Home Made Bread, Cakes, Cookies, Meals and Coffee at Kamuning Bakery Cafe

I live in a very peaceful neighborhood, right here in Kamuning, Quezon City. I know the place like the back of my hand. There are only a few places left in QC that you can say, would be still here from ages ago. One of them is the oldest city bread shop called Kamuning Bakery. I often go to this place every week because right after we celebrate mass at Sacred Heart Church, we buy bread and refreshments here. That's not about to change, well a little actually.

The 76 year old bakery that has been the go to place of politicians, artists, singers, celebrities and personalities ramped up the old shabby nook into a well designed store plus a real deal cafe. What you saw on the video is now called Kamuning Bakery Cafe which serves all the bread there, new pasta creations, Kamuning iced tea, Kamuning chicken basket and tons more. You need to go there to taste, and have it. If you're around the area or craving for something home cooked and comforting, their plated meals can do it. 

The new Kamuning Bakery Cafe I must say, is a great idea. New owner, entrepreneur and prolific writer Wilson Lee Flores boasts almost all the products that they have inside the store is cooked the old traditional way via the pugon (brick oven). He's planning to put up another pizza and chicken place by utilizing and reviving the second pugon oven right beside the store. This artisanal way of making bread has been passed on by generations. The bread called Pan de Suelo still remains to be the favorite among consumers - and even that has got history. As for me, their "just right sweetness" Egg Pie, the various cakes and pastries, the new Kamuning Chicken Basket, their Benguet Coffee, the Iced Coffee, their Blue Moon (which I think is a blend of international coffee beans) and their sisig pasta is worth ordering. The good news is, they're open til midnight. If you're up for nostalgia, good food, and great times with friends and family, this place would be a nice refuge. Take the time off and visit them at 43 Judge Jimenez Street corner K-1st Street Kamuning in Quezon City or call them 4112311, 3326066, 4151692, 4126685, 09178481818, 09228321888, 09188077777 if you would like to arrange small events as the place can fit prolly 20 people.   

Kamuning Bakery has been loved by the community since 1939, I think it's about time the whole metropolis knows about the oldest bake shop in Quezon City - and love it like we do.

Enchong Dee and Richard Yap For Wansapanataym Presents: My Kung Fu Chinito

Seeing Enchong Dee and Sir Chief on TV is probably a dream for most of their fans. As you may understand, they haven't been on the boobtube for quite while and the notion of them being together in one project seems a little far fetched. ABSCBN probably thought of the Chinese lineage before they made arrangements to create a new Wansapanataym series for Richard and Enchong. This is entitled My Kung Fu Chinito and hearing them talk about it during the press launch, they seem really excited about it.

Dreamscape announced that Someone to watch Over Me will be put on hold because the queen of soap operas Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo is pregnant. That project is together with Richard Yap and he'll wait until she becomes able to do it again, in the meantime they will have another project with Richard Yap so he's going to be very busy in the next few months.

Richard knows how to do martial arts and Enchong had to train for it. Although he did some action scenes before, this would require him to fight and use harness. It was pretty hard to do this because they're jumping like superheroes. Wushu is Chinese Kung Fu, and they're pretty much going to do this along with the fantasy sequences according to the director. Almost 80 percent of the cast is Filipino Chinese. They made a casting just for this project. This is also the first time Richard is working with Enchong. Even if he doesn't know how to do Wushu, he seemed pretty great at it because he dances. So the flexing moves, it was easy for him. It looked even better on screen because he knows how to move. Enchong on the other hand mentions that Richard is a jokester on set, they laugh profusely before a scene and sometimes Enchong feels that people always takes Richard seriously when he is actually funny in real life.

The story revolves around a matured super hero wanting to transfer his duties and responsibilities to a young man played by Enchong and he had to train hard so he could become one. Enchong also adds that he's not been able to appear that much on TV because he had to concentrate on his album which is now gold. In My Kung Fu Chinito, it's going to be a little dramatic in the next few months. You'll know and understand where he's going to come from because that's where the story is heading in the first few episodes. There is pressure to make this a good and be at par with Yamashita Treasures which had good ratings. This is going to be a little epic, grounded on reality and on a present time setup. You'll understand how these people become who they are before they divulge themselves as superheroes. Enchong wanted to be Lastikman once because people who have done it got immortalized and this is the same thing he wanted to happen with My Kung Fu  Chinito. Hopefully the future Kung Fu Chinito will have to own the medallion that he'll be receiving from Richard Yap in this show. The scenes are really hard, they also had to work even if they're hurt since the scenes are very hard to do as it's choreographed by David Chua, a professional stunt coordinator.

Ms. Mari Lamasan wrote the script and it's an original concept, this is directed by Erick Salud. They were initially doing a love story but since they needed to make a character out of it, they made it into something like a reluctant hero instead. They just followed how the story would evolve on the script, eventually they almost didn't need a love interest because the characters themselves already had a story to tell. You'll really love how My Kung Fu Chinito will turn out to be a well loved superhero, especially for the kids! Richard's character will also be bearing revenge while Enchong will be just loving the fact that he's going to be handling the responsibility of being an icon. He proudly says he wants to be one. He wants Kung Fu Chinito to be remembered like that. The director is also aware and very careful not to anger anyone in the Chinese community, and Richard Yap says most Filipino Chinese are not in agreement with what China is doing but it's really up to governments to talk. Rest assured, everything in the project is just feel good. Enchong added, My Kung Fu Chinito is also about bullying and how people should not do it for the wrong or right reasons.

Wansapanataym Presents: My Kung Fu Chinito will be shown on ABSCBN this Sunday evening so watch out for it!

Gary Valenciano Endorses DiabetaMil

Spent the afternoon at luxurious Victorinos in 11th Jamboree in QC. We were there to welcome DiabetaMil's newest brand ambassador Mr. Gary Valenciano. As we all know, if there's someone suffering from this ailment that has survived and enjoyed life throughout the years, Gary is somehow the epitomy of that. He's a great spirited dancer, he sings wonderfully anytime and he had brought diabetes care in the forefront that he always mentions these in interviews. 

"We believe that through the products that we have, we would make Filipino diabetic lives better. People with it can enjoy normal lives and we can have a healthy and beautiful life. We need to ensure diabetamil is available nationwide." 

This advertisement is a little different because we need to show that we can live a normal life. So we got my son to direct it for us, and he's here. 

Gary began telling us his story, he says "I was 14 years old and an athlete at La Salle but I was losing weight even if I ate a lot. I had my sugar level too high and my body was eating fat, my Mom saw that I was not gaining weight. First test I had 312 and had a normal diet. My sugar level went up as high as 722 and I confirmed that I had type 1 diabetes. The lifespan is actually 30 years when you get diagnosed, but I'm way over that. That's how it started. I always had to watch what I eat and put into my body. There are times when I met death a couple of times when my sugar levels go down and nobody could wake me up. It's a serious disease to have, much like cancer and heart attack. I have not endorsed anything that won't be able to use in the long run and Diabetamil is finally something good. Some say they are fat free, sugar free but tastes so bad. They need to have something in their diet with this in the mix, I do a lot of things and it's good that I can take it with any meal. Diabetes regardless of anything that comes with it isn't one thing, you need medication, lifestyle, excercise and diet. Diabetamil contains all the good things. Don't let diabetes control your life, you have to go out there and enjoy it! It's been a challenge these 37 years and I've had ups and downs, but I'm living it and doctors in the US ought to give me an award for living beyond the years that books say."

Diabetamil is okay to take by type 1 and 2 diabetes patients, you may need to consult your doctor for proper meal planning. It costs Php 220 and Php 485 for the bigger one and. It doesn't taste different as the cookie and drink and is available in Vanilla, Chocolate and Mochachino at all leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide!

Nino and Alonzo Mulach for McDonalds this Fathers Day

We visited Mc Donalds Eugenio Lopez branch in front of ABSCBN earlier. Saw the set of Minions Happy Meal toys in the special kiosk they made for this release. Apparently they're opening reservations for the cute little creatures from June 15 to 20. 

It costs Php 949 for the whole set of 10 and they highly suggest you order it via the branch you frequent to. The happy meal stubs that come with it should only be claimed on the store where you bought it from. It's a nice thing to do so you don't have to go to other places, like in my case it's either here or the Tomas Morato Roces branch. 

They come in ten different designs and I saw Alonzo Mulach playing with them earlier. What's neat is that each piece does a different thing, very unique actually. Almost the same size as we've seen last year so paying for it in a package is really convenient if you're that much of a collector.

The happy meal claim stubs are in different meal choices too, 10 in fact. You should probably order one now if you haven't yet because chances are, it might get sold out on the last day. Filipinos always do that LOL.

Oh and of course, I went to the Mc Donalds event earlier to see and talk with Niño Mulach and his cute little son Alonzo. I guess he's really following his dad's footsteps as he's a child star already. The crowd went a little crazy seeing him inside the store but he was his cute little self saying hi to everyone just like Dad used to be when he was the wonder boy of Philippine cinema.

It's touching and the official advertisement is already available online, but it'll be out on public TV's this Fathers Day. Make sure you bring your Dad to McDonald's this weekend and treat him to lunch or dinner. Then ask him to buy you those cute little toys you've always wanted, a fair trade LOL!

I'll post more photos of Nino and Alonzo Mulach maybe tomorrow, for the meantime please tell your friends about Minions and the new touching Fathers Day commercial. It's really good!
