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 )

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 )

Flapjacks’ Recipe for Goodness
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 30th, 2012
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Eli invited Philippe, Ivy and myself to join him for brunch at Flapjacks Robinson’s Place. It’s not often that I eat breakfast out so this is one of the rare moments that I truly cherish. Good people, good food, what more could I ask for? Flapjacks Restaurant Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was the huge FJ sign on the wall! It looked really cool and the color patterns were enticing! I also...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Jamba Juice Now Blending in the Philippines!
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 12th, 2011
When I first heard that Jamba Juice was coming to town, I had NO IDEA what it was. I figured it was just like any other juice and smoothie shop... no biggie. Well so I thought. A few days ago, I was given the wonderful opportunity to attend the Jamba Juice VIP and Media Night at the Fort. I came to the event not expecting anything at all, in fact, I thought it would just be a small event to show the media and bloggers the...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Ever tried letting kids eat their vegetables? Talk about a challenge! I used to trick my kids into eating their veggies by cutting it really small and covering it with lots of rice before feeding them! Just a small peak of the color green on their spoon would be chaotic! ...still, it doesn't hurt to try, and we did just that! We tried to let our kids eat their healthy vegetables by having a vegetable salad making activity in class! They had a ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Most children love eating fruits, but adding a little twist to the fruits makes the experience even better for them! For our theme on food, we decided to make some fruit kebabs with the kids.

I first tried John and Yoko several months ago... I and Philippe were on a food trip, and since I'm such a fan of Japanese food, I decided to order several dishes.. so long as they were within my budget. 2 days ago, I visited John and Yoko for the second time!
