Domino's Pizza Now Serving Las Piñas City!

Domino’s Pizza is now in Las Piñas City! And being a pizza lover that I am, I surely didn’t miss the chance to join Domino’s Pizza as they welcome their patrons in their grand opening ceremony last Friday, September 30 in SM Center Las Pinas.

             

            The celebration started with a ribbon cutting ceremony led by Mr. Tong Hong, President and Managing Partner of Domino’s Pizza Philippines and Las Piñas Councilor Hon. Renato P. Dumlao. It was followed by a simple blessing of the new store and their crews.

What I personally like about Domino’s Pizza is their unique taste and creativity in making the variety of their flavors. I was even curious about their Apple Crumble Desert pizza. I wonder how apple combined with their signature cream cheese and streusels would taste along my favorite pizza meal. Another thing about their pizza is that its flavor is not too strong to overwhelm your taste buds but enough for you to indulge yourself with another slice.

            Residents of Las Pinas City can now have a break from their usual pizza hub and enjoy the exciting variety of Domino’s Pizza’s ExtravaganZZa, MeatZZa, Double Decker, Pepperoni Feast, Hawaiian and Domino’s Deluxe flavors. My personal favorite among their variety is the Cheese Mania but will definitely try their exclusive Potato Pizza next time!

World Food Expo 2011: The Country's Biggest and Most Effective Food Show!

Aside from a comfortable stay, there's one more thing that I am thankful of Microtel Inn. It's the free pass I got from them to the World Food Expo 2011that was held last August 3-6 at the SMX Convention Center Pasay City.

Who would have thought that the simple leaflet inside Microtel's Shuttle could bring me to this awesome trade and food show!

So last August 5, I dragged my friend and avail of the free pass. Then we roam around to look at the latest kitchen items like pans, plates, wine glasses and utensils that were available on sale. There was also a display of kitchen appliances like ovens, stoves, refrigerators and food processors. We really had a great time imagining having it inside our homes! Such a class!

We were walking aimlessly inside SMX when something caught my attention. An awesome display of beautifully designed cakes on the other side of the expo! So we hurriedly checked it out, and behold! Elegant wedding cakes, plated desserts, and bread and pastries too!

I really had fun looking at those food and silently admired those hands that mold and created those goodness. At the bottom of my heart I was also thinking what kind of cake would fit my dream wedding! Ahhh.. that must be beautiful! Haha. 

There was also ice sculptures that were on display that day and although some of them were already melting when we came, I still love the idea of ice being turned into a work of art. 

A cooking competition dubbed as Philippine Culinary Cup, participated by culinary students and chefs was also held during the World Food Expo. It's really nice to look at how those people work with their kitchen knife and wok. That will surely be a tough competition among them. Just like my brother who had been a cook for so long always say, "nobody beats me in my kitchen!".

There was also a section in the expo where you can buy locally produced items just like this bottled calamansi among other stuffs. There was also an area dedicated for your favorite processed food like hotdogs, tocino, longganisa, embotido.. name it, they surely have it! 

I am really grateful for Microtel Inn being the Official Expo Hotel for this event and giving away a free pass to this kind of event is really a great way to treat their visitors. 

With the success of World Food Expo in terms of exhibitors and visitors, I know that there next year's expo is something we should all watch out for. If you are an HRM student, taking culinary studies, a mom or just plainly curious about the latest thing about food industry you definitely shouldn't miss their next event!

World Food Expo 2011: Culinary Cup Dress the Cake Competition

We went to the World Food Expo 2011 (WOFEX) at SMX Convention Center last Saturday. And being all gaga for sweets, especially cakes, I guess this was my favorite part of the expo. The cake designs were very creative and others were really intricately detailed, some were just elegantly simple.

The cakes looked exceptionally pleasing for the eye that I couldn’t help but wish they’re made for tasting, too. (when I saw a sign saying “wag po nating hawakan o kainin ang mga cake display..” I couldn’t help but mischievously grin.. and sigh.. haha!)

These were some of the entries for 2011 Philippine Culinary Cup, Pastry Category under wedding cakes, and dress-the-cake. The entries which won Gold, Silver and Bronze were really amazing and received the most number of appreciation from the expo visitors.

S.Ex is good. Especially for breakfast. :))

My officemates and I conquered yet another food haven to satisfy our cravings and hunger for a good breakfast meal. After office, as a part of our usual routine every pay day, and partly as a despedida for our batchmate who will soon resign to have his review, we went to Sinangag Express in BF Homes Parañaque to try their famous tapsilog.

I was really abashed as my officemate suggested that we go have SEX rather than our usual KFC, or Yellowcab. It was funny though, that a food chain can be fondly called S.Ex from it’s usual name, Sinangag Express. But true to their name, this foodchain can really give you one of a kind good time without having to take your clothes off. :))

Their beef pares is a must try, their sinangag is also great and comes in a serving that’s enough for a hungry tummy, and their special iced tea tastes cool albeit a little too sweet. Oh, they also have Chilled Taho! It’s a treat, really. :)

Like their Facebook Fanpage: Sinangag Express and see where to have S.Ex nearest you!

*cheers to good food! :D

Baguio Treat: Strawberry Taho

If you’re in Baguio, this is surely one of the best things you really wouldn’t want to miss. It’s sweet, it’s good to warm your tummy in a cold morning, and most of all, it’s made from not just sugar, but pure, sweet and fresh strawberries.

It’s a little bit pricier than normal Taho, but it’s worth the price. Since it’s not commonly available here in the metro, it might even make you want to take home some of this sweet little cup of great taste. So if you’re in Baguio and you need something to perk you up in the morning, Strawberry taho is really a must try.
