This is Serye’s newest bestseller, the Boneless Crispy Pata, is one of my all-time favorites! I don’t know how to make this but I am sure that it tastes wonderful. It’s all bite and no fuss! I like Crispy Pata when it’s really crispy, much like this one. You will surely love the new menu.

Del Monte’s Fit ‘n Fab 4 Challenge 2010: where losers are winners!

26 February, 2010 (00:14) | contests | By: Arpee

The search is on for Del Monte’s Fit ‘n Fab 4 Challenge 2010 biggest losers! Contest rules are simple. Just ask yourselves the following questions:

  1. Are you between 15 to 25 years of age?
  2. Do you have three other friends who are in the same age bracket?
  3. Do you want to lose some weight?
  4. Do you want to win P100,000 and a trip for the whole barkada to Boracay?

If your answer is YES to all 4 questions, then you and your friends have found your calling. Snack on healthy Del Monte Fit n Right Fruit Snacks with L-Carnitine to activate the fat in your body then start working out. In a month’s time, all teams will be weighed and the team that has lost the most weight wins! Lose more to win more!

How does L-Carnitine work?

L-Carnitine is the biologically active stereoisomer of the quarternary ammonium compound Carnitine (whew! that was a mouthful). So what? Well scientists have discovered that carnitine is naturally produced by our liver and kidneys which our body needs to metabolize fat. Yes, it helps our body burn fat and use it as an energy source. However, taking in L-Carnitine alone will not work. You need to activate the fat before L-Carnitine will work on it.

So Del Monte Fit n Right Fruit Snack’s 300 mg of L-Carnitine will work best when you’re working out because the exercise activates the fat prior to metabolism. Besides, it’s fun working out with friends! Either way, you’ll come out a sure winner.

You can join the challenge by registering here. I’m joining too! See you soon!

Sonya’s Cupcakes

I hope no one gets upset when I say MOST OF US love cupcakes. Serendra houses one of the most popular cupcake stores in the country: Cupcakes by Sonja. Yes, it is a little pricey but it’s the price you pay for sweet tooth heaven. I’d say it’s reasonable. Sugar does cost more than P55 per kilo, you know.

Original Singapore Chicken Rice is now in Manila!

I love this place. Food is authentic, cheap and addicting! As if I fell in love at first sight, I can’t stop thinking about the chicken rice. I live in Makati, which is not exactly next-door neighbors with Cubao, but I come here anyway. Been doing so for the past week. Since I first tried their chicken, I went back several times the following week. Why shouldn’t I? Every order of Singapore Chicken Rice is only P95 (US$2.06)! Compared to other restaurants, it’s authentic Chicken Rice at the best possible value. If you try their Chicken Rice, I know you will come back too.
