short-lived Spasso Italian Wine & Tapas Bar used to be. The sight of young Japanese women dining on the night of our visit warmed me up to the place. It establishes trust when I know, for ... Continue Reading...
Achiote Taqueria, Rockwell : Mexican food in Manila
Achiote Taqueria by Chef Robby Goco of Cyma Restaurant fame has opened in Rockwell Powerplant Mall beside Mamou Too! Chef Robby was with Ristras during its heyday until he bailed out.With this new food stop, his concept is to serve hefty Mexican fare with healthy ingredients. For example, the organic vegetables & naturally raised pork are sourced from Costales Nature Farm, free range chicken from Magnolia and kitayama Wagyu beef from Bukidnon. The resto is homey enough and there's an open kitchen for diners to see what's going on. Be warned though that the place is ... Continue Reading...
Pacquiao wins vs Marquez for the 3rd time
Surprisingly, Filipinos have mixed feelings about Manny Pacquiao's win against Juan Manuel Marquez in their historic Nov. 12 bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It wasn't a knockout but Pacquiao was proclaimed the WBO welterweight champion based on judges' decision. Scores were at 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112, in favor of Pacquiao. In reality, some of my Facebook buddies thought Marquez played the better game, except for Round 12 where he appeared to have slowed down. Our friend Spanky called it an unconvincing win while others branded it "lutong Macau." Some ... Continue Reading...
