Bono Artisanal Gelato: All Natural Gelato in Makati
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 1st, 2013
I think I was in high school when people started going gaga over gelato! A variety of gelato shops started opening here and there. Everyone loved it, except me. I still preferred ice cream over gelato, until I tried Bono. There are only 2 gelato shops I loved, one is Café Publico in Greenhills and the other, Bono in SM Makati. I first discovered Bono while I was on my way to Glorietta from the MRT. This corner shop’s light and color...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Ma Maison: A Fusion of Western and Japanese Food
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 20th, 2013
I love to eat, (that’s probably why I eventually loved running) and two of my favorite styles are Japanese and Western. Korean and Vietnamese are slowly making my top list too. Anyway, I love Japanese for their sushi and simply how fresh everything seems. The meat is so tender and the sauces are just right. On the other hand, I love American food for its exaggeration of flavors! I love salty food, I love burgers and I definitely love steak! So ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Red Crab’s New Guilt-Free Menu with Suchero
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 3rd, 2013
Mmm…. sweet sweet food. Don’t you just love eating sweet sugary food? Honestly, a huge percentage of our food actually contains sugar, many of which we might not even have realized. I’m sure all of you know that sugar IS NOT healthy, so just like any other food, a little bit is okay, but too much can be hazardous. Did you know that cane sugar actually FEEDS cancer cells? and sweeteners are like plastic in the body, because th...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Hoho Chickenchop: Taiwan’s Original now in Manila
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 13th, 2012
Ivy, a friend of mine who often goes to Hong Kong kept telling me about this really good fried chicken which she found on the streets of Hong Kong. I tried to find it when I went to Singapore but they didn't have it. So when I visited Hong Kong with her last June, we had to go out of our way and find this street food just because it was THAT good. At first I thought, "it's just chicken, what's the big deal?" Plus, it's just street food, it can't ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

It’s Time You Put a Spin on Your Boring Job
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 2nd, 2012
Working a 9 to 5 job for 5 days a week can be tough, tiring and even boring. I don’t remember the exact number but I remember attending a seminar where they mentioned how more than 90% of the population simply work to put food in their mouths and not because they actually enjoy what they’re doing. And even without going out and asking every individual personally, we all know how true that is. I bet a number of the people reading this are also...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

5 Reasons Why I Love Maggi Magic Meals
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 29th, 2012
When I first heard of Maggi Magic Meals, there was a big question mark floating above my head. How is that even possible? I was so confused and I didn’t really get how I could have an instant meal just by putting a bag of powder in the rice cooker. But as soon as I tried it out myself, I was simply amazed. Not only did it really work, but it was also really good. Small plastic bag and powder from Maggi Magic Meals mixed with your favorite in...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Are You M3 Ready?
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 4th, 2012
Cooking can be so much fun for most people, but for the busy parent, cooking can be really tiring. Though I personally am not yet a mom, I’ve tried cooking after spending an entire day at work and it isn’t an easy task! Besides cooking the rice, you still have to prepare the viand (ulam)., plus there’s defrosting, marinating, etc. It’s just plain tiring and very time consuming. M3 to the rescue So moms… and dads… and b...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
