Whipped Salon is a beauty salon which specializes in sugar waxing and body scrubbing. They have a quaint and vibrant store in three locations, BGC, Alabang and Quezon City. I partnered with them for me to try their services so you'll have an idea what to expect.


Sugaring or sugar waxing is a hair removal method similar to waxing. The only difference is that sugar waxing uses a sugaring paste which can be applied to the skin on room temperature, unlike with waxing that uses hot/warm wax.

Zomato invited me to another exciting event, the first ever Zomato Food Run. Basically, it's quite similar to a food crawl, but the main difference is that we are crossing 3 different cities and trying out dishes from 5 different restaurants . We're trying to conquer 3 prominent foodie location, BGC, Makati and Paranaque.

After a nice yoga workout session at Life Yoga, you'll definitely crave for something to fill up your tummy. But the idea of fast food will make you cringe because you've put up so much work into that yoga session to waste it by binge-eating on foods that does not help with your fitness goals.


Luckily, Vibe Cafe is literally beside the Life Yoga Studio. They serve healthy meals and drinks that will complement all the workout you've exerted in their studio. You will never feel guilty because their meals were designed to make you full, while giving you a dose of macro nutrients that your body actually needs after that hot yoga sesh.


Vibe Cafe is a quiant cafe located beside (inside as well!) the Life! Yoga studio. It is a  one stop quick shop for health buffs (of hungry foodies as well!) who has a grumbling stomach after an intense workout. I was invited to try out their dishes before they go fully announce it to the public. They were on soft opening when I visited them.

Zomato invited me to 121 Resto Bar and Grill for their first ever Zomato Quiz Night. I've been to other quiz nights before and I must say it was one fun activity. So when I received the invite, I was stoked and immediately said yes.

121 Resto Bar and Grill is known for their "kanta rooms" or rooms where you can sing with friends while enjoying good food. They currently have 5 braches and their newest branch is in the newly renovated Bonifacio Stopover. The BGC branch is a bit small and compact. They have 2 kanta rooms, a common area inside for dining and an al fresco area. 121 Resto Bar and Grill is not a KTV place, but a bar that serves food and drinks. They have themed nights as well in different branches like poetry night, acoustic nights, open mic and of course quiz nights.

121 Retso Bar and Grill warmly welcomed us foodies from Zomato for a night of fun and games. I think there were more than 20 foodies who came and participated in the quiz night. Here are some of the dishes we munched on to get our brains pumping for the quiz night:

Christmas Season is not only the season of giving but also considered the season of drinking and being merry! And with every Filipino gathering, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin is always present at any given occasion. Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin is a consistent favorite because of its smooth and refreshing end note with citrus essences of juniper berries.

To highlight Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin as a World-Class Filipino Gin, they launched the Premium Gin Journey with several of their partnered establishments in the Metro.

It was a warm welcome when the Gifted team invited us for a light snack to introduce a new way to gift gifts, specially this holiday season. Gifted.ph is an online retail website that utilizes gift certificates to be sent out as personalized gifts. Gifted chose Stella Wood fire Bistro as the place to held their event.

A lot of pubs have opened around BGC area, catering to the ever busy young professionals in Taguig. With their hectic day, a lot of them have been gravitated towards pubs at the end of the day to unwind  with the company of comfort food and drinks as they wrap up their busy day.

Pablo's Pub and Restaurant is tucked between the array of specialty Asian Restaurants in The Forum building. Their interiors are inspired by European pubs (or a gentleman's pub) which will want you to sink yourself in the couch and drink the night blues away.


In line with their anniversary, Pablo's is revamping their signature burgers to make your dining (and drinking) experience more comforting. Pablo's opened its doors to us, Zomato reviewers as they unveil their new and improved signature burgers. Here are a few of the signature burgers that we tried that night:

One of the most common problem faced by a woman is unwanted hair. Hair naturally grows in areas of our body, but if it grows on places that are more visible like legs, face and pits, it affects our overall aesthetic appearance.

Hairy pits, arms, legs and bushy areas have not been what we imagined visible on girls or women. Blame it to vanity and hygienic compulsion, every girl wanted to look pristine without that hint of hair.


Hair salons and aesthetic center such as HairX, a newly opened hair removal salon in BGC, have aimed to make the hair removal process easy and worry free. They utilize the newest technology and up to date practices that make the hair removal process almost pain-free.

The Palace Manila is the hottest place in Bonifacio Glocal City. It is owned by a group of friends who share the same ideals. You may have heard of the famous club,Valkyrie which is one of the go-to party place inside The Palace Manila.


Cafe Naya is one of the newest restaurant to open at The Palace Manila. It has a Mediterranean feel which will make you think of rainforests, sea and summer. Cafe Naya is one of the brilliant brainchild of Erwan Huesaff and Chef Mikko Reyes. Remember how you love Hungry Hound and Niner Ichi Nana? You'll also get to love the lighter and vibrant Cafe Naya.



I was invited to their media event to introducing the place to the public. They just opened a month ago and I was lucky (again!) that I'll meet Erwan and Chef Mikko.

If you ask me, I always dream of going to Paris. Paris, in my vivid imagination seems to be an aesthetically attractive city in terms of the structures, environment, the French people and also their cuisine. French cuisine seemed to be more delicate but notable.


Le Jardin is a new French restaurant that opened at the penthouse of W 5th building. It has a garden theme which transports you back to the streets of Paris. It is owned by French Chef Gils Brault, known for his restaurant in Vietnam. Chef Hasset Go and Chef Jonas Ng are the people who convinced Chef Gils to put up Le Jardin here in the country.

As I stepped inside the restaurant, I can't help but stand in awe as how pretty the place was. It has a tasteful interior which any girl would instantly gush for. We were greeted by Operations Manager and happily toured us around the place.


We were briefed that we'll be trying their degustation menu. Chef Jonas mentioned that they didn't want to call it degustation because their menu and concept is a bit different than the normal degustation menu. One glance at the menu, their prices were a bit hefty, so my expectations of the food is a bit high as well.

Zhu Kitchen is a small kitchenette located at the heart of BGC. Managed by Chef Karl, a former veteran, he had turned Zhu Kitchen as a laid back place to dine with the whole family.

I was invited for a Zomato meetup, where foodies and Zomads convene to talk about, of course, food. I enjoy attending these foodie meetups because I get to bond with fellow foodies and share with them a lot of things. Chef Karl has shared a lot of war stories that were admirable. It was a joyful event with a sumptioous spread.

Sports bar and bistros have conquered Bonifacio Global City. A lot of innovative restaurants have sprouted from all corners of BGC. Foodies like me are rejoicing for more options to try to satisfy our hungry tummies.

I have this love-hate relationship with Thai cuisine. While I loved a good Pad Thai and Khao Pad, I just didn't have an inkling with curry based dishes. The selection of restaurants that offer authentic Thai food are beginning to shape up,for a lot of Thai restaurants have been opening in the Metro. Just Thai was one of my great new discoveries.


Just Thai have been in Burgos Circle for quite a while, I just didn't notice it much. I have been always distracted by other restaurants in the area (such as Wrong Ramen) that I wasn't able to discern that there is a quaint Thai restaurant there. I only know one Thai restaurant in BGC (Silk Road), which just opened this year.

It was the day that typhoon Glenda was about to hit the Metro. While everyone's busy preparing for the impending calamity, I was enjoying myself consuming authentic Thai Food with the company of few food bloggers. Here are the dishes we had:

Bonifacio Global City is slowly shaping its scenery, catering to the hungry tastebuds of foodies. With a lot of restaurants sprawled in hectares of land developed by Ayala, It's rounding up to become a foodie haven ranging for budget friendly and upscale restaurants.

The Fort Strip is known for as a "strip" of Gastropub and lounges. Little do you know, there are a lot of restaurants that serves comfort food within the area. Bloggers were invited to Sunshine Kitchen, a quaint restaurant at The Fort Strip, to try their menu and best sellers.


Sunshine Kitchen is located at the second floor at The fort strip. It is tucked carefully at the corner of the strip with a wide glass window overlooking the space below. One step at Sunshine Kitchen, you'll be transported to an open kitchen in one of the Western loft apartments.

Their interiors are vibrant and full of light which holds true to it's name, Sunshine Kitchen. You'll be welcomed with brick walls, creatively placed hanging plants and lightbulbs, wooden chairs and tables and their open (separated by clear glass) kitchen. It exudes a homey atmosphere.


Sunshine Kitchen opens at lunchtime (11AM-2PM). We arrived just as the lunch hour's about to end. We met Tanya, the chef and part owner of Sunshine Kitchen.We got to see her in action, in the kitchen, preparing the dishes we were about to try.

Soshi and I decided to have lunch at Kuse Crossroads BGC before heading out on a wedding at San Pedro Laguna. The wedding is set at 2:00PM and we were already starving by the time we stepped out the blaring sun.

Stacy's is neatly tucked in one of the buildings near the Mind Museum. The store has that fun and bright vibe, splashed with colors, which would be mistaken as a children's store. Angelique is a props stylist while Abby is a food stylist which they both incorporated into the theme of the store, no wonder the store is aesthetically pretty.


Stacy's is an all-day breakfast place which serves comfort food. Here are some of the things we tried:


This is Stacy's version of the Filipino Breakfast staple, Tapsilog. Their Tapa is made of marinated yakiniku beef strips which was so soft and yummy.
