Living in Rizal for almost a decade now, we seldom visit Cavite, let alone, go on a food trip in the province. So when Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park in Kawit invited me to try their new menu, I was ecstatic to  give it a go! I am not really familiar with the specialties of the province but I was sure that it would not only taste good but colored with the Cavite’s rich heritage.  And this is precisely what Island Cove’s “Taste Cavite” menu would like to showcase to its patrons. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday starting November 18 and daily starting December 22, 2016, this special menu will be available at the hotel’s Fishing Village.

So, are you ready to go on a virtual Cavite culinary tour with me? Let’s begin…

We start our tour of Cavite in Kawit where Island Cove is loca...

I remember back in February, while I was confined for a minor medical procedure at the Antipolo Doctors Hospital, Alex mentioned to me that he ate at a steak and ribs place just in front of the hospital. He promised to take me there and he did. I loved the place not only because of their juicy steak but also because of its colorful, yet homey, vibe. The place was Beeffalo by Hotrocks Antipolo. Fast forward to October, and I finally get to try dining at its original branch, Beeffalo by Hotrocks Marikina, and I was even more satisfied.

The city of Marikina has become famous for its hole in the wall food spots but we seldom get the chance to dine there. I was kind of surprised that Beeffalo was located right at the end of Gil Fernando Avenue, a long road that stretches back to Marcos Highw...

Living in a town that’s so far from the sea or even a river, we often have to make do with frozen seafood products. Thus, the bangus (milkfish) has become a regular in our fridge. It used to be a hit and miss for me as I would end up buying unfresh frozen bangus that make my tongue itch. And that happened even when I meticulously checked the expiration date. Now, I only buy Sarangani Bay Prime Bangus products to be sure that I only get our favorite bangus that’s still fresh even when frozen.

Weeks ago, the generous people behind Sarangani Bay Prime Bangus sent us an icebox filled with frozen milkfish goodies and I couldn’t be any happier.  You see, I have been seriously dieting for weeks now (lost 26 pounds to date!) and I now prefer eating fish over pork or beef...

Veteran actor and TV show host, “Bossing” Vic Sotto, has stood as an icon for countless brands. From homecare supplies to local beverage products, Vic’s charismatic appeal and conviction has propelled corporations, as well as himself, into a level of unmatched reliability.

Vic has consistently lived-up to his “Bossing” moniker, as an authority and someone whom Filipinos trust for everyday products. This time, the comedian partners with Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI)—the second largest poultry integrator locally—as the newest brand endorser of Chooks-to-Go, the country’s leading and fastest-growing oven-roasted chicken chain with more than a thousand storess nationwide.

With its “Hindi ka Nag-Uuwi ng Ulam na Basta-basta Lang” campaign, built on the premise of being “Mas...
