Announcement: Ultimate Taste Test 9.0

Our Awesome Planet, in partnership with Soderno @ Molito, presents the Ultimate Taste Test 9.0 on July 29, 2012 (Sunday), 6:00pm - 11:00pm, at the Soderno Night Market, Molito Lifestyle Center, Muntinlupa City.

LET'S BE FOOD CRITICS FOR THE DAY. :)

This is pretty much like the set-up in Mercato and Banchetto with overflowing, wide range of food and we get to rate them from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest). Food and drink concessionaires will give free tastes of their products that are already available in the market, those newly launched, and those that will soon be launched.

To participate as a food critic, we have to buy UTT9.0 tickets (P300 each) from Soderno, Mercato (Fort), or in Distrito (Makati). Tickets will be available starting this coming Friday (July 6). It entitles the bearer to one (1) bottle of beer (for those 18 years old and above only) and part of the proceeds will go to Balikhatang Thalassemina organization (a support group of Thalassemia patients).

Hurry, 500 slots only!

Announcement: Rustan's Asian Street Food Invasion 2012

Last June 29, Rustan's Fresh launched their latest food series: Asian Street Food, that offers signature dishes and ingredients from our Southeast Asian neighbors like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

For a limited time only (July 1 to August 15), they will feature the ingredients used in dishes cooked during the launch such as Vietnamese Pho, Pad Thai, and Hainanese Chicken. Free booklets will also be given that contains these yummy recipes. So convenient already for home cooks!

I just saw their tarpaulin yesterday when I passed by Rustan's in Gateway.  I'm excited for their cooking demos and I will try to get my mom to go to Rockwell on the 14th so I can watch! Plus, when you buy these products you get a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to any of the four Southeast Asian countries.

Cooking demos will be on July 14 in Rockwell, July 28 in Shangri-la Plaza, and August 11 in Makati. I hope to see you there!

Starbucks' Asian Twist

Last June 14 (Tuesday), Starbucks Philippines launched its new set of pastries, drinks, and desserts that aims to infuse Asian flavor into its known niche of Western flavors.

For the pastries, they have:

I'm much excited for this trio since I love Starbucks' line of bread and sandwiches. They're healthy, tasty, and filled with awesome goodness. I haven't tried the new ones yet but I'd taste the Beef and Mushroom Pie first then the Bacon and Cheese second. Not so much of a Parmigiana fan.

Then they also have new drinks: (Ah, now this is Asian)

Hojicha Tea Jelly Frappuccino is inspired by the Japanese Hojicha tea that's different from other teas since this type is roasted instead of steamed, giving off a "toasty" flavor. Then the Red Bean Green Tea that pretty reminds me of the Red Beans we so love in our Halo-Halos!

They have a promo on-going right now to entice the public to try out their new line.We got to hurry! Promo is only from June 12 (Tuesday) to 17 (Sunday). Oh, don't forget to greet your dad a Happy father's day on the 17th!

Then of course, the caaaaakes:

Okay, so here's the story: KC invited me to a "sudden lunch out" when, afterwards, we craved for dessert. We were originally planning to buy ice cream, but we ended up in Starbucks instead. Then we saw the new cakes *wide eyes here*

The Green Tea and Berry Cheesecake is exquisite! It's creamy and light and has the right amount of sweetness to satisfy a dessert craving. Well, the green tea flavor isn't that dominant, but having that tiny hint is perfect. It's a must try! The Purple Yam Cake, meanwhile, is very Filipino and I love how Starbucks now embraces Filipino traditional sweets.

Got this picture from KC. Thanks for the 20-peso treat! HAHA. Sorry, I forgot to pay you! Let's try the other new ones as well next time? :) I heard they're on sale only for a limited time.

For more details, visit the Starbucks Philippines site. They have enticing descriptions for each item if you still need some push to try these out. :)))))

Announcement: Microwarehouse Sale and "Shoe In Love" Sale

Ack. This month of June has really been quiet for me. I am on a deliberate/intentional mission to save up for July because I'm treating my family to Puerto Princesa, Palawan to see one of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO's) World Heritage Sites in the country:

The Underground River! (Photo taken from: Inside My Backpack since I don't have my own pictures yet *winks stupidly*) Lovely, isn't it? So I have to turn down "eating dates" for this lovely thing.


I'm even excited for the food! Seafood in Palawan, they say, is great. Fresh stingray and eels. And I heard they have maggots. I have yet to explore. 


Anyway, since I don't have anything else to say, here are some big events this coming weeks:

I'm not a techie, but my friends say that they sell relatively cheap gadgets here. I was browsing through blogs regarding last year's Microwarehouse Sale and it had a lot of negative reviews mostly because the prices are still the same and they sell a lot of old models (which, I suppose, techies hate since they always want to be updated). 

Theeeen, there's also a mega shoe saaaale: (Entrance Fee at P50)

THIS I am excited about. :)) But I won't be going to any of this since, as I said, I have the Operation Palawan thing. P.S. This weekend I'll be going to Clark, Pampanga. Excited to post about it next week! Have a happy weekend everyone! :)

Random: Bloggers United Summer Bazaar and Crocs Mega Sale 2012

Random announcements!  This is TOO GOOD not to have a special place in this blog:

BLOGGERS UNITED SUMMER BAZAAR 2012

June 2, 2012 (Saturday),11 AM to 9 PM

Grandview Events Place, Metropolitan Avenue, Makati City 

Entrance: P100

I got excited when I saw my friend Danika in the poster. Turns out that she's gonna be there to sell clothes from her own line (RIO) and shoes that she designed (which you can check out here).

Then we also have a super great treat from Crocs. It's their annual mega sale that's up to 90% off!

 CROCS MEGA SALE 2012

June 1-3, 2012 (Friday-Sunday), 10 AM to 10 PM

NBC Tent, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City

Entrance: P50
(but it's FREE for Citibank card holders + one friend OR...
 if you apply for a Citibank card there)

Yes entrance is free BUT the crowd and the cashier line last year was horrible! It was sooooo long-- and I think the wait will only be worth it if you buy a number a pairs. Why the fuss? Look at last year's sample of their price list (2011):

Amazing drop in prices. And this is Crocs we're talking about! They last long, they're comfy and fashionable, and it's GREAT FOR THE RAINY SEASON WHICH IS ALMOST NEAR.

This is certainly gonna be one good weekend! Looking forward to it! :)

Love,
Sam!
