Bakersville Boulangerie and Patisserie Bagels

I believe in the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I never let my day start without ofcourse having breakfast. I grew up eating rice meal for my breakfast, with fruits. In other countries, they prefer bread for their breakfast such as Bagels. It’s a donut shaped bread, first boiled and then baked with chewy interior and crisp exterior. 

It was my Dad who bought my first bagel and after tasting the bread, I instantly liked it. Bagel comes in different flavours or and dough types. Bakersville Boulangerie & Patisserie is a new bakeshop that recently launched their Hand-Made Bagel line.

Crustacia Asian Bistro

I am a proud Asian and one of my favourite cuisines is a fusion of Asian dishes. I actually feasted in Crustacia before and they really serve the best buffet crabs and other Asian dishes, if I may say. I was so excited when I was invited for dinner in the newly renovated Crustacia Asian Bistro in Rockwell.

Crustacia Asian Bistro in Rockwell is newly renovated. You could clearly see the Asian feel from the lights to the chairs and almost everything about the ambiance in the place. The China inspired place is simple yet very artistic and modern; though the place looks elite you will feel comfortable because of the friendly staff and crew.

The Asian feel does not only start and end in the ambiance alone but more importantly on the menu! I became familiar with some of the dishes because I already went to Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau plus my Dad loves Indian food so I know some too. The food that was served was so overwhelming that after taking pictures I hurriedly ate the lot.

BenMore Scotch Whisky

Everybody loves to celebrate and celebration always comes with something to drink. I was invited to attend the launching of a new brand of Whisky that is sure to hit the bars. For some of you who still don’t know, Whisky or whiskey refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wooded casks (generally oak). Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, rye, wheat, and corn. I have tasted whisky before and I find it something not to consume on a daily basis, that’s just me. 

BenMore Four Casks Scotch Whisky is the newest whisky that is produced and distilled in Scotland; it is made by Diageo – a leader in the liquor industry. It is matured in four different types of oak casks to achieve depth and complexity to match the standards of whisky drinkers. 
 

The special selection of whiskies in BenMore Four Casks has been matured in four different types of oak casks namely, Sherry Casks, Bourbon Casks, Charred Casks, and Refill Casks. This deluxe Scotch whisky puts much attention to details in preparation and even in production.

Bizu - 10 years and more

I was invited to experience Paris in one night thru the Bizu blogger event last September 7, 2011. 

It was indeed a night to remember. French Cuisine is originated in Paris, France. The French Cuisine is also known to be European Dining; you will be served with multiple courses or meals. Paris is also known for pastries, the dessert and sweet treats that we enjoy. 

Pastries here in the Philippines are now achievable thru Bizu Patisserie. 

Bizu, which came from the French word Bisous meaning kiss or beso, has managed to change the pastry landscape in Manila as it introduced artisan cakes (unique, handmade, and delicately designed cakes) in personal sizes that are both appealing to the eye and the palate. It was the first patisserie to bring in cakes with modern flavors, textures and forms not yet known or experienced by many Filipinos.
