Taste of China: ZONG

Contrary to the 90's boyband LFO's hit song; Chinese food definitely does not make me sick.

Here I am in another foodtrip adventure with my foodtrip buddy Coolai.

Zong BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

Branch: Fort Pointe Building, Fort Square Plaza, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City

For reservation: 02 8890472

When it comes to its ambiance, Zong is an upgrade to Mann Hann and North Park. The place is really nice and spacious too.

Accordingly, the name Zong is actually the Tibetan word for "county", and true enough the place create a homey vibe for the foodies that leads you gastronomical journey through China's rich history and culture.

Having Chefs friends, I know of Zong's reputation, their head chef, Chef Onno is known for being the best when it comes to oriental cuisines.

Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Metro, and I can't wait to visit them again and try the other food in the menu.

 It's always a Kodak-moment whenever I am with this sweet lady.

Best stories are shared during meal time. And yes- you release those inhibitions and become really comfortable just releasing all those hang ups.

Until our next foodtrip adventure,

Live a Little Bit!

Cafe Republiq

Newport Mall
2/F Resorts World Manila, Newport Mall, Newport Blvd

Pasay

(0917) 550-8888
A good meeting area before going clubbing to Opus or Republiq. This is Cafe Republiq!

You won't really notice this wonder even if you are regular of Newport Mall. I mean, primarily people visit this area for casino and this is the home of the country's premier clubspot REPUBLIQ!

Coolai and I decided to go clubbing this particular weekend, and since we were too early for the club's opening, we decided to conveniently have a quick bite and drink a little beside the club. And this is how I came to know more about this Cafe! hahaha.

Let the good times roll!

Our Order:

DIPS & CRISPS: Spinach and Parmesan Cheese Gratin at PhP200.00

SALAD: Chpped Chicken, corn, tomato greens, peanuts & sesame vinaigrette at PhP335.00

QUESADILLAS:  Roast Chicken, fresh cilantro, fire roasted tomato salsa and cheese PhP240.00

We were suppose to hang out and just kill time in this Cafe before hitting the club but we ended up finishing 2 bottles of wine. I'd say you won't really notice the time if you enjoy the company of your friends and a good setting to back it up!

Until our next adventure, and yes "Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting"

Foodtrippin with Coolai

We don't just enjoy parties and clubbing, we are also "twosome" foodies. After our Beach escapade, Coolai and I met up for some food adventure.

Personally, before I hit the (buffet) table, I set a fitness goal – typically, one hour of fitness (be it running on a treadmill or lifting some not so heavy weights) then I knew I deserve some carb-loading session.

Our Destination:
Shakeys: Shell Pasong Tamo Branch

Shell Pasong Tamo corner Mola St.,Makati City
Metro Manila, Philippines

And that much needed coffee and tea after that sinful meal
