Sharetea is now in the Philippines!

For months now, the Milk Tea craze has been taking the metro by storm. Everywhere you go, you will see a food cart or a milk tea store. During breaks or even after dinner the new “after dinner chit chat” would be in a cafe or store, sipping Milk Tea. I have tried some of the talked about Milk Teas, (Serenitea, Chatime, Gongcha to name a few) and just recently I have learned that one of my fave tea store in HK, ShareTea, is finally here in the Philippines!

ShareTea, first opened its store in Wilson, Greenhills and shortly followed by the store in Pioneer, Pasig.

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.

Kris Aquino found true love in San Marino

The Queen of all Media, Kris Aquino recently announced her search for true love is over. After her romantic trials and tribulations Kris is now careful with every relationship that she would be involved with. She protects and takes care of her relationship specially those that involve her heart.

She boldy declares, “My search is over, I found true love in San Marino.”

“It didn’t take me a hundred years to find true love. I realized that I am surrounded by it,” explains Kris.

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.
