Perfect For Rainy Days: Woo Galbi

Have you guys tried WOO GALBI? If not, then you are missing a lot. On the 6th Floor of Shangrila Edsa Mall's East Wing - particularly on the right side, they've got a huge prolly 100 seat restaurant that can accommodate you for brunch, lunch, dinner or if you just want to have a quick bite. The ambiance would be perfect for business or pleasure, or even if you just want to hang around with friends and family. As for us, we went there because it was raining profusely in Manila. This is a place that serves Korean, so we were looking for something authentic but still comforting. We've got to have that.

Ojing-O Ramyeon

They call this the Ojing-O Ramyeon. If my hunch is correct, they used a kimchi laden broth on this one hence it's a little spicy. It's nothing that wouldn't be tolerable, actually I find it real smooth and you can smell the chili and squid essence in every slurp. It's also got fresh Korean noodles and served with egg. Don't mind people when eating Ramyeon because it is encouraged to actually do that "slurping" action. It's like giving the chef a pat on the back because you're enjoying the dish.

Jeyuk Ramyeon

They also got Jeyuk Ramyeon which is the Pork version of it. Equally good in my opinion but if you are a little allergic to seafood like I am, I'd take this one. I still tasted the same broth. Oh and yes, they have this in a promo from 2-5PM Monday to Saturday. For only 250 pesos, you can have hot and delicious Woo Galbi Ramyeon... but make sure no sharing or leftovers (see the fine print!). This also can't be in conjunction with government issued discounts. Anyway, it's worth it!

Hawak Kamay Grand Press Conference

We met a very happy Piolo Pascual during the grand press conference of his new project called Hawak Kamay. You must have already seen it since it's been shown since Monday and I bet you already are hooked to the story. He's a struggling singer and performer that is met by a need for him to foster a couple of kids during this time. He signed up as their guardian initially as a requirement to adopt them which his sister and her husband made arrangements for but when they both died on a car accident, they were left with him... without a choice.

The kids were played by child superstars Zaijian Jaranilla who plays Raymond aka "Emong", Xyriel Manabat who plays Sandara or "Dara", Andrea Brillantes who plays the role of Lorry, and the cute Yesha Camile who plays Bituin or "Ningning" in the story. When asked about the experience, they only said good things about him and Zaijan mentions how generous Piolo Pascual is, even giving him a watch on their first few taping days.

Axel Torres, Sofia Andres, Ryan Bang and Victor Neri are also part of the cast. Axel just came out of the PBB house and it's a great deal for him to have projects this big left and right. He's thankful of the care and breaks that ABSCBN is giving him. Ryan Bang was hilarious in the event, we couldn't stop laughing at his antics even if he didn't do it on purpose. Victor Neri has been gone for quite a while and this seems to be his come back vehicle, not bad that it's a great series. I hear he's going to have some more now that he's back in the grind.

Iza Calzado and Nikki Gil were so gorgeous during the press conference. Iza plays the role of an Attorney sought to fix the adoption papers and custody of the kids. She was a little skeptical with Piolo's ability to take care of them but I think there seems to be some sort of romantic angle brewing there somewhere. The conflict is, Nikki Gil plays Piolo's long time girlfriend who decided to go and work on a cruise ship because they didn't know how to make ends meet. It was a little painful for both of them, but will this be something that would be complicated once the Attorney gets involved with Piolo in the show?

Oh and if you're asking why things are so complicated, if I'm not mistaken... they have about 7 Directors working on this project but the one on paper is only 3 namely Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Mae Czarina Cruz-Alviar, Rechie del Carmen. They'll conquer ratings for sure. Though it is going to be hard to also beat the other program from GMA which is Nino, Piolo doesn't  mind at all and he doesn't even think about it because all he wants to do is make sure he does a good job with this show.

 

Now that you've watched the first few episodes, what do you think about Hawak Kamay and the cast?

#CrackThat Greenwich Pizza With Elmo Magalona

We went to Greenwich Pizza a couple of days ago in their SM North Edsa branch. We were there to discover another innovation in Pizza courtesy of the good people from Greenwich. The thin crust pizza just got even better as they laid out the best crust that you can hear cracking right from the moment you take a bite making this a whole new #CrackThat experience that only they can deliver. The thinner crust was a welcome development as they'll still have the same good toppings on it too.

Lulu De Castro Senior Marketing Manager for Brand Development in Greenwich says "The thin crust pizza that everyone loves just got better with this #CrackThat campaign, now we can say that we have everything that a Pinoy Pizza lover can ask for".

Ms. Cel Javalosa Brand Manager for Pizzas says "We only want to amplify the difference of our pizza and prove why it's number one in the market, this is why we've come out with the best crust that cracks right from the moment you bite off the pizza.... you can't find that anywhere else in the Philippines". Aside from that, they also announced their newest endorser!
