Giligan's

An acknowledged barkada favorite, Giligan's is the place to take your friends when you're looking for a place to celebrate or just hang out and have some good food. For an easy, no nonesense dish, the Garlic Chicken comes highly recommended. Its hefty chicken servings are seasoned just right and are a good alternative to buffalo wings. If you prefer seafood, try the restaurant's Seafood Feast with its Mediterranean-inspired combination of shrimp, mussels, clams and squid doused in light tomato sauce. Filipino fare is well represented on the menu too, with the top dishes that include the tender-on-the-inside-and-crispy-on-the-outside favorite. Crispy Pata, and the deeply flavorful classic Kare-kare. Of course, last but not the least is Giligan's famous Pork Sisig. Almost legendary in the way its reputation has been passed around through word of mouth, some even claim this version to be the best in the metro. writers: Chinggay Labrador and Christy Monastrial Rev

Pancit ng Taga Malabon

It's one of the most distinctive varities of pancit in the Philippines and definitely one of the best! The ever popular Pancit ng Taga Malabon makes its way to Robinsons Malls so that everyone can enjoy the all time favorite whenever they feel like it. The classic recipe that combines shrimp,squid,oysters,smoked fish flakes,pork cracklets, and duck eggs laid over fat rice noodles is exactly the same version you'll get in the kiosk today. But because times have changed, it's now possible to get a version minus the pork! It's just another way--besides slowly switching to the use of recycable materials --- that the establishment has shown itself to be moving forward. There are also traditional snack options to choose from like some sweet pichi-pichi, chicharon, and cheese puto and the equally iconic Pinoy refreshment, halo-halo. Eating merienda at the outlets are encouraged, though lots of people choose to take home various sizez of Pancit in Bilao as they are a

Avon Life Fit Tea Trim

--> My mom is an AVON dealer, she convinced me to try the Avon Life Fit Tea Trim . Well, I said alright! So I tried. As of this writing, I already consumed 10 out of the 15 teabags it has inside. With that, I experienced no fast result yet when it comes to losing my excess kg. But so far, it is good in regularizing my bowel movements. Unlike other  slimming coffee that I tried before, this one has no side effects in my body such as palpitation, headaches or dizziness. I am also 100 % sure that this one is genuine. Moreover, this tea is also so refreshing. I tried to mix it with cinnamon syrup for better taste.
