YUMMY YUMMY: PALM GRILL

-

I am excited to share with you guys that there is a new chicken place in town and it is called Palm Grill. Located in Tomas Morato, they have all these exciting food offerings that you won’t find in your usual chicken places.


Their signature dish is called the Green Chicken, which is chicken slow-cooked in coconut milk mixed with seven Asian herbs and spices. The sauce will remind you of pesto or laing, but it is neither of the two. It’s kind of hard to describe, but it sure is delicious. I guess there’s really no other way to prove this than by finding out for yourself.


The Green Chicken is perfect with their turmeric rice. Don’t worry – this is not just plain rice turned yellow because of food coloring; it is turmeric-flavored rice so it is actually tasty – and healthy.

Palm Grill has other types of chicken. For those who want it spicy, there is the Labuyo Chicken. For those craving more familiar comfort food, there is Oswalda’s Fried.


But my personal favorite is the Olympus Roast! I like it because it comes with a sweet-tangy peanut sauce that I just can’t get enough of. They thankfully give an extra serving of the sauce!


This new restaurant owned by businessman Miguel Moreno and news reporter Nelson Canlas also has very interesting side dishes; my favorite is something called Cauli Roast, which is a fruity and refreshing cauliflower salad that I’ve never tasted anywhere and will surely go back for.


Palm Grill is also very Instagram-friendly. The interiors on the ground floor are very manly (stone, wood, bricks), while the second floor is a little more feminine (bright, colorful). There is also a beautiful accent wall on the second floor that you’d love to use for your IG photos.


On your next lunch or dinner, head over to Palm Grill and try out their intriguing Green Chicken or try out my favorite – the Olympus Roast. You’ll love it there if you like trying out new and not-so-usual food offerings!


Palm Grill is located at 179 Tomas Morato Avenue, Scout Castor, Quezon City.

TOMS OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SM MEGAMALL’S MEGA FASHION HALL

Congratulations to shoe brand TOMS, which now has their flagship store at the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall! I have to admit I’ve never owned a pair of TOMS so when I got to the store, I took my time and looked at EVERYTHING, from the men’s shoes to the even the women’s, plus those for kids, too. Now this has got to be my favorite and I have already promised my feet that I shall buy a beautiful polk-a-dotted pair once I get my 13 th month pay. Lakas maka-hot dad, noh? This looks pretty cool, too. Not-your-usual, but not too in-your-face. This blue-and-white striped one is also something I would go for, although I’d love to use a pair for summer just so I can go for a nautical look. Imagine a crisp white tee, a navy pair of shorts, and these. Perfect. Before I headed out, I was able to score a pair of this Chocolate Canvas under Original Classics. I am in love with these basic ones I want a pair in all colors! For moms out there, there i

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed

MY 3-YEAR-OLD IS ALREADY WEARING A BRA

And it’s Beyonce’s fault. See, Sadako has a thing for playing dress-up. She asks for a bandana or a scarf or any piece of cloth to be wrapped around her head whenever she wants to sing along to her favorite Erykah Badu song, “Bag Lady.” She makes sure she’s wearing her kitten heels whenever she performs Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War.” She grabs this piece of white piece of lacy fabric and puts it around her shoulders whenever she’s copying Christina Aguilera in her American Music Awards performance, where she sang a medley of tracks from her “Lotus” album, starting with “Lotus (Intro).” So going back to Beyonce, my little one discovered the talented star just recently when I popped in a DVD copy of her 2006 concert. It didn’t take long for Sadako to copy the star’s birits, moves, and get-ups. So one night I get home and see my three-year old daughter wearing her mother’s bra.  This morning, I woke up to Sadako singing along to Beyonce’s “Green
