Happy Lemon at Bonifacio High Street!

I often crave for milk tea, usually in the afternoon when my body needs a good dose of sugar and milk. Thing is, I hibernate at Bonifacio High Street... AND THERE IS NO MILK TEA PLACE HERE. Yeah sure, there are around 2 milk tea shops near the area but sometimes I don't feel like walking a mile or two just to get a cup. I'm trying to save my fats here, people! So I have been wishing for a milk tea place here, right smack in the middle of High Street.

Finally, the holy cows heard me! Guess what milk tea place opened today in Bonifacio High Street...

Best Food Forward!

I was lucky enough to experience a mouth-satiating event called Best Food Forward, where I discovered good stuff to put on your dining table when you have people over your house, or you're just simply hungry to the nth level. Best Food Forward is going to be open for the public on March 24-25 at NBC Tent. Lucky for us bloggers, we get first dibs of what grubs are going to be there!

Chic Dining at 2nd's

I've been hibernating around Bonifacio Global City (BGC) for a long time already and it's such a shame that I haven't tried eating a full meal at 2nd's. It's always drinks and cocktails for me whenever I go there because that place gives off a cozy vibe. Good thing Richard and Irene dropped by for a quick chitchat so we decided to eat lunch at 2nd's.



We were greeted by the big big and heavy wooden door and 2nd's specials for today.

Something sweet from Blenz

A few days ago, I dropped by Blenz for a meeting with Redg. It was a long one- comprised of college chitchats, showbiz gossip, more showbiz gossip, and of course our agenda. Before we went down to business, Redg was kind enough to let me try Blenz's bestsellers (I think, if not then it should be!)



It's Red Velvet Cheesecake - a big layer of cheesecake (bottom) and red velvet cake (top) sandwiched together with a thin layer of cream in the middle, enveloped with super (x9999) rich white chocolate ganache and topped with white chocolate shavings. This is what you call daydreaming.

Just look at that fine slice.



I took one bite, and another, and another, until I forgot that we needed to discuss something. Yes, it was THAT good! It's made out of pure win and divine awesomeness. Go to the nearest Blenz branch (there's one in BGC and SM Megamall) and get a slice for you!

 

Shoe-per In Love!

*Update: I'm Shoe In Love: Find Your Perfect Pair shoe sale will be rescheduled to July 9-10, NBC Tent. Shopping hours are from 10am to 8pm! CAN'T WAIT!

 

If you're a girl and you love shoes like a fat kid loves cake and candies, then you have to be present at I'm Shoe In Love bazaar! So many shoe brands participating with discounts up to 50% off! Aaaaah my heart is jumping for joy!



 

One of my favorite shoe brands, Virtual Mae, is participating at this bazaar! She's giving away FREE SHOES to people who purchase any pair from her rack. Awesome right? :)

But before you all go gaga over the crazy shoe sale that will be happening, the bazaar is postponed due to the sucky weather that we are currently experiencing. (Boooo x999) I'll keep you updated about the deets! Can't wait to shoe shop 'til I drop, and I hope to see you guys there!

 

 

Urban Creativity

I'm giving a two toe-thumbs up to Bonifacio Global City (BGC), one of the metro's rising cities. They have landscapes and public art scattered around the vicinity. Currently, there are 12 public art pieces all over BGC- remarkable works by Ben-Hur Villanueva, Leo Gerardo Leonardo, Reynato Paz Contreras, Juan Sajid de Leon Imao, Jerry Araos, Lor Calma, Ferdie Cacnio, Reg Yuson, and Conrado Velasco.

We were strolling around BGC one night, and saw this big green light installation near Mercato Centrale. It looked like alien sticks to me! It actually could pass as BGC's public art! ... Or maybe its their 13th piece!

Gelatissimo Cafe at Serendra

One of the places that was hit with the frozen yogurt (fro-yo) craze is Bonifacio Global City. Yup, this city has quite a number of fro-yo places- Hobbes & Landes, Lulubelle, White Hat, Pancake House, Stock Market, Yogurt Nation, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. But what I noticed is that there's no ice cream place in the area! Well, there's FIC in Stock Market but that is not enough! Shoppers and strollers need more cold food, and not just fro-yo. That is why we give hail to Gelatissimo Cafe's new branch in Serendra!

Texas Roadhouse Grill

One of my favorite things in this tiny planet is steak. My body weight really doesn't show it but you will when you see me eat! I can devour slab after slab of that beefy and juicy meat- just as long as it's medium rare on the grill. Eew all you want but I love my steak that way!

To satiate our steak cravings (and because we were bored), we ate at Texas Roadhouse Grill in Bonifacio High Street.

Meranti at Two Serendra

One of the greenest condominiums can be just found here in the metro. Serendra, Ayala Land's premier estate development, is located in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. I'm sure you're very familiar with this place- having great selections of dining places on the ground floor, and delectable shops on the second. Currently, the prime estate area has two developments- One Serendra and Two Serendra.
