Kraft Eden Cheese honors Filipino Moms w...

I believe Christmas is the only holiday that we Pinoys celebrate the longest. This year, Kraft Eden Cheese honors one of the most important people in our lives, Mom. Back in the day, the Lazaro household is restless cooking and preparing for whoever will come and visit us on Christmas day. My Mom is the busiest person, with all the grocery shopping she needs to do. One of my favorites that she would prepare is what she terms as “German Steak” or beef roulade. My regret is that I don’t have her recipe for the beef roulade but I do know for sure, she has...

Solaire Resorts and Casino Manila to ope...

This is the new Solaire Resorts and Casinos. From this picture you will see how much of it has been finished and how much more needs to be done to look like this: This is the new playground of the rich and the high-roller. This resort hotel is more geared to servicing the high-rollers or whales as they are sometimes called. There is a reason for the seemingly discriminate marketing and business model.

I had the privilege of tasting the world-famous cuisine of Chef Michael Ty and Chef Chris Neary at the invitation of AHA Philippines. This culinary school has been making waves in its industry.

If only culinary school students and future students learned about AHA Philippines, many of them would probably decide to study here. Tuition is not as high as most culinary schools in the Philippines. For more information on their fees, I recommend you visit their website and be pleasantly...

Ultimate Taste Test 2012 rocks Molito in...

Food markets are one of the most awesome foodie experiences ever. Despite the rains and thunderstorm beating against my windshield, I braved the Skyway to grab a taste of some of the most delectable food bites south of the Metro. Plus I got to be a food critic for a day. There were a lot of people, all wanting to sample the best of the best that Mercato has to offer. True enough, the concessionaires did not disappoint. It was as good as I had expected and more. There were a few standouts, though there were two that I regretted ever having tasted. I won’t talk...
