Treat Your Mom Like A Queen At KING CHEF Seafood Restaurant




Mother's may have a special standard date, which is the 2nd Sunday of May. But at KING CHEF, it's a whole month of May celebration! 

Give momma a kitchen break and treat the Queen for a Royal meal with a royal ambiance.


This is our second year, having the opportunity to have a sneak peek of the Mother's Day Set Menus. So timely for my Chinese food craving some few days ago. Of course, craving satisfied! And #TheANGfoodiefamily together with the #KTG family had a super gastronomic afternoon!

Two words to best describe our mothers... amazing and awesome! At this year's King Chef's Mother's Day Set Menus these beautiful words were used to name our mom's choices.


Here are the dishes from the set menus.  



AWESOME MOM'S CHOICE

I find it truly awesome, from the soup to dessert, a complete Chinese meal good for the family of three to six members. Well, if you'll get the two sets, it can cover for a family of ten or more. 

Wait, there's more! Order 1 set menu and get FREE mouth-watering Steamed Pompano in Chili Toasi Sauce.


FREE Gelatin for Mom's dessert! We love flowers, what more if we can eat it?



I honestly loved everything from the two menus. But of course, I still have my personal choice from this set, the Suahe with Salted Egg.  From the first time I've tried this dish from King Chef, like two years ago, I always look forward to having one for every visit.


The King's Special Crabroe Soup is the soup of my choice. While from the 4 Kinds Cold Cuts Platter, I really enjoy the seaweeds.

4 Kinds Cold Cuts Platter

Sizzling 5 Spice Beef

Suahe with Salted Egg

Mapo Tofu in Hotpot

Yang Chow Fried Rice


AMAZING MOM'S CHOICE


Our young foodie definitely have her own personal choice. Abi's all-time favorite soup from King Chef is none other than the Seafood with Spinach Soup. The thick creamy spinach soup can make her tummy full. And with this menu, she got her new favorite, the Crispy Chicken in Mango Sauce, actually, it was everyone's favorite! The sauce added real flavor to the golden fried crispy chicken. They're perfect together.


The Boneless Pata Tim with Steamed Buns is a sure winner for meat lovers like Mr. Ang. While the fresh steamed buns for me and Abi, we love the buns!

What's New At King Chef Seafood Restaurant?




I super loved this soup. A combination of three ginseng in one bowl of healthy soup. Another interesting part of this soup was its tender spareribs. Meat falls off the bones! It was boiled twice! 

Double Boiled Spareribs with 3 kinds of Ginseng Soup

Sauteed Seafood & Apple in X.O. Sauce

This may look intimidating as it says Braised Chilli Fish Head. No, it's not literally spicy. It's so delectable! I can have all the patience to finish the challenging head fish just to find the flavorful meat.

Hunan Tofu Hotpot


Well, all the dishes served made me and my family happy. Well-prepared, well-seasoned, well-done and everything! From the two Mother's Day Set Menus plus the New Menus, will surely make a come back.



Remember to show your love to your mom as you can invite her for an intimate dinner or family lunch. This month of May, King Chef came up with a special menu for the mothers and the family to enjoy. See from the photo above the two sets of Mother's Day Special Set Menu. This will be offered from the 1st of May 1 till the 31st. While the New dishes will be available until the end June 2019.

Summer fashion favorites everyone should be wearing now



It’s official – the season for beach trips and weekend getaways is upon us, and there’s no better time to start shopping summer’s best trends than now. Shangri-La Plaza’s Summer Fashion Show 2019: Sun, Sand, and Squad curates fashion favorites that keep everyone, even kids (twinning!), stylish all season long.



Back by popular demand, sailor stripes and chic anchor prints populate resort dressing. Get these seafaring looks from adorable sailor-inspired outfits for kids, to collegiate, sporty-luxe grown-up versions.



From tropical and botanical, to floral and geometric, fashion still has a preoccupation for prints. Wear them all over, madly and merrily. Wear art on your sleeve – literally – and take on the modern, updated tie-dye. These aren’t just for hippies anymore.



Nothing spells summer better than pops of color. Try the yellow-white-gray-black color combination creatively inspired by a sea gull on a rocky shore to inject more oceanic vibes. Or dive right in with cool blue, aquamarine, and turquoise, green sea anemone, and fiery coral shades of a world under the sea. 



The color story continues with soft, pale pastels for sweet-toothed toddlers, or standout neon colors for the bold and beautiful. Stay fresh with the season’s coolest shade, sage green, especially when paired with crisp whites and neutrals.



Stock up on graphic tees and wear them with everything, from skirts to lounge bottoms, and under strappy dresses. Boiler suits have been elevated from utilitarian protective garment to stylish and functional summer piece.



Denim is forever a style staple with the runways and city streets seeing a millennial revival of the classic blue jeans of the 80’s and 90’s, and the girls rocking sexy denim-and swimsuit combinations.



Higher temperatures mean showing more skin. Go Kim K-esque by wearing spandex as outerwear, or don the sartorial pick of summer, shorts, which have morphed into ultra shorts this season – higher on the gams and in Crayola colors, to turn a few heads at the beach and on the streets. 



Keep professionally cool and chic in tailored modern suits in ocean hues, and channel that inner bohemian with crafty, artisanal handiwork on maxi dresses for a relaxing day off. Sophisticated summer evenings call for couture in blue hues with dramatic big bows, fringes and ruffles.



Shop all these hot #SunSandSquad trends from the show at Shangri-La Plaza to #FeelTheShangVibe this summer! For kids and teens (5:00PM), browse and buy must-have pieces at Ever New, Gap, Gingersnaps, Great Kids, Joe Fresh, JustG, Mango, Mothercare, Old Navy, Onitsuka Tiger, Periwinkle, Plains and Prints, Rustan’s Department Store, Sky Castle, Stradivarius, Superdry, The Original Penguin, and Unarosa.



Checkout men’s and women’s wear favorites (7:00PM) at Anne Klein, Bayo, CLN, Daniel Hechter, Debenhams, Details, Ever New, Fino, Flower Collection, John Herrera, Mango, Marks & Spencer, Plains and Prints, Rajo!, Rustan’s Department Store, SC Vizcarra, SkyCastle, Styled, TM Lewin, Unica Hija, ViseVersa, and Weave.

San Miguel Pure Foods : Kids Kitchen Camp Bloggers' Kids Series 2019




"If kids are much more involved in food preparation, then they truly get encouraged to eat more, which promote: good nutrition, plus they learn' cooking early, a very important life skill” says Llena Tan-Arcenas, the Culinary Services Manager of San Miguel Pure Foods. 

Growing up, my daughter already showed her love in the kitchen. Watching me prepare and cook her favorites makes her happy. 


Last Friday, May 3, 2019 at the 28‘" floor Kitchen Studio of the Makati Diamond Residences (MDR), mommy bloggers kids as little chefs-in-the-making got their hands busy at the Kids Kitchen Camp organized by the San Miguel Pure Foods (SMPF) Culinary Center in collaboration with Makati Diamond Residences. 



On its 24" year, the annual activity of SMPF Culinary Center aims to instill love and appreciation for food and cooking while introducing various SMPF products that can help in preparation ease and enhance skills of young budding cooking enthusiasts.

This year, the little chefs were taught how to prepare 5 scrumptious yet kid-friendly recipes. So easy to prepare with simple ingredients that can be found inside mom's cupboard in case of "Mom is out" scenario. Kids should learn to survive in kind of situation.


Nachos Afritada using Purefoods Chicken Afritada and Magnolia Cheddar Cheese


Quick Meaty Spaghetti using Dari Creme, Monterey Ground Pork, Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs Jumbo and Magnolia Cheezee 

Pulled Pork Tacos made from Purefoods Pulled Pork BBQ Pinoy Style and Magnolia Cheezee Squeeze

Chicken Tinola simplified by using Magnolia 3-way Chicken Cinger-Base

Flower Pot Cakes made from Magnolia Devil’s Food Cake, La Pacita Graham Crackers, Magnolia Cream Cheese and Magnolia All Purpose Cream 



Quite a number for this class! The kids were divided into 6 groups, mostly 5 in one group. They worked with the assigned SMPF Culinary Center chef to teach and assist them during the cook-off. Abi's group was under Chef Robert. As you can see, she's the only rose among the torn.





There's always room for dessert for my Sweetie!


Yay! She got her certificate!

The fun-filled learning experience is now a part of Abi's a day to remember. Though the life skill of cooking maybe already innate in her system, doing it with her same age group can add more adventure.

Thanks to SMPF Culinary Center and Makati Diamond Residences for the awesome Friday afternoon to remember.

Get fresher and better tasting food with the new Electrolux NutriFresh™ Inverter Refrigerators




From settings that allow you to chill meat and fish without having to defrost, to a crisper that optimizes Vitamin C levels to lock in nutrients, the new Electrolux NutriFresh™  Inverter Refrigerators have arrived to help you make healthier and tastier meals.  


To prepare healthy and tasty meals, one needs to have the freshest ingredients. The new NutriFresh™  Inverter Refrigerator range is designed with innovative features to keep food and produce fresh for longer, so you can create truly delicious, and nutritious dishes.
