Mr. Ube Rice and Noodle House : It's Tikoy Time and More

Wazzup Pilipinas !

So who doesn't now Mr. Ube - Jerry Chua, the guy I often see promoting his well-loved "hopia" and "tikoy" business or more like a republic - Eng Bee Tin - Yes! Republic because that's how I think of it being so big a name, and being so popular.

Lately, his son is now hugging the limelight during presscons and interviews but still he remains the identity behind Eng Bee Tin.

Whenever there's a choice, I would always choose Eng Bee Tin brand for my "hopia" and "tikoy" products, and its not only during a Chinese New Year season. It's every time I visit the grocery or supermarket.

Eng Bee Tin is synonymous to quality "hopia" and "tikoy".

Now, there's a new restaurant in Binondo that's already making a name for itself - Mr. Ube Rice and Noodle House.

Larcy's Cupcakery Cafe is located at 178 Aguirre street in BF Homes, Paranaque. That's a bit too far for me because I live in Pasig City. But I happen to be coming from Binondo, Manila that day.

It was too late when I realized I was in for a long trip ahead.

But the long trip ceased to be a disappointment when I finally arrived at the place. It was "majestic" due to the lack of a more appropriate word to describe how remarkable the Larcy's Cupcakerycafe was. It was obviously crafted and designed by a creative mind and a heart full of love not only for Cupcakes - but also for the best things in life.

Journey Dreambook 2013 : Limited Keepsake Edition

Wazzup Pilipinas !

Check out this amazing journal they call the Journey Dreambook 2013.

Indeed, life is a journey....and we continuously search for our dreams as we struggle towards challenges and appreciate the success, and later reap the rewards of our efforts.

The best way to realize how lucky or unfortunate, at a moment, we were is to have our life written....and the best way to combat failures is to also plan ahead, and have an alternative or backup plan also. Plans that should be written in a journal as well. To help us face uncertainties better.

Wazzup Pilipinas ! Wintermelon is my favorite!

I Love Milk tea has the best tasting wintermelon flavor compared to other brands. Their Rock Salt Cheese Chocolate is equally good but if given a choice between the two I would still go for the Wintermelon flavor.

I have to agree to a colleague when she said milk tea shops are a dime a dozen. I was not available on that day the owner invited me to attend their grand launch so I asked a fellow blogger to attend it for me.

Here are a few lines from her review:

"In a stretch of road, you can see at least three stores and you’re spoilt for choice. When going out with friends, there’s always that argument about where you’re going to hang out given that everyone has a milk tea preference. You love cheese froth, your friend would rather indulge in a cupcake but your other friend would rather have regular milk tea. Decisions, decisions, but there’s a place that solves all of that.

The concept behind Cocina Juan got its inspiration from the owner's trip at Nicaragua. Nicaragua is the largest country in the Central American isthmus, bordering Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south.

At Cocina Juan, the staple sauce is chimichurri for meats like pork or chicken, and sofrito sauce for fish. The rest of Cocina Juan's menu is Tex-Mex, where they use a lot of sweet white sauce and cheese.

The restaurant is located at Maginhawa street at UP Teacher's Village Quezon City - unsurprisingly with a student price for its meals to make it affordable for the students.

Capitalife, Esquire and Buyacar.ph had a joint community outreach program a weeks ago for the benefits of the residents of Barangay Hagdang Bato Itaas in Mandaluyong. It was held at the Plaza Tatlong Bayani and attended by several mothers and their children.

The organizers had a feeding program, provided gifts, as well as sponsored some games with plenty of prizes for the children. There was even an ice cream vendor giving away ice cream to the children. Shirts bearing the Capitalife logo were also given away to both mothers and children.

Steaks are meant for VIPs and kings!

Its my way of rewarding myself for a job well done, or to celebrate a special occasion, or its what I serve my dearest loved ones and very special honorable guests. It's what I would order for a date especially if I was newly courting the girl.

If I want to impress, I would serve them a top-notch heavy and sumptuous steak meal. It always would feel like a grand celebration whenever steaks are served. It's of the highest level!

If you are around the Rockwell area, then better go visit Bistecca at the Joya building beside Rockwell Powerplant Mall in Makati. Here you are assured of the best premium or Certified Angus Beef (C.A.B.) steak meals.

Somewhere at the East Service Road of Paranaque lies Aryan's Restaurant and Bar. A Family business with a lot of heart with dishes that are surprisingly better than how it looks. I think it is nowhere near other similar restaurants within the vicinity (as I saw none along the way) making it the only ideal place where the neighborhood nearby can bring their family for some great home-made cooking.

Actually, the exact address is at 2152-A East service Road, Paranaque.....and since it was practically our first time to go there, we had to take a taxi so we won't get lost commuting. The address just needs some landmark instructions to help prospective guests on how to get there more conveniently aside from taking a cab.

My favorite dish was the Korean Beef BBQ topped with sesame seeds and the Fish Fillet one above (must eat it with all the topped ingredients to get the full flavorful taste of the dish).

A hefty hearty meal that is fit for the most exquisite taste and huge appetite. You will never taste Mexican food as good as these anywhere else. It's only at Achiote Taqueria located at Rockwell Powerplant Mall.

Tortillas has always been a favorite but the one served to us at Achiote Taqueria just really brought out an appetite out of me. It was completely done, with only the crumbs as left-over for the nachos, devoured until the very last bite. Thank goodness it was the very first dish we had, because the rest of the meals were equally a gastronomical delight.

Arrived safely via British Airways....nice service....great food

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, and the largest city, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.

London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area,governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

An alternative lifestyle is to indulge instead on healthy foods. Vegetables, fruits, root crops, - those that do not involve killing animals for their meat - and everything else organic and all natural with no preservatives.

Sugarleaf offers its customers the healthy option to dine and enjoy their meals with less the worries of getting fat or unhealthy - at a fraction more of the price. Truly, eating healthy foods cost a little bit more, but you are assured better health compared to dining with all that pork, beef, - and all that oily fatty foods that you can think of.

I had the opportunity to dine with friends and enjoy some of their healthy dishes as seen below:
