Our new product is here! Wheatgrass is a good blood builder, anti-bacterial and good for digestion. And don't we ALL just love Lemon, with its tangy, sour taste and fresh/perky smell! The lemon is a rich source of nutrients like calcium, potassium, vitamin C and pectin fibre. Like wheatgrass, it has medicinal values and antibacterial properties. Drinking wheatgrass with lemon regularly will help in removing overall acidity in the body including uric acid which causes pain and inflammation in the joints. Let's keep building up our pH balance.

Going to Quezon province to buy "pasalubongs" was one of our to-do list of our 10 day Philippines adventure. I saw this Air Summit Gourmet restaurant on the Internet and I was curious how it looked like so we decided to visit this airline by land! [gallery order="DESC" columns="2" ids="11300,11301"] Located in Barangay Dapdap in Tayabas, Quezon, this airplane restaurant has an immigration counter for guests to check in to get your order before boarding inside. I was told that this airplane was bought and modified as a restaurant. I read the menu while waiting for check in at Kamayan sa Palaisdaan resort - yes, the plane is inside the resort and we booked overnight to explore the place. Don't get confuse because Kamayan sa Palaisdaan has also a "Summit Cafe & Restaurant" on top of the resort overlooking Mt Banahaw where we had our dinner and it's a music bar with live karaoke / band. Across of the restaurant is a huge ...

I went to the Philippines for a two week short vacation and it's a must to block my schedule to visit Hello Kitty Dessert Bar in SM North EDSA . It was a gloomy friday when we traveled from Cavite to North side of Metro, the traffic was so bad early in the morning and we need to get back to Cavite before afternoon rush hour. Weeks ago, Hello Kitty Cafe truck visited Midwest USA (Illinois) and we lined up for two hours to grab yummy Hello Kitty treats. I am very eager to drag myself early morning to be able to complete my mission. Fortunately, when we arrived in SM North EDSA's Prime Block (3rd Floor) the store was empty so we went ahead and ordered different treats like doughnuts, tiramisu, coffee and shakes (with Hello Kitty faces & Sanrio gang on icings, toppings and coffee design). As we were waiting for our orders, we took snapshots of the shop's pink Hello Kitty facade and tons of selfie. White and pink tables complemented the 'kawaiiness' atmosphere thoug...

The first Filipino fast food chain made its debut on July 29 in Midwest. Located in the Touhy Marketplace shopping center (3534 Touhy Avenue), its opening day was a jampacked and we were lucky that we don't have to wait that long when we went last weekend. The lines continue to develop and people keep coming in from different places. I know people drove hours for Jollibee . That's how we love Jollibee. Everyone is patiently waiting just to take home our favorite chickenjoy, burgers and halo-halo. Unfortunately, burger steak is not available until August 15. Jollibee's menu is quite different from the Philippines because the store serves halo-halo. It won't matter if we want an hour or more just to taste our local dishes. I've read online and non-Filipinos were curious why there were so many people lining outside, some recommended they should try it and we would love to hear your feedback about our food. If you were watching Anthony Bourdain's show in CNN - Parts...

Finally, the long wait is over. Hello Kitty Cafe Truck arrived last weekend (August 13 Saturday & August 14 Sunday) to offer super cute yummy Hello Kitty treats for Midwest. The truck made its first appearance at Hello Kitty convention in Los Angeles,California in 2014. Food and Merchandises were sold out - pink bow-shaped water bottle, cookies with HK design, four-pack mini cakes, macaroons, shirts and mugs. During those time, the line were crazy everywhere so we only had bought few times because the goodies were sold out quickly. We were there as early as 7am-ish and line started I guess around 5am? We brought camping chairs so that we can wait comfortably. It was also our first time to visit Oakbrook Center , I was surprised that the place was huge and we kept looking for the location which was located near Argo Tea and Urban Outfitters. Hello Kitty Truck is here. Welcome to ILLINOIS!!! A video posted by Misyel Coladilla (@daomisyel) on Aug 13, 2016 at 6:22am PDT The Hello Kitt...

I read somewhere about Chicago Sports Museum but I don't know where is this sports heaven place specifically located until we decided to go downtown and spent the sunny weekend at Water Tower Place. It's my first time to stroll on that area to my surprise that Uniqlo (Asian clothing store) is opposite by Water Tower Place! Our first agenda on that day is to eat our lunch since my Mom and I were starving. As we look at the mall directory, I saw Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch restaurant then I realized that Chicago Sports Museum is adjacent to the restaurant. It was too humid on that day so we ordered Banana Nutella and Salted Caramel Shakes - and it was soooo good!!! My main course was Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon and mom had Turkey Meatloaf. Both were delicious! [gallery order="DESC" columns="2" ids="11191,11192"] After eating our brunch, we headed to the Chicago Sports Museum. The entrance is fee if you dine in ($6 for walk ins), just present...

One of the most trusted brand in skincare products is celebrating its 15 year anniversary. Silka had been so successfully in promoting a variety of skin whitening products like papaya soap, lotion and moisturizer. Silka staged a mini concert at the SM Lipa Events Center with the theme, "Silkamazing @ 15: Todo Buhos ang Galing." The event was packed with booths, games, raffle prizes and surprises. One of my favorite local band, Hale performed their greatest hits. Grand prizes such as Smart TV, IPAD and iPhone were given away to three people who participated in the raffle. The recent event was the last of the regional celebrations in honor of Silka's 15 years, the places being Cebu, Davao and Pangasinan respectively. Silka was the brainchild of Cosmetique Asia Corporation. It was first released in 2001 and in the span of its fifteen years in the industry, many Filipinas have been loyal users of Silka products. Iya Villania and Piolo Pascual being its notable endorsers. Happ...
