An All American Feast at the Corniche in Diamond Hotel

YeeHaw! An all American Feast made for you at Corniche

Let's all live the American dream, a land of hope, a land of opportunities as they say, but from The Food Alphabet's point of view, it is the land of tempting burgers, mountains of fries and the fountain of sodas.  Don't even get me started on Upsize options haha!  But since I have not set foot in any of the United States of the Americas, all I can do is to dream about it.  

But lucky for us we can stop dreaming and see reality as Corniche, the international buffet restaurant of Diamond Hotel is bringing to us the best of the USA with the 

"All American Food and Wine Feast!"

Let's Krok it up at Krazy Garlik!

Krok meets Krazy Garlik!

True to its word, Krazy Garlik has indeed gone crazy!  They are serving some of the best tasting dishes in town and no they are not chicken!

Krazy Garlik is known of course for their ingenuity with regards to using garlic as one of their main ingredients in many of their dishes, and the dishes I'm going to show you today are no different.  Honing from the busy kitchen tables of Krazy Garlik is a delicacy so unique and outrageous it actually might be the one just for you.  

Market Mondays and Tues-Tini nights at the Sidebar

Market Mondays and Tues-Tini Nights at the Sidebar

We all know the feeling—Mondays are a drag, and Tuesday is that awkward in-between day before Wednesday hump day. The worsening rush hour traffic can be a hassle as well. But at Sidebar in El Pueblo, Mondays and Tuesdays just fly by. 

Whether or not you're into playing the stock market, you're sure to love Market Mondays. Stock index down? Don't feel too bad - when the stock market dips, Sidebar's drinks prices go down by 50% as well. It's the perfect place for bearish investors, as well as for anyone who's having the Monday blues.

Krispy Kroissant : Cronuts baked the Krispy Kreme way!

Krispy Kroissant, Cronuts done right 

the Krispy Kreme way!

Once in a blue moon, a food craze sweeps the Philippines, remember the Shawarma days? I remember those days, where every corner you will see a Shawarma selling stall, and they just keep on popping up and just recently another food craze is making the Philippines go wild, the culprit "Cronuts".  So what is a cronut, invented by a chef in the USA, it has found its way to many establishments here in the metro and everyone claiming their own version of the cornets  it is either a hit or a miss, some are too oily, some are just too darn sweet but indeed it is hard to resist such a palatable idea, especially since it combines the subtle sweetness of croissants with the mouth-watering flavors of doughnuts.

But to foodies who think they’re done with cronuts, and to all croissant and doughnut aficionados who are curious about what this delectable hybrid tastes like, just imagine layers of croissant goodness topped with delectable donut flavors.  Ah I'm craving already.  And now your favorite confectionery store Krispy Kreme is on the move to satisfy your cravings with sweet fares like this.  Presenting Krispy Kroissant!

Starting this August 15, Krispy Kreme branches all over Luzon will offer its very own version of this half-doughnut, half-croissant delight, which comes in the name of Krispy Kroissant. This must-try addition to the brand’s Baked Creations line not only boasts of four variants, but is also thoughtfully baked with Krispy Kreme’s expertise—hence, this newest offering is truly set to take your cronut experience up a notch.

Swing by Singapore at Dusit Thani Hotel

 

Singapore's finest at Dusit Thani Hotel

Don't you just love Singapore?  With so much flavor packed in all their daily food offerings, even side street hawker cooking taste like restaurant prepared treats, though sadly I have yet the chance to set foot in Singapore ( I promise to visit there soon, if time permits ), I am so glad Dusit Thani is bringing the flare and best of Singapore's dishes to Manila.

Dusit Thani Manila celebrates a cultural fare of Singaporean gastronomy at the Basix All-Day Dining Restaurant which also is to celebrate Singapore's National Day just a few days ago.  Leading the team of Singaporean guest chefs is Chef Paul Then Seh Chon whose wealth of delectable experience and accolades span over 30 years. His desire is to keep the local delights nostalgic of the good old days and save the losing heritage of true Singaporean Hawker cooking.  

The buffet spread features Nonya Laksa, Singaporean Chili Crab, Bak KutTeh, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng, Char KwayTeow, amongst other Singaporean favorites.

Leisurely Afternoon Tea at Diamond Hotel

Afternoon Tea is the perfect time for relaxed business meetings with colleagues or catch up moments with your chums.  Spend your afternoons at the Lobby Lounge of Diamond Hotel, and relax with a soothing cup of freshly steeped loose leaf tea and a selection of savory sandwiches, jams and preserves, and homemade pastries including freshly-baked scones and petit fours.

Raise your pinkie to the leisurely indulgences of Diamond Hotel’s afternoon tea offerings. Available daily from 1PM to 6PM, bring an associate, friend or a loved one, and look forward to an afternoon tea spread that features international and local delights for only Php 988 nett, good for two persons.  For reservations, please call the Lobby Lounge at (632) 528-3000 or email at restaurant_rsvn@diamondhotel.com.
