New Spot in Town: GREENHILLS SKYLINE

Looks like there's a new spot in Greenhills that you have to visit today, it's called Greenhills Skyline and they opened it a few days ago. It sits right above the Connecticut Arcade and boasts an open air space with lovely San Juan cityscape views while you enjoy affordable food, booze and music to entertain family and friends in this district.

Food Selections

If you're looking for a quick snack or something to share, they've got a lot of merchants in this floor that you would enjoy. From Italian and Filipino viands, street food, sushi, shawarma, cord nogs, juices, coffee, cocktails and a whole lot more are available... and they're not that expensive which is a plus on the budget conscious.

Must try vendors include Kape Imperial who serve single origin coffee from the Philippines, Sunset bar for their cocktails and beer. You can also buy fruits and fresh produce from the Urban Garden during the weekends. Not to mention the lovely bean bag area so you can chat with friends and family while having bar chow and food from the stores there. You can choose from Tuna Town Ihaw-Ihaw for grilled stuff, Takamura Sushi and Ramen for some Japanese flare, House of Pizza and Pasta for those who want something Italian, Fresh Deli for fruit shakes and juices, Zhai's Delights for Filipino desserts, King Shawarma for middle eastern food, Wings on Wheels for your spicy wing fix, Monster Burger for grilled Australian Beef burgers, Hungry for Hungarian for sausages, corndogs and Vigan Empanada, Mix n' Munch for fried street food faves, and a whole lot more.

They are open mall hours and even have busking/performers on special days, go visit them soon! I'll be going there this weekend with some blogger friends, I hope I get to experience this (because I got stuck in traffic and got no grab a few days ago). I'm just so excited for this new spot!

Ken Chan's Empire: Opens Second Branch of CAFE CLAUS

Just left Greenhills Promenade while writing this piece as I've attended the launch of CAFE CLAUS at this location, their second one after putting up CAFE CLAUS in Tandang Sora QC. For Ken, this has been a pretty memorable place because his tatay German Moreno aka "Kuya Germs" used to bring him here to unwind and have fun when he was still alive. The new branch has a German Christmas theme as they wanted a different one in every branch they put up, and yes, talks are in the works for putting up about 3 more of these within the year.

 

Their Ensaymada is glistening in gold! Just one of the nice things at Cafe Claus!

Ken and his partners are ecstatic that the first branch is doing well and they've been able to study the market well even if we're still under the pandemic. Food served in this branch still has the classics but will have some special items in the menu that would represent the German them they are executing for the Greenhills branch. We talked to Ken, his partners and chefs about their future plans which seem so exciting especially for those who are in the look for a coffee shop that would make them escape reality while having a cup of joe in their shop (even for just a few hours). Here's what transpired during the launch!

My only question was, is he building his empire? Ken says "I don't know if it's an empire or not, I'm just venturing into businesses that I love, ones that I have passion in and if that means it'll all be successful in the near future, I'd love that!"

In the press conference, they also have confirmed reports about building branches in Eastwood City, Tagaytay City which will also have different themes. So if you're a fan of Ken or just love Christmas, you've got several places to go this year as they expand CAFE CLAUS in Mega Manila. They also have plans to put up one in nearby provinces, pretty soon in Visayas and Mindanao too. I suggest you get the Roast Chicken and Lasagna which is such a hit with regulars at Cafe Claus. They have mean cakes and pastries too that's not too sweet because they do use sugar free options too (perfect for diabetics like me). For those who would want to visit, just go to Greenhills Promenade and find them at the center right at the side of the escalator from the cinemas. Thank you to the super nice people at Cafe Claus Greenhills Promonade, I'll be back there real soon!

SHERYN REGIS is BACK : Back To Love!

I remember how I always used to sing Come On In Out of the Rain in the shower couldn’t hit the last few notes because yes, Sheryn Regis is a legend. 

The Crystal Voice of Asia is back in the Philippines and yes she’s doing something she LOVES which is singing and performing on stage. So they aptly named her comeback concert BACK TO LOVE: Sheryn Regis. Undoubtedly, she is one of the most powerful singers this country has produced. I did root for her during a singing competition she joined years back. She chose to live a simple life and live with her family, to take care of kids in Houston Texas. She’s had a round of Cancer scare, depression, but she has mustered strength to overcome all these trials and healed wonderfully. After a while, she worked with TFC shows in the US and enjoyed raising her kids til now that they could fend for themselves. She knew what she wanted to do, asked permission from them and they gladly tell her to go for it. She went back to the Philippines and signed with March On Entertainment Inc. The concert will happen at the Music Museum on February 28 8pm. This will be directed by Alco Guerrero and will fortell Sheryn’s life story, all expressed in music. She promised to perform several of your favorites, and introduce a brand new Sheryn Regis too. 

She will also have her Free To Love Concert in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada on Valentines Day, another one in Tallahasse, Florida on the 8th and Steinbach Manitoba Canada on the 15th. It will be a pretty busy February for her too as hey will release a single during the 2nd Quarter. She also hopes to go back to acting, a craft she loves too. For those in other parts of the world, she’s going to have her own YouTube channel to document her daily life. She’s Sheryn Regis, and she’s back... you better get ready!

Tickets are sold via Ticketworld.com.ph, go get them before they run out!
