GIVEAWAY ALERT: HOTEL JEN X FOOD IN THE BAG

 Followers of this website (thank you so much) deserves a lot of praise and thanks. Without you guys, I wouldn't be here. I'm happy to say that HOTEL JEN MANILA and I will be giving away a few gift certificates to a lucky few. A simple way of saying THANK YOU. You don't need to pay for anything just follow the directions at the bottom of this post and you're good to go. Just to point it out, I've been a fan of HOTEL JEN MANILA for quite some time. My family and I have stayed there more than a couple of nights and enjoyed everything. Personally, I think I've been there more than my fingers could count.
 Admittedly, HOTEL JEN has been there forever. Of course, not really but it used to be TRADER'S and HOLIDAY INN before that. It's more of an institution really. Even if it seems that the hotel is a bit dated, they try to make do with what they have and improve on their service and everything else. Internet is fast and reliable and needs no password. Parking is remedied through their valet service. The view is amazing and everything else that comes with it.
  AGAIN, thank you very much to HOTEL JEN MANILA and also to the thousands of followers of this website for allowing me to reach an important milestone. If you follow my FACEBOOK PAGE, you'll know what it is.

MINAMI SAKI: Japanese Resto in Ortigas. Plus a Giveaway.

 
 I didn't know that there was a Japanese Restaurant as reliable as MINAMI SAKI in the Ortigas Area. Rather than the usual go to's, MINAMI SAKI by ASTORIA is the perfect way to go on a less popular but delicious path. Admittedly the restaurant serves fresh and simple dishes. As such, MINAMI SAKI should be one of your go to Japanese Restaurant in the area be it for lunch or dinner.  
 Located on the ground floor of The Astoria in The Ortigas Business District, it seems like any other ordinary restaurant until you enter. The Ambiance is perfect. It shouts Japanese yet is very private and well mannered about it.
Appetizers are served to whet the appetite. Shredded salmon meat with pickled veggies are placed on your plate first as a complimentary starter. 
If you are tired with the usual miso soup, you could try out the DUBIN MUSHI. Basically a traditional seafood broth, this could pace your stomach just right for the meal ahead.
What is a Japanese Restaurant without fresh sashimi and sushi? Since, it may be hard to decide on which to pick, you could go for the MORIAWASE SASHIMI. Five different sashimi types placed in front of you. Perfectly cut and just plain fresh.
If you're looking for something different. The ABURI SUSHI might be for you.
ABURI means slightly burned. These were torched to give it a slight cooked and caramelized taste. My favorite among the 5 would be the eel. Sweet and luxurious. Other than that, there is tuna, salmon, hamachi, and lapu-lapu.
The chef knows how to please it's younger and picky customers by making the TEMPURA MAKI. This huge roll is just right for the kids and the kids at heart. Playing perfectly with the shrimp, it is rolled into a maki and is deep fried.
The Shrimp is proportional with the rice. It's not as if the rice was overwhelming. Rather, for a rice loving person such as myself, I enjoyed the balance. One bite meal I believe.
For something luxurious, the KAKI PAPAYA YAKI or Roasted Japanese Oysters on Papaya and miso sauce would be your bet. Oysters flown in from Japan are used to make each bite perfect. I didn't know that Papaya would work well with oysters and miso. After just one try, I got hooked.
For Steak lovers, they would enjoy the Teppan-Yaki. The US ANGUS SIRLOIN Steak is just flawless. The Meat is properly cooked to a medium or medium well doneness. You could say that it is healthy because it is accompanied by stir fry vegetables. Perfect with a mouthful of rice.

If that isn't enough you may want to try the USUYAKI STEAK with MUSHROOMS. Basically thin cut meat rolled with a variety of mushrooms inside. I could have just eaten this with rice and I would be all set.
For healthy eaters, the MAGURO PEPPER STEAK was made with them in mind. Maguro or tuna was seared and a sweet sauce placed on top. Simply delicious.
Another must try would be the SCALLOPS with TAMAGO SAUCE. The scallops were smooth and soft. Every bite would remind me of the sea. It worked well with the egg sauce.
Surprisingly, MINAMI SAKI by ASTORIA also has a well thought off dessert line up.
For something light, you could try their Cheese Cake.
The taste was pretty light, but I would have wanted it to be smoother.
For something sweeter and different, the WASABI CREME BRULEE might be your go to dessert. It wasn't that spicy nor was it that hot but the wasabi flavor was spot on and very distinct. It might be okay for some but it might not be for others.
If I was to have just one dessert, it would be the COFFEE JELLY. Aside from its smokey entrance, I was impressed with the taste of the jelly. Made with UCC Coffee, I was in love on my first bite.

If you are into INSTAGRAM Follow me @mr_jeng.
MINAMI SAKI by ASTORIA is a great Japanese Restaurant to visit in the ORTIGAS Area. Under the helm of Chef Kimito Katagiri, I wasn't surprised with the flavor and quality of the dishes. He has an impressive career heading up different hotel restaurants in the Philippines for roughly 20 years. I was floored as all the dishes were superb. The prices are definitely proportional with the quality of the dishes. 
NOW TIME FOR THE GIVEAWAY
Two winners of Php 1000 Gift Certificate From Minami Saki.

GIVEAWAY: THE CHOICE: Your Turn, Your Voice , Your Vote

 As a way of saying thank you and that we value you.... It's about time that your choice.. Your Voice be heard.


THE CHOICE 

Every month, every week, and almost every day it seems, there's a new restaurant opening in Metro Manila. There are a lot of great new dining choices, side by side with the perennials, the classics that we grew up with. As food bloggers, writers, and members of the F&B industry, we're always very curious about the crowd favorites.
The popular vote, if you will. So, Our Awesome Planet and the Blogger Collective known as the KTG (Kain Tulog Gang) have partnered to conduct the first ever People's Choice for their Favorite Food, Restaurants, Bars, and more~ or simply, "The Choice".
You can participate and answer the survey here -->

www.surveymonkey.com/r/TheChoice2015

About The  Awards
We conducted an intense first round of voting among ourselves, and our resulting Top Tens have made us very pleased:  we feel it's a very diverse and fair representation of all our Metro Manila favorites. The categories are very broad, as they should be in a democratic vote. 
However, we'd like to emphasize that this is NOT a "Best of..." list. Our good friends and respected colleagues from The MBKRS are doing an excellent job of recognizing the restaurants and restaurateurs in their prestigious bi-annual awards.
The MBKRS are rightly regarded as the Oscars of our ever growing foodie community. So we'd like "The Choice" to be the Golden Globes~ a bit more irreverent, surely less formal, and yes, it ought to be greatly biased. After all, YOU will be voting for your favorites, this is YOUR CHOICE!!!
The Survey Parameters
1. For the Favorite New Restaurant category, our coverage period includes restaurants that opened between May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015.

2. For the Favorite Out-of-Town Destination, the restaurants must be reached by land in 5 hours; thanks to the TPLex, that includes Baguio!
3. There are 45 questions in this survey and answering this survey should take around 5-10 minutes. It is best to give a definitive answer on each question and feel free to skip if you can't decide.
4. All answers are treated confidential and final once you click on the submit button. One survey response for one person only.
5. Please give us your name and email address for our random validation of the survey responses.



The KTG:
"The KTG is a group of friends who all just happen to be some of the top food bloggers in the Philippines; every one of their individual blogs ranks among the highest ranking and most influential online publications dedicated to food, entertainment, and travel.
The KTG is composed of some of the more senior food bloggers in the country, including Richie Zamora of "The Pickiest Eater in the World', and Richard Co of 'Tales from the Tummy'. Representing the younger generation are "The Hefty Foodie", "The Food Scout", and "Nines vs. Food". And from the world of showbiz, Mr. Chuckie Dreyfus, a foodie who's also a respected tech blogger.
The KTG's objectives are not limited to discovering the best restaurants, however. While it's affectionately called the "Kain Tulog Gang", it's officially participated in relief efforts in Tacloban and Iloilo after Yolanda; and in Metro Manila, this "Kapatiran sa Tulong at Ginhawa" is on a constant mission to contribute in providing joy and comfort to the less fortunate."

GIVEAWAY ALERT: A YEAR'S supply of SUPER COFFEE!!!!

What is Coffee to you? For me it is a pick me up. A starter of good things.
 SUPER COFFEE is definitely just that and more.
Last Weekend, I was able to attend SUPER COFFEE's Media Launch in SM MEGAMALL 's Fireside .
It was a star studded affair with amazing bloggers in attendance.

 While waiting for everything to mellow down and start, a great meal was served from FIRESIDE.

Truffled Potato chips while waiting for the presentation.
50/50 Meatloaf. 50% of Bacon and Ground Angus Beef. Moist and delicious.
Sweet Spicy Salty Wings.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers. - The Cornbread Donuts is amazing!
While munching, a little presentation about SUPER COFFEE was delivered.
Yerik explains what makes them awesome and different.

SUPER COFFEE is actually a brand from Singapore. They use world class beans from Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia.
They make use of up to date technology that captures the aroma and the characteristics of a classic brew. They make sure that they deliver that zing you look for when drinking coffee. Unlike other coffee brands,  they give the right amount of coffee and flavor rather than adding too much sugar to cover the taste or just using flavoring.

SUPER COFFE has 5 flavors to choose from. 
Brown Sugar, Salted Caramel, Toffee Caramel, White Coffee Brown Sugar, Roasted Hazelnut.
I was able to taste the HAZELNUT and the SALTED CARAMEL.

I was honestly impressed with the flavor they deliver. The Iced Hazelnut tasted somewhat similar to an international branded coffee. I loved it. Think 7 Php compared to a 160 Php drink.

We also had a blind taste test and the results were quite interesting. Without naming brands, we were able to deduce that SUPER COFFEE gives off a preferred taste.
