Wazzup Pilipinas!

The cool contemporary and smooth jazz sounds of Spyro Gyra, George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Incognito and top jazz artistes are now reverberating at Bintan Lagoon Resort in a new brunch setting of luxe dishes paired with top champagnes and wines by the beach.

Staged at Nelayan Beachfront Restaurant, the Resort’s signature dining outlet, the Saturday Jazz Brunch features a sumptuous range of dishes orchestrated by Nelayan Chef M Rafi, Senior Executive Sous Chef Adli Nizam and Resort Manager Suhairi Idris. Boasting stunning views of the South China Sea and a relaxing island ambience, the Jazzy Saturday Brunch promises chilled out vibes for an idyllic Saturday away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

“The amalgamation of a spectacular display of food and smooth jazz music with a backdrop of the cool colours and breeze from our beach is an absolute refreshing indulgence – there is no better way to start the weekend off in just an hour away from Singapore on our very own direct ferry. Guests can come in for the day or stay the night,” remarks Mr Gerald A. Hendrick, Senior Vice President of Resort Venture and General Manager of Bintan Lagoon Resort.

The brunch features gourmet dishes such as Steak Tartare, Butter Shoyu Grilled Scallop with Salsa Verde, chilled fresh seafood and sushi, seasonal cheese, Lobster Bisque, an Egg Station, artisanal breads, Slow Roasted Prime Beef Rossini & Seared Foie Gras, Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, Hyderabadi Briyani of Duck, local Bintan delights such as Laksa Lemak Ikan Tengiri, Beef Rendang, Prawns & Quail Egg Sambal, a Waffle Station and more.

Each course/dish will be delicately matched with champagne and wines from well-known wine regions such as France, Australia and Italy. The resident Orlin Band will be getting toes tapping and bodies swinging to its lively repertoire of well-known jazz hits. Plans are in the pipeline to showcase guest jazz talents as well.

Make Your Own Cafe Opens First Branch in Quezon.City

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I just came from the grand opening of Make Your Own Cafe located at Mayon street in Quezon City. The supposedly first branch of this new cafe brand is just right infront of the Suki Market.

Make Your Own or MYO Cafe offers "unli-sinkers" , including home-made pearls, on their milk teas, plus other drinks like coffee, blended ice, fruit teas, cheese + teas, fizzy pops, and a variety of snacks from cheesy nachos to deep-fried favorites like flavored fries, twister fries, wedges, chicken poppers, and also an assortment of cakes and muffins.

I've learned that the pearls only last a day when cooked and around 3 days when uncooked thus you are assured that they do serve freshly-made pearls for their milk teas.

Conveniently located just infront of busy Suki Market, its "industrial" theme could attract most people especially the Millennials like students or young entrepreneurs looking for an alternative place to hang-out, work on their studies or innovative projects, while enjoying good food and drinks at affordable prices.

True enough, one customer even ordered 20 milk teas on opening day, and almost all their muffins were sold out too. An indication that the owners picked the right place to setup business...or they picked the rigyt products to sell. In any case, if we are to base it on.my own experience, my wife and I would always eat and drink after going to the market, and milk teas are among my favorite drinks, so it could mean they did a very good product and location study.

Free Wi-Fi Internet coming up hopefully soon as it is an integral necessity needed for research and keeping always well-connected and informed nowadays.

Michael Tan, the co-owner, shared that this is just the first of their 10-branch target for the year...and that the brand is open for franchise opportunities too. 3 branches already eyed soon including one in UST. Alam na mga Tomasians!

Check them out soon and compare the taste of their drinks and snacks with the other brands. You might find your new favorites here.

More information coming up soon at Wazzup Pilipinas Facebook page.
