Queso de Bola Cheesecake of Indulgence by Irene

Indulgence by Irene’s Queso de Bola Cheesecake has been the talk of some of our foodie friends for weeks now.  So, it’s easy for me to write about it by reiterating that yes, it has created quite a stir especially to most of the foodies I know.  But that is already a given fact.

So instead, allow me to get personal by saying that the Queso de Bola Cheesecake of Indulgence by Irene was one of the most challenging food I have ever photographed. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with that statement, I have reasons, if you read on, you will know. I promise.

Uratex Ready-Wrap Containers

Of the many household brands I grew up with, Uratex is definitely one of those I consider synonymous to good quality.  Our family relocated for quite a number of times already and we still find ourselves sleeping on the quality mattresses bearing the same brand.  Our mono block chairs at home have witnessed countless of gatherings especially if there weren’t enough chairs available for our guests.  We are talking about years of service here, so I guess it is safe to say that products like that spells durability and comfort.

When our friends at Uratex sent some samples of their Ready-Wrap Containers, I did not hesitate to feature it here at YedyLicious, since I am happy with the economical solution it provided me in terms of storing and packaging.  I used it during the time I hosted a mini picnic for my nephew and I am still using it now for some stuff which would otherwise haphazardly occupy valuable space on our pantry.

Real Culinary Art Begins at ISTITUTO CULINARIO

Last Saturday, February 18, 2012 the newest and most innovative culinary institution, Istituto Culinario officially opened its door by celebrating its inauguration night filled with fun, good food, and excitement.

Held at its affiliated restaurant Brasserie CiCou of Celebrity Chef Cyrille Soenen, the party started after guests were given a tour of the campus.  I will dish out some scenes during the party on my next blog post, but for now allow me to share with you my passport and have a glimpse of the training ground of our future culinary maestros.

Mary Grace Cafe, Greenbelt 2

I always believe that aesthetic component of a restaurant adds pleasure to the entire dining experience.  I guess that is why I am a sucker for beautiful interiors.  Yet, there are times when dining al fresco sounds rather enticing.  Sadly not all of my favorite restaurants offer outside dining areas.  But the few who does are all impressive. Take for example Tatung’s Café and Bag of Beans.  Good thing that my recent visit to Mary Grace Café at Greenbelt 2 gave me a chance to have an addition to my short list of restaurants with beautiful outdoor dining area.

I was dead set on skipping an afternoon snack that day since my friend D and I were scheduled to attend a dinner.  Yet, upon seeing how lovely the ambiance at Mary Grace Café, we decided otherwise.

My Take on Food at P.F. Chang's in Alabang Town Center

When I wrote about P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Media Launch last month, questions from friends and some readers came rushing in asking me if the dishes they serve were any good. Most of them live far from Alabang Town Center and they wondered if it’s worth the travel hence, they sought opinion. Days after its opening which somehow created a noise in most of social media platform, mixed reactions from people were very apparent.

Some said that the food at P.F. Chang’s Philippines are nowhere near as good as the one they serve in other countries, while the others commented that they are satisfied and happy with it. I have not eaten in any branch of P.F. Chang’s aside from the one in Alabang; so technically, I do not have point of comparison.

If you want a blow by blow comparison of how good P.F. Chang’s here in our country as compare to its other branches, then I cannot give you that as of yet. But if you just want to know my opinion which focuses mainly on food that P.F. Chang’s, particularly in Alabang Town Center serves, then please feel free to read on.
