Greenwich Ultimate Green Card & Crispy Glazed Chicken

July 26, 2012

Function Room B

Megatrade Hall

Building B, SM Megamall 

This post is about letting you know why Greenwich is better than any other. Greenwich, the Philippines' leading pizza chain, came up with 3 good reasons - Greenwich Special Overload Pizza, Greenwich Ultimate Green Card and lastly, Greenwich Crispy Glazed Chicken. All these were introduced to us during the media event held in SM Megatrade Hall last Thursday. 

Greenwich Ultimate Green Card PhP 199

While waiting for the program to begin, I get to taste my favorite Greenwich pizza & pasta with a glass of iced tea ; ) In between bites of pizza & pasta, I learned that the DJs of Magic 89.9 will host the show. Boy, I was so excited to meet the voices behind Boys' Night Out (BNO) - DJ Slick Rick, Tony Toni and Sam YG! 

For my male readers, don't fret because all 4 radio vixens of Magic 89.9 also graced the event.

Gluteany It's okay to give in

172-E D. Tuazon St.,

Quezon City

Just a quick post! I just arrived early this morning in Taiwan. I can't wait to try out all the milk teas that's available here. 

Wintermelon PhP80; Special Milk Tea PhP80

In the meantime, why not try out this new tea place I have discovered in D. Tuazon, Quezon City called Gluteany. 

DH ordered Wintermelon with extra glass jelly (add PhP15). Their Wintermelon is with rock salt but since DH doesn't want rock salt on top of his Wintermelon, it was replaced by grass jelly instead. 

On the other hand, I ordered Special Milk Tea which uses brown sugar with extra pudding (additional PhP15). It tastes much like Serenitea's Okinawa Milk Tea.

A Better than Ever Greenwich Christmas with John Lloyd Cruz!

My event: November 23, 2011

Greenwich

4th Floor, Atrium

SM Megamall

Christmas started early this year with "Better Than Ever Greenwich Christmas". It is a media event that launched The Greenwich Overloaded Pizza Blowout- a nationwide pizza sampling which was Greenwich early Christmas treat for pizza lovers in the Philippines. There were over 10, 000 slices of Greenwich Ultimate Hawaiian Overload and the Greenwich Special Overload pizzas for FREE! This early Christmas treat gave customers a chance to taste why Greenwich is better than ever!

 Greenwich's Ultimate Hawaiian Overload

Meanwhile, people who attended the media event were able to taste Greenwich's Ultimate Hawaiian Overload- my favorite! Overloaded with 2x more hawaiian toppings freshly- made just for you. Taking the words from a recent Greenwich commercial, it's sooooo cheesy!

One on One Winter Trend 2011 Makeover with The Body Shop

So, last Saturday, DH- bless his heart that's why I love him- and I braved the traffic from Malabon City to SM Megamall Bldg. B for the makeover. Thanks to the power of PhP100, he was able to park somewhere near the entrance of the mall ; p

I had the opportunity to join a Chocolate Appreciation 101 last month held in Heavenly Chocolates. The workshop was conducted by Ms. Marga Manlapig, a chocovangelist and a blogger too!

The seminar is conducted every last Saturday of the month. They offer a 4pm and a 7pm session. The good thing about this hour long workshop is that it is absolutely free!

The topic varies every month but the main focus is the origin of chocolates and how to fully appreciate the different types of chocolates.

Marga Manlapig- chocovangelist

Chocolates are made from the beans of a cacao fruit (Theobroma Cacao). Its scientific name means food of the Gods. In South America, not only was cocoa beans used as food source but also as currency. To quote " Among the Maya, 4 beans could buy you a rabbit for dinner, 100 would get you a slave and 10 would get a man a wife" lol

Northern Buzz features what's hot and fresh in the metro. Northern Scene features the latest trends in shoes, bags and clothing. Northern Eats tackles new restaurants and recommend its specialty while Beauty Board suggests and gives tip on make up.

I especially like the On The Cover articles. Northern Living gives space to Liezl Martinez on their April issue and Donita Rose in their March issue. 

Liezl Martinez talks about her triumph with her recent bout with cancer, on her strength and her new lease of life.
