ROSSINI Serves Comforting Italian Dishes at S Maison

If you've been the person to choose where to eat in the Mall of Asia grounds, I've got good news for you. There's this nice and quaint Italian restaurant at S Maison's 2nd Floor called ROSSINI that I think you should visit. It's light and bright interiors, cozy seats and classy decor won't be the only reason to go here because the food is equally great.

Mango Cannoli and Meatball in Marinara

Cappellini Ai Frutti Di Mare for the seafood lovers out there!

Fruit Drinks and their signature ROSSINI Pizza! The pizza is legendary because it contains chopped up foie gras combined with fig. It was the right amount of sweet and savory. Best dish served that afternoon.

Steak with Salsa Rosso. Angus Steak with roasted asparagus, mushrooms, onions and potatoes.

They also have a private room at the back that can accommodate around 20. If you're looking for a date place, a place to celebrate your birthdays or intimate gatherings, go give ROSSINI a visit. Food is comforting, best shared, because like Italians, we are family-centric.

Again, it's at the 2nd floor of S MAISON at Conrad, Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City. Trust me on the pizza. 

 

DIMSUM TREATS Opens Newest Store at Samson Road Caloocan

Dimsum Treats has been everywhere, and there's a new branch that just opened at the front of University of the East Caloocan Campus, and STI along Samson Road, Caloocan City. I'm no stranger in this area because I've spent quite a number of years finishing my engineering degree. Like any student, I try to make sure my allowance would last a week because if I spend too much, I'll be hungry over the weekend by force LOL. Students here know a deal when they see one, and I'm glad I got to see this new Dimsm Treats branch open so they could have choices other than the usual carinderia fare (not that there's anything wrong with it.).

This place offers dimsum favorites but at a fraction of chinese restaurant cost. They have Special Siomai, Meaty Mushroom Siomai (a bit earthy), Chinese Chicken Siomai (lighter than pork), Fried Sharksfin Dumpling (if you prefer the crunchy exterior), Pork and Quail Egg Siomai (which I ate loads of), Japanese Siomai (which was ordered by a lot of people while I was there), and the best seller Premium Pork and Shrimp Siomai. They packaged these with rice too, even with Yang Chow Rice versions if you love bits of veggies and chorizo on your plate.  They also have a really good Pork Chop which I would liken to some of those famous ones in Chinatown because they taste like it.

Pork Chop Meal which they'd gladly slice up for you!

Now if you live a bit far from Samson Road and want a dimsum fix, they have an official website where you can order and save a lot rather than ordering via food apps. Just head on to dimsumtreats.com and get your personal favorites. They have those that are already cooked, even have them in frozen packs so you can take it elsewhere and just heat it up when you get there.

It didn't last a few minutes when I placed it on the dinner table because as attested by family at home, these variety of Siomai just tasted fresh, just like it was taken out of the steamer.

So if you're in the area, go have your Dimsum Treats in this branch at Ma. Cristina Building's ground floor. They have a place to dine in and can fit a few people. As for me, I'll be back there for the Mushroom Siomai and Porkchop soon.

LG Philippines Dares You to "Ask LG"

I've seen it on social channels several times, and now know why they're daring you to "Ask LG".

It's their initiative to make sure customers of their home appliances get to be closer than before with the brand, their customer service channels and information about your LG product. This is quite good to see especially from a consumer standpoint because it takes product knowledge to another level. Online content is useful and if it is used correctly, it should be data driven, much like what they are doing in "Ask LG".

In the series of videos, they will take frequently asked questions and make sure to answer details that consumers should and want to know about their LG products. This is actually big because as of this writing, the 100 videos they have published has already been watched by 26.5 Million times, and been subscribed by over 119 thousand followers on socials.

Imagine how easy this would be to be watched by customers who have access to the internet so they wouldn't have to go through the arduous task of calling, email or brick and mortar ways of getting help. It's like they've made these so you get the information you need, when you need it. This includes troubleshooting guides, product pages, things that you can see fast when you click and watch it.

In the videos, they include vacuum nozzles, cleaning sofa, why there's no ice on your freezer, things like that. They also teach through these videos how you can take care of your TV screens, your refrigerators, and the rest of your LG appliances. Make sure you follow their social channels now so you can get a whole lot more about your favorite LG products, simply online.

No more drama, just Ask LG!
