Jollibee's Baked Hashbrown Burger: Crispylicious!

I thought it was a bit weird the very first time I saw my fellow blogger Vina Estrella of vinatastestheworld.blogspot.com put french fries on her burger before taking a huge bite of the sandwich. It turned out she was not the only one who does that "weird" habit though. Upon probing for sometime, I found out that more people would actually enjoy eating their burgers more when there's something crunchy inside their burgers, and I'm not talking about the crisp green lettuce here, I mean pieces of french fries. 

Well, I guess Jollibee heard their clamor. Here comes their newest product, the Jollibee Hash Brown Burger. Baked in its golden brown goodness, I had to admit their Hashbrown burger was something to look forward to. It had the crisp I've been looking for and thank God it's not greasy (again, I guess because it's baked!). It had my all-time favorite Yum burger inside and some melted cheese, thereby making my meal an enjoyable experience. 

I know you'd say that hash browns are meant only for breakfast. But the good news is that this product is being served all-day. Jollibee Hashbrown Burger is an ideal comfort food. And unlike the other fast food that also uses hashbrowns on burgers, Jollibee's Hash brown burger is mouth-watering on its own even without the huge size. It will remind you of childhood memories you've spent at Jollibee and it also satisfies your french fries/potato cravings as well. Try it and you'll see exactly what I mean. And my final verdict: It is indeed crispylicious!

Richmonde Hotel's Great Array of Food

They were sooo goood to look at that I didn't want to eat at first. Sumptuous buffet meals were specially created by Richmonde Hotel's resident chef Bienvenido B. Chavez. Luscious array of chocolate bars and cakes abound. Chocolate is mostly everyone's favorite comfort food, especially the kids and kids-at-heart. We were fortunate to indulge in the richest dessert concoctions with the wide selection of sweets and delicacies expertly created by Chef Bien. It was a haven for those with sweet tooth, a dizzying display of pralines, cream puffs with caramel glazed, cookies, cakes, fudge, chocolate gateaux--its got almost everything you'll ever wanted from the house of Hansel and Gretel.

Sweet treats are made of these.

 Meanwhile, those who have been hankering for an epicurean feast need not to go farther as chef Bien also offers those with insatiable appetites to be pleased with an overload of their favorite meals from appetizers to desserts. Diners like us were able to fill our hungry stomach with perfectly tasty herbed chicken with salmon, grilled pork medallions, fish dijon laced fillets, and my personal favorite--baked cheesy croissant bars in Japanese sauce! It tasted just right--flaky like any croissant biscuit, crunchy and chewy with its baked and slightly burned  gruyere cheese.  I swear, I kept coming back for more of these goodies.

Chicken and salmon galore in herbed sauce.

 To make dining guests more pleasurable, fettucinne alfredo was also served for those craving for Italian cuisines. There were also a salad bar where you can create your own salad or D-I-Y salad bar, choose your own lettuce: arugula, iceberg, romaine and top it with cheese, nuts, hams, fruits, veggies and cold cuts. Their ham and potato salad is one of the best I've ever tasted!

Curly in a row: Fettucinne Alfredo in its finest!

My fave of all: Baked Crostinni in Gruyere cheese

Mediterranean dishes were also served with chickpeas, hummus, pita breads, rotis among others, giving vegetarians another reason to be happy.  The foods were not only well presented but also deliciously good. I'd definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Eating here at Richmonde Hotel is truly a great experience for us. With a friendly and helpful staff too, I see myself coming back again next time.

Liquid Pool Bar @ Manila Ocean Park

Their signage says it all: The first of its kind Pool Bar!

Weekends are fun with colleagues and friends, but definitely more fun when discovering new places with them. At least that is one advice we constantly share with friends who seem to visit the same spots weekend after weekend. Recently, we encouraged them to give Manila Ocean Park’s Liquid Pool Lounge Bar a go. 

Since its opening, Liquid has remained true to its promise of consistency and committed to provide clean, comfortable, safe enjoyable nightlife at valuable rates.  Liquid is also an outlet that caters to birthdays, meeting, convention, exhibition facilities and corporate events or simply a hangout place for yuppies (read: young professionals) after work.

Infinity pool and water jet pools awaits party-goers.

Bean chairs and great music in the company of friends.

Pumped up your adrenalin in the music, this is the hippest place to go in the Metro!

Locals and even out-of-towners have turned Liquid into a watering hole (no pun intended) on Friday and Saturday nights. Of course, it is virtually impossible to be in this environment and not treat one’s self to leisure. Manila Ocean Park is the ideal place for bonding with family and friends. It has now evolved into an integrated resort destination that houses exciting, enticing, and enriching marine life attractions, not to mention a few other lifestyle hotspots such as a wellness eco spa, fine dining restaurants and bars like White Moon, Genius, Liquid and Sandbar. Hotel H20 is also nearby. Manila Ocean Park’s own hotel enjoys the distinction of having world-class, no frills amenities and accomodations.

Grilled barbecue tops my MUST-EAT at Liquid!

Liquid's Grilled Chicken are also to-die-for!

Instead of a bowl of rice, I strongly suggest you try their Fettucine Alfredo!

First-time guests are constantly surprised that there is a Liquid pool lounge at the basement of Acquatica Center. They have excellent food and really friendly service. I absolutely love this place. Aside from its cozy ambiance, comfortable bean chairs (but there are also regular chairs) to sit in especially if you’ re all wet from the pool. Plus it doesn’t get too crowded unlike in other bars I’ve been to. Rest assured, you can just chill, hangout, relax in the company of your friends.
