Eats Asia 3: Thrice as Delish

  

Everybody loves to eat, but not everybody can cook, like me. Good thing there are cookbooks, recipe books, and cooking TV shows. Good thing there is Asian Food Channel, the region’s first 24-hour food channel dedicated to airing the best food and lifestyle programming from around the region and the world. 

I was invited to attend an event that showcases the best in Asian Food fare and feast in Avenue Hall, Makati last August 13, 2011. 

Eats Asia 3: Thrice as Delish is an annual event and this year is hosted by Asian Food Channel and is partnered by country's # 1 cable provider, SKY Cable.

Cold Rock in Greenbelt

After Angel and I attended an event courtesy of Perlas and Luna, we spent some time chillin’ in Greenbelt since we will not see each other this weekend. It was a good thing I still have some vouchers which I purchased online and luckily we have a Cold Rock Voucher courtesy of Metrodeal.

If you dream it, we can ice cream it!

Cold Rock’s tagline is a challenge. Originally from Australia, Cold Rock opened it’s first store in the Philippines last 2005 in Fort Strip, Global City followed by the store in Greenbelt, then Trinoma and lastly Alabang Town Center. To truly enjoy the ultimate Ice cream experience, simply choose you ice cream from a wide variety of flavors that they have, the choose your mix-ins and enjoy!

Our Cold Rock Ice creams

 Angel’s choice – Chocochipaholic with candy sprinkles 

(since they don’t have mint at that time)

 My choice – Coffee with Maltesers

Large cups cost p240 and plus p25 mix-ins. They have almost every mix-ins that you would want, from chocolates to candies to fruits! We are both very happy with our choices of ice creams!

Papa John's Pizza now in the Philippines!

Angel’s family and I were looking for a place to dine, one Sunday evening. We passed by Galleria and I told them that I wanted to try Papa John’s Pizza because of the good things I have been hearing about it, too bad though we are going to Megamall.

When we arrived to Megamall, it was to my surprised that they already opened Papa John’s there. So problem solved. We were of course in line because of the several people who want to also eat at Papa John’s. The place is a bit small and “masikip” children can’t really run around the area.

Patio Carlito and WhiteHouse on the 84th

Filipino Food for me is one of the best cuisines there is. It is everybody’s comfort food and I’m always excited to try out new Filipino dishes. Leftover rice can still be fried the next morning and the leftover adobo can magically be another new dish for the next meal. I love how the Filipinos turn something into a whole new thing, you can always count on how resourceful and creative they are.

Patio Carlito, a house turned restaurant is another new invention in the Filipino cuisine scene. What was once a family house owned by Governor Barretto of Zambales, is now a home of Filipino comfort food. The posh and stylish restaurant is another concept by The Red Crab Group of Restaurants. I was not able to take good pictures of the place because there was an event, the night I was invited to taste their delectable dishes, but I can tell that the place is no ordinary restaurant. The place has the vintage feel that can be seen thru its walls, lighting, wall decors and even the pictures here and there. The house turned bistro also has its parts now used as private function rooms, such as TV Room, Piano Room and the Bar Room. 

During our bloggers dinner, we stayed in the Bar Room which has glass walls that overlooks the bar or the WhiteHouse on the 84^th – the adjoining bar during evenings.

I have never seen so many Filipino dishes that night, and I couldn’t have guessed how chef and the rest of the kitchen staff prepared so mouth-watering dishes for us. Prepare to feast your eyes on what was served to us during that night.
