Buddha-Bar is a worldwide chain of restaurant-lounges. The Paris branch is probably the most well known. But checking out Buddha-Bar's website, I Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568171122168084726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532656854375031339.post-72556137967825778462012-06-20T15:59:00.000+08:002012-06-20T15:59:27.050+08:00Moshi Moshi in the heart of Katipunan AvenueKatipunan Avenue, the main street that bustles with cars and students on their way to Ateneo and UP, now houses another restaurant. Located on the 2nd floor of the new Regis Center (house to Fully Booked and other popular restaurants) you will find a Japanese restaurant called Moshi Moshi.
Moshi Moshi is owned and managed by a young lady entrepreneur, Jessica Cocabo, who happens to be one of my Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568171122168084726noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532656854375031339.post-81182019169583613512012-05-20T11:35:00.001+08:002012-05-20T11:44:39.275+08:00Archipelago 7107 by Barrio Fiesta at Il Terrazzo, Tomas MoratoI've been to Il Terrazo along Tomas Morato several times to take yoga classes but I had not really gone the rounds of the restaurants there save for one. So when Rowena invited me to try out the menu fare of Archipelago 7107, which happened to be just a level down from the yoga studio, I gladly agreed.
So a few Wednesday nights ago, right after a great yin yoga class, I joined the Food Club at Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568171122168084726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532656854375031339.post-72051851998694108512012-03-07T23:50:00.000+08:002012-03-07T23:50:43.965+08:00The Beauty of Raw"Eat your vegetables".
Yes, that was my Mom's mantra when I was growing up. It was a mantra I almost never heeded. I hated vegetables. But after beginning my yoga journey, I began to appreciate vegetables more and more. My body was actually looking for it.

In many readings, I learned that COOKING vegetables actually makes us lose a lot of the nutrients that we could Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568171122168084726noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532656854375031339.post-87405022571770315112012-02-11T21:27:00.002+08:002012-02-12T16:02:36.453+08:00Cafe de Bonifacio: A Revolutionary Filipino CuisineThere is a new restaurant that some blogger friends and I tried a few days ago -- Cafe de Bonifacio, located at the Podium.
Taking inspiration from their youthful days of activism, two friends (one with Molave and the other with Kabataang Makabayan) put up Cafe de Bonifacio. The restaurant's logo sports a sun which is very similar to the one found on Andres Bonifacio's personal flag.

Unlike other food outlets that you often find because it is visible and popular, Relik falls under the realm of "best-kept food hideaways".
If your type of decor is the homey-comfy, rustic type, you will take to Relik Tapas. Their cuisine is Spanish-Mediterranean comfort food consisting of Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568171122168084726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532656854375031339.post-3430615137203630722011-12-02T12:22:00.001+08:002011-12-02T13:09:24.184+08:00Recipes from San Miguel Great Food Club's Flavors of Christmas 2011At a recent event sponsored by San Miguel, called The Flavors of Christmas, I was able to get quite a few recipes from 2 chefs who were there.

Bloggers got a first crack at sampling Chili's bigger Deluxe Big Mouth Burgers. Chili's has been serving burgers already but this time, their new line of burgers said it all -- they were large enough for 2 people to share! Great for people like me with less-than-average appetite.
An added treat for the bloggers was a kitchen tour personally done by Chili's chef.
