Meeting HGTV’s Property Brothers in Manila

These have been buried in my album for a year.

Throwback to the day HGTV brought the Property Brothers to Manila.

Scripps’ MD Derek: “Jane closed the HGTV deal in the Philippines. She made it happen.”

Twin bros Jonathan and Drew suddenly and simultaneously just motioned to land one on my cheek.

Janey: “Hey, can we take a decent one please?  My mom is strict.”

(Laughter)

Snap.

I was just all smiles.

A balance of spicy and savory, each bite of Kimchi Gyoza is crunchy, meaty, and definitely tasty.

Another surefire crowd favorite is the Curry Gyoza (220. 00 for 6 pieces, 410.00 for 12 pieces) which will have you craving for more!

Go Mad for Wagyu at EDSA Shangri-La’s HEAT

Christmas season is always a wonderful time, whether it was spent abundantly or very simply, it’s always a joyous celebration.  Outside Christmas, one merry memorable time I had in December was at HEAT of EDSA Shangri-La, Manila’s signature buffet restaurant.  I can go start with how much I enjoy going to HEAT as it has one of the best, most varied and well-executed selections when it comes to buffet, without overly compounding your choices, but the title is a dead giveaway since you all very well know that nothing can make my blood boil in excitement other than Wagyu.  Don’t get me whipping my hip and singing now, “I want nobody nobody, Wagyu!  I want nobody nobody, Wagyu!”

Every Saturday dinner this mind-blowing and successful 2016 (I’m already claiming it!), REVEL in an all-new bounty of unlimited high grade wagyu beef at HEAT.

Apart from your usual suspects, which is to me my favorite stations and dishes I keep pestering with my frequent returns, they have studded the collection with unique creations from five specialty chefs in a Wagyu medley.

I went ballistic with how HEAT has upped the ante this time around.

At the Carvery

Wagyu Tomahawk &

Wagyu Ribeye

Classic Yorkshire, Ratatouille Casserole, Port and Thyme Jus

Creamed Corn and Garlic Mashed Potato

Philly Steak Sandwich

Mini Wagyu Sliders, Fried Egg, Bacon and Cornichons

Wagyu Beef Pie (Shepherd’s Pie)

Wagyu Beef Chili Con Carne

Wagyu Beef Goulash

I went back thrice at the carving station to get at least three medium thick slices of Wagyu Tomahawk and Wagyu Ribeye each visit, which were seared very quickly and slid onto my plate.

This whole concept was also well-thought out with a wall of sauces available to you for your ‘Mad as a Hatter’ liking.  I wanted to try quite a number but got smitten with the honey truffle mustard. Mmm-mm!

That Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek rendered chewing almost unnecessary, with chunks seeped in distinct punch of spices and ever slight sweetness and the toasty berry mocha taste of the red wine sauce emboldens its beefiness.  It was utterly delicious.  I couldn’t help but go back for a second helping.

Tis the Season to be at Hotel Jen Manila

 

People often ask, “Can you recommend a good hotel?”  My go to answer will always be any of the Shangri-La group of hotels.  Hong Kong-based Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd. manages a new genre of hotels called Hotel Jen.

A friend of mine was in Singapore a couple of weeks ago to watch the Taylor Swift concert there with her daughter.  They stayed at Hotel Jen in Singapore and we exchanged notes as I shared with her that I spent last weekend at Hotel Jen in Manila.

Hotel Jen is a diverse collection of hotels in the best locations across Asia Pacific, with a unique brand of style and service delivery designed to appeal to a new “Jen-eration” of travelers.  Hotel Jen is the transformation of Shangri-La’s Traders Hotels.  Since these hotels have opened, it’s been offering fresh, friendly and fuss-free intuitive service to independently minded business and leisure travelers.

Michael Velasco at Mario’s

One of Manila’s most acclaimed fine dining restaurants, Mario’s has earned an impeccable reputation for great food and professional service.  The dining room to the right is bright and intimate with plush banquettes, comfortable chairs, contemporary accents and a touch of class, which is what this place is all about.

 

Everything is made in-house including the dressing for their Caesar Salad made fresh and tableside.  I’ve been visiting Mario’s more frequently lately as I’ve been holding business lunch meetings here every now and then since my office has moved to the ABS-CBN grounds mid this year.  Service is always friendly and efficient at Mario’s by their long-standing waitstaff who has been with them for decades.

Mario’s Celebrates its 40th Year 

Classic Twist of Taste at Mario’s 

 

Mario’s offers fine food in comfortable surroundings where I’m sure to have a great meal and always a good time.  Last Wednesday night, during the APEC holiday, I visited Mario’s for an agenda outside the usual.  From 10th of November until the 4th of December 2015, Michael Velasco’s art will be displayed at the restaurant for their clientele’s appreciation and prospective acquisition.

 

Painter, muralist, and portraitist Michael Velasco has long held a strong fascination for the female form.  His works – mostly featuring women as embodiments of grace, elegance, and humanity – are improvisations of the Modernist and Classicist idioms.  In this series, Michael Velasco further elaborates on his fascination for the female figure finding inspiration in the work of a plethora of past and present masters like Waterhouse, Klimt, Sargeant, Bougereau, Degas, Whistler Stwart, Juan Luna, Jeremy Lipking, Daniel Greene and Scott Burdick.

Ho Lee Fook

 

Ricky Ow of Turner is one hella food connoisseur (I owe him my 2-Michelin Star Nobu experience some 3 years ago which really blew my mind and I was almost in happy tears while eating).  When we were having a lunch meeting at Vask mid this year, he gave me a short list of his recommendations for new Hong Kong discoveries.  When he said Ho Lee Fook, I had to look at his face to make sure he didn’t give that exclamation at the sight of my appetite.  It was in fact the name of the restaurant.  Cheeky eh?

The actual translation is “good fortune for your mouth.”  During a business trip in Hong Kong last month, I couldn’t pass the chance to dine there.  Alan and James were both game to look for the place and as luck would always be on my side, we didn’t have to queue long (probably 10 minutes tops) even if we didn’t have any table reservation.

Ho Lee Fook’s busy open kitchen decorated with mah-jong as counter tiles welcomes your arrival.  On the right, a wall of gold cats wave at you forever.  A big beautiful peacock reveals a staircase that leads you underground to the restaurant.  It’s a collaboration of the old and new… say, imagine a posh part of Chinatown in New York in the 1950s or 60s, it’s quite dark, designed mostly with black furniture, stone walls, a dragon mural, a lighted mural of an old man and a backdrop of beer bottles.

Mr. Graham’s Sandwich Shop

 

Dave (DYoung) and I headed out for lunch sometime August and he brought me to this quaint little sandwich shop beside the F7 building in Scout Rallos.  He was mindful that I was trying to avoid rice and suggested that sandwiches were just the perfect alternate eating route.  Dave ordered two sandwiches which we split between the two of us.  Every sandwich comes with Crisps and Coleslaw, or soup for Four Cheese sandwich meal, which Dave surrendered to me.  I enjoyed lunch that day and a few days ago, decided to bring dee boss JAD to try the restaurant.

This is Mr. Graham’s local take on the “Cubano” which was popularized by the Chef movie.  It’s Cebuano since they use thinly sliced lechon as the highlight basted on its own glistening drippings and slapped with ham and cheddar cheese on authentic pan Cubano smeared with the house aioli.  Don’t be surprised to hear a crunch since they added the lechon skin for good measure.  It’s so rich and savory but balanced by the sweetness and acidity of the pickled green and yellow mangoes.

The first time was awesome but I wished there were more burnt cheese on the bread the second time around.  I was looking for those nice little, almost quiet, crunches on the side when you bite into the sandwich and sharper saltier taste that contrasts with the delicious semi-sweet onion bacon jam.

APEC Traffic Advisory in Metro Manila

Due to the APEC event this week please be advised of the below mentioned traffic disruptions:


Traffic

Aside from the closure of Roxas Blvd, travelers, residents and businesses can expect widespread disruption and delays along all major thoroughfares and at all major transportation hubs across Metro Manila. Most of the security measures and changes in traffic patterns will be concentrated in the cities of Pasay, Paranaque and Manila.

From November 15-20, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will implement a “stop-and-go” scheme for official motorcades, which essentially means that all traffic will come to a halt until the VIPs pass. This scheme applies to parts of EDSA, Roxas Blvd, Skyway and SLEX, as well as roads around Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

The MMDA has announced the following traffic schemes for the week of the event:

  • The innermost lanes of EDSA in each direction – two northbound and two southbound – will be reserved for APEC delegates. These APEC lanes extend from Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City to the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
  • The southbound lane of Roxas Boulevard will also be reserved for APEC dignitaries, while one of the northbound lanes will become a two-way thoroughfare for other motorists.
  • Roads surrounding PICC will be closed, including Bukaneg St, Vicente Sotto St., Buendia Ext, M. Jalandoni St. and J.W. Diokno Blvd Bridge.
  • Clients can expect congestion on roads surrounding major hotels in Manila, Pasay City, Makati and Bonifacio Global City.


Flights

Officials at Manila International Airport Authority say travelers can expect a considerable number of flight cancellations of domestic and international flights during APEC. The tightest security of course will be at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport and the adjacent Villamor Airbase. No-fly zones will be in effect from November 17-20 across the city, particularly airspace in the vicinity of NAIA and PICC.

ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE500KL with 8-Megapixel Camera and Laser Auto Focus System

Last year, I reviewed ASUS ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5 on this space and it was only 1-2GB RAM then.  Earlier this year, ASUS created a trend in the market releasing the first smartphone in the world equipped with 4GB of RAM and we just went a little bonkers.

ASUS Launches the EEE pad

The time to unbox dawned upon us once again.  This time, we are unboxing the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser.

The ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser is incredibly thin measuring only 3.9mm but offers an ergonomic design that gives a good grip on my hand.  I’d probably describe this as “the feels,” which the youth these days refer more to “emotions.”  The curved back helps the grip and my small index finger can naturally adjust the volume without any strain and serve as my selfie key.  Its trademark concentric circle design with spin pitch of only 0.13mm complements the hairline metallic finish in the back cover.  I have an iPhone 6 and if not for the pseudo-leather cover, I would’ve probably dropped my phone easily many times due to the flat and slippery surface.

After the “feels,” I would normally wipe the screen since my fingerprints would be all over it.  ZenFone 2 Laser has a 20nm anti-fingerprints layer on its cover glass which makes sliding and swiping the phone prints-free!  Other than the special coating, ASUS ZenFone 2 has TruVivid Technology that only needs 2 layers of the sensor glass and air gap which minimizes the reflection on your screen and maximizes clarity and brightness.

“Oooh mama!,” exclaimed by someone excitable.  That excited, jumping person happens to be me.  I’d be highly strung if we are talking about Ooma in this case.  People have anticipated the opening of Ooma restaurant since it’s the second partnership between two geniuses, Bruce Ricketts and The Moment Group.  The first one, a favorite of mine as well, is Mecha Uma.

Ooma is a play on the Japanese word “umai” which translates to good.  At Ooma, they take good seriously.  But not too serious that you take the fun and warm comfort out of it.  Like most Moment Group restaurants, Ooma is hip and almost avant-garde… always in the trail of something new, bold and flavorful.

I missed going during their media invite as I was traveling in July but glad to go on a personal visit where it will be more relaxed.  I tried to have dinner twice (once with Merry and another one with Dave) but the queue was super long that I ended up eating at Lugang Cafe during both missed opportunity.  Finally, early September, somebody was able to reserve seats.  I couldn’t sit still all day, excited for dinner.

Aburi, meaning to burn something, is a traditional Japanese method of blowtorch, direct flame to burn.  It can be destructive or tame and the art of aburi brings out amazing things – a different flavor and an enticing aroma that fills the entire place.  An Ooma signature dish, the Aburi Maki list includes a full range of the best ingredients including top shelf delights such as hamachi, uni, scallops, and soft shell crab.

Ooma’s Scallop and Tuna Aburi Maki is also a favorite of mine.  Love the taste of burnt something in my mouth, deeply smoky, faintly bitter and indistinctly sweet.  Ooma provides a jar of soy sauce with a brush to lightly brush your maki with.  It’s probably good training for folks not to dip their maki and overly doused it in sauce.

The Comfort of Kuya J Now in Manila

Hailing from Cebu, Kuya J restaurant’s success is now penetrating the Manila scene evidenced by its sixteenth branch opening in SM Megamall. The formal launch happened last Monday, September 14, 2015, dinner time, witnessed by its executives, crew and radio, TV and online celebrities gracing the event.

Interior design at Kuya J is clean, handsome, spacious and modern. Tables and comfortable seats can accommodate small groups as well as larger groups for family gatherings, or dining out with friends and colleagues. The branch in Megamall also has a private room for corporate meetings and celebrations.

Among their signature dishes are Kare-Kare, Beef Caldereta, Pochero Bulalo Tagalog, Lechon Kawali, grilled meats, and one thing their celebrity endorser, Jericho Rosales, cannot get enough of, Crispy Pata. Kuya J offers traditional Filipino cuisine, a treat we know and appreciate, and at an accessible price.

Speaking of Jericho Rosales, check him out below excited to share about Kuya J:

 

 

On the Table

Chorizo Dinamitas Php 170

Green chilies deseeded and filled with Cebuano chorizo, cheddar cheese, and carefully wrapped in light pastry and deep fried. This app is served with garlic mayo dip.

Pick one up and hear the opening crunch as your teeth sink into it, where the heat slowly lingers in your mouth like a lover not wanting to let go. The creamy cheese bursts from the inside like it’s been waiting for the right trigger to explode. The stuffing inside is incredible, swinging salt and sweet from the Cebuano chorizo. That spicy kick is manageable but if it’s too hot to handle, the garlic mayo dip cools down the rage and cuddles your tongue with garlicky creamy affection.

Mama Empanada

The empanada yo momma doesn’t know about.  Okay, she does know about it.  She should.  Mama knows best and Mama Empanada could just very well be the best empanadas I’ve tried in Manila.

One is definitely not enough.  I am talking about a box right.  Because there’s no question that one piece just won’t cut it.  One box ain’t enough.  I could finish all twelve glorious golden pieces, its crust beautifully baked to a nice gentle crunch.  And inside that crisp outer dome, softness gushes from within this pastry.

Swift Premium Corned Beef, Cured and Slow-Cooked

Swift Premium unveils the philosophy behind slow-cooking… #mmmTakesTime.  Swift Premium Corned Beef was slow cooked to get that fork-pulling tenderness.

Swift Premium invited an exclusive and eclectic mix of foodies and lifestyle bloggers to Pio’s Kitchen on July 28, 2015.  In this intimate gathering, bloggers discovered the slow-cooked flavor of Swift Premium Corned Beef.

After brief welcome remarks, dinner was promptly served.

San Marino Premium Spanish Sardines

“Me athes una foto por favor.”  I asked my Spanish friend Merry to teach me some Spanish words to help me get by during my Spain trip during my most recent Spain trip.  Like, “La cuenta por favor” means you’re asking for the cheque.  “Tu ta bien?” means everything is good?  “Quanto cuesta” means how much, if you’re going around shopping.  More importantly, especially if you’re traveling alone, one thing you should know how to say is, “can you please take my photo?”

That Spain trip was truly memorable.  Other than it close to being an impulse, I was able to visit Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca and Valladolid.  I even kind of crashed a traditional wedding in Salamanca.  There are many things to like about Spain.  Their food was really awesome, from tapas or their little plates of dishes to callos, bacalao, paella, pulpo con gallega, and my simplest yet yummy discovery there, pimientos de padron.  One thing though that really reminds me of Spain even when I was a young kid is what has become almost domestic to Filipinos, and part of our everyday consumption, is Spanish Sardines.
