										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you always end up at boring tourist-filled bars when traveling? Enough is enough! It’s time to learn how to find the best spots that most tourists guides leave out of their itinerary and have a great time while traveling.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask your favorite bartender</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re friendly with your bartender, don’t hesitate to ask them for some recommendations. Many bartenders have a sizable group of connections in the industry, so they know what to recommend. No matter how distant and obscure your destination is, there’s a good chance that your bartender will know someone who knows someone who tended an amazing little bar there that serves </span><a href="https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/drinks/recipes/a3837/mojito-drink-recipe/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">great mojitos</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask your hotel staff</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most workers at hotels know their destination to the T, so don’t hesitate to ask them about a good spot to have a craft beer or a good cocktail bar. If you’re lucky, you’ll come across a staff member who’s a fan of bars themselves, so you can get the best recommendations.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask social media for an opinion</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You probably have a few hundred Facebook friends, Instagram followers and Twitter followers. So, why not use that huge amount of people to gather some great info on your destination? If you’re visiting a destination, there’s a great chance some of your friends were there as well. If you’re looking to taste some good whiskey in Australia, there’s a great chance at least one of your friends visited a </span><a href="https://archierose.com.au/experiences/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">whiskey distillery like Archie Rose</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and had a great time. They will be happy to recommend the place to you and tell you about the must-try blends and fun events and experiences. While social media is often full of negativity, if you know how to use different platforms properly, you can find many useful tips.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Befriend locals</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one knows as much about best dive spots, bars and clubs than locals! So, make sure to communicate with people from your destination, and most of them will be happy to recommend a good spot to a friendly and polite tourist. There are also </span><a href="https://www.producthunt.com/alternatives/party-with-a-local"><span style="font-weight: 400;">apps like Party with a Local</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that allows you to connect with locals who want to share their party experiences with other people. With a local by your side, you’re guaranteed to have a blast!</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t trust Yelp!</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While it might look super practical, Yelp! is really not that useful. Why? Well, it’s extremely subjective and full of bias, since people don’t know how to base their opinions on relevant and realistic criteria. For instance, many people who come to a cheap dive bar expect too much from their whiskey list or from their interior design. However, you can’t really expect a dive bar to offer these things anyway! What a decent dive bar needs to have is cheap yet cold beer, good music and maybe a pool table. While a place containing all of these deserves at least four stars, community-based reviews will give it a two-star rating. It’s simply not realistic!</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t search for a replica of your fave bar at home</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you like the place? Are people there friendly and having a nice time? Are their drinks decent? If yes, stay! Don’t go to a bar filled with all sorts of unrealistic expectations and standards set to you by your favorite bar at home, you’re going to have a bad time and miss out on a world of amazing experiences. When traveling, your goal should be to discover different places, not search for replicas of your local bar at home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you consult your friends, ask some locals for recommendations and scale your expectations, you’re guaranteed to find an amazing bar while traveling. It will surely stay in your best memory, so feel free to visit it again or offer it as a recommendation to other travelers!</span></p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While it’s not an official holiday, Valentine’s Day continues to be a time honored custom for those who want to show extra affection for the people they love. And for those who have a romantic dinner in mind,  Eatigo has listed down below some of the best date places that’ll give you and your date some pretty sweet discounts up to half-off your total bill!</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15731 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo.jpg?resize=417%2C239" alt="" width="417" height="239" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px" />RAMBLA</strong></p>
<p>Kicking off the list is Rambla at Salcedo Village, where romance comes in the form of Quesos, Embutido Ibericos, and a mix of both, the Queso y Embutidos. Tapas Frias are also and the menu, and wine is a must. The place itself is bright, quirky, lush, giving off a casual yet posh vibe for you and your date.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15732 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-2.jpg?resize=415%2C238" alt="Eatigo 2" width="415" height="238" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-2.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-2.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px" />BAR CENTRALE</strong></p>
<p>Nearby you’ll find Bar Centrale, a sleek and industrial bistro ready to serve you some mean Italian dishes. Among the must-tries are the Insalata Caesar, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, and Tiramisu. For drinks, you can’t go wrong with Italian Margaritas. Surely, you’ll have a wonderful time.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15733 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-3.jpg?resize=365%2C209" alt="Eatigo 3" width="365" height="209" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-3.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-3.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px" />MARTIN  PLACE  SOCIAL</strong></p>
<p>If your idea of a Valentines Date is brunch, find your way over to Martin Place Social. Their hearty dishes will win you over, much like the bright and open concept of this place. “Eat. Drink. Inspire,” said their wall art. “Gladly,” we said.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15734 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-4.jpg?resize=363%2C208" alt="Eatigo 4" width="363" height="208" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-4.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-4.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px" />PERRY’S TEA BAR &amp; BAKEHOUSE</strong></p>
<p>Going along the day dates is Perry&#8217;s Tea Bar &amp; Bakehouse, a fancy tea room and restaurant that offers Artisanal loose leaf tea selections, freshly baked bread, and all much more. We love the chic and overall vibe of the place, too.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15735 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-5.jpg?resize=344%2C197" alt="Eatigo 5" width="344" height="197" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-5.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-5.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px" />STONED  STEAKS</strong></p>
<p>We can’t make Valentine’s list that doesn’t have stake in it, and Stoned Steaks definitely needs to be here. Choose between the Angus Steak and Wagyu Steak, and then have your fill of their pasta. Liquors and cocktails are also on the menu, perfectly paired with your dinner.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15736 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-6.jpg?resize=395%2C226" alt="Eatigo 6" width="395" height="226" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-6.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-6.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px" />CHATEAUBRIAND PREMIUM STEAK RESTAURANT</strong></p>
<p>Another good choice would be Chateaubriand Premium Steak Restaurant, a place that gives justice to its namesake. The luxe yet homey ambiance sets a great backdrop for dates, along with their premium steak selections that are enough to make your mouths water. Just let the servers know how you want your steak, and they’ll bring it to you in a well-cooked, truly delicious fashion.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15737 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-7.jpg?resize=389%2C223" alt="Eatigo 7" width="389" height="223" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-7.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-7.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px" />MELO’S STEAKHOUSE </strong></p>
<p>Then we have Melo’s at Westgate Alabang. Their quite known for their own takes on both Angus and Wagyu Beef, so you know you’re in capable hands. Don’t be deceived by the bright pink facade. If what you’re after is a romantic dinner date, this is the place for you.</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15738 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-8.jpg?resize=404%2C231" alt="Eatigo 8" width="404" height="231" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-8.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Eatigo-8.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px" />MULBERRY DOOR</strong></p>
<p>Lastly, there’s Mulberry Door at BGC. They have a Valentine’s Day menu with comes with your choice of soup, main course, and dessert. But if you’d rather sample their daily menu, the Matteo’s lamb burger with homemade taro chips and paella are musts. The restaurant has a beautiful, modern design decked with greeneries, aka, Instagram-worthy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new year means new beginnings, and with new beginnings come new experiences. This year, as you head somewhere you’ve never been, make sure to also visit places you’ve never tried. And yes, we’re talking about our favorite thing of all—food.</p>
<p>Eatigo, your trusty partner for delicious discounts on over a hundred restaurants in the metro, has narrowed it down to five dining holes which are certainly worth your time and buck!</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-15619 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1.png?resize=411%2C221" alt="Eatigo 1" width="411" height="221" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1.png?w=411&amp;ssl=1 411w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1.png?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px" />BUTCHER AND SONS STEAKHOUSE</strong></p>
<p>First on the list is Butcher and Sons Steakhouse, a top-notch European restaurant found in the south of Metro Manila. They serve only an authentic steakhouse experience, complete with boneless and bone-in meat cuts with your choice of flavour, breed, diet, and more. The ambience itself is luxe yet cozy, perfect for intimate dinner dates.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-15620 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2.png?resize=371%2C216" alt="Eatigo 2" width="371" height="216" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2.png?w=371&amp;ssl=1 371w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2.png?resize=300%2C175&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px" />THE COOK BY HONGLEEPARK</strong></p>
<p>For dessert or savory dishes, make your way over to The Cook by Hongleepark, an Italian-Korean fusion place where flavors and ingredients are in abundance. The cheese bingsu is a best-seller, as well as the Spicy Chicken Steak Salad. Oh, and the Shrimp Pilaf is to die for.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-15621 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3.png?resize=366%2C243" alt="Eatigo 3" width="366" height="243" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3.png?w=366&amp;ssl=1 366w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3.png?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px" />KUSINA SEA KITCHENS</strong></p>
<p>For the people behind Kusina Sea Kitchens at Hilton Manila, seafood is a word they do not take lightly. Have the freshest catch of the day cooked to your preferences dampa-style, or savor the interactive buffer counters offering splendid Filipino food. The vibrant space is a preview to the colorful meal you’re about to devour—delicious, varied, and no less than exceptional.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-15622 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4.png?resize=371%2C253" alt="Eatigo 4" width="371" height="253" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4.png?w=371&amp;ssl=1 371w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4.png?resize=300%2C205&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4.png?resize=218%2C150&amp;ssl=1 218w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px" />WYLD KITCHEN AND BAR</strong></p>
<p>A newly-opened American pub serving mean bar chow and equally sinful drinks is WYLD Kitchen and Bar. Their signature cocktails are quite inventive, particularly the Afterglow, Radiculous, and Curry the Painkiller.  They also have the usual beers, vodka, and liqueur if you’re up for something familiar and good.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-15623 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5.png?resize=391%2C223" alt="Eatigo 5" width="391" height="223" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5.png?w=391&amp;ssl=1 391w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5.png?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px" />TORI ICHI YAKITORI AND BAR</strong></p>
<p>For your Japanese fix, Tori Ichi Yakitori and Bar will not disappoint. The casual diner takes after Japan’s izakayas, serving you glorious yakitori sticks and all the best rolls including the crowd-favorite Spicy Salmon Roll and a plate of the addictive Mochi Bacon.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new wave of Korean sweets is now taking over northern Metro Manila as the famous luxury dessert cafe, Kiss the Tiramisu, opens its second branch in the Philippines at Trinoma Mall.</p>
<p>Many sweet toothed Filipino foodies and even those without have fallen in love with Kiss the Tiramisu’s creamy tiramisu soft served ice cream and other sumptuous desserts since the Korean luxury cafe’s debut in the country last year, with the opening of its first branch at Valero in Makati City.</p>
<p>Kiss the Tiramisu is gaining renown for transforming a popular coffee cake into a new masterpiece. The fresh, artisanal menu of the dessert cafe is the brainchild of FTAY Group Company which is composed of friends from military school who decided to team up and redefine the sweets experience.</p>

<p>Shirley Wong, CEO and President of Foodeology Inc. master franchisee in the Philippines said that they came up with the idea of recreating familiar desserts into something different – hence, coining the “foodeology” concept that aimed to enhance dessert dining to a whole new level.</p>
<p>It was usual to get long queues for a cup in the dessert café’s 14 branches all over South Korea. Today, Kiss the Tiramisu is becoming the go-to treat for more people as the brand grows its global franchise across China, Canada, Malaysia, Philippines, and the luxury café is also soon to open in Paris.</p>
<p>Kiss the Tiramisu’s Classic Tiramisu Ice Cream is a fresh take on what tiramisu ice cream is all about. The thick, melts-in-your-mouth smooth layers of soft-served made with pure milk is mixed with generous servings of mascarpone cheese, coffee crumble, butter cookies, and topped with dark chocolate shavings. The fresh ingredients blend into a harmonious symphony of balanced sweetness, with the mascarpone cheese adding a pinch of saltiness to highlight the sweet flavours of the cookies and chocolate. Memories of the rich and smooth ice cream can also be taken home, as they’re served in gold-rimmed acrylic goblets that customers can take out as souvenir and reuse.</p>
<p>As its special offering, Kiss the Tiramisu creates a unique flavor in every country it goes to. In the Philippines, its exclusive ice cream, crafted by Chef Kat Diploma, is called the Mida’s Touch which is soft-served with ube cake and leche flan. It has layers of crushed barquillos, is drizzled with caramel sauce, and real, edible 24k gold. The gold-tipped, highly Instagrammable ice cream is definitely a must-try for its delicious and familiar Filipino taste.</p>

Photo shows the delicious café latte</figcaption></figure>
<p>Kiss the Tiramisu offers other specialty ice creams to satisfy sweet cravings. The east-meets-west concoction called Matcha Tiramisu Ice Cream is almost like the Original Tiramisu, but matcha sauce is poured instead of coffee, with a dusting of matcha powder. The Injeolmi Tiramisu Ice Cream puts a spotlight on the Korean delicacy called Injeolmi, or sticky rice cakes dusted with roasted soy bean powder.</p>
<p>For this season, Happier Holidays await at Kiss the Tiramisu as the dessert café presents its specialty Christmas cakes namely Peach Cheesecake and Oreo Mousse Cake which are the perfect dessert centerpieces in festive occasions.</p>
<p>Aside from ice creams and cakes, the cafe is complete with fresh roasted coffees to go with the desserts. Otherwise, one can go for coffee/dessert fusions such as the cheese cream latte, kissing coffee, and tiramisu affogato to name a few.</p>
<p>Kiss the Tiramisu definitely hits the spot for sweets lovers and the indulgent cheese-infused and coffee-infused desserts will make you crave for a glimpse of sweet heaven again.  Two branches are already available in the Philippines with the first branch located at the Ground Floor of Three Central in Valero Street, Makati City, and the second branch is situated at the Ground Floor of the Mindanao Lobby Entrance of TriNoma Mall.</p>

<p>For starters, take on the gustatory farm-to-fork fare of The Pantry at Dusit Thani. The world-class restaurant uses only organic, locally-sourced produce and ingredients that mesh into delightful Indian, Italian, Filipino, and Pan-Asian cuisines that will surely satiate everyone’s palates.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14840 aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2-300x169.jpg?resize=409%2C230" alt="Buffet" width="409" height="230" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=1068%2C601&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?resize=746%2C420&amp;ssl=1 746w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Eatigo_Cucina-2.jpg?w=1116&amp;ssl=1 1116w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px" /></p>
<p>Another fresh buffet is the elegant all-day restaurant of Cucina in Marco Polo Ortigas. Their interactive open kitchen is a treat to both the sight and taste. Honing innovative continental and Asian cuisines, visitors often rave about the paella, steak, sushi, lobster, and salmon sashimi.</p>

<p>Not to be missed out on is The Café at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila. Also tagged as an interactive kitchen, the spotlight is on fresh ingredients and masterful culinary methods by the top-notch chefs. The bustling 315-seater offers a range of cozy to private dining areas that serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a hearty all-day experience.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14844 aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Garden-Cafe-at-Luxent.png?resize=259%2C259" alt="Buffet" width="259" height="259" /></p>
<p>Dining at its best is tucked within the Garden Café of Luxent Hotel. It’s rather quiet compared to other buffet restaurants, but the diverse offerings are equally good. The lechon belly is a crowd-pleaser with its flavourful meat and exquisitely crunchy skin, as well as the chicken cordon bleu.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14845 aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Midas-Logo-300x223.png?resize=366%2C272" alt="Buffet" width="366" height="272" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Midas-Logo.png?resize=300%2C223&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Midas-Logo.png?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Midas-Logo.png?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Midas-Logo.png?w=388&amp;ssl=1 388w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px" /></p>

In 2012, it was awarded as one of Asia Tatler Dining&#8217;s best restaurants featuring an outstanding buffet station bursting with haute choices and decadent Western to Filipino favorites.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14847 aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-CAFE-MARRIOTT-logo.gif?resize=304%2C304" alt="Buffet" width="304" height="304" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-CAFE-MARRIOTT-logo.gif?w=180&amp;ssl=1 180w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-CAFE-MARRIOTT-logo.gif?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px" /><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14848 aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-Cafe-300x170.png?resize=411%2C233" alt="Buffet" width="411" height="233" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-Cafe.png?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/M-Cafe.png?w=631&amp;ssl=1 631w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px" />Last but definitely not the least is the bright, bold, and modern Marriott Café in Marriott Hotel. The open-theatre kitchen aims to captivate hungry diners with their sumptuous spread of local and international fare. Truly, it’s a mouth-watering experience.</p>
<p>The best part is all of these restaurants are readily available and eagerly waiting for you on Eatigo. Just download the app, sign up, and scour the many delicious deals on the page. Trust us, they’re too good to pass up on!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are places that you come back to over and over again—the ones that keep on surprising, the ones that keep bringing something new to the table. In this case, the world-class entity of <strong>Gelatofix Lifestyle Café</strong>.</p>
<p>Known for their over-the-top creative gelato creations, this ace café is unveiling a new wave of dishes complete with appetizing mains and delicious all-day selections.</p>
<p>First on the line is <strong>Roast Beef with Mushroom Gravy</strong>. Savory and succulent beef slices make up the dish, smothered with a generous amount of rich herb cream sauce, also served with rice.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14797 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?resize=215%2C161" alt="Gelatofix Lifestyle Café  1" width="215" height="161" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?w=684&amp;ssl=1 684w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px" />There’s so much to love about the <strong>Chicken Parmigiano</strong>—tender chicken in crisp coating, topped with heaps of spinach, marinara, and melted cheese, conveniently placed with a side of rice.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14798 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1-300x224.jpg?resize=222%2C166" alt="Gelatofix Lifestyle Café 2" width="222" height="166" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1.jpg?resize=562%2C420&amp;ssl=1 562w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f1.jpg?w=563&amp;ssl=1 563w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px" />Amping up a Pinoy favorite is the <strong>Adobo Flakes pizza</strong>, where flavoursome shreds of pork and chicken are roasted to a delightful crisp and drizzled on a bed of creamy mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce.</p>
<p>Moving on to the all-day selections, the <strong>Grand Box Breakfast</strong> is a sure hit with thick slabs of bacon, crispy vegetable croquettes, scrambled eggs and potatoes, all of which served in a hefty breakfast box.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14799 alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2-300x200.jpg?resize=218%2C145" alt="Gelatofix Lifestyle Café  3" width="218" height="145" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2.jpg?resize=696%2C465&amp;ssl=1 696w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2.jpg?resize=629%2C420&amp;ssl=1 629w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f2.jpg?w=1008&amp;ssl=1 1008w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" />Never underestimate the classic duo of <strong>Chicken and Waffles</strong>, crispy fried chicken chunks on top of warm, golden brown waffles. We’re counting this as a breakfast win.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-14800 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5-300x224.jpg?resize=222%2C166" alt="Gelatofix Lifestyle Café  4" width="222" height="166" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5.jpg?w=654&amp;ssl=1 654w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/f5.jpg?resize=562%2C420&amp;ssl=1 562w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px" />Lastly, the <strong>Arroz a la Cubana</strong> meets the perfect pairing of flavourful ground beef and mixed veggies over steamed rice, capped with a sunny side up egg.</p>
<p>Dare to bite into Gelatofix Lifestyle Café’s new array of gastronomic dishes. To see what else is on their menu, visit them at the Ground Floor, BGC Corporate Center, 30th corner 11th Street,  Bonifacio Global City,  Taguig City.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” is the brainchild of Antonio Z. Atienza and Ronald Callao. The two met at a meeting completely unrelated to food and were drawn together by their similar passions for Filipino cuisine. Both come from unrelated industries: Antonio Z. Atienza is a renowned jeweler and the owner of Golden Hills Jewelry, Inc. Ronald Callao was a former Head for Circulation at Business World and BusinessMirror. Ronald decided to return to his history with food, having owned a carinderia in Paranaque and having worked in Jollibee before going to the newspaper industry. He decided to make his passion for cooking and eating delicious food a business, hence his venture into a second food stall.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_18269" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18269" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-18269" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodfindsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Boy-Kanin-BoyFiesta-10.jpg?resize=640%2C426" alt="Boy Kanin BoyFiesta" width="640" height="426" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18269" class="wp-caption-text">Boy Kanin BoyFiesta (Photo via PSSST)</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Antonio proposed the concept of “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” to Ronald. His idea of infusing the meat or seafood ulam sauce into the rice was inspired by his foreign friends’ search for local cuisine. These friends actually enjoyed mixing the rice into the sauce of kaldereta. Such a practice continues in the home of Filipinos and local restaurants serving the same fare. What distinguishes “Boy Kanin” from these establishments is the rice and ulam sauce being mixed for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With Filipino food becoming a popular eat out treat for locals and foreigners alike, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” hopes to not just feed hungry stomachs but also to remind us why we always return to our homegrown cuisine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WHAT WE SERVE…..!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18270" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodfindsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/menu-boy-kanin.jpg?resize=640%2C172" alt="menu boy kanin" width="640" height="172" />Craving for your mom’s home cooked adobo or caldereta? Are you so hungry that only a bowl of kare kare or a plate of bistek can satisfy your growling stomach? Look no further than Boy Kanin, a food stall that serves paella rice meals but with your favorite Filipino ulam. From the tangy taste of caldereta, the classic savory sauce of adobo, to the filling bits of dinuguan, you can order a “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">bowl</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” of these favorite meals and have them on-the-go.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” serves your favorite Filipino fare at affordable prices and delivers such with the quality of a midrange restaurant. Unlike other regular food stalls, each bowl of rice is stir fried and then infused with a cooked sauce of your choice. An order from Mister Kanin doesn’t just curb hunger—it also leaves you comforted by the familiarity of home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin officially welcomed guests and customers to their first full service restaurant in the town of Orani, Bataan last September 28, 2018. There was even a motorcade which was graced by no other than Boy Kanin mascot to celebrate the momentous event. Tricycles, cars and vans joined the motorcade as kids and kids-at-heart were delighted with the presence of Boy Kanin mascot who gamely posed for photo opportunity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The motorcade was then followed with a short blessing, ceremonial ribbon cutting, tossing of rice  and coins to those who were present to witness the said event. Sticking to the festive Filipino theme, Boy Kanin’s first full service dine-in restaurant had a modern colorful interior which will remind one of a town’s fiesta which perfectly fit Boy Kanin’s range of food offerings. It was designed by Architect Lumor Cenon Cesar with the help of Boy Kanin Orani owners Mr. and Mrs. Capili.</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are truly proud of how we started as small food cart concept and now we’ve turned into a full dine in store,</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” said Boy Kanin’s President and CEO, Mr. Ronald Allan Callao.  His vision five years ago was to simply introduce “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">real Filipino fastfood</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” in affordable prices. “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our culture has so much more to offer to the world. I’d like to envision Filipino food to be recognized all over the world</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” he added.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_18272" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18272" style="width: 423px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-18272" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodfindsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/boy_kanin_founders_owners.png?resize=423%2C284" alt="boy_kanin_founders_owners" width="423" height="284" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18272" class="wp-caption-text">“Boy Kanin” is the brainchild of Antonio Z. Atienza and Ronald Callao.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mr. Ronald Allan Callao has a lot more dreams and plans for Boy Kanin.  For him, there’s a lot more room for improvements as far as Boy Kanin is concerned. He plans to open more branches (hopefully more dine-in restaurants like this one) in the future. In the next couple of months, expect Boy Kanin to launch several well-loved Filipino desserts and dishes like </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">suman</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">crispy kare-kare</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">kapeng barako</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, among many others. So far, Boy Kanin’s R&amp;D are doing its job in trying and testing all the foods before they are launch in full swing. “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">But everything is now in the works</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">,”assures Mr. Callao.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boy Kanin’s Orani Bataan branch has a sitting capacity of  40 to 45 people. The restaurant is strategically located in high traffic area with landmarks such as Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary (Boy Kanin is just a few steps from the church itself), several schools, municipal hall, gymnasium as well as residential areas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you live nearby, come and visit Boy Kanin Orani Bataan located at the Ground Floor, Pag-ASA Building, Bayan ng Orani, Bataan, 2112</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Operational Hours: Mondays to Sundays from -8:00 am to 10:00 pm.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Philippines is composed of 7,641 beautiful islands. Home bakers across the country are multiplying, online baking business is rapidly growing and small bakeries are continuously evolving. You can just imagine the nightmare of doing sales coverage and distribution in this archipelago. It is a fact that most companies have limited number of dealers and salesmen that could effectively serve these channels and this too is a dilemma of Puratos Philippines. Every day, we receive numerous inquiries about our products and services. Handling concerns from hundreds of customers and potential clients is a real challenge. Sometimes we still receive inquiries on social media until 12 midnight. Come to think of it, night time is the best time for home bakers to inquire since most of them are employed or have to take care of their families during the day. We believe that the home bakers (Domestic Artisans) are an underserved market segment where a mobile app can be a perfect solution, and with this solution, we want nothing less but to provide great CEX (Customer Experience)!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">B</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">usinesses from all corners of the world selling products and services have started migrating from the physical world of handing out leaflets and placing print advertisements to the mobile realm. To answer the challenges we are facing, we believe that Puratos Philippines should be able to drive the market through the Puratos Mobile App. According to a smartphones usage survey, Philippines is the third largest &amp; fastest growing market for smartphones in Southeast Asia. Seventy-nine percent of the Filipinos have already checked their smartphones within 5 minutes of waking up</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We have 40 million active mobile social media users. To answer the fast-growing bakers who want peace of mind and convenience, we came up with ‘My Bakery’, the very first mobile application in Philippines’ baking industry designed for domestic artisans such as home bakers, online baking sellers and small bakeries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last June 1, 2017, we officially launched ‘My Bakery’ in Puratos Philippines. Dealers &amp; domestic artisan customers were invited to witness this convenient solution to their longtime tussle. Watch the full event here: </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JhR7trHa78"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JhR7trHa78</span></a></p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12535" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?resize=640%2C453" alt="‘My Bakery’" width="640" height="453" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?w=849&amp;ssl=1 849w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?resize=100%2C70&amp;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?resize=696%2C493&amp;ssl=1 696w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image12.jpg?resize=593%2C420&amp;ssl=1 593w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Just like any other social media mobile application, you can download the app and register for free on Playstore or Google Play. What are the privileges you will experience when you download the app? No more waiting game! You will have full access to product information such as product description, packaging size, packaging appearance, usage rates, recipes, prices and more. You will enjoy watching informative videos, read helpful blogs, and discover new trends. Best of all – you could order from the app! Sounds fun, right? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My Bakery is a great tool for emergency orders because we offer the same day delivery through </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Puratos Express</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Orders placed from the app from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon are considered same day delivery, of course, with a corresponding fixed delivery charge. To sustain the interest of the mobile App users, ‘My Bakery’ was designed to have additional features like push notifications which appears on the touchscreen from time to time and is being loaded with new recipes every month. It has also a store locator function that can guide the user to the nearest Puratos retail outlet in the area. Have a peek at its benefits in this video: </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEi1mwHJuk4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEi1mwHJuk4</a></span></p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image22.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12536" src="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image22.jpg?resize=589%2C416" alt="‘My Bakery’" width="589" height="416" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image22.jpg?w=589&amp;ssl=1 589w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image22.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/villageconnectph.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/image22.jpg?resize=100%2C70&amp;ssl=1 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We now have a total of 3,000</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">+</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> registrations and users who are now enjoying the benefits of the app since its launch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An even better ‘My Bakery’, which will feature both delivery and pick up options is officially out during its 1</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">st</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Anniversary Celebration held at Mckinley Hill in Taguig last May 4, 2018. New features such as Flexible delivery options: Express Delivery &amp; Standard Delivery with corresponding delivery fees are offered. Promo codes will be its highlight, the more they order, more chances of discounts! ‘My Bakery’ Version 2.0 has now online payment and a Pick-Up option well for those nearby in the area at no cost. That’s not all, the version 2 of the app will have its GPS-automated function wherein it will be able to detect your location and show the dealer near you. It is definitely a more user-friendly version. Other new updates will be up soon…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our goal is to be a truly ‘handy baking buddy’ for the domestic artisan segment. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not only will the customers benefit from the app but we will too. We believe it will provide more value to our customers. We want to increase our interaction and improve service level with our loyal and potential clients to sell more and to truly be considered as a reliable partner in Innovation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘My Bakery’ is being promoted through our salesmen, social media and during baking events and seminars. It helps build a stronger brand image. Having a Puratos ‘My Bakery’ icon on customers’ smartphones ensures that our business is always on top of their minds. At Puratos, Customer Satisfaction is part of our DNA. The more interested and happy people are with this platform, the more we reap from this competitive advantage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the Philippines’ baking industry setting, we want to be the “company of firsts”: first to introduce bread improver in the country, first to have a roving baking demo truck or ‘MOVE N’ BAKE’, Puratos Philippines Mobile Innovation Center (discover here: </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5qfmmVoUrI"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5qfmmVoUrI</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">), and first to have a Mobile App, where customers can explore and order in just a few taps. ‘My Bakery’ is the Filipino bakers’ new handy baking buddy to make their baking lives easier, faster, fresher and better! </span></p>
