There is more to Greenwich that just great pizza and pasta. Greenwich stores now have pizazz! Slowly but surely, Greenwich stores nationwide are going through a face lift, one that promises to bring more excitement and perk to the regular menu of pizza and pasta greats.

Priced at P244.00 (US$ 4.88) per person, Kamay Kainan is probably one of the cheapest buffet restaurants in Metro Manila. Down South, there are cheaper buffets, but Kamay Kainan is known for serving mostly Tagalog or Kapampangan delicacies. The name means to eat with your hands, a practice as common to ancient Filipinos as it is now. We love to eat with our hands because it makes you eat heartier, without inhibitions, never coy, though sometimes messy more so for those who have never tried it.
Dining has never been so fine after visiting Adarna Food and Culture. This restaurant, located along Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City, serves more than just good Filipino food: they also serve customers a heaping spoonful of culture and nostalgia with every bite. Indeed, Beth Angsioco has done a wonderful job in putting the restaurant together.
Savory is exactly how this chicken tastes like. Established by the Ting family back in the 1950s, Savory Chicken (lovingly pronounced sah-boo-ree by the older generations) used to be a household name. The brand began to disappear by the late 1990s to early 2000s.
Yes you got it right! That’s my sister on the far right when we had dinner at the Bonifacio High Street. In this picture you will see what remains of my family as my mom and dad have passed away. Today, I congratulate my sister Tess for being confirmed as the Philippine Ambassador to Bern, Switzerland. Her Commission on Appointments hearing was held yesterday and she part of the batch that went through the CA proceedings without a hitch. Her record has always been pristine and DFA is fortunate to have her on their roster of fine diplomats. She lives a simple, prudent life and dedicates her spare time to her family, namely me. She is friendly and approachable, as people back home can attest to.
I am very happy that at 49, she has become Ambassador. However, her success is not without struggle. I’ve always known her to work harder than anyone, not because she wanted to be on top, but because she is duty-bound to her profession. She shares her successes with her family and friends, but would keep her problems mostly to herself. And I am so proud to have come from the same gene pool (he he he), though some people still have trouble accepting that 
.
Again, congratulations Ate Tess. You deserve it!
