After another grueling week of handling online events, I finally took a long rest. I then checked my Facebook to see what’s up. It’s HoYoFest, MiHoYo’s special event for its fans in Southeast Asia. The Moon Rabbit Cafe in San Juan is the lucky restaurant to represent HoYoFest in the Philippines. I’ve seen and shared their posts on Facebook. What brought me to decide to have my lunch there is a post from a cosplayer I’m following. ...
…or, my Cafeterium /Kal·de·as/ experience It’s been long since I’m able to take pleasure in the fruits of my labor, and so I did it again — this time, I paid a group of mages to transport me to a different dimension. I had already paid my dues to the mages as soon as they announced the trip, and setting aside the delay because of the onslaught of Typhoon Ompong, I guess the wait was worth it. The good thing about paying the dues is that I don’t need to go to a local currency exchange as they accept local currency (Php 1 = 1 Quartz). ...
I stand corrected — make it 8 versions. I am currently at the 1st Pasig City Trade Fair which is held at Estancia at Capitol Commons, and part of the things I do (aside from overseeing if there will be any activity on stage) is to try out what Pasig has to offer. Just a few hours ago, I conducted a fireside chat with the Pasigueno businessmen, and I had fun talking to them about doing business on social media, as well as promoting businesses. ...
Last week was a busy and a happy one for me — me and Ma were given an opportunity to bond together overnight at the Mall of Asia Complex, where I gave her a taste of Indonesia through a dessert served at the World Street Food Congress located at the Concert Grounds. The Congress has set up three huge tents (plus one for the dialogue), filled with food stalls which are cooking amazing food from different parts of the country and the rest of the world. ...
21 West Capitol Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig City — open from 11 AM to 2 PM, and 5:30 PM to 10 PM Barangay Kapitolyo in Pasig is the home to Gastro Park and a lot of restaurants where those who want to wind down after a week of work can do so through food. There’s this resto called Haru located at 21 West Capitol Drive, just a few walks away from where I work. I always see it on my left as I pass by. ...
Hi guys! I was able to get to Madrid Fusion Manila 2017 (or we can just call it as “Fusion Manila,” as per the invite) at the SMX Manila in Pasay City last Saturday. First, I’ll be showing you a lot of pics; then I’ll give some bullet points about this year’s event. There’s this gelato shop called “Manila Creamery” (they have a branch at the UP Town Center)which serves Burnt rice gelato (as in “Tinutong na Kanin”). I promised them I’ll go there to eat a full scoop. Sweetened cacoo nibs from Sikwate! are the best — I think the name is familiar to me though. My favorite Mindanaoan snack/bread Bulua is also visible in the Expo! Nestle Food Services is generous with its offerings — too bad I was only able to get a sample of their soft-serve concoction. There are other exhibits outside the Expo — there’s this Coconut Chips in salted and sweetened variations that are perfect for dressing desserts (or just plain snacking). What I like about the Expo is that I am able to taste a lot — no bullcrap, it’s like I went there for a grandiose merienda. Maybe the event’s not as grandiose unlike last year, but it’s still grandiose. Still looking forward to the next offering. Disclaimer: I got the invite from my boss who is managing the event’s security, same as last year’s. Many thanks, boss!
While I was on my duty for the Digital TV Summit for both the advocacy organization DTV Pilipinas and my company, I decided to give the org’s co-founder Kyle a visit. They had this family business called The Ketchup Club which serves hamburgers and milkshakes in a 70’s style environment. TKC’s highlight offering include their unlimited fries (additional purchase required), but I opted for their ₱50 burger a la carte, and it tasted good. I got treated to a carbonara and it tasted great as well. ...
Unlimited tea… and rice? Yes, rice. T‘was a Saturday night and I just came from Davao to check out the Denki Megatech Convention at the Philippine Trade and Training Center in Pasay, only to step inside before 6pm and found out that the event ended way too early. What did I do next? I hang out with my friends at AniZone and they introduced me to this restaurant called Ooma at the Bonifacio Global City. ...
#Back2Eating presents a new sushi hangout at the new Ayala Malls the 30th in Meralco Ave., Pasig I capped off the night by crashing in Chad’s (Reimaru Files) company at the new Ayala Malls the 30th in Meralco Avenue, Pasig for some delicious sushi at Genki Sushi. They deliver the food through carts (a la shinkansen), and the staff are there to make sushi, pick up the dishes on the table or assist in billing or what not. ...
Delicious breakfast and lunch, yes? Cebu has its share of local restaurants — some of them include Orange Brutus and Jonie’s. Here’s my first impressions of the meals I ate: Orange Brutus SM Cebu has just opened its doors this morning. I was asked by my workmate where we can eat for breakfast, to which I said that we won’t go to Jollibee because I have eaten their meals for days. Then I stumbled upon Orange Brutus. ...
