The Manila Hotel’s dining outlets, the famed Café Ilang-Ilang and the iconic Champagne Room reopens soon after undergoing a few weeks of general maintenance. The hotel chose to suspend dining operations as the holiday festivities died down to ensure food quality and guest safety, as well as spot-checks on its facilities.

Café Ilang-Ilang is scheduled to reopen on January 28, 2022 (Friday). The dining outlet enjoys a loyal following among local and foreign guests as it offers authentic international fare as well as family-friendly dining experience. It continues to draw diners with its daily offering of gastronomic delights coupled with the culinary team’s passion to create an amazing spread of dishes that is in keeping with its acclaimed status as one of the best buffet restaurants in the country.

Where to Find Free Online Culinary-Related Games for Kids and Adults

 

If you've ever dreamed about working in the kitchen as a chef, online culinary based games are for you

I had always been interested in culinary after being inspired by the anime cartoon Cooking Master Boy (not sure if you guys are familiar with it, but fandom of anime would surely know Liu Mao Xing, the protagonist in the said cartoon) back during my high school years. Watching the anime somehow made me understand the “magic” brought about by chefs into each dish. Not only do they make the dish more palatable but also create art by means of creative plating which in turn makes the dish enticing. The said cartoon series also taught me the difference between a gourmet and a gourmand. And as they say, the rest is history.  I even took a short course in baking in La Salle a couple of years ago. And I guess, somehow it had also influenced me to delve into food blogging via angtakawko.blogspot.com.

Union Bank's Accomplishments for 2021 and future projects for the coming year

 

To celebrate its numerous achievements and attainment for the past year and to give us a bird's eye view of what to expect and what lies ahead for Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) for the year 2022, UnionBank held another virtual media roundtable series E-Talktales last December 15.

During the said virtual event, UnionBank Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Technology and Operations Officer, and Chief Transformation Officer Henry Aguda discussed the newly formed digital bank which will become a gamechanger for UnionBank's digital transformation journey.

Aguda started the discussion by recalling how UnionBank's digital transformation journey has enabled it to brave 2020 and the equally challenging 2021. "The pandemic created this shift to digital, which we now refer to as the “new digital normal”. We changed the way we live, the way we travel, the way we interact with one another, and basically we've changed forever in terms of how we transact in the financial sector." 

"But even before the pandemic, UnionBank already had this forward-looking view that digital is the way for us to move forward, and when the pandemic hit, not only did we survive, but I'm happy to say that the Bank actually thrived," according to Aguda.
