Fully Booked launched its Blogges Book Club (BBC) where members will be able to participate in special events such as book launches, meet and greet with the authors, and other activities. For the months of December 2008 and January 2009, we will get to have the privilege to enter a book or series review in the new section of their website, “Spotlight Review” that is exclusive to bloggers. Blogger reviews may also be featured in their Fully Booked Ezine section.
One cold rainy morning I, together with some bloggers, had a chance to meet Steve Benitez, CEO of Bo’s Coffee, in Bonifacio High Street (BHS). He was roasting some coffee beans from Guatemala not for a coffee drink but for a coffee art. You will not miss this (very expensive) coffee roaster by the counter as you enter BHS branch.
Yes, coffee art, he roasted in different shades of brown in what is to be an artist’s unique palette of brown monochromatic material instead of the usual paint, water color or pencil. His object of art is the bean itself. He just knows when the beans would start to crackle, when the beans would start to drop temperature in the roaster, and a lot more details. So much passion for coffee, yes? I agree.
What differentiates Bo’s Coffee Club is that a cup of coffee is assured of freshness. As Steve explained, roasted coffee beans are best grounded not right after roasting but about three days later and so the deliveries to a Bo’s Coffee Club are assured also of coffee aroma and taste right in its peak.
I was invited in Alveo’s “The Red Oak” launch. I was able to have a peek of what Serendra has to offer its residents and true enough, it is not just another monument of the long-standing trademark of the Ayala excellence but also a dream for middle-class yuppies who cannot afford such luxury. Who wouldn’t want to have such a perfect life? Owning an Ayala property and the perks that come with it?
New Orleans, not the adopted hometown of the famous celebrity family Jolie-Pitt but the dining destination in Bonifacio High Street, offers an Oyster meal that will definitely satisfy your craving for this treasure from a shell. In my last post, I have mentioned of Oyster Amatricana (Or was it Americana?) a deep fried Oyster topped with mango salsa placed on a platter of salt and garnished with lettuce.
For Peso 330+/order this dish is definitely good for a group order and not bad at around 33 a piece.
