<p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s a new cat in town, and they call it<strong> Coffecat</strong>. The name may sound like an international coffee brand, but if it&#8217;s humble beginnings will be traced, everyone will be surprised to know that it is a proud Philippine brand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Coffeecat </strong>first opened its doors in May 2009 in Torres Street, Davao City. It marks yet another milestone with its second branch, in Cebu this time, at the Asiatown IT Park’s newest high-rise development, the eBloc Tower. It was on July 16, 2010 that Coffeecat made its way to Cebuanos&#8217; hearts, promising to further enrich the highly developed coffee culture scene in this city already spoiled with choices. <strong> </strong>Coffeecat serves the pure goodness of 100% premium Arabica coffee, making it not just another brew in the City.</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_2165" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 374px"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/4809317270_3bd5839412_o.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2165  " title="Opening" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/4809317270_3bd5839412_o.jpg" alt="" width="364" height="241" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">April Rama, Jaja Chiongbian-Rama, Cebu City Councilor Eduardo Rama and Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, during the opening of CoffeeCat!</p></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><center/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The concept for Coffeecat was fructified out of a dream of creating a new type of rendezvous – one that mixes <strong>modern, industrial, and minimalist</strong> elements yet retains a warm and cozy ambiance for good conversations, great beverages and delectable dishes. <strong>Coffeecat </strong>is a perfect stomping ground for some hearty laughters with family and friends, alone time with a good book and cup of brew, private discussions with colleagues and sweet moments with a special someone. It is a celebration of coffee and life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">CoffeeCat Cebu is 90 square meters of stylish and chic space which can accommodate a total of 60 guests with its indoor and outdoor seating combined. The café specializes in expertly handcrafted beverages made from premium coffee blend illy®, a careful balance of 9 types of pure Arabica beans from South and Central America, India and Africa which creates the unmistakable illy flavor always identical in any <strong>espresso</strong> cup, wherever it is drunk around the world; non-coffee drinks like <strong>Avalanche™ Ice Blends</strong> and its signature product – <strong>Yogo™ Premium Frozen Yogurt</strong> in Original or Green Tea Flavors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Christmastime is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is also the time to spread happiness. But what is Christmas without some good food and bonding time with family? That is what we Filipinos are known for. Merrymaking at its best combined with the sweetest dishes on our table — it’s what defines a perfect Christmas for us. But just recently, we have been troubled by some very strong rains and flood. Our tropical country was lashed by typhoons just too recently. I heard some parts of the country hit by the typhoons are having a hard time lifting their spirits up for Christmas. Some people are not as lucky as ourselves. But that doesn’t end there. We could be our very own fellowman’s heroes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Christmas in the Philippines always includes the traditional Misa de Gallo. After such would be the perfect time for families to munch on native treats. But is this custom still being celebrated nowadays? Or do people go to church, go home and continue their own busy lives like any other day? To revive the real Pinoy Christmas Spirit, Kraft Eden Cheese made possible the event called Keso de Gallo, 9 days of reviving the goodness and enjoyment of our very own native delicacies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(Read the complete entry here: <a href="http://extraordinarykiddo.com/eden-revives-the-real-pinoy-christmas-spirit/" target="_blank">Eden Revives The Real Pinoy Christmas Spirit</a> by Bryan Karl Yuson)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC01387.JPG"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1641" title="Kraft Eden's 9 Days of Cheese-mas with Keso de Gallo" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC01387.JPG" alt="Kraft Eden's 9 Days of Cheese-mas with Keso de Gallo" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Parallel to the nine-day Simbang Gabi, Eden brought the goodness of Filipino dishes to <em>Pinoys</em> in nine different towns, namely, Bacolod City, Iloilo, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Naga, Butuan City, Laoag, and Pampanga.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“We may have lost a lot during the typhoons but the strong winds and torrential rains are not enough to dampen of faith and optimism for these Holidays,” says Alex Tacderas, Category Marketing Manager for Cheese and Spoonables, Kraft Foods Philippines. “That’s why Kraft Eden Cheese is bringing <em>Keso de Gallo</em>, to multiply the joy of this season for families nationwide because we believe that Christmas deserves a longer feast and merry-making.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In cooperation with top media outlet ABS-CBN, non-government organizations and the local government units, Eden has been setting up programs and activities in the different towns, wherein a cook-off was also held for the most innovative native dish that incorporated Eden cheese participated by various schools. The winning dishes were then served as a treat to the churchgoers after the mass. Not only did the people taste their native bibingka and puto bumbong (traditional egg and rice cakes) made more delicious with Eden cheese, they were also able to make new cheese dishes that everyone enjoyed emphasizing Eden’s versatility campaign, “<em>Dahil kay rami talaga nating nagagawa pag may Eden Cheese.” (</em>Because we can do so much with Eden Cheese.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">November 30, 2009 &#8212; The <strong>Cebu Bloggers Society</strong> participated in SM Foodcourt&#8217;s first ever food event for the bloggers &#8212; the <strong>Asia-in-a-Basket Food Bloggers&#8217; Meet</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The event, with the aim of increasing brand awareness of SM Foodcourt while highlighting its great features and services (good food and Wi-Fi availability), was opened by the Foodcourt Manager, <strong>Ms. Geraldine Alunan</strong>. The activities for the event were the photo taking of the food display, food tasting, and the live blogging contest.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC08512.JPG" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1566" title="Photoshoot with the food display" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC08512-1024x768.jpg" alt="Photoshoot with the food display" width="501" height="374" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Participating foodcourt outlets were <strong>Golden Bowl Dimsum</strong>, <strong>Fish Port</strong>, <strong>Kamay Kainan</strong>, <strong>Island Grill Express</strong>, <strong>Mama Gie</strong>, <strong>New Mongolian Express</strong>, <strong>Rics’ BBQ</strong>, <strong>Fiesta Cebuana</strong>, <strong>Venetian Coffee</strong>, <strong>Fountainhead</strong>, <strong>Marina Seafoods</strong>, <strong>Smokey’s</strong>, <strong>Goto King</strong>, <strong>Marina Lechon House</strong>,<strong> Thirsty?</strong>, and <strong>King Wah Chinese Cuisine</strong>. Each of them showcased their select dishes for the bloggers to take pictures of. It was clearly a feast for the eyes. The feast for the stomach followed, where all the participants were able to taste and appreciate the delectable dishes from the different food outlets in SM Foodcourt.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC08483.JPG" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Asia-in-a-Basket" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/DSC08483-768x1024.jpg" alt="Asia-in-a-Basket" width="450" height="599" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the food tasting was the live blogging contest. A couple of bloggers joined, and <a href="http://www.focalglass.com/" target="_blank">Evanjohnn</a> bagged the prize. <a href="http://www.eatandshop.com/" target="_blank">Sinjin</a> also got a special award for the outstanding photos he took of the food display. Nevertheless, everyone who participated in the event each got a certificate of participation, gift certificates from the food outlets, and gift packs. Surely, these sent everyone home with a smile on the face.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">SM Foodcourt is a great place to meet with great food to eat. As Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said, &#8220;<em>Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.</em>&#8221; We are bloggers, but we don&#8217;t eat blogs. We eat food.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">These  were the raving reviews of the members of the <a title="Food Bloggers" href="http://cebubloggers.com/members" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cebu Bloggers Society</span></a> after relishing the scrumptious masterpieces of a food business founded  by a Cebuano couple. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">Last  Sept. 13, ten Cebu bloggers were given an exclusive opportunity to savor  Balamban&#8217;s uniquely grilled liempo without having to travel to the midwest  part of the province from Cebu City.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">They  visited the second branch of <a title="Balamban Liempo" href="http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=balamban+liempo&amp;init=quick#/profile.php?id=100000209464738&amp;ref=search&amp;sid=1051815724.1363168232..1" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Balamban Liempo</span></a> Food Corner in Salinas  Drive, Lahug, Cebu City (across University of Southern Philippines).  The business is owned by Jojo and Honey Vergara.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">Honey,  who is from Abucayan in Balamban, has brought to the province&#8217;s busy  urban district her hometown&#8217;s unique liempo flavor induced by (secret,  they say) herbs and spices.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">She  and her husband combined their skills in cooking, marketing, management,  and sales in opening up their first branch—which they described as  a “hole in the wall”—in Cor. Tres Borces and S. Cabahug Streets,  Mabolo, Cebu City just last July.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">Four  months running, the couple is already operating three outlets—the  third one is in Highway Mandaue City near North Atrium—and offering  delivery services at the same time.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">With  the aim of becoming the take-out destination of choice nationwide, Balamban  Liempo is eyeing to operate a total of five stores by the end of the  year and ten more stores by 2010.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">Here  are more of what CBS members think about Balamban Liempo after their  food trip:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“Balamban  Liempo is definitely very tasty. Well-cooked meat and heavenly crunchy  skin dipped in a special local vinegar would make you crave for more.  When you buy a whole piece of liempo for only P160, that is already  good for four to five persons. It is great for barkada, officemates,  and family,” said Empress of Drac (<a href="http://www.empressofdrac.com/2009/09/14/balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“It  tastes not the typical liempo. Its lingering aroma is so captivating  that you couldn’t help but be curious of how it will taste. No reek  smell that is usual in some grilled pork. As you take a bite, you will  be surprised how tender and succulent the meat is. The skin is crunchy  and the fat is gooey just the way I like it,” quipped Cebu blogger  Ethelbert (<a href="http://www.laagcebu.com/2009/09/balamban-liempo-take-out/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“The  Liempo was awesome, mouth-watering, and totally lip-smacking. Its aroma  was unique compared to some other grilled liempos I’ve tasted –  thanks to the native herbs, spices and the secret ingredients which  by the way we all failed to distinguish,” remarked Beejing (<a href="http://www.ibeejing.com/2009/09/food-tour-balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see  post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“First  thing that captured my senses is the minced green leaves which are being  mixed inside and outside the pork belly. It gives a different aroma  that everyone has noticed and appreciated&#8230; But what I am craving for  is the best part of the liempo, the brittle brown crusty skin. It sounds  like chicharoon, very crunchy, and it tastes like a special lechon.  Yummy indeed,” added Tanom (<a href="http://euts.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/discovering-cebu-a-limpyo-balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“The  crispy skin that shows off its brittleness in your mouth every time  you take a bite. The well-cooked fat portion of the liempo extracts  a juicy liquid that makes you salivate. The tender meat that plays around  your mouth and gives you a never-ending desire to grab more. And together  with its secret herbs and ingredients, it will definitely blow your  minds out!” commented rabsin_d (<a href="http://finlust.blogspot.com/2009/09/balamban-liempo-critique-on-liempo-from.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“Aside  from the hungry-stimulating smell as it pass by in front of me, It could  really make one&#8217;s diet be forgotten. You can taste the crunchy sensation  of the &#8220;skin&#8221; and the juicy entity of the meat. Plus! the  spices! that makes me wonder what those are,” said Miong (<a href="http://cebuphotolog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">Sa  pag-hukad pa lang sa Balamban Liempo di na ka makapugong sa pag-tubod  sa imong laway. Ang kahumot sa liempo ug sa mga nagkadaiyang lamas nga  gisagol. Aduna pay panit nga daw sama sa lechon nga kagub-gub kun ingkiton.  Ang tambok nga maayo pagka luot. Dili luod kung usapon ug dili bidli.  Dili pud siya “langsi” sama sa uban nga pagkaluto sama sa lechon  nga mabahoan gyud nimo ang baho sa ad sa baboy,” said Clado (<a href="http://www.dahonglaya.com/balamban-liempo-cebu/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see  post</span></a>)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“For  the past few years I never tasted such uber delicious Liempo,” remarked  Tiborsho (<a href="http://www.tiborsho.com/balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“What  you see is what you get! Juicy and yummy! The taste is really excellent  and would make you ask for more,” quipped webslave (<a href="http://mccoolot.com/balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;">“They  have this unique ingredients that every-time you take a bite, the taste  would sink in to your nerves,” said Guada (<a href="http://www.kiatan.com/balamban-liempo/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">see post</span></a>).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: small;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Balamban Liempo&#8217;s  contact details:</span></em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/UCC.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-951 aligncenter" title="UCC" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/UCC.jpg" alt="UCC" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you and a friend, or any of your circles happen to meet for a good tete-a-tete, isn’t it worthwhile to pass the time with an enjoyable cup of coffee at a very comfy place? Where can you find a better place to sip in that &#8220;coffeerific&#8221; aroma of coffee beans? There’s one coffee shop we know, the <strong>UCC Café Terrace</strong> in <a href="http://www.obnoxiousqueer.com/2008/11/01/terraces-of-ayala-center-cebu/">Ayala Terraces</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UCC stands for Ueshima Coffee Company. It got its name from the person who popularized it, Tadao Ueshima way back in 1933 in Japan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, coffee production has been part of Japan’s world class standards and scientific experiments to perfect its magical taste and aroma for every customer’s satisfaction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hubert Young, a businessman brought UCC to the Philippines and is currently holding its exclusive franchise and now got 20 chain branches throughout the country with 3 different concept stores: Vienna Café, Café Terrace and Park Café.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Coffee Production</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They say that for coffee drinkers to appreciate the quality flavor of their coffee, the quality of the soil of the producing country as well as the beans to grow are at first considered at the very beginning of its cultivation/production. Other factors may include, seasonal or climate changes and the environment where the coffee beans are grown. For UCC, their main coffee plantations are direct from Jamaica (UCC Blue Mountain Coffee Craighton Estate), Hawaii (UCC Hawaii Kona Coffee Estate) and in Indonesia (P.T. UCC Lintong Mandheling Coffee Estate). The type of coffee beans UCC are using are ARABICA beans as its more rich in taste and more flavorful and complex than other types of coffee beans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UCC also got their expert called “classificadores” or cup tasters to check that only quality beans will be used for production.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Scientific Application</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>We know you will say that, <span style="font-style: italic;">“it’s just coffee, why make a big deal with it?”</span> <span> </span><a href="http://cebubloggers.com/">We</a> (along with other <span style="font-weight: bold;">food bloggers in </span>Cebu) were introduced to their <span style="font-weight: bold;">Triple Temperature Natural Dripping Technique</span> in brewing our coffee at different temperature levels. We noticed those rounded glass flasks attached to siphon tubes where the coffee will be mix with heated water as it goes up, a mixture system coupled with an accurate amount of flame. Of course, precise stirring at the right momentum is highly observed by the coffee brewer.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>UCC served our coffee, not too hot to drink, just enough not to burn our lips when taking a sip, a thought they also considered. <em><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> </span></em><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Coffee Selections</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Still wandering what to order if you happen to drop at UCC Café terrace? Please check the list below.  Take note that each coffee has its own specific signature cup (based on the cup design).<em><br />
</em></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><em> <strong>UCC Blend </strong>- </em> It got the perfect combination of flavor and aroma. If you’re a fan of blended coffees, this one may be a good starter for you. By the way, it’s their best-seller coffee blend!</li>
<li><span><em><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sumiyaki </span></em>-  This is charcoal roasted coffee beans. It’s strong in taste. You might add brown sugar crystals to sweeten taste.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><em>Blue Mountain</em> </span>- the coffee beans are from their plantation in Jamaica and it got a subtle taste, perhaps, lighter than that of Sumiyaki’s. It’s one of their highly-priced coffees.</span></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Meals to Match</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UCC is not just a Japanese coffee shop that is purely coffee in their menus. They also serve breakfast meals, cakes and pastries to savor and create a good blend with their aromatic coffee delighting your salivary glands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Interiors</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UCC café terrace in <a href="http://www.obnoxiousqueer.com/2008/11/01/terraces-of-ayala-center-cebu/">Ayala Terraces</a> has a high-ventilation ceiling.  This is good for air circulation inside though the place is air-conditioned. It allows you to breathe in and savor your coffee. Their glass-prints are also chic and fab! It exudes youthful tolerance and laughter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>They have designated areas for smokers on top (smoking area), the mezzanine and meeting lounge for those in big groups who wants privacy. The shop also provides free WiFi connection for those bringing in their lappies and iPods or PSP.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Where To Go</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since UCC coffee is all-over the country (Philippines), you may enjoy to take your share with its therapeutic benefits of coffee, chic venues and sophisticated ambiance of its different concept stores nationwide.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> UCC Coffee Vienna Café</span> is a “hotel coffee shop outside of a hotel”. Ideal for business meet-ups for young professionals and businessmen-alike.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> UCC Coffee Café Terrace</span> gets the feature of a classy and cozy atmosphere that mimics a contemporary country club. Picture out a family smooching on their coffees or a team of employees in their relaxed hours after a days’ work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> UCC Coffee Park Café</span> is conceptualized for active juveniles, students, blossoming friendships and dating parks for those young at hearts. It got plush park landscape of greenish and earth plants within an urban-driven buildings, malls and hotels. Still giving a refreshing view of nature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coffee is the source of satisfaction and comfort, and is the medium for togetherness. In short, “magkape ta bai”, in English “let’s have a cup of coffee”.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mamma Maria’s Pizzeria</strong><strong>,</strong> dubbed as the home chain of the largest pizza in the cosmopolitan, has since prodded our country’s soil in the very year of 2005.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>May 28, 2009</strong> &#8212; It was a fine Thursday afternoon when the Cebu Bloggers Society met at <strong>La Maison, The Terraces, Ayala</strong> with <strong>Ms. Kankan Ramos</strong>, <strong>Ms. Elaine Sibol</strong>, and <strong>Mr. Donald Patrick Lim</strong> of <a href="http://www.yehey.com" target="_blank">Yehey.com</a>. The crew provided the bloggers the opportunity to do some food reviews on the dishes served at La Maison. Some of the food were the following:</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_729" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-729" title="Tostitos" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tostitos.jpg" alt="Tostitos - a fried tortilla open faced, topped with beef and cheese, blended perfect with spices." width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tostitos - a fried tortilla open faced, topped with beef and cheese, blended perfect with spices.</p></div></center></p>

<p><center><div id="attachment_728" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-728" title="Seafood Marinara" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/seafood-marinara.jpg" alt="Seafood Marinara - composed of fresh shrimps, mussels, and lapu-lapu in a Tomato Basil Sauce." width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Seafood Marinara - composed of fresh shrimps, mussels, and lapu-lapu in a Tomato Basil Sauce.</p></div></center></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the bloggers feasted on the delectable dishes, it was time for Mr. Donald Patrick Lim, CEO/President of Yehey.com, to orient them about the said website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehey.com" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>Yehey! is a Philippine Web portal. It is currently the second most visited Philippine site behind INQ7.net.</p>
<p>The company was formed in 1996 as Fiesta Online Corporation by a group of young pioneers composed of Alistair Israel, David Quitoriano, Voltaire Trinidad, Ramon Borja and Julius Alba.</p>
<p>As of 2006, Yehey.com has almost 280,000 registered users and over 21.6 million visits annually.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Basing on its current stats, you could never expect that Yehey.com was once at a loss. Being a striving company, Yehey.com credits its place in the web now to their much exerted effort in reaching out to their clients.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the powerpoint presentation by Mr. Lim, it was found out that Filipinos are number one in social networking sites, number two in uploading photos, and number two in blogging. These facts have driven the company to choose the bloggers as their critics and judges for they also believe that online advertising is one key to a successful business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yehey.com&#8217;s PR activities, one of which was the Trinoma bloggers event (Manila), have been going on for about a year and a half now. This time, they are trying to reach out to the Cebu blogging community.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the end, the Cebu Bloggers Society was thankful for the collaboration opportunity presented to them by the crew. And indeed, CBS could already joyfully shout, &#8220;Yehey!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/Cebu-Bloggers-Society1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-744" title="Cebu Bloggers Society" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/Cebu-Bloggers-Society1.jpg" alt="Cebu Bloggers Society" width="450" height="304" /></a></p>

<p>It’s been quite a while since I went out on a rest day, most especially with the CBS people. The date was April 25, which is, by the way, my little sister’s birthday, and the day when the power went out for more than two hours, approximately. I was supposed to finish some chores at home, but at around 10 AM, the lights went out and my laptop went blank because I had it on power supply rather than battery. So my Naruto Shippuuden episode 106 viewing got interrupted. I waited for about 20 minutes and no signs of the power coming back came. So I just decided to take a shower and then meet up with the CBS people at Max’s Restaurant at SM City. The time was supposed to be set at 11 AM, but we didn’t meet one another till about 11:30 AM.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet again, I got bored and felt like devouring something. Thai food was never one of my favorite foods, but I have never had actual Thai food before, so I guess I can&#8217;t consider it as a non-qualifier for favorite foods. <img src='http://www.cebubloggers.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.cebubloggers.com/images/kruathai.jpg" alt="Krua Thai SM City Cebu" /></p>
<p>Anyway, I succumbed to my craving, and along with it, I lost approximately P600 as well. Booo.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a spice fanatic, the place would be good for you, but if you can&#8217;t stand spices, better avoid the place. If you wanna see the food, I posted shots of it on my blog, so go ahead and <a href="http://www.misswilhelmina.com/2009/03/01/krua-thai/" target="_self">check it out here</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Today’s another day of my rest day and boy, am I glad that I got to take the weekend off. I was able to spend some time with my fam and I was able to go out and just relax without having to worry about anything else. For today, we hung out at several different spots, but I’m gonna talk more about the new ice cream place at the SM City Cebu. Ooops, I forgot, it’s <em>gelato</em>, not ice cream.</p>

<p>Name of Establishment:<strong> SIAM Thai Cuisine</strong><br />
Location:<strong> 2nd fl, the Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu</strong><br />
Types of Food: <strong>Thai Cuisine<span id="more-287"></span></strong><br />
Over-all place: <strong>Perceptible of Thai Culture setting</strong><br />
Ratings (1-5): <strong>3</strong></p>
<p>When the <a href="http://www.obnoxiousqueer.com/2008/11/01/terraces-of-ayala-center-cebu/">terraces of Ayala Center Cebu</a> just opened its stalls with massive restaurants for both local and international shops, I just can’t wait to dine each inviting restos every time I visit the place. One time, my Asian cravings and spicy diet is grumbling my tummies to devour something <strong>Thai cuisine</strong>. And with just me alone, my cell phone clock strikes to 11:30 am. I peeked at the side of Fully Booked and saw some welcoming gestures from <strong>SIAM.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Greetings:</em></strong></p>
<p>When I first entered the door, I hear the greeting <strong>“Sawatdee Khrap”</strong> which means<strong> “Hello, good day, good morning, good afternoon or good evening”</strong> in Thai! Ooops, I think, personal instincts would tell you that it’s a welcome greeting just like when you say <strong>“Mabuhay”</strong> in Filipino or “<strong>Maayong Buntag or Udto or Gabi-e”</strong> in Cebuano. It sounds new to my ear though I know they would utter that generic greeting to their customers.</p>

I so much heard about it through my buddy’s reviews. I surely did try to dash in to taste whether <span style="bold">TB</span> really is worth a dining experience. I obviously went their alone! My work pals just backed out due to some personal reasons that are unavoidable. Good thing, I still have the heart to understand them!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="#ff0000;">The Interiors:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It just opened its doors to possible <a title="Cebu Bloggers Society" href="http://cebubloggers.com" target="_blank"><em><strong>Cebuano regulars</strong></em></a> so the place is really clean and the flat dining boards and seats are spanking new. The yellow color is dominant surrounding the whole zone. The area has a capacity for only a number of seats. It’s not really spacious but the dining tables are set confined for you to have at least a good dining experience. The aisles are skimpy and more chances of elbow-rubbing with other guests. Now, that could make you uncomfortable. Well, you better concentrate on their food. It’s mores surprising!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IVMqITxoprc/SRkl8aDZLCI/AAAAAAAAAgY/QukcaQk1Y0g/s1600-h/Teriyaki+Boy+Insides.JPG"><img class="aligncenter" style="300px;" title="Cebu Bloggers at Teriyaki Boy" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IVMqITxoprc/SRkl8aDZLCI/AAAAAAAAAgY/QukcaQk1Y0g/s400/Teriyaki+Boy+Insides.JPG" border="0" alt="Cebu Bloggers at Teriyaki Boy" /></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="#ff0000;">The waiters:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Friendly food assistants are the assets of the restaurant. You’ll be attended by at least 2 who could help you out on what to choose if it seems your first time. Just ask them and they will surely guide you through the menu and I bet you try their house specialty!</p>
