Getting a kick of blog radar, lunch with another blogger and friend of mine, Chef Ward, within the Fort area, we were led to Xocolat. My favorite blogger, Arpee who is also a close friend, got me inspired by his Xocolat post when I read it last night.

This is not my first time in Seafood Island, Market! Market!, Taguig City. More than five times actually that I have dined in here in different occasions for different reasons. The first few were really satisfying to say the least. The excitement in having to try eating boodle style added to the ambiance that this place offers. With pirate ships, pirates, and treasure map painted on the main wall together with rope motif on the chairs, the place welcome the idea of eating with your bare hands.
Boodle feast or boodle fight is a military tradition where food, usually rice and viands, these are placed on a bamboo leaves. Once the “fight” starts, everyone gets to eat fast with their fingers/hands. As the name implies, it is a “fight” so everyone tries to finish as fast and as many as they could. With a lot of people fighting over a limited meal, it is matter of survival on who gets to fill his hunger.

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?
