Bulgogi Brothers Outs New Offers!

I fell in love with Korean cuisine years ago when I got a glimpse of it in Korean dramas. Now it’s like in every corner of every street, every mall we go to and it’s a good thing. Now the bold and spicy flavors of Korea is accessible, I was sure we’d have choices when the time comes and it has been realized. Authentic Korean cuisine need not a trip to Seoul anymore because in the country, there’s Bulgogi Brothers.

One of my favorites is the Army Stew or what is called Buddae Jjigae. Often times, it’s comfort food, a thing you could have when it’s raining outside and all you want is a hot bowl of it and a side of gochujang and kimchi. Bulgogi brothers offers their meals with refillable rice and lettuce though for barbecue dishes, so maybe that’s a better idea for protein lovers. Oh that’s me! Best offer? They’ve got that!

They also have Stir-fried Seafood, Spicy Chicken, Beef BBQ and Pork Bulgogi on weekdays, maybe you can opt for that if you want something savory.

Meat Platter! Your protein dreams in a plate!

Rice Bowl goodness which you can refill to your hearts content!

Comfort food in a pot on top of your table, noodles with everything you love plus a bunch of sides!

Currently, Bulgogi Brothers’ branches are at Level 3, Greenbelt 5; G/F, Venice Grand Canal Mall McKinley Hill, Taguig City, at the 2F Entertainment Mall of SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, at the 2/F Resorts World Manila, Newport Mall, Newport City, Pasay City, the G/F of Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City, at the 2F of Evia Lifestyle Center in Daang Hari Road, Alabang, Muntinlupa City and Level 2, Fountain Court, Davao City for those down south.

Have your Korean fix here soon!

Paulo Avelino and Janine Gutierrez for “If We Don’t Make It”

If We Don’t Make It, a movie produced by T-Rex Entertainment directed by Prime Cruz and written by Jen Chuaunsu. Lovers who have unfinished issues. Janine Gutierrez and Paulo Avelino are from different stations, it wasn’t an issue, they made it happen so now they are working with Prime on this project. Prime says “I like their previous projects and I have seen their work even before this was pitched, I knew I wanted to work with them. In this movie you will find the four of us to define this genre.”

Janine says “I am called AM in this film. I will meet Harold in college, messy but optimistic and he’s the exact opposite. I am not the typical good girl, she is a go getter. I could visualize how she is. If we don’t make it, maybe we can try again. I like the story because I can relate to it, you don’t even have to say it because they could feel it, to be heartbroken, subtle but real. In real life, you have to weigh how people feel and you don’t want to get rejected. Although there is always going to be a fresh take, a different way of telling the story.”

Paulo Avelino adds “My character here is a little different and hopefully we can finish this in the last quarter of the year. This isn’t a hugot movie, the treatment and the script is just the same with me, you love her but you can’t tell her, it’s a wasted moment, that you still don’t know if you would pursue it or not. My hair is for several projects. I have always had the same haircut, so I am trying to change the look, maybe soon I’ll have it all off. This movie though is a slice of life, in one point in our lives. I always check the material to make sure it is something that I haven’t done yet. I got the gist of what the outcome is, not to box myself but it has range of what people could do. I was getting indie projects a lot and got so excited when it is constantly evolving. It is deeper to your core and you have to bring out layers of your character. I made the conscious choice about 3/4 years ago. People are looking for something new, for quality.”

It will be something like post hugot era, another niche he (director Prime)would like to do. Jen the writer says “Prime and I wanted to do this, took bits and pieces in our lives and put t together so we could explore it more, a relationship-non relationship film.”

So we really have something to look forward to late this year, I hope they can make it fresh, new and relatable, parts of it is Prime Cruz’s life, part of it is fiction. It would be interesting how they would tell it on screen, especially since the girlfriend (not the ex) is the writer.

See it on theaters soon!

WOK2GO Opens Double Dragon Plaza Branch in Pasay City

Fresh ingredients, hot out of the wok and fast service, this is how WOK2GO promises to deliver their best wok mixes to you at their newest branch in Double Dragon Plaza's Tower 4 in Pasay City. I have seen their first branch at the Uptown Mall top floor food center which mostly catered to a take out audience. This time however, they've set up a 50 seater industrial cozy restaurant at the back of the building, we took strides to get there a few days ago.

They had almost the same menu with the addition of new dimsum items like Shrimp and Pork Siomai, plus Lumpiang Shanghai.  Average meal of Siomai Rice would only cost around 95 bucks and their signature wok mixes cost 120 and up depending on how you want it done. They do customize so if you are a little adventurous, just let them know how you want it done, choose the ingredients and voila! Your own perfect bowl! They say the flavor is in the putting so they have Signature Sauces from the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, so you get a little bit of an Asian flair in each dish.

Here's what we had that afternoon:

WOK2GO Co-Founder Kim Garcia says “It took us 2 years to develop the menu. It’s our best dishes and we contributed on what we serve in the restaurant. We have new dimsum choices in the Wok 2 Go Double Dragon Plaza branch. This is their second one after the successful first one at Uptown Mall. We are also using this business to employ PWD’s which are now part of our crew. All our utensils and packaging are Earth friendly. We cook food fast as well. Right now we have take out available via our own proprietary app Grab Food, Zomato, Food Panda.” 

I had my bowl customized with double beef, veggies, kimchi, green curry sauce and bits of chili. It was so good... make sure you eat it while it's hot!

If you're up to it, some of their prep time only runs around less than 3minutes because they know most workers only spend an hour for lunch or dinner, they also keep the nutrients on veggies because of the wok method of cooking.

Again, WOK2GO is located at Double Dragon Plaza's Tower 4 (Ground Floor Perimeter). If you get to the main entrance of the mall, just go inside, go out the left most side of the mall and turn right. Go take your taste buds to an exciting journey of Asia through their wok mixes, it's comfort food!

Megan, Kris, Rayver and Kim On GMA’s Afternoon Prime

Had so much fun at the media conference for the new show Hanggang Sa Dulo ng Buhay Ko for GMA’s Afternoon Prime. It will be showing after the hit show Dragon Lady ends, a tall order but this is an entirely different story, something new for TV viewers. It will star Megan Young, Kris Bernal, Rayver Cruz and Kim Domingo.

Kris Bernal says “This project is really hard for me because it’s a horror flick, I had to watch more of Japanese horror films to prepare for this but I am so afraid of it so I had to really face my fears.”

Boots Anson Roa says “In this series I am going to be the anti hero, very conservative, I will be against them from the start. I will be involved in their love life, knowing how schizo in her family runs, I wanted to be protective of him but he chose to marry the girl. Yuen will be also dear to me, he’s the son of Rayver and Kris in the show. I’ll be genuinely taking care of him.”

Kim Domingo says “I can’t reveal much but I am very close with Megan’s character. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Beverly Salviejo adds “Everything that I did includes me being scared, but I am feeling and witnessing everything, so the difference is I am with Ms. Boots Anson Roa here, and we have beliefs we applied in situations. You’ll have to watch out for that.

Here’s part of the mediacon on video:

Men, psychology, mental illness, mixing it with horror elements, plus dealing with an “other woman” who is a ghost, it’s going to be interesting, see it on July 22.
