Everyday home solutions from Urban Kitchen

We love holding parties at home, especially when we started living in our own home. There’s this certain sense of pride that I feel when guests give us compliments. I also love cooking for our guests and serving food using my own collection of ceramic and glass dishes. It gets boring, though, when you get to use the same dishes in every event so I really make it a point to buy a few new ones when the budget permits.

Urban Kitchen makes this task easy for me. At its recently held, “Chill in The City” event, Urban Kitchen launched “easy living” and “easy entertaining” solutions for the modern home. I was blessed to be invited at the event where I personally saw Urban Kitchen’s array of quality kitchen and tableware products. The items are made of unbreakable plastic and are very trendy and stylish.

Streetfood Trippin’ at Old Chang Kee in Singapore

For our recent trip to Singapore, my boy did his research and specifically concentrated on finding the best hawker centers in town. Aside from finding about Kopitiam, he was also able to read about Old Chang Kee. Luckily, we passed by the stall along North Bridge Road just across Funan Digitalife Mall so we bought some of their bestsellers for snacks back at our hotel.

Jollibee Amazing Aloha is back!

I think it was a month ago when I first read about Anthony Bourdain‘s raves for Jollibee’s Amazing Aloha. The feature was shot in a branch of Jollibee in California for the show, Parts Unknown. Then I realized, I miss the Amazing Aloha! When was the last time I had one? I can’t even remember.

Online petitions were then started for Jollibee to bring back the Amazing Aloha. A Facebook page, with 5K+ likes as of this writing, was even set up to urge Jollibee to bring  the Amazing Aloha back. Lo and behold, those who crave for Jollibee Amazing Aloha have prevailed.

Finally, after 4 long years, Jollibee is bringing back the Amazing Aloha! It will be available in all Jollibee stores nationwide starting tomorrow, May 15, 2013!
