I've been so happy to have been part of the few who have been privileged to have a glimpse of the best dishes that can be done with Lee Kum Kee. It's a well loved brand that has been in the country for years and this time we're doing it in 121 Grille and Restaurant, did it in Upper McKinley Road at McKinley Hill. There's a lot out there and to stand out, they really need to do their homework when it comes to food. With that in mind, they whipped up a few dishes using the Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce and the Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce.
We had appetizers first and this was really good Cheese Sticks from 121 Grille. You MUST order this!
They have fresh fruit juices, ask your friendly waiters for what they have in the restaurant and they can make one for you. I had Ripe Mango Shake for starters.
The Calamari was nice, they've got aioli sauce together with it. Pretty good to match with beer during happy hour. They served this quite fast as it only takes a few minutes to fry.
If you want something more filling, the Lumpiang Shanghai is a good choice. A little oily but it does the job!
They've go really good wings, a little spicy but that kick will make you eat more. Make sure to order rice separately, or perhaps beer would go good with this too!
The Gambas was a hit, a lot of them actually finished the plate after a few minutes.
This is Grilled Liempo, I liked this a lot and it's pretty authentic.
I like the Kilawin too, pretty fresh and make sure you eat this right after they put it on the table. You can have this with beer too!
Get ready with a show when they serve you the Sizzling Chicken dish
This is the Sizzling Kung Fu Wings, part of the things they made with the Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce. Take a photo of this and post it on your social media accounts together with #BigGrillMasters and #LeeKumKeex121Grille hashtags and you could win prizes from the restaurant and Lee Kum Kee too!
Aside from that, these Pulled Pork Sliders are included too with the special menu. Try it out and use the same hashtags I mentioned earlier (#BigGrillMasters #LeeKumKeex121Grille) then post it on your social media channels and you could win GC's and prizes from 121 Grille and Restaurant and Lee Kum Kee!
Remember, this is only out for a limited time. Run to McKinley Hill's mall where you'll find 121 Grille and Restaurant so you can get these lovely dishes prepared with love from Lee Kum Kee sauces!
A surprise wasn't a surprise if some of us knew about it, they kept this in the wraps for a few weeks. I've been hearing different humors about what was going to happen on this day but all along, I thought it was just going to be another technological wonder that they have come up with because after all, they're Smart and PLDT. When they came up on stage I couldn't believe they would be starting to change something that's already iconic, the logo that they've been carrying for years. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at Smart Communications Incorporated and PLDT's new logos. Tons of media, influencers and celebrities were at the Makati Shangri-la to witness it and for me it was already a great night, but they had A LOT up their sleeves. They did a live announcement of it first on their Facebook Page and did it on the PLDT Building along Makati Avenue. Here's how it went down!
It was awesome! We were all in a festive mood after that. Change has come for the BIGGEST mobile network in the country. But they didn't really stop there. The lights were turned off, the stage became a little busier than usual, then I suddenly saw someone come up on stage. My JAW dropped. It was freaking Buddy Zabala.... then after a few seconds, Marcus, then after that, Raymund Marasigan, then my rock god Ely Buendia. I couldn't believe it, my super favorite band is right in front of me, after YEARS of not playing together... it was THE ERASERHEADS! I was about to pass out, while freaking out, and shouting my lungs out because they were there, in the flesh and they did this reunion just for us and SMART!
Now I promised my friends, I promised a lot of people that I wasn't going to be selfish so here's the concert on video. I uploaded this for two days so PLEASE don't complain why I'm singing in the background, because they are like Justin Bieber to the millenials LOL! Some tech bloggers were already looking at me like I'm crazy, I'm very sorry but you don't understand how BIG OF A DEAL this is for me so if you were a little bothered by how I was reacting while they were playing, again I'M SO SORRY!
Thank you so much to SMART for checking A TON on my bucket list. I am still in shock while I'm writing this article. Thank you to Smart and PLDT for making this happen! Congratulations on the new logo and I'm sure this is the start of so much more for the Filipino people!

Still trying to find the perfect gift for Dad? Well I just received a bag of goodies from Nestlé Health Science group and it's got all these lovely products in it.
Dad would love a dose of Calcium from the Bear Brand Adult Plus, to give him strength in his bones even as he gets older. Age is not an excuse not to drink milk you know!
For me, I don't really have breakfast (yes I know it's unhealthy) but if I do I need to have Milo everyday so I'd still get energy. I'd also like to have a bowl of Fitnesse as breakfast cereals have really high fiber content. I'd have Milo with that too because I'm not that fond with milk.
If it's noontime, I just don't want to be sitting in front of the tv without a drink because even if it's officially the end of summer, it's still so darn hot outside. My Nestea keeps me hydrated, a welcome treat when I'm so thirsty!
At night, I'd have my cup of Nescafe Classic paired with Nestlé Coffee Mate. One teaspoon, hot water and about two teaspoons of creamer is my formula for a good cup. No sugar, I don't need a lot of that in my life. The smooth creamy and slightly bitter brew just hits the spot.
Now if you forgot to give Dad a gift, go to the groceries tomorrow and grabe these treats for him. At least he'll know you are thinking about him on this special day! Thanks Nestlé Health Science group! :)
