MANDARIN SKY OPENS IN MARKET! MARKET!




A QC Legend has now opened in Taguig! 

The popular Chinese restaurant, "Mandarin Sky" has opened a new branch in Market! Market! Unlike the main branch in Quezon city, the Market Market branch doesn't feature the fresh seafood in tanks, hence the "Express" monicker.. however the menu is pretty much the same lineup of dishes that made them famous! 

Joining me were fellow YouTubers:

FILIPINOS FIRST TIME AT SONIC DRIVE IN!




During my trip to Los Angeles last year, my Niece Cara and I made a food run to the nearest Sonic Drive in so we could experience a good old fashioned American Drive In.

The nearest branch to where we were staying was at Mission Viejo, and we decided to shoot a short video while we were there, as we tried our respective burgers.

Can't wait to go back!

MASARAP NGA AT NOVOTEL MANILA ARANETA CENTER




Internet Superstar "Masarap Ba?" is currently holding (as of April 1) a "Meet and Eat" food Festival at Novotel Manila Araneta Center, featuring dishes created by products endorsed on the wildly popular Instagram account!

The Buffet, held at Food Exchange, is an amazing collaboration by Masarap Ba, and Novotel, and allows previously unknown online purveyors to gain a wider audience for their products, that in some cases, are even better than their Mainstream contemporaries. 

I couldn't wait to give the buffet a try, and all I could say afterwards was indeed... MASARAP NGA!!!

Here are some IG links to the purveyors that took part in the Masarap Nga Event:

THE CHOICE 2019!





THE CHOICE 2019
Our Awesome Planet and The KTG presents The Choice!!!


The Choice Year V

We’re now in a Golden Age of Philippine Restaurants and Hotels that we’ve never experienced before.


In the first six months of this year alone, over 500 new restaurants opened … and that’s only all over Metro Manila! The construction boom in hotels and resorts all over the country is likewise accelerating at a rapid pace.


Every month, every week, and almost every day it seems, there's a new restaurant opening its doors. There are a lot of great new dining choices, side by side with the perennials, the classics that we grew up with.  As food bloggers, writers, and members of the F&B industry, we're always very curious about the crowd favorites. The popular vote, if you will.  What are the beloved favorites? Let the voice of the people be heard!


Our Awesome Planet, the country’s #1 food blog and one of the Top 50 travel blogs in the world;  and the Food Writer and Blogger Collective known as the KTG (Kain Tulog Gang); together with the prestigious World Food Expo (WOFEX), The Ultimate Food Show Experience, have partnered to conduct the People's Choice for the Favorite Food, Restaurants, Hotels, and Chefs …. Or simply, “The Choice”.


About The Choice
Since our first ceremony in 2015, The Choice Awards have become more influential every year, and are now considered to be the most prestigious People’s Choice Honors in the F&B Industry. Through the first four years, we have celebrated the Best of the Best, and have elevated the most beloved restaurants to the Hall of Fame after winning their category three times. This year, we celebrate our landmark Year V!
We conducted an intense first round of voting among ourselves, and our resulting Finalist Lists have made us very pleased:  we feel it's a very diverse and fair representation of all our favorites from many diverse categories.

2. There are 45 questions in this survey, and answering this survey should take only around 10-15 minutes. It is best to give a definitive answer to each question, but feel free to skip if you can't decide.

3. All answers are considered final once you click on the submit button.

4. Strictly one completed survey will be counted for each person voting.

5. Please provide us your name and email address for our random validation of the survey responses; rest assure that all information submitted will be kept confidential.

SHAKE SHACK OPENS IN THE PHILIPPINES






After a highly anticipated wait, Shake Shack is finally scheduled to open its doors to the Philippine public on May 10, 2019! I was very fortunate to be invited to a closed door sneak peek of what Shake Shack Philippines has to offer, and truthfully, I was even more impressed with it than I was when I visited it in Hong Kong last December! The Shack Burger was excellent, and the 'Shroom Burger was a revelation! Also nice to catch up with my friends, Chuckie Dreyfus and his lovely wife Yen, and I got to see the gorgeous Joyce Pring again!
