Fat Fook at The Globe Tower BGC: One Taiwanese Gastronomic Experience

Fat Fook BGC at The Globe Tower

Living or working in the CBD area definitely has its perks. I’ve always liked Bonifacio Global City (BGC), because it has everything a restless individual needs, and that is ample distraction. From fast-paced corporate power-jobs to the night-outs that come immediately after, spent at the myriad of venues serving a variety of food, culture and entertainment options that ultimately serve one purpose—to kill time. Now, there’s another reason for me to frequent BGC because of the newly opened Fat Fook Restaurant at The Globe Tower. 

A flat lay of the best foods one can find at Fat Fook

Strategically located at The Globe Tower on 32^nd Street, Fat Fook is from the same group that has brought us the popular cult ramen called Ramen Nagi. This is the company’s fifth branch of the fast-growing Taiwanese chain. I’ve always wanted to visit Taiwan mainly because of its food and while I still do not have the budget for such travel adventures, a visit to Fat Fook will suffice for now. 

I won’t go much into details, because I believe you guys had to visit and see for yourselves, but let me inform you that this Fat Fook branch in BGC has its own takeout counter which makes it more convenient for customers to order their favorite meals to-go. So if you’re a yuppie and working within the area and you’d want to have your fill of Taiwanese foods, you can always grab a bite at Fat Fook BGC. 

Special job, opportunities fair set for PWDs on December 2, 2018

Press release:

A special job fair has been slated exclusively for persons with disability, promising disadvantaged members of the community in Metro Manila with employment, livelihood and training opportunities, the Department of Labor and Employment announced yesterday.

The event is a joint undertaking with the Rotary Clubs of District 3830 in observance of the International Day for persons with disabilities. The exclusive offering is also part of the anniversary celebration of the labor department which turns 85 this year.

Close to a hundred private companies and government agencies are expected to participate and ready to take in qualified persons with disabilities into their workforce in the fair set on December 5 at the Quezon City Hall starting at 8 am.

The special activity will highlight compliance with the law mandating offices of government to set aside one percent of the positions to persons with disabilities. The same law, Republic Act 10524, encourages private enterprises with more than 100 employees to reserve one percent of their workforce to the disadvantaged persons.

The Rotary Clubs from District 3830 mobilized employers from various parts of Metro Manila to the activity. The Department of Trade and Industry and the Technical Education & Skills Development Authority will provide livelihood and skills training for qualified beneficiaries during the event. The other offices collaborating in the conduct of the job fair are the Public Employment Service Offices in the National Capital Region, the National Council on Disability Affair and the city government of Quezon City.

All local government units in Metro Manila were also invited to participate by sending qualified persons with disability from their respective communities to the job fair.

The event will be graced by Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello and other labor officials, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, District Governor Alfredo Montecillo of Rotary International District 3830 and the Rotarians from the various Rotary clubs in the district.

MAYA Happy Mugs: Great tasting cake in 2 Minutes and MAYA Hotcake Art

Maya Happy Mug in Chocolate and Caramel variants

Yes folks, it’s the most wonderful time of the year again—Christmastime! And whether you’re still in denial about it, the holiday season brings a lot of childhood happy memories back when most of us still believe in the magic of Christmas. Nothing warms my heart than waking up to freshly baked cookies and brownies wafting in the air. So I was glad upon learning that Filipino brand MAYA has made life easier for moms and those who are behind the preparations for Noche Buena. With a number of products to choose from, you can never go wrong with any MAYA product. From their hotcakes, brownie, APF (all-purpose flour) and cake mixes, everything seems so convenient to whip up things that every family will surely enjoy.

I recently discovered MAYA Happy Mugs when I received an invitation to visit The Maya Kitchen recently in Arnaiz Avenue, Makati City. It’s so easy to make, even little kids can do so with an adult’s supervision. Maya Happy Mugs are single serve ready-to-mix delicious baked goodies. They are available in two variants: MAYA Happy Mug in Chocolate Cake with Caramel Drizzle Syrup and Caramel Cake with Chocolate Drizzle Syrup. It’s a very simple D-I-Y cake which you pop into the microwave oven for two minutes and voila! You can already enjoy a yummy mug cake you’ve just made yourself in minutes. You may add on some more toppings on the gooey cake mix: from fruits to nuts to marshmallows and chocolate bits—have it the way you want it! Kids would surely want to try their hand at making their own MAYA Happy Mug. It’s going to be a good bonding for parents and their kids too. The MAYA Happy Mug is such a sweet treat not just for kids but for those kids-at-heart too. MAYA Happy Mugs are sold at P40.00 (SRP) at supermarkets and groceries nationwide.
