Sweet Gastronomic Experience at Sweet Bella Cafe

The success of the 1st Sweet Bella Café store led to another soon to be successful 2nd store in Greenbelt 5.

Sweet Bella Café owner, Cristina Santiago-Rivera (daughter of Melo Santiago, renowned restaurateur behind Melo’s Steakhouse) cooks up additional dishes in her menu for the 2nd store in Greenbelt 5.

The menu offers a gastronomic experience from start to finish. Let me show you what I’m talking about. 

Sweet Beginnings of Sweet Bella Café

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. – Ernestine Ulmer

Everybody loves dessert. Period. Some people even prefers dessert over the main course. As a child, I began to like chocolates as a prize and something I should work hard for. The story of Sweet Bella starts with Cristina Santiago-Rivera and her passion for creating the most desirable dessert anyone can imagine. 

Cristina “Tin Tin” Santiago-Rivera is an accomplished pastry chef and a very loving mother. She graduated from California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, USA and came back to Manila to follow the footsteps of her Dad, Melo Santiago, the renowned restaurateur behind Melo’s Steakhouse.

Sweet Bella Cafe, named after her only daughter, Isabella, began as a home based dessert bar in 2006. Since then, her fervour in making only the most delectable desserts and unforgettable experience to the palate led to the inception of Sweet Bella Desserts, now known as Sweet Bella Café.

Something Old and Something New at Chateau 1771

Chateau 1771 has managed to keep up with a reputation of serving the finest No Borders Cuisine since the 80’s back when it was still in its original Malate home. Evoking the feel-good vibe of exquisite flavors of Swiss, Italian, and French, Chateau 1771 was able to make a winning concoction that kept foodies linger over the past two decades.

Now residing in its posh and upscale Greenbelt address, Chateau 1771 remained on top-of-mind for those who wish to experience only the finest in dining. Yes, Chateau 1771 is for people who understand that food is a crucial part of planning in every occasion that deserves a celebration. But of course, those who wish to make an ordinary day transform into something special, starting with gourmet food is the way to go.

So before the year comes to a close and in preparation for Chateau's 25th year anniversary next year, Executive Chef Vicky Rose Pacheco rounds out the quarter with a new batch of dishes bringing back old flavors, which will surely change the way a gourmet food is defined.

Marriott Café sizzles with it’s Newest Teppanyaki Station

Japanese Cuisine is well loved by many because its classic culinary appeal is incomparable to anywhere in the world. The Japanese station is one of the most visited station in any buffet.

Among the large variety of dishes and regional specialties of the Japanese cuisine, I came to love sushi and maki and beside these delicious dishes, Marriott Café now sizzles with it’s newest Teppanyaki Station for buffet dinner which still priced P1750 net.

Marriott Café’s Teppanyaki station offers only the freshest and meaty choices of seafood, fish, pork and chicken, grilled to perfection. Executive Chef Meik Brammer makes everything tastier and satisfying in all aspects from the grill to the plate.

 Derived from the word “teppan” or iron plate, this side of the buffet is loaded with the following choices: Gyuniko (diced beef tenderloin with vegetable in teppanyaki sauce); Tori (diced chickem with vegetable in teppanyaki sauce); Shake Teppanyaki (teppan salmon fillet with vegetable in special sauce); and Kaisen (mixed seafood with vegetable is sweet and spicy garlic sauce).

 It was my first time to try Marriott Café’s Teppanyaki Station and I tried a combo dish. I mixed everything possible, I got Gyuniko, Tori and Kaisen.

 The special Teppanyaki sauce made the dish so full of flavour and tasty to the last piece. I liked my beef well done, the chicken, and squid was perfectly cooked also. The vegetables were a perfect compliment to the meat. I really love my meal, I was even tempted to make another one.

 You can convert it to a complete meal too by adding rice whipped up with meat sauce and spices, where in the mixing results to an aromatic golden brown color.

 While Teppanyaki is the new star section of Marriott Café, the thoughtful daily dinner menu in the buffet from appetizer to dessert can never be left behind in its execution—leaving the choices and great memories almost endless! I would recommend also the fruits dessert station.

I just love the selection of fruits available, compliments to each meal Marriott has to offer. I can't wait for another exciting gastronomic night at Marriott Cafe!

Antonio's Coffee+Bibingka

What is Bibingka?

Bibingka is a Philippine rice cake that is usually eaten during Christmas season. This is usually being sold in wooden kiosk outside church. Bibingka is usually paired with Puto Bumbong, glutinous rice cooked in bamboo tubes and colored with purple coloring. During Simbang Gabi in the Philippines, these two delicacies sell like pancakes as early as 4 o’clock in the morning.

Today you don’t need to wait for the Christmas season to taste them because there is already ANTONIO’S Coffee + Bibingka, this is actually the first store that I know that made Bibingka available to people who shop every day at malls.

Kris Aquino and San Marino Corned Tuna Healthy Heart Campaign

Kris: “Love ng Heart ko, San Marino”

Having been aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the country, Kris reveals one of the
many ways on how she keeps her health healthy. “I eat foods which has lots of Omega-3. One product
that I love is San Marino Corned Tuna.” Every 180-gram can of San Marino Corned Tuna has 1,125 mg of Omega-3. Omega-3 which is naturally-
found in tuna contributes to having a healthy heart as it lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. It also
reduces risks of heart attack and other cardio-vascular diseases.

“Another reason why I love San Marino Corned Tuna is because it has less oil than the usual tuna
flakes in oil products and has lots of tuna.” Kris adds, “And San Marino Corned Tuna has absolutely no
preservatives.”
