Anything mommy blogger related here. This features blog events coverage. This blog also publish press release and write ups. Tips and tutorials on how to be an effective blogger.

This also include a list of top mommy blog in the Philippines.

In addition, here is the 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO BE A MOMMY BLOGGER:

1. Create a blog name that will represent you as a mommy blog. Sometimes it's good to include the noun mommy or mother or nanay.

2. Create an email the same as your blog name for branding purpose, in other words, for identification. After that, you can proceed to step 3 which is actually one of the most challenging part.

3. Open a blog. It has been debated for so many times which is the best blogging platform to use. For starters, I usually recommend blogspot because it is free. On the other han, if you are ready to shell out money, wordpress org is the best. 

4. Design your blog. This sound like an easy task to do, it is actually, however, it can be very time consuming. The number of free templates for a blog is endless. To help you decide, set your blog tone and color. Will it be a dark themed blog? Light? What will be the primary colors? And from there, searching will be easier.

5. Lastly and most importantly, Start writing. The best way to start this is to introduce yourself. Likewise, you can also create a list of why you started a mommy blog. Or you can mention top 10 things that you would want your future readers to know about you.

Sérye Post.. Vegetarian Kare Kare

Seriously? Vegetarian Kare Kare? Well maybe.. no beef but pure veggies, but what about the stock? I can’t imagine how will it taste minus the beef stock.

But then again.. Sérye Café Filipino (yes, still part of Sérye Café Filipino experience we had last Friday) made it possible.

The same goodness of Kare Kare minus the beef..the same smooth peanut based sauce, the same veggies but this time with tofu as the main meat. And since this is a Vegetarian Dish, alamang is definitely out. So what will balance the taste? This…

A serving of equally tasteful but animal free dip. Equally as it has the same effect as the alamang to your usual Kare Kare. I am so amazed at how they were able to find this dip recipe for their Vegetarian Kare-Kare. That was Tausi and Tahore..(another soya product).

And that’s Michelle in action as she took a photo of that Kare Kare..

Will I try this dish again? Of course I would! And would even recommend this to my friends who are into meat and of course this is something to rave about to my friends who are not into meat. Go try it for yourself…

And oh, the prices at Sérye Café Filipino are all budget friendly 😉

Sérye Post.. New Look, Old Recipes



Sérye Post is a sequence of post devoted to one subject… and that is Sérye Café Filipino. Serye is a play on the family name of the one who started the first Filipino themed restaurant, Engracia Cruz Reyes. If you have been to Sérye the past few days or weeks, you will notice that from their old green, white and red color, their are now changing the resto into a more warm and cozy look. “We wanted Sérye to be a coffee shop that celebrates Filipino coffee, cuisine, and culture,” Alvin Reyes Lim, the company’s president, shares. “The changes on the stores’ look and feel, particularly the menu offerings were recreated to follow this theme.”




The interiors are are Spanish/ Filipino inspired and one will notice that even the music are all OPMs. The foods are served in hand-made plates and bowls, in earthy hues of brown and green, crafted by renowned local potter Lanelle Abueva.


And for the most exciting part… the FOOD. The Reyes family’s popular dishes like Chicken Barbque, Kare-Kare, and Boneless Crispy Pata are still available but the new menu also offers a wider array of light meals, coffee, tea and chocolate beverages as well as cakes, pastries and desserts.


And so we were served with Boneless Crispy Pata, Kare-Kare, Chicken And Pork Adobo and Honey Chicken.

The Boneless Crispy Pata together with its sour dip is so good but not that as sinful. It’s not your ordinary Crispy Pata that almost burst with oil. This one had the same crispiness minus the sin. And with the way it was presented, who cannot say no to Pata?

Kare-Kare was tasteful, peanuty and beefy is what it’s all about. And the beef is tender. The alamang is so good, that even if I had a low tolerance to Alamang, I ate more that what I should. (guilty!)

Now, I love how the Chicken And Pork Adobo was served. The drippings are set in a small bowl. For those who usually eat with their kids, you know how hard it is when it comes to saucy dishes. The kids kept on asking for more sauce… and you on the other hand, keep on scraping what’s left on the serving plate. With Sérye’s Chicken And Pork Abobo, that won’t be a problem anymore. And for those who love their Adobo’s dry, Sérye is here for you.

The Honey Styled Chicken, I was not able to enjoy much but the peanut sauce (I think same as Reyes’ BBQ sauce) compliments well the chicken.

We were also served with Vegetarian Kare Kare.. which deserves a separate post of their own.. But to give you a head’s up, well, it tasted like Kare Kare, minus the beef broth and the Alamang. They used different ingredient for the dip but you will be surprised that it almost match the same taste of Alamang.

Of course the meal wouldn’t be complete without DESSERTS. We tried their Mocha Manila and the Macapuno Pandan Cake. Other than that, we also take a sip on the Beverage version of Mocha Manila and their Tsokolate Eh.

Sérye Café Filipino also offers sandwiches from pandesal which can be ordered with a choice of Adobo, Ala Cubana or Kesong Puti filling. Pasta with a twist can also be found on their upcoming menu. Kesong Puti Puttanesca and Vigan Longanisa Bolognese are some classic example.

And since Sérye Café Filipino celebrates Filipino coffee and beverages, you can find traditional Filipino beverages being served there. That includes Salabat, a hot ginger tea that is surprisingly refreshing and invigorating, and Pandan Tanglad Tea and Pito-pito, popular Filipino infusions.

As far as coffee is concerned, Sérye celebrates both choice beans and the talent of Filipino master roasters. Their coffee is siphon-brewed, each cup is prepared as you order ensuring that you get a fresh cup. The best locally available coffee beans and chocolate are used to prepare their beverages that include Café con Yema Frappe, an iced-blended coffee with a distinct caramel custard taste, Café Mocha Manila, a hot combination of coffee and tablea and Tsokolate Eh and Ah, the delicious chocolate beverages popularized in the novels of Jose Rizal. (Thanks Abby for the notes)

Sérye Café Filipino is located at Eastwood, Quezon City; Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City; and Sucat, Paranaque.

Sandalias Festival 2010



Sandalias Festival 2010, Step Into Some Love is a two day event that lets Ipanema, Rider and Grendha patrons, experience Brazil. The highlight of the event is the big Ipanema Pinata..

This Pinata comes with more than a hundred prizes, ranging from magazines, Brazilian wax from lay Bare (see even the down under can experience Brazil!), 500 Pesos, Slippers certificate, and even Boracay accommodation and Cebu pacific tickets. Now I am not lucky enough but was able to snatch a few Brazilian wax cert.. which I will be giving away soon 😉 But my little boy was happy with all the confetti!

Other than the huge Pinata and huge prizes, there were also some activities that was worth trying out. Too bad for me, I had my first day then.. waaah.. I so wanna try wall climbing! Good thing that at the photo booth, I does not require much movements..

Another activity that I badly want to try was the Rider’s Ride and surf..if not for the Foot Massage booth, I would have thought that day was not my lucky day.. but it’s still is!

Toying around with Chico as we wait for my turn…ahh.. finally! And look! They are using my favorite baby products! yay!

On with the program.. we were entertained by Steps Dance Project. A dance number full of action, tropical lifestyles and some Mafia like stunts.

Patxi Elizalde, Managing Director of ELRO Corporation, distributor of Ipanema, Ipanema GB, Grendha and Rider.

Chic women were treated to free hand pampering and nail art to match their Brazilian sandals.

And if there is one more thing to rave about… the FOOD!!! cocktails! oh and I mean oh, oh, oh.. the chicken liver in bacon and cheese are just.. OK that was indeed my LUCKY DAY!
