and Trip Ko Lang was happy to be there! Last 7 Aug 2010, I attended Eats Asia 2 at NBC Tent, thanks to 1 Zaldivar Event for the invite and their cool VIP pass! 

Eats Asia 2 at the Fort

Eats Asia is a celebration of culinary favorites from some of the world’s favorite destinations. Different food & demo stations were put up representing some Asian countries like Japan, Thailand, China, Persia, Vietnam and Philippines.

Culinary Schools booth

As soon as we arrived in the venue, we started sampling food from top culinary schools like GCIC, CSB-HRIM, ISCAHM, CCA and a lot more. Popular restaurants were also present like Red Kimono, Binalot, The Coffee Beanery, Kopiroti, Bee Cheng Hiang, and more. Having a VIP pass, we were entitled to free lunch and snack from Tamayo’s catering and Juan Carlo. Yumyum!

Program was non-stop, cooking demos were lined up from different chefs and culinary schools. Learned interesting recipes and helpful cooking styles.

Thanks Eats Asia for this wonderful, yummy and satisfying foodie event! We were also lucky to be included in the first 100 to get loot bags… distribution was a bit disorganized but it was worth the wait…Thanks again Sky Cable and Asian Food Channel!

It has been ages since my closest friends and I had dinner, we tried a new place along Jupiter St. in Makati, it was called Gino’s Eats and Beats. It was a perfect place for small groups just like us with cozy ambiance and good food; a great spot for simple talks and catching up.

Looking for something light to eat, we ordered for Gino’s 3 Cheese Sandwich, it was really yummy, thanks to the pesto flavor which made it superb!

Here comes the most-loved Eggs Benedict, egg and cheezy topping overload… Yum yum!

We also tried one of Gino’s best-sellers, BBQ spare ribs, too much fat but taste was good and even better with the BBQ sauce that goes with it.

Overall, our dining experience was great, good food and service, clean and cozy ambiance, and reasonable prices. Too bad, there was a private function that evening so we were not able to stay that long and didn’t experience Gino’s Beats which usually happens in late evenings… I guess there’s always a next time and some other time to try Gino’s other best dishes.
