Chan-Lim: Behind the Brushstrokes

The Chan Lim Family has been creating masterpieces and sharing their knowledge in Chinese painting to aspiring artists. Showcasing their talents, why not perfect and just in time for Chinese New Year- Year of the Rooster. Their works of art are displayed the SM NORTH (The Block), you wouldn’t miss it. The works of art will be available to the public till February 12, 2017. – In celebration of Chan-Lim’s 80th birthday!

Over the years, Chan-Lim family has valued art and as history says their first interaction to painting was on 1998 – A Chinese Style painting was given as a gift to the main patriarch on his 6oth birthday called “One Fine Day” which is still displayed at their Family Residence.

The exhibit contains art on Porcelain and Rice Paper(scroll painting) with the use of OIL & WATERCOLOR. I am personally a fan of the masterpieces that has PANDAS on it. I did personally studied oil painting back in highschool and I understand the time and effort to create and produce a piece of art.

You can log on to www.chanlim.com to inquire if you guys are interested in seeing more of their work, meet the artists and get lessons too 🙂

 

Jollibee ‘s Pepper Cream Burger Steak and New Look!

Your all time favorite classic  burger steak gets an upgrade and a new addition to the JB menu – The Jollibee Pepper Cream Burger Steak – JB’s signature beef patty with 100% rich beef, rich sauce made of cream and black pepper topped with sweet corn kernels and served with steam rice. It will be available in all Jollibee stores nationwide for dine-in, take-out and drive-thru for just only PHP 50 for 1 pc solo and PHP 55 comes with nestea icetea YAY!

Review: 

I am a fan of the classic burger steak and ofcourse the phenomenal CHICKEN JOY – The thing with the Pepper Cream Burger Steak is that is something to get used to from the usual but its delish! The pepper in the sauce did not overpower- it met the pinoy taste and the sauce’s thickness is just right compared to the classic that is way thicker and more flavor. I just love the sweet corn toppings because it adds fiber and mixes well with the flavor. The patty is still the same kind of patty you get from JB. It’s worth the try guys and super affordable pa PHP 50 lang and may drink for additional PHP 5. 

 

 

In line with the launch, is also the presentation of Jollibee’s new look/ interior/concept – a very modern pinoy vibe with murals and artworks by EGG FIASCO (known for the famous BGC Murals) and the crew/staff uniforms designed by renowned Filipino designer – Francis Libran.

SHAKEAWAY to Manila!

With over 180 varieties of concoctions and mixes for you to try – Shakeaway is the biggest menu so far I’ve seen here in Manila – It’s definitely unlimited creamy filled goodness 🙂

Shakeaway started in the UK and considered as the biggest milkshake bar company in the world and the original RE-INVENTOR of the milkshakes in 1993. It expanded all across Europe and in the middle east – that is why the brand is familiar to me because there is a Shakeaway branch in Muscat – place where I grew up. 

Shakeaway has find its place in the tropical Philippines and opened their first branch at UP Town Center, Katipunan (Ground Floor Phase 2 – near Mango, H&M & Burger King). It’s unusual for serving a huge menu and you have no idea where to start and what to order. You’ll also love their wall of treats too! The menu also paves way to the traditional pinoy taste such as CHOCNUT, CHOCOLATE COATED POLVORON, CHOCO MALLOWS, CORN, JACKFRUIT, MACAPUNO, PANDAN CUPCAKIE, PEANUT KISSES and PILI NUTS UBE. 

How do you place an order?

Start off with choosing your SIZE (Regular is PHP 190 and Large is PHP 250), ICE CREAM or FAT FREE FROZEN YOGHURT – the base is vanilla as standard but if you opt for a dietary/healthy option go for fro-yo. Pick your FLAVORS (First flavor is FREE & additional cost PHP 60): Fruity, sweety, chocolatey, biscuity and everything elsey. Add your EXTRAS (Toppings, extra thick and ice cream PHP 30 and additional supplements for PHP 60) – The staff is very generous and helpful with regarding dietary concerns and even adding more sugar if necessary and preferred. Do you know there is even HOT MILKSHAKES? 

For the FAMOUS NAMED MILKSHAKES, I recommend the best-selling DAVE – who doesn’t love KINDER BUENO! and FERRERO ROCHER with crumbled cadbury flakes on top. They have others on the menu like the CASEY, FYNN, HARRY, JOE, JOSE (Ube & Macapuno with pinipig on top), KAI, MAE, MAX, MIKE, SOL, STEPHEN and TYLER. For the price of PHP 250 REGULAR and PHP 310 for the LARGE. 

Shakeaway is not only about MILKSHAKES, they have also FRUITY SMOOTHIES (PHP 190 Regular and PHP 250 Large). Additional flavors would cost PHP 60 and NAMES SMOOTHIES cost PHP 250 for Regular and PHP 310 for LARGE. 

Also Shaved ice(lESS THAN 160 CALORIES PER SERVING), fro-yo and low fat fries – which I’m looking forward to try soon!  

Okay, I know its a bity pricey compared to other MILKSHAKE BARS but it the QUALITY of INGREDIENTS USED and the sweetness level is just alright. 

For the VIP CLUB ROYALTY CARD – Collect 10 stamps and claim your FREE STANDARD REGULAR MILKSHKAKE.
