Experiencing New Flavors and Revisiting Old Favorites at Shang's GourmetFest

For about 10 years, I worked in Ortigas.  But I was the type of employee who would go home after serving my employer for at least eight hours.  We’ve got three boys already, and we did not have a house help so I would always rush home.  Perhaps that explains the fact that I am not familiar with any restaurant or store within the nearby Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

Last Wednesday, we were invited to a GourmetFest at Shang’s Grand Atrium.  I must admit I am not familiar with all the restaurants, but it didn’t stop me not to sample each dish presented to us.  I had a gastronomic trip around the world as Shangri-La rolled out a delicious spread of some of its most exquisite dishes.  22 restaurants served up an assortment of dishes from varied cuisines – from European to American to Asian.

And to encourage our little boys and the big kuyas to make hand washing a habit, we introduce to them one of our latest discoveries.

#RiceTheRightWay: Red Rice for Weight Management

We had several photo shoot that day. Those were for a favorite chocolate treat, a laundry detergent brand, and a healthy drink.  Though the lighting and the set up were pretty much perfect, we had a hard time choosing what photo to use for the brands we represent. On all the fine prints, this mother weighs double her size a decade ago.

I need to lose weight.  Not only to look good on the pictures but for my health.

The Grand OctoberFresh at the World Chicken and Egg Day
Last October 12, 2018, husband and our two little ones accompanied me at the World Chicken and Egg Day celebration. It was a fun-filled event to celebrate our favorite source of protein, and vitamin D.  Celebrated every second Friday of October worldwide, the Chicken and Egg Day is like a simple reminder of how the humble egg is a beautiful source of goodness and abundant nutrients.  It is also the day that poultry producers promote their products and educate the consumers about the power package of vitamins and minerals found in an egg.

Chinese rice meals on the go at FamilyMart

Enjoy hot and delicious Chinese rice meals at FamilyMart!

“Free time” is not in my vocabulary.

I often tell this to myself.  With three high school boys to bring to and fetch from school every day and two toddlers to look after every minute or two in a day, free time is a rare thing.  

Despite being a busy bee, I always see to it that my boys are well taken care of especially when it comes to eating and sleeping on time. But it has some downsides, too, as I sometimes forgot to eat on time.  I will feel hungry when I am already on our way to school to fetch the boys.  

Good thing there are convenience stores like FamilyMart. I could always enjoy a nice, warm bowl of comfort food to fuel my day. Plus I could buy my boys some refreshments and even little treats as we wait for their big brothers in the parking lot.

SM Supermalls celebrates #SuperAweSMKidsDay

· Leave a Comment

We’ve got five boys and the only time we get to go out complete is when we attend and hear mass.  Sometimes when we do our grocery, they go with their parents because they also need to buy some grooming essentials.  Plus of course, our boys are easily convinced to go with their elders when we mention we will dine in somewhere.

With kids these days spending more time playing with their gadgets than interacting with others, this mother takes every opportunity when she can to have her boys go out.  And she is thankful that malls like SM Supermalls spearheaded the #SuperAweSMKidsDay where kids and kids at heart can indulge in fun-filled playtime experiences.  What’s good about it is that it is happening in about  65 participating SM malls nationwide.  So all parents can do is bring their kids at the nearest SM Supermalls and play or shop, eat, and even win!
