RESORTS WORLD MANILA: I LOVE DISH!

 Don't you love it when you're able to have fun and enjoy but still help another person? At Resorts World Manila, different favorite celebrities come together to create dishes that would entice guests and help different beneficiaries.
 Just a week ago, Resorts World Manila introduced the I LOVE DISH. A campaign that brought together different celebrities and the amazing Chef Cyrille Soenen to create dishes that would be delicious and in the same way help charitable institutions.
 To start, Chef Luigi Mulach created the SINUGLAW SA ALIGUE. Almost similar to ceviche, Chef Luigi's version is his take on the classic Filipino pulutan. Cooked with vinegar, coconut milk, and crab fat, this must not be missed. You could get this at THE TERRACE at Maxims Hotel and in Bar 360 at RWM Gaming Area.
 Something different, Stephanie Zubiri created the Sambal-Spiced Mixed Mushroom Farfalle. Think pasta with a creamy mushroom background. It's actually not that spicy and fits the bill as it could be ordered at Impressions.
 Meg Imperial's Paremesan Crusted Chicken Breast is a quick yet filling meal. The meat was coated pretty well that it gives a bit of a crunchy texture. This one could be availed at Cafe Maxims.
 The Donita Rose created not one but two dishes. Aside from the Creamy Mango Strawberry Jelly, she also made a juicy chicken treat for everyone. The Ginataang Chicken Adobo was pampered with a creamy coconut marinate. You could try this out at Silogue, GF Gaming Area.
Dimples Romana went for the SALTED EGG PRAWNS. Other establishments might have this dish but could be a bit dry. On the contrary, this version is perfectly seasoned and filled with the salted egg sauce. This is available at PASSION.
Dessert was incredible. Personally, I didn't think that they could do a lot with sweet endings yet SAM OH went above and beyond. She elevated the HO TTEOK. A Korean pancake dish that's served with a sweet nutty filling and partnered with a house-made black sesame seed salted caramel ice cream. Available at Ginzadon, you should definitely try this out. For someone that might be in a hurry or just in Resorts World for a quick snack, Mark Bautista's PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES are a must. Believe it or not, I didn't think highly of it. BUT, one bite and I should have not judged the book by its cover. It has a creamy center and the cupcakes are moist. Delicious and deadly, this is available at Cafe Maxims.

Here is Chef Cyrille "Cicou" Soenen together with some of the celebrities. I can't wait to return and enjoy the different dishes that Resorts World Manila offer. To think, when you order these dishes, you're able to help the COR foundation, Pasay City Social and Welfare Development, and the Right Start Foundation. Amazing.




On a personal note:
I hope you guys get to visit Impressions in Resorts World Manila. I know for a fact that Chef Cicou will definitely take care of you and that their dishes are really delicious.

16th GRAND WINE EXPERIENCE: Unlimited Alcohol and Delicious Dishes.

It was a feast like no other. Different high end alcoholic drinks were on display and right there for the taking. Enter the 16th GRAND WINE EXPERIENCE: The Noble Grape.
Recently held at the GRAND BALLROOM of the Marriot in the Resorts World Compound, a plethora of drinks lined up the entire ballroom. It was an attack on the senses.
As you enter, you are greeted by the red carpet and loads of delicious and quality dishes. From fresh shrimp cocktails to pecking duck wraps and even boat loads of steak.
Furthermore, rice and other carbs are present to help the guests cope with the unlimited number of drinks and alcohol variants in the venue.
Thankfully, there was also different kinds of cheese, sausages and TXANTON was even there to provide high quality meat.
More than just being a high profile party, patrons get to indulge and experience what their favorite drinks are all about. One could and should go around and talk to the vendors and their representatives to get a feel of the best of the best.
A tip would have to be to go walk from one end to another just to scout possible drinks that you may want to try.
More than just wine, they also had whisky brands and even sparkling drinks.
Personally, the HOEGAARDEN is one of my top beer choices.
More so when they introduced the ROSEE FLAVOR. This may seem to be a ladies' drink but believe me when I say it doesn't taste like normal beer. The sweetness and the mild strokes are just perfect.
Speaking off, sweet tooth lovers are also welcome. They are greeted by unlimited sources of sugar such as this chocolate table!

This 16th version of the GRAND WINE EXPERIENCE is nothing short of spectacular. The drink choices are too many to mention. Other than that, the food is also delicious. This is a fine time for wine lovers and alcoholic drinkers indeed.

PRO TIP: Come in early so that you could take your time and check out the different station on your pace. Speaking of such, don't rush. Enjoy each sip. If it becomes a bit too crowded, go out of the room and take a breather at one of the couches. Cheers.


Can't wait for the next one.

BELMONT HOTEL in RESORTS WORLD MANILA: More Than Just a Stopover

More than just a traveler's hotel, BELMONT HOTEL MANILA in Resorts World Manila is a nice place to visit and spend a weekend at. Upon entering the place, you are assisted and treated like a valued guest.
As patrons enter their room, some might think that it's a bit small compared to other hotels in the area. On the contrary, the rooms are quite spacious and utilizes every nook and cranny to provide the utmost comfort to their guests. It serves its purpose.
The bed is fluffy and very comfortable. This allows a good night's sleep for anyone that uses it.
A desk is provided for your working needs. Wifi is fast and free. Here you are able to have a view of the nearby hotels and other buildings in the area.
There are a couple of things that might bother some guests with regards to their washroom. The first being that BELMONT HOTEL does not have a bidet. The other is that their shower area is open. As such, water might spill towards the entire comfort room if you aren't careful.
I believe that BELMONT HOTEL is trying to go green. The middle area of the hotel is transformed into a garden sanctuary of sorts. Here, different plants are placed and they give off a relaxed vibe.
The topmost floor provides a pool for a quick dip. There is a jacuzzi area on one end and another pool for kids.
Fitness buff need not worry as there is also a wellness area that allows guests to have a decent work out.
Other room configurations would include a twin bed setup.
 
If you are lucky enough, you might even get this corner room with a huge view of the surrounding area.
A decent breakfast buffet is served in CAFE BELMONT. Located on the ground floor, this is their in house restaurant.
Favorites such as bacon, sausages and even hotdogs are served for breakfast. An egg station is also there to provide your omelette needs.
One interesting tidbit to note is that there would be a sky bridge that would connect the NAIA Terminal 3 to the RESORTS WORLD MANILA COMPOUND. Part of the master plan, all of the different hotels and malls would be interconnected to accommodate travelers and visitors. According to the staff, this might be completed as early as the first quarter next year.

Eating OPUS revisited

May 24, 2013

When we arrived back from Bangkok, our ride wasn't there to greet us. Apparently, EDSA and C-5 were  huge parking lots.

I figured since my dad and our driver were already 2 hours on the road, we should just meet up somewhere in the middle so that we could eat and relax. Rather than just picking us up then traveling through the freaking traffic again.




Since they were stuck somewhere in the Fort, I suggest we just meet up in Resorts World since it is the most logical meeting place. The only problem now would be finding a place to eat. Since I was with my family and they rarely go out at night, we chose OPUS.
