With all the time spent at home with the fam, I’m glad I was able to find the opportunity to reacquaint the kiddos to our rich culinary heritage.
This initiative was greatly helped by my mother-in-law when she treated her kids and their respective families to a Pinoy-style merienda during her recent birthday by having local delicacies from Ferino’s Bibingka delivered to our respective homes.
Bibingka is kind of kakanin or rice cake made with galapong (glutinous rice flour) and cooked in clay pots lined with banana leaves. While it can be enjoyed year-round, bibingka is especially popular during the holiday season; it is the go-to food to be enjoyed after Misa de Gallo.
Ferino’s Bibingka started in pre-war Tondo, Manila when Ceferino Francisco, Sr. (also known as Mang Ferino) starter selling bibingka and puto bumbong on the sidewalk outside their rented apartment. The business grew after the war, such as when they opened Ferino’s Cafe in the Manila Hotel in the 1950s, another branch at the Fiesta Carnival in Cubao in the 1970s and more afterwards.
Most of these stores closed down with Mang Ferino’s passing but the Ferino’s Bibingka brand was revived by his grandson, Sonny Francisco, who began to operate bibingka dine-in and takeout stores in 2016.
Ferino’s Bibingka’s storied dishes made their way to our table by way of the Family Set 1 (Php880) sent by MIL as her birthday blowout. This set consisted of:
Bibingka Extra Super. Pure galapong mixed with two fresh eggs, topped with salted eggs and kesong-puti.
Pancit Palabok (Small Bilao). A traditional Filipino noodle dish which is made with round rice noodles doused in a gold-colored savory sauce topped with shrimp, crushed chicharon (pork rind), slices of hard-boiled egg and chopped green onions.
Pork Barbecue (6pieces). This popular Pinoy street food of pork barbecue consists of slices of pork skewered on bamboo sticks, marinated in sweet and savory barbecue sauce then grilled to smokey and tender doneness.
Palitaw sa Linga. Another kakanin which is made of flattened ground glutinous rice which are dropped in boiling water. The rice cakes rise up to the surface (“litaw“) when cooked which is how the dish got its name. It is served dipped in grated coconut, with a side of sugar and sesame seeds (“linga“).
Thanks to MIL, the fam was able to explore the richness of our local cuisine!
One of the things I miss about my pre-pandemic workplace is its proximity to many interesting places to grab a bite.
Tomas Morato is home to many restaurants that offer distinct dining experiences to diners with various interests.
High Grounds Cafe along Rallos Street, for example, offers high end PC gaming services and high speed internet connection catering mainly to gamers. It offers coffee-based drinks and desserts as well as comfort food to nourish its customers as they play PC games, browse online or do their remote work.
My experience here, however, was strictly for dining. As a despedida for my previous boss, practically the entire team came together unexpectedly for one of our famous happy lunches.
It’s fortunate that High Grounds Cafe boasts of spacious and sprawling premises and a well-trained kitchen staff as it was able to accommodate our sizable group.
Our orders included:
Starters.
Pulled Chicken Nachos (Php280). Tortilla chips tossed with pulled grilled chicken, tomatoes, pickled jalapeno, cornichons, onions, topped with melted mozzarella and silantro oil.
Crispy Catfish Mango Salad (Php250). Catfish flakes mixed with green mango, lettuce, nuts, tomatoes, carrots, shallots, cucumber, cilantro and authentic Nuoc Cham dressing.
Pastas.
Salted Egg Carbonara (Php320). Pasta tossed in bacon carbonara sauce flavored with salted egg.
Beef Stroganoff (Php380). Made with seared beef strips and button mushrooms in a creamy stroganoff sauce.
Mains.
Grilled Salmon (Php520). Herb-seasoned salmon pieces, grilled then served with succotash potato puree.
Ponzu Salmon (Php520). Fresh salmon served with yuzu kasha aoili, kobacha puree, ponzu shallots and shimeji.
Fish and Chips (Php320). Cobbler fish pieces battered and deep-fried then served with fries and tartar sauce.
US Pork Ribs (Php380). Marinated and barbecued US riblets served with Java Rice.
Cajun Pork Belly (Php420). Pork belly marinated in Cajun seasoning and cooked sous vide.
Peri Peri Chicken (Php395). Boneless half chicken marinated in Portuguese style peri-peri sauce served with Cajun jalapeno aioli, mango salsa and dirty rice.
Country Style Fried Chicken (Php360). Boneless half chicken battered, breaded then deep-fried to a crispy golden brown served with steamed rice.
Grilled Chicken BBQ (Php395). Boneless half chicken marinated in homemade barbecue sauce served with Java Rice.
I found High Grounds’ fresh takes on well-known dishes interesting and well worth some repeat visits.
However, the pandemic struck and it had to halt its operations for a few months.
It recently reopened for dine in with protocols in place for the New Normal.
While I’m not looking forward to going back to work in the office (I’m loving my work-from-home setup too much!), I am looking forward to dining safely with my coworkers here for another happy lunch.
High Grounds Cafe is located at 67 Scout Rallos Street, Sacred Heart, Quezon City, open daily from 8am to 12 midnight. For reservations and inquiries, call +63 2 8880 2037.
As we near the end of the tumultuous year of 2020, we should celebrate whatever joy and success we were able to wrest for ourselves, right?
After all, while there may have been many upheavals this year, we still made it through.
So let’s celebrate in grand style, shall we? Here are four reasons why we should do so at New World Makati Hotel’s Cafe 1228.
1) You can dine-in luxuriously.
The restaurant’s sprawling, airy and well-appointed premises are sure to get you in the mood to linger awhile, spending time with family and friends over good food.
2) You can dine-in safely.
With the restaurant’s recent reopening, it already adopted safety procedures and protocols for the New Normal under New World Makati Hotel Commitment to Care Care Health and Safety Program. The hotel, including all of its restaurants and facilities, are in compliance with the standards of its international owning company, Rosewood Hotel Group. Further intensified sanitation and safety protocols are set in place guided by the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. More details on this program here.
Foremost among these standards involves Cafe 1228 revamping its dining-in concept from an all-you-can-eat buffet to one that’s more in line with the New Normal: an order-all-you-can ala carte service.
Instead of filling your plate as you go from station to station, you instead select your choices from a well-curated list of Western and regional fare. You can order anything that’s on the menu as often as you can during dining hours.
3) You can dine-in deliciously.
Cafe 1228 brings the ultimate feast to discriminating diners. Your orders from the menu are all prepared ala minute and served to you at your table in solo portions, fresh and hot from the restaurant’s five cooking stations.

Fresh seafood cooked in five ways. Shrimps, clams, and blue crabs cooked with a choice of garlic butter, salt and pepper, Singaporean style, in white wine sauce or baked with garlic and cheese.
Pizzas and pastas, all cooked to order. Get a taste of Italy with pizzas such as Frutti de Mare, Parma Ham with Feta Cheese, Mushroom and Four Cheese, Margherita, and Mediterranean Vegetable. Have al dente spaghetti or penne noodles served with your choice from pesto cream, puttanesca, marinara and carbonara sauces.
Regional and local faves from Japanese, Chinese and Pinoy cuisines. Have a food trip around the country and Asia with assorted sashimi and sushi rolls, Wok-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Pork Buns and Lechon Belly Rice.
Appetizers and salads to pair with mains. Start your meal with Jamon Serrano with Manchego on Toast or with Toast topped with Parma Ham, Burnt Peach and Goat Cheese Foam.
Sugary treats for dessert lovers. End your meal on a sweet note with a wide variety of confections that include Chocolate Truffle Cake, Spiced Chocolate Pecan Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, Mixed Berry Trifle, Bread and Butter Pudding and Puto Bumbong.
Refreshing beverages of your choice. Take your pick from among fresh fruit and vegetable juices, healthy drinks, smoothies, icy teas and beers.
This ultimate feast is available for lunch from Thursdays to Sundays and dinner from Thursdays to Saturdays. The dining outlet will also be open all week from 21-27 December 2020 due to popular demand.

How about gifting your nears-and-dears with a box of Ben’s Cookies?
From its beginnings in 1983 as a stall in UK’s Oxford Covered Market, Ben’s Cookies have extended its reach to the Philippines when it opened its first store in The Podium Mall in July 2019, followed by branches in SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall. It brought with its those signature palm-sized pieces of moist and chewy delights made with chunks – not chips – of premium chocolate, unsalted butter, wheat flour, fresh eggs, cane sugar and nuts, all freshly baked everyday.

Krispy Kreme’s box for its half-dozen donuts says it all: six reasons to smile.
What a welcome respite because for many of us who are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic and the resulting quarantine to our lives, there seems to be not a lot of reasons to break out into a grin.
So, during our recent errand run in Greenhills, Hubby and I picked up a Box of 6 Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed (OG) donuts (Php225) to bring home some joy for the fam.
While Krispy Kreme offers a multitude of donut variants, the fam would always gravitate towards the OGs. My fam is no exception to the appeal of their simple presentation, soft and fluffy texture and straightforward sweetness.
Whether enjoyed as an after-meal treat or as part of coffee break, Krispy Kreme’s OGs hits the spot!
Taking inspiration from its box, I present to you six reasons to smile from Krispy Kreme (aside from the donuts, themselves). So here are some nuggets from Krispy Kreme’s storied past which might bring a smile to your face.
1. Starting over.
When their general store in Paducah, Kentucky where the original donuts were sold suffered during the Great Depression in 1934, brothers Vernon and Lewis Rudolph and their uncle Ishmael Armstrong moved to Nashville, Tennessee where they focused on selling their donuts under “The Krispy Kreme Doughnut Company.” Can you imagine if they just gave up after their first taste of failure?
2. Get ’em hot!
Rudolph opened his first store in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1937. While mainly selling his donuts to convenience stores, he also sold hot donuts – fresh from the production line – to customers who came during production time between midnight and 4am. I guess, night owls in those times were lucky indeed!
Well, soon, with a surge in demand, hot donuts were soon on offer throughout the day. In 1992, the first “Hot Doughnuts Now” lights were installed in stores to signal to customers that a fresh batch of donuts are ready to be enjoyed.
3. Donuts for a good cause.
Starting in 1955, schools, clubs and churches ordered donuts by bulk for reselling. Doing so has allowed these organization to raise funds for uniforms, school trips, libraries and more.
Well, helping the local schools get what they need was just one more reason to buy donuts!
4. Switch to automation.
Until 1963, Krispy Kreme donuts were made by hand. That changed when the company switched to automation, enabling its output to grow with the demand.
5. Shaping up.
In 2000, Krispy Kreme broke away from making its usual round donuts by playing around with different shapes. The heart-shaped donuts enjoyed quite a bit of popularity, with orders peaking around Valentine’s Day.
6. Flash your card for perks
If you get a Krispy Kreme OG card, you get a free box of 6 OG donuts after activation. You also get additional perks such as a free free box of 6 OG donuts for every purchase of a dozen OGs, a free box of 3 OGs on your birth month, as well as exclusive invites to Krispy Kreme events and first dibs on item releases, among others.
Well, I hope this list helped in making you smile today. Keep on smiling: we’ll get through all the trials we’ve been facing and better times will come!
To get your box of donuts, call +63 2 88879000, order online or via GrabFood, FoodPanda, LalaFood, OrderMo, Groover and Mangan.
There are flavors that you encountered in your childhood that would always bring good memories. These flavors remind you of simpler and carefree days spent with family and friends.
With Nestle: the Chuckie Soft Serve (Php95 in cone or cup). Remember that chocolatey buddy that powered up recess time? Imagine it as a rich and chocolatey soft-serve ice cream with an extra shot of chocolate goodness!
With Pepsi Cola: the Root Beer Float Soft-Serve (Php95 in cone or cup). Instead of the a dollop of vanilla ice cream floating on a mug of ice-cold root beer, what you get is root beer infused soft-serve ice cream, also with an extra shot of chocolate syrup.
These imaginative takes on childhood faves simply show the infinite possibilities that the Lost Bread can bring to ice cream lovers.
The last time I was able to enjoy some ice cream time at The Lost Bread was in that halcyon period before the quarantine. While some of its outlets have ceased operations have ceased operations since then, its branches in SM Megamall, Evia Lifestyle Center, Robinsons Manila, SM Marilao, Vista Mall Malolos and SM Dasmarinas are still open.
It also delivers its ice cream by the pint via its delivery website – order.thelostbread.com.
There are plenty of reasons why our home-grown fast-food chain Jollibee remains unbeaten by international giants that set up operations here.
For many Pinoys, the tastes and textures from this unassuming restaurant chain that they enjoyed and grew up with continue to hold pride of place in their hearts and palates. From its ice cream sundaes that parents treat their toddlers to, the uniquely Pinoy-style spaghetti that graces birthday celebrations, to the crispy and juicy fried chicken that teenagers on their first dates enjoy, Jollibee has been serving up tasty and affordable fast-food well-suited to Pinoy tastebuds through the years.
The quarantines brought about by the pandemic may have curtailed the busy mealtimes at Jollibee branches frequented by friends and family, but fortunately, they can still enjoying their fast food faves by ordering for delivery.
That’s what I did one lazy Sunday afternoon as the fam was enjoying our individual pursuits: myself binge-watching on Netflix, Hubby monitoring the news on the US elections and the kids cooped up in their rooms. When the delivery arrived, we all came together to grab a bite and catch up.
I treated myself to my favorite snack – a Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog Value Meal (Php83). The Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog consists of a juicy and meaty sausage encased in a hotdog bun, topped with special dressing, grated cheese and tomato ketchup. While other iterations of the Jolly Hotdog have been launched over the years, I remain loyal to this original version. The value meal comes with regular Coke and regular fries.
For Hubby, I got an Amazing Aloha Yumburger with Drink (Php109). Considering the man does not like mixing sweets with savory, I’m amazed that this burger made with Jollibee’s Yumburger beef patty topped with a pineapple slice, crispy bacon strips and melted cheese encased in a burger bun would appeal to him.
For the kiddos, I got Peach Mango (Php98 for a three-piece Pies-to-Go set) and two pieces of Buko Pie (Php33/piece). These pocket pies are made with fruit filling encased in puff pastry then deep-fried until the crust turns crispy and golden brown.
For a few precious moments that afternoon, the whole fam took a break and got together to share a bite. #SarapKasamaAngPamilya, indeed!
