Samgyupsalamat Newport: Ushering a New Year with Unlimited Food
Samgyupsalamat is the generic term in the Philippines for unlimited Korean BBQ. A forerunner in the industry, paving the way for many other similar restaurants, this food place has established more than just an industry for the Koreans in our country but integrated the love of Korean food to many Filipino people.
On January 2, 2020
Invited by David Valencia Ferro to go unli Samgyupsalamat at Newport Hotel in the Resorts World area in Pasay, I dropped everything that I was doing. Though the holiday season has made me indulge in all my favorite Filipino dishes, this treat from the management of Samgyupsalamat offered my choice of unli. In deciding what to wear, even my daughter, Maxi Quema, blogger of AxisMotion, helped me out as I can't wear anything tight around the tummy.
When I arrived, it was a delight to see a couple of male bloggers who are Jason Biadog and Eric Teodoro as even if I am slim, I have a fast metabolism and am a big eater. I love eating with those who do love to eat also and have to confess that I used the guys to cover up for me going on a total 'takaw' mode by ordering rice, not just once but three times. It was such a delightful way to start the New Year.
Samgyupsalamat food choices
Depending on the package you choose, you can help yourself to a variety of meat for grilling. The grill is situated in the middle of the table with a movable, elongated vent on top of it to remove the smoke. This grill is filled with hot coals, unlike other restaurants that use other types of fuel like butane. The natural heating element cooks the meat on the grill, giving it a sought-after dimension in flavor. Preference varies per person as a few bloggers liked their meat just right while others wanted the charcoal blackish-brown burnt crisp.
Their meat items included in the two different packages are
Daepae. Thinly sliced pork belly
Buljib. Herb pork belly
Yangnyum daepae. Thinly sliced pork belly marinated
Gochujang. Thinly sliced pork belly sweet and spicy marinade
Yangnyum moksal. Pork neck bone steak in a slightly sweet sauce
Beef samgyup. Thinly sliced beef
Yangnyum beef. Thinly sliced beef marinated
Bulgogi. Korean beef barbeque marinated in sweet soy sauce
Gochujang beef. Thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet and spicy marinade
Sarsa beef. Filipino-style marinated beef
There are five to six side dishes served, depending on the availability of the hundreds of popular Korean side dishes. What is to be expected to be served us Kimchi. The meal comes with unlimited rice which is a high-grade kind of grain that is white and fluffy.
There is an additional item on the unli menu of that is a dip, or technically a cheese fondue. These items are in two small dip containers that are placed on the side of the grill. The melted cheese is creamy and spreadable. It can be used to wrap the meat, line the vegetable wrap, or as a dip.
For ushering the New Year and for all and any occasions, or when wanting to indulge in excellent unlimited meat and rice, the first name when it comes to mind to decide where to eat will be Samgyupsalamat. It is an experience that you'll want to repeat, again and again.

Construction of Metro Manila Subway Project Formally Starts with Site Clearing Works at Valenzuela Depot
The dream of giving the country its first-ever subway or underground railway system finally pushes into reality as the Department of Transportation (DOTr) formally starts with clearing works in the Partial Operability (PO) Section of the Metro Manila Subway Project.
The Partial Operability Section of the subway comprises the first stations in Valenzuela City and Quezon City, the line's depot in Valenzuela City, and buildings for the Philippine Railway Institute (PRI), the country's first-ever railway training center.
A ceremony to formalize the start of the subway's construction was held at the depot site in Barangay Ugong in Valenzuela City today, 21 December 2019. The depot site is also where the subway line's East Valenzuela Station will be located.
Dubbed as the “Project of the Century,” the underground rail line is expected to serve 370,000 passengers daily in its first year of full operations, and is targeted to be partially operable by 2021.
Once completed and fully operational, the Metro Manila Subway Project will have a total of 15 stations, including a terminal station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.
Part of the ceremony was the distribution of checks and the signing of deeds of absolute sale with project-affected landowners, as well as a testimonial video presentation of project-affected informal settler families that have already been relocated to Valenzuela’s Disiplina Village.
This formal start of clearing operations at the subway's Valenzuela depot is part of DOTr’s continuing efforts to muster all factors needed in building the underground railway project and in dealing with right-of-way acquisition issues.
DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade, who led the ceremony, noted the progress in the right-of-way acquisition both in terms of acquiring land from legal owners and relocation of informal settler families.
A total of 460 lots are required for the partial operability section of the subway, out of which 364 offers to buy have already been issued based on current market value appraised by Landbank.
Owners of 285 lots out of the 364 lots that the government had already offered to buy, have accepted or are already completing documentation requirements for selling their properties to the government for the project.
A batch of project-affected landowners were present during the ceremony and received their check payments.
As for informal settler families, 178 out of 183 affected families have already been resettled to a better and safer location in Disiplina Village in Barangay Bignay, Valenzuela City with the support of the Valenzuela City local government.
“This gathering today is the primodial trigger to be able to start the subway. That is why this gathering is important. Wala naman ‘hong proyektong mai-implement kung ‘yung babagtasin mo na daan ay hindi pa nasolusyunan. Ngayong araw na ‘hong ito ang signal na para bang sinasabi nating parating na ang subway,” Secretary Tugade expressed.
Following the official transfer of the properties from the landowners to the DOTr, contractors then started the clearing and fencing of portions of the depot.
“With our funding in place, contractor signed-up, detailed designs completed, and right-of-way substantially acquired, and under the strong willed leadership of our leader, Secretary Arthur Tugade, partial operability of the Duterte Administration's flagship Metro Manila Subway Project is on track to delivering its promise of a more comfortable life to every Filipino,” DOTr Undersecretary for Railways Timothy John Batan said in his message.

The slice is large enough to give in totally to those meat cravings and you'll be spellbound as it has that melt-in-the-mouth quality. Of course, how it is cooked is the key to get the desired texture, and the one that I tried was medium. What was great was the meat and the way it is marbled.

Moonleaf for weight loss, weight gain, energy and as a remedy
At that time, I did not drink milk tea. I did say yes to my daughter's request for her to order there, as she does drink a lot of tea and said that it was a must-try. Since there was no Moonleaf in the South then, she got her fill after ordered her brew. As she explained to me what makes Moonleaf different from those small shops, I simply listened and tasted her milk tea. I cannot argue with an expert.
Now that bubble milk tea is one of the most popular beverages in the Philippines, thanks to Moonleaf, I have had the delight of trying various milk teas. During the recent WOFEX 2019, on the second floor of SMX, there was so much milk tea sampling. Thanks to the discerning palate of my daughter, and the exposure at WOFEX as I got to see the supplies, and after we had visited more milk teas shops since Maginhawa, I have learned how to note the difference between powdered preparations and those made with brewed tea.
There is nothing wrong with powdered drinks, please note that. It is just that freshly brewed tea is better. The choice of tea leaves also makes a difference. Moonleaf brews their own tea from the finest selection of leaves and adheres to the standard that made them boom from that one store in Maginhawa a few years ago to have over 60 branches all over the Philippines.
Now that Moonleaf is open at BF Homes, it would be easier for me and my family to enjoy their drinks that come with good vibes. It's the easiest thing to take home, and it is the place to hang out as it does have the right vibe, and you will like the friendly staff, and the fast service.
This newly-opened Moonleaf branch is located at The Pergola Mall, Aguirre Ave, BF Homes Paranaque. Since it is situated on the right side of the entrance of this mall, it is possible to be dropped off, get an order, and all in waiting time. There is a lot of parking areas. For more information, visit the Moonleaf BF Paranaque Facebook page.
It's a common misconception that most beverages are fattening but at Moonleaf, that is not the case. There are blends that'll help you lose weight, some for weight gain, and a few that work as natural remedy and cure - in a delicious drink.

Milk and even the whipped cream contains calcium. It is the sugar level option that you would have to study before ordering. 25 percent is fine for dieters, 50 is just right, and for the fullness of strength of the mix, 100. We at times do need sugar, especially if we require that extra energy boost. There is also chocolate that does make us feel happier, and that is a fact. So, when feeling the blues, it's the best reason to get a Moonleaf as we all have to give in to our cravings.

Teng Roma Salon: A Cut Above The Rest
Beauty is a journey and with the professional care of Teng Roma, it will be achieved, especially for the crowning glory. An assessment of the hair using a sophisticated gadget is how you will start your path to more beautiful hair. At Teng Roma, healthy hair that shines and sways is what you will get., along with your desired look, upon their suggestion, if you let them guide you, your dream hair will come true.
Before and after
My daughter Maxi Quema, hails from Vigan, Ilocos Sur where our heritage home is. The Quema family is distinctively known for their white hair that occurs when they are young. Maxi has been covering up her white hair with hair dye since she was 14. Her hair has long strands of white hair, that interplay with her natural brownish-black hair, and faded hair dye.
Maxi is a fashion model contest winner. She has surfer hair girl hair, and it is subjected to more wear and tear than usual. Since she gave birth to baby blogger Renee, and during her pregnancy, she has not had her hair colored and has had only one hair dye in a couple of years. The demands of motherhood make her ignore her hair, giving it only the usual at-home shampoo and conditioning treatments. The picture below shows Maxi's hair during a presscon as she was carrying Rene to meet Elmo.
Her hair got cut according to the waves and got precision cutting at Teng Roms Salon at Festival Mall. As the hair fell down to the floor, it was not a scary lot, as the length was nearly maintained, as it was being sculpted.
The colored using the Balayage technique, which is to sweep the color for that designer look as the highlights of her hair. The color applied in strategic areas made the visible change. Teng Roma Salon at Festival Mall has the cutting-edge and is the color haven. There are colors for the desired look. The choices are varied but what makes the difference is the technique. The application style is studied and precise, for each lock to look fantastic.
...and the results? Maxi still looked as natural as possible, and as glamorous as possible.
Ever think that our hair and scalp might need a good detox?
Me getting the Head Soda Spa Treatment |
It is for normal and all types of hair, be it colored or not. It is a treatment that solves certain scalp and hair concerns. It is for hair and scalp rejuvenation.
The process includes using a cleansing product and the warmth fizz of carbonated water. After the first deep cleanse, there is a hair spa treatment with head, neck, and back massage, and then again the Head Soda rinse with the pulsating water rinsing off that which makes the hair heavy and dull.
Personalized haircare
Not all hair is the same. Some have damaged hair and only require intense treatment for a certain period of time. Hair treatment is a must for repair. Kérastase by L'Oreal is a hair mask that is extra special. It does bring on the shine. Each and every strand will be shimmering thanks to this intensive hair and scalp treatment.
It's our hair and we can do what we want. We do what we prefer, cutting, styling, and coloring our hair. Through the years, the things that we do may damage our hair. Ever enter a parlor and the staff says your hair is damaged? It is irritating sometimes to hear such a statement, but at Teng Roma, it is the result of an analysis that no one can argue with. What is great is that the damaged assessment comes with solutions.

Cre8 Salon: Hotel Quality Services at Affordable Prices
The primary concern about our nails is for good grooming. Putting on polish is a thing that adds to our being pretty. As frequently as possible, nails should be done by a professional in a place that ensures that the tools used is sterile. When the application steps are done properly, you get long-lasting nails. The ones who handle your nails are vital, as the one who did my nails have the lightest hands, even when she took out the slight growth of the nail in the nail bed. I could have fallen asleep without worrying that my cuticle would get hurt, and it is pampering care with the professional layering.
I had my Gel Nails done. It is the second week and these are still great. I cook, clean, and do other chores, hard work and my nails stay intact. I do avoid using the tips for any activity to take care of these, such as using the metal scrubber for the pan, and instead use a long-handled scrubber. My Gel nails have withstood the test of time. As per this blog post, it is a bit over 2 weeks already, and my nails are still very nice. The only reason why I would have to have them done again soon is because of the growth.
Client having hair bleached |
I have hidden hair color. It peaks at the back, and that dye is red. It is so cute and makes the difference while I await my hair growth for me to be able to dye the top part of my hair. Hidden hair is trendy.
Trained professionals. Some of the staff are Tesda certified while the others get their training from L’Oreal and the other brands that they use. Aside from that, they have in-house training. The staff is never "mataray" and are very kind. They make no side comments about problems that my nails and hair encountered upon entering. They are very polite and offered me complimentary iced tea. The staff loves their work and are passionate about what they do. Detailed, very "mabusisi", the assurance that you are in good and expert hands is there.
Luxurious pampering is yours for that leisurely makeover to gain a more glamorous style from the crowning glory to the tips of the toes. Discover the expert salon that'll make your makeover dream come true.
Cre8 Salon has great deals for such quality products that they use. You need to be aware of what are the ongoing promos!
