Swift Premium Corned Beef: Slow-Cooked and Cured to Perfection #MmmTakesTime

Recently I got a package filled with Swift Premium Corned Beef for me to try. It is said that it boasts of slow-cooked and cured to perfection process that makes the beef not just downright tender but impressively flavorful as well. Sounds promising.

I live in the mountain and slow cooking is pretty much common here not just to wile away time but to ensure the quality and flavor of food as well. So it is safe to say that although not religiously, it is still something I advocate.  So I have high hopes not to mention expectation for this product. 

Honestly, this is my first time to try Swift brand for my corned beef fix. I have few favorites and my family is pretty much loyal to the local brand we have been using. But as with some things in life, it wouldn't hurt to try something new - as a matter of fact, it can be rewarding at times.

Shakey’s Pizza Philippines, in celebration of its 40th year, is proud to announce that they recently conquered the Guinness World Records!  Now this good news relayed to us by some of our friends from Shakey’s Philippines I deem well worth sharing. So let me give you some brief info about this awesome news before I head straight to the recent visit I had at Shakey’s Pizza.

The challenge which comes from The Guinness World Records and The History Channel is all about eating a 12 inch pizza in the fastest amount of time. With the aid of one brave soul named Kevin Medina, a Shakey’s Pizza aficionado, they were able to beat the existing record and emerged on top.

Caruso Ristorante Italiano, Makati City

Caruso Ristorante Italiano, a fine dining Italian restaurant in Makati City is one of those which have stayed under the radar for years now. Yet, its silence does not mean that it lacks the things well worth raving. As a matter of fact, it is pretty popular among Italians living here in our country and it already has another branch located in Boracay.

Italian restaurants here in the Philippines, particularly in Manila are aplenty. There are some which swears by its authenticity with the land in which it hails from while the others played the tweaking challenge in order to suit locals' palate. Caruso is one of those which remains true to the Italian food form.

A fine dining place that boasts of high quality and great tasting food, impeccable service, and impressive ambiance, Caruso is slowly making its way to the band of restaurants currently making wave in the world wide web, all thanks to some bloggers whose raves are really hard not to notice. I figured it's also time for me to check this place out.

The Little House of Cheesecakes and More [Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series]

I chanced upon Little House of Cheesecakes and More in Antipolo City while I was working on a write up for one of the food magazines I am writing for. Situated at the new commercial complex that boasts of new restaurants and food stores near Ynares Center in Antipolo, The Little House of Cheesecakes is not really hard to locate.

The name may imply that the store sells different kinds of cheesecakes you could ever imagine. I myself, was under that impression. Yet, my visit opened my eyes to this wonderful little world of well yes, cheesecakes - and then some. That includes one of my most favorite things in the world - books.

I notice that there is a sudden wave of new restaurants opening in Antipolo City and as a blogger, it really makes me happy. So, in continuing with my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series for YedyLicious, let us talk about The Little House of Cheesecakes and More (LHCM).

Lee Hak BBQ Buffet Korean Restaurant, Kapitolyo Pasig

Recent cravings for Korean food led us to Lee Hak Legendary Korean Restaurant along Pioneer St. in Kapitolyo Pasig to avail their BBQ Buffet offerings one afternoon. Lee Hak specializes in an eat-all-you-can Korean BBQ in a sit-down setting. No need to stand up and fetch your own food, food attendants will cater to your needs.

However, that set up is soon going to change, as we were told. Let me get to that later as we go along this blog post.

I am currently under Korean food spell which is making me crazy because Korean restaurants nor Korean food stores aren't easy to come by in our area (or perhaps I haven't really scouted enough?) So, whenever I have the liberty to leave the mountainous east, I make it a point to drag my excited ass out somewhere that smells Korean food.
