Orbit Gum with Xylitol presents the winners of their food tour contest. After sorting through 900 entries (a lot were duplicate entries, but all were tallied), the 10 lucky winners were finally announced. Each winner was allowed to bring one person along. I met the winners and they all made fantastic dinner companions.
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.
Indeed, this is far from the usual fare that I feature in this website. Yours truly has decided to experience a little cultured dining and try the very food I like the least; cheese. In this case, it was raclette.
Yes, Christmas comes early to Pinoy Life at Large! The very first contest on this website and the prize is a bag from Bratpack, which is either a Jansport, a Timbuk2 or a Hedgren bag. Bratpack has some of the coolest bags you can find and they will be opening a branch in Greenbelt 5 soon.
So what do you have to do to get that Bratpack bag?
No words can describe how good it feels to be back to an old favorite. Mario’s restaurant has been the mover of the Philippine fine dining scene since it started 38 years ago. My goodness, the restaurant is as old as I am! I remember my childhood days when no visit to Baguio was ever complete without a meal at Mario’s Session Road. My folks used to spend their special occasions at Mario’s and their Callos (ox tripe) was one of the family’s favorites.
