Affordable, Porkylicious Chickentastic Food at FLORING'S Fort Bonifacio

Sunday, March 11, 2012


It was a fine quaint afternoon when I decided to go and eat out with some blog friends at Bonifacio Global City. I needed to get my Pork and Chicken fix that weekend so I never hesitated to drop by the newest restaurant in this side of town. It's called FLORING'S and it's in 4th Avenue cor 31st Street. Their best seller is the pork barbecue and I had to have that plus the chicken; I went inside to take a look.


Good thing the line wasn't that long yet because it was a little too early for lunch. The place get's packed at that time so make sure you get there early or maybe a little over 12PM because it'll be easier to order. They have a fast line but you can't discount the fact that people flock here because two things: 1 is price points and 2 the gorgeous food they had to offer!


Yes, you are seeing it right. The price point is unbelievably low! In a place like Fort Bonifacio it's literally impossible to see a restaurant serve at these rates. Then we had barbecue and chicken for lunch.





For 99 pesos I got these two sticks of barbecue and its packed quite nicely. The servings are generous and what's more jaw dropping is that they even serve UNLIMITED RICE! O_O! If you are in the mood to eat and get the best value for money food in this side of the world, make sure you drop by this establishment when you are in the area. I had 4 cups of rice so just imagine how hungry I was for this! You can also opt for the JAVA rice for 120 and get unlimited too!



Don't forget to try out their Pork Sisig! It's the best thing with hot white rice. I love how they have available condiments like Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Hot Sauce nearby for those who love it spicy. Loved the crunch on those bits of pork too.



You can cut the pork flavor with the salty - fresh tasting Ensaladang Talong that's sooo good with the shrimp paste aka BAGOONG. Isn't the picture enticing? You'll have the same experience and more if you visit them now.



Lechon Manok never tasted so good. Imagine these huge servings which you can get whole (299) or half (165). Or take a bit of it for 99 pesos. Choose from Regular or Diablo version and you'll never regret the experience. It's that good!


If you don't want it roasted you can ask for this Crispy Chicken Tastic viand with gravy. Ooh it made my mouth water just thinking about the gravy pairing. Don't you just love how they make everything easy for us?! Crispy, juicy and right on the budget.


Make sure you don't miss the Halo Halo. It's the perfect way to end the meal. It's the perfect thing to have this summer... you need to get cold ye know! =)


Congratulations to the proud owners of this project; Restaurateur Ricky Laudico and Chef Florabel Co-Yatco. You are now venturing something big in the Filipino mainstream food business; you really can't deny this is a successful venture. Just look at the line when the clock struck 12. Yes, they are not even surprised that the line grew to somewhere outside the restaurant!



The Ambiance:

The restaurant boasts of a hole in the wall vibe. The walls though are adorned with graphics and interiors signifying the roasted content that they have on the menu. If you opt to have a more private space, check out the second floor as the place really gets so packed in the afternoon. I love the lighting fixtures, I love the graphic boards that are suspended in the ceiling. The place is pretty much well thought out. So please, do yourself a favor and check out FLORING'S. It's at the corner of 4th Avenue and 31st in Fort Bonifacio.









Don't take my word for it, make sure you get your money's worth and try out the special things that FLORING'S has to offer. You won't regret it!



Capisce?!

Call 02-9666873 for more information. They are open from 10AM -11PM everyday. =)

BUM Releases More for "Dare to Evolve" Summer Collection!

Thursday, March 08, 2012

Since a lot of you guys went haywire on the Daniel Padilla et al photos from BUM, I have more of these now since they have released their new collection. Shying a bit from the punk rock line that they had last year, they make this summer release a thing to talk about because they'll play a little classy this time. With the addition of Daniel Padilla as their new endorser, it's perfect for those teens who prefer quite rowdy yet toned down look. They also have colors now which is not what we have seen last season. Are you ready?!

Kshirts

They call this a K-Shirt probably because of the layers they can do with it much like the KPOP scene wardrobe seen in those Korean boybands. Obviously they are not afraid to get these on your favorite shops to make your BUM Equipment a tad colorful. You can mix and match this with the ones you had last year and it'll still look great. BUM thinks about investment clothing for the youth which mostly is their market. It's a smart choice if you get one of these!

aztecbtw


Influenced by the tribal minority in Mexico, BUM actually uses the patterns and figures to create a new look and print on their shirts. Wearing one or more of their wares is a lifestyle; and to fully capture that vibe that they want to express in this collection it is tantamount that you understand where the brand wants you to go. It's something a little tribal, playing with the figures of the past and making it part of the wardrobe now. It's a great attempt for a clothing brand.

chunktee

For girls/women who adore loose fit blouses/shirts then this is the one for you. Funky and colorful, BUM gears toward a different vibe now. They are staying a tad away from plain jane black and white and experiments with colors to the delight of girls who still want to be beautiful yet a tad different.

aztecgtw

Just like in the Men's collection BUM makes use of the more feminine symbols to capture the AZTEC vibe in these shirts bared by Bea Binene. Matching what they currently have in their closets plus these colorful tops with exaggerated prints is a must have this summer. You got to have more busy lines in the eyes. Make sure you get attention that you need when you have to just by wearing these shirts and more from BUM!

Oh and I just passed by their stall in SM a few nights ago. They've got these huge tumblers given away to patrons who purchase P 400 worth of their items which will give you one sticker. You need to collect five (5) of these stickers and put it in one (1) card and you can get it for free! This promo started last March 1 and will run until April 30, 2012. Make sure you get these collectibles! I'm sure you'll have a grand time! This is SWAG!

SMASH Project 2012 Tonight!

If you haven't got any plans for tonight, make sure you get some tickets to one of the biggest ROCK Concerts to ever grace the country. SMASH PROJECT 2012 will definitely give you one heck of an experience to see Dashboard Confessional, The Cab, Cobra Starship and The Used in the flesh! I had first dibs yesterday and it was CRAZY! I was like a fan all over again!

Pretty VJ from MYX hosted the event. She was really nice.


Yeap! That's Chris Carraba of Dashboard Confessional. He was so awesome in person and you won't feel that air between fan and rockstar when you are near him. Quite a nice bub. I asked him about the limited edition album and it looks like a gloomy day for me. It was really limited as in 500 pcs for the US alone. Wish I had that really.


He'll surely bring the house down with the hit single STOLEN. It's my personal favorite that's why you saw that in the post below this one =)


The USED. Let me just tell you... I had a ton and a half of laughs. GRABE Bert McCracken was a CHARACTER. It was really rowdy. I felt his excitement. This bit above alone was the time he was telling I LOVE YOU to everyone... especially the boys hahahah Man it was FUN meeting them!


They were really having fun even if they just arrived 2 hours earlier before this press conference happened. Their music as they say isn't EMO as anyone is implying. It's just ROCK and nothing else. They don't believe they belong to any group or genre. They simply just would like to make music and nothing else. If it's there turn to impress you at the Smart Araneta Coliseum I'm sure you'll have the same dose of what I had that afternoon.






I wasn't joking when I said he was having fun hahaha!




I'm sure you'll have a grand time listening to their more serious music! =) They simply left their former label because they were being screened and suggested a lot of stuff which will hamper their creative freedom. So they fired them LOL!


Okay ladies... don't tell me I didn't warn you!


THE CAB is here!



Yeap, I know... they were good looking eh?!




Their music influences include POP artists too so you can expect a lot more from The Cab come tonight. I'm sure you guys will have a lot of fun. Sorry I can't go I have work hehehe =)







Thank you so much to Dayly Entertainment, Dickies, everyone at Polyeast Records. Thank you so much for the chance to see these rockstars in the flesh. You guys have a grand time in the concert tonight! =)

Oh and as an extra treat, here's a video of the press conference :)
