Having a big brunch is good. Enjoying it on a Sunday is better. Indulging on a bigger and better Sunday brunch is best—and this is served only at Marriot Café. So, why choose when you can have the best of both worlds?

Upon entrance at the five star restaurant buffet, patrons can immediately recognize the new arrangement and some new containers of its fabulous food and bevy of beverages. Each section is harmoniously organized to attract your eyes and fill your appetite. And with the welcome additions to the menu, everything is truly Bigger and Better for Sunday brunch!

On the right side, the amazing spread of cold cuts, cheeses, and freshly-baked breads are complemented by a variety of nuts, raisins, and jams. Together, they provide a wonderful and welcoming sight. On the left side is a pleasant surprise. Since Thai food is a global favorite, Marriott Café now offers Thai Red Curry, one of Thailand’s most globally recognized dishes. You can make your own piping hot bowl by filling it with your preferred amount of red chillies, cilantro, coriander, cumin, garlic, shallots, kaffir lime, galangal, and lemongrass. After enjoying that spicy kick in your taste buds, fresh tropical fruits and gallons of gelatos in various flavors are also available.

Rowling’s Harry Potter chronology, the story comes in a compilation of series that is fit for readers of all ages. People would definitely enjoy this series written by Segundo Matias Jr., simply called, “Kuya Jun.”

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit in the Philippines launches the All New Brio and Brio Amaze at the 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at World Trade Center, Pasay City.

During the opening, HCPI’s President and General Manager, Toshio Kuwahara unveiled to local media the much-anticipated All New Brio (hatchback) and Brio Amaze (sedan). The Brio (Italian for “energetic” and “cheerful”) series, was especially created for the emerging demands of the Asian market – automobiles that will facilitate personal mobility. The Brio model’s development is backed by Honda’s extensive experience in creating compact cars such as the Jazz and City which are examples of the application of Honda’s “man maximum, machine minimum” design concept. While relatively the most affordable car in Honda’s vehicle line-up, the Brio models proudly embody high levels of Honda DQR – durability, quality and reliability.

“These cars were specifically developed to match the evolving needs of our customers,” Kuwahara said at the launch event. “Today, we are revealing Honda's answer to the small car for Filipino motorists. We are joining the small car segment in a big way by setting a new standard with these two vehicles.”
