Yes, Trinoma is now the venue of the newest UCC Cafe Terrace in the Metro. UCC Trinoma has free valet parking service for those who don’t want to bother having to go up and down the perpetually-full Trinoma parking lots. It’s actually one of the things I hate about going to Trinoma. MRT is supposedly a better alternative but the thick crowds can be very discouraging. Kudos for UCC for offering this service to their customers.
The last day of July saw me dining out with friends from the office. The lunch was good and so were the laughs. This was not really the original place we decided to dine, but a little kink about selecting tables became an issue so we decided to move to Burgoo at the 4th floor of the Power Plant mall. We were glad we did.
“What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?” Actor Bill Murray was remembered for having said this line in the movie “Lost in Translation.” Pretty much like Murray’s character, many of us have yet to fully understand and appreciate the experience of dining in a shabu-shabu restaurant. It’s not expensive, as many would think. Keep in mind that the pots are there not because the chefs are too lazy to cook your food. Because for you to appreciate the flavors, you need to eat it as it comes out of the pot.
ALVEO is the new face of Ayala Land. The good properties like Senta, Celadon Residences, Two Serendra and Verdana Homes are now under the management of ALVEO. That’s Ayala Land’s top brass Jaime Ayala on the right. Ayala Land has managed to protect their reputation as a builder of safe communities for families of all incomes. ALVEO was nice enough to treat new and traditional media people to lunch at Red Restaurant inside the Makati Shangrila Hotel.
I remember hearing about the launch of Pepper Lunch in the Philippines and I asked the people who attended the launch about their feedback. The food bloggers I asked were mostly praises for Pepper Lunch so I decided to try it for myself.
