Eight & Co. Restaurant: The New and Re-branded Cookbook Kitchen


Wazzup Pilipinas!

My interview with Chef Gen Capati was impromptu just like my visit at the restaurant was unannounced. But I am impressed on how everything went.

The Eight & Co Restaurant was not what I expected when I decided to drop by on a whim but they managed to do well. I had too much waiting time for a next event so instead of waiting at the venue for several hours, I went out of my normal routine and headed to this fairly new restaurant located in Socorro Fernandez street of Addition Hills. I literally made an effort to track down the re-branded restaurant.

The restaurant was themed with a cool black, white and brown combination making it stand out amazingly different from the rest of the neighborhood. Though it's not an original concept, you'll grow fond of its appearance especially with the restaurant's interiors where they've even customized some of the seats for a more comfy dining experience.

Their signage say their are open everyday except Monday from 11 am until 2 pm, and then 6 pm to 10 pm. I think I arrived sometime in between 2 pm to 6 pm so it was nice that they still attended to me.

Since the restaurant is within a residential area, it was understandable that they have some closing time. The owner's son also handles a gym at another part of the huge house that the restaurant was a part of. It's sort of funny but convenient because after a workout at the gym, their customers can transfer to the restaurant to gain back some of the pounds they lost. Lol!

Corona Sunsets City Escape for Sony Channel's ROFLing Sundays


Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Hosting Sunsets City Escape in Skye lounge. Extremely happy to be here! Reminds me of my San Diego days when I used to enjoy sipping Corona beer watching sunsets on Mission Beach." - Amanda Fernandez

Your Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas get to hang out with the Corona Ambassadresses during the 1st Leg of the Corona Sunset City Escape event at the Skye Lounge located on the rooftop of the W Building in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in partnership with Sony Channel to promote their ROFLing Sundays shows namely Younger Season 2, Baby Daddy, Odd Mom Out and Bad Judge.

They say it's always sunset somewhere. On the 17th February, I joined party people in celebrating the golden hour of sunset in Manila while listening to the beats of DJ Ron Poe, June Marieezy and Techy Romantics.

The theme is to feel the beach in the city and relax responsibly. This is probably why I've seen surfer celebrities like Mara Lopez and Luke Landrigan as among their celebrity guests. Only beach bums would recognize the two, and this is not the first time I've met the two. There's a few more previous events where they were present too.

Below is our special video presentation we made during the 1st leg of Corona Sunsets City Escape. Photos follow.

Wazzup Pilipinas Adventures on Picturebooks


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you remember our Pampanga Hot Air Balloon and Restaurant Tour last February? Well, it's time we compile our photos and turn it into a book. Similar to what you see in bookstores, or from the shelves of your bookcase or library, we are turning our memories into a physical book. Not the electronic or e-book, but something made from paper.

Hardbound and with glossy pages, those are the preferred type for our book, and a company called Picturebooks is going to help us bring this effort to reality. Yes, they'll be producing our book for us. It will contain some of the many photos from our tour together with stories from every part of the adventure.

It will mention all the stops we did starting with our visit at the 20th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta at Clark air field where we witnessed stunning balloons of different shapes and designs.

It will also take us to the 50s while dining at Downtown 1956 Cafe by Bale Dutung, to dining on authentic Japanese cuisines at Yu-Fu-In, to Koko Buri and it's Canola oil deep-fried chicken and other international dishes, to our posh rooms and the spacious pool area of Holiday Inn Clark and our buffet lunch at Mequeni restaurant,

More information will come soon as we have our book finally printed. I will create another blog post when the actual book is with us already.
