FIGARO's HEALTHY PANDESAL and DINNER MEALS

It's summer once again! so hot! During this time of the year, it's fun to be here in the Philippines where you can enjoy the beach and flaunt your bodies. Pressured to get that beach body? You don't have to worry about that anymore. I discovered something that would help us to get fit and healthy with no surgical procedure. Earlier this year, Figaro launched its healthy pandesal and dinner meals.

 

Figaro's healthy Pandesal

Pandesal with Tuna Filling

Let's start our day with Figaro's healthy breakfast, Malunggay (Moringa) Pandesal with Tuna or Asado filling. Malunggay is full of nutrients - a good source of calcium, Vitamins A & C, potassium, iron, protein and beta carotene. Very healthy, right? And not only that,  both asado and tuna fillings are delicious. Two thumbs up! :-)  Experience this healthy breakfast with bottomless brewed coffee for only Php99 from 6 to 11 AM everyday. You won't regret it. Promise! ;-)

For dinner, we have two healthy choices. They are Chicken Rice Bake and Tofu Steak Rice.

For those chicken lovers, you'll gonna love Figaro's Chicken Rice Bake. It's a cup of rice in creamy sauce with chicken, bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots topped with mozzarella cheese and baked to perfection. Yummy!

For those vegans and health conscious, Tofu Steak Rice is perfect for you. Tofu is known to be a good source of iron, copper, manganese, selenium and omega-3 needed by our body. It also helps us lower our cholesterol level and avoid atherosclerosis or diabetic heart disease. And with the special sauce, Im sure you'll gonna love this meal!

By the way, the dinner meals are paired with a glass of lemonade for only Php150.

With these healthy breakfast and dinner meals, I think there's no reason not to get fit and sexy this summer. ;-)


Have fun this summer! :)

Have a happy and blessed life everyone! :)

Figaro's Dinner Meals

SUMOSAM's 10th BRANCH IN GREENHILLS TOWN CENTER

Sumosam opened its 10th branch in Greenhills Town Center just recently. For over 6 years, Sumosam has been one of the famous Japanese restaurants in the Philippines. [Well, for me, it's one of my favorite restaurants. :)] Aside from the variant menu selection, families and friends dine in Sumosam to experience Japanese food in huge servings with reasonable price and high quality service. 


What makes Sumosam GTC branch different from other Sumosam branches? It is the first branch located outside of a shopping mall and it offers bento.

Samurai's Choice bento box

I love Japanese food. It's always been my appetizers when we go to buffets. :) I'm happy that Sumosam GTC has bento (a little bit of everything!). I tried their Samurai's Choice which includes chicken teriyaki, beef misono (US beef knuckle), dory tepan, tuna and sashimi, kani stick, bean sprout, yasai itame, gohan, dilis, and rice. I love everything especially the dory tepan. Hope it comes with a free drink. :) 

Samurai's Choice bento

There are other bento meals aside from Samurai Choice. They are available daily from 11 AM - 2 PM only at Sumosam GTC branch.

Marvin Agustin, one of the owners and founders of Sumosam, also showed us how to make sushi. Very talented! :)

For those who want to go Sumosam Greenhills Town Center, it is located at #2 Granada St., Brgy. Valencia, Quezon City (near Gilmore). The place is very cozy so you will enjoy dining at the same time chatting with family, loved one, or friends. It's a great place to have your Valentine date tonight. :)

I think they also have delivery, just call 654-6813 or visit their website: www.sumosamfoods.com. 

Hope you have a wonderful night! :)

Have a blessed and happy life! :) 

AntiGravity Yoga at Beyond Yoga (Manila)

One of my New Year's resolutions this 2012 is to stay fit and healthy. Aside from balanced diet, I'm willing to try yoga and pilates. Speaking of yoga, I heard that AntiGravity Yoga will be launched here in the Philippines early this year. Beyond Yoga, the Philippines' premiere yoga studio, will bring this in our country. I know you're curious what is this AntiGravity Yoga that I'm talking about. Watch this video! :)



(video from YouTube)

Looks fun, right? But it's not only enjoyable, AntiGravity Yoga also is therapeutic. Here are some of its health benefits:

• Decompress tight joints
• Relieving pressure while aligning the vertebrae
• Perform advanced yoga inversions without neck or back compression
• Hold challenging yoga postures longer and in correct alignment
• Stretch further with less strain
• Add an entirely new dimension to your yoga practice
• Create better body awareness while increasing overall agility

Well, I plan to go there to try different poses using the silk hammock. I'm excited to fly, swing and do the inversions! :)

For those interested in yoga, Beyond Yoga studio is located at the 3rd Floor Il Terrazo, Tomas Morato corner Scout Madrinian Street, Quezon City. By the way, aside from AntiGravity Yoga, Beyond Yoga also has classes for Ashtanga, Yin Yoga, Power yoga, Hot Yoga, Jivamukti, Kids Yoga, Mysore, Vinyasa Flow, and Yoga Basics; and dance classes such as Belly Dance, Contemporary Jazz, HipHop, Retro Fever, Zumba and Pole Fitness (coming soon).

For inquiries and other concern, you may contact Beyond Yoga at 0917-5239663/ 9216070 or visit their website.

FIGARO MILK TEA CRAZE

During the holidays, I discovered something new and extraordinary from Figaro and I loved it. It is the NEW Taro Pudding Chiller Feast.

Figaro's Taro Pudding Chiller Feast

I have learned that Figaro just launched it late last year in time for the holidays. There are other 4 drinks namely: Strawberry Milk Tea with Yakult, Raspberry Milk Tea with Yakult, Taro Pudding Milk Tea and Strawberry Lemon Iced Tea. 

Figaro NEW Milk Tea Craze

What I love about Taro Pudding Chiller Feast:

   - It's refreshing.

   - I love the combination of taro, pudding, corn flakes, and sago.

   - It's sweet (no need for dessert).

Last week, I tried Raspberry Milk Tea with Yakult. I fell in love with it! hahaha!!! To those who love Yakult in their childhood days, you must try it! I swear!

Figaro's Raspberry Milk Tea with Yakult

For sure, I'll try the other 3 drinks. Will keep you posted. :)

If you want to know more about these drinks, follow Figaro's Facebook page. I think they're having online contests from time to time. So, check out for that! :)

Have a happy and blessed life everyone! :)
