Taste Buddies BTS: Chef Laudico's Guevarra's

#latepost #2014 #buffet #behindthescenes

Pinoys love food. And so a trip to Chef Laudico's Guevarra's @ San Juan is a real treat. Think buffet, home-cooked Pinoy cuisine!!!

I absolutely had a great time doing this episode since (well, buffet aside) Chef Lau actually participated in the opening skit! Now that's a break from his usual TV persona. See the BTS photos!

Episode guests were Kapuso Stars Jeric Gonzales and Denise Barbacena.

You may notice the heart-shaped decor across the facade. That's because we went there around Valentine's 2014.

For those who need details for Guevarra's, here's their Facebook page.

And an added info:

"An upscale buffet restaurant in San Juan offering no other than the creative masterpieces of Chefs Roland and Jackie Laudico."

Taste Buddies BTS: Korean Cultural Center in Manila

#latepost #so2014 #behindthescenes #tastebuddies

Did you know that there's a Korean Cultural Center (KCC) in Manila?

It's located at:

2F Mancor Corporate Building, 32nd St. Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City 1634.

I had the chance to go there for my show and it was a blast! Anyone who'd like to go to Korea -- whether for a short vacation or to permanently live there-- should at least drop by at KCC to see what Korean Culture really is!

Episode guests were Kapuso Star Barbie Forteza and Eat Bulaga's Foreignoy Dasuri Choi.

If you're wondering what's in store for you, you might want to check their website.

Anyway, sharing with you some BTS during my visit there.

Everyone was so accommodating. And the staff would really introduce you to the different aspects of Korean life--- the cuisine, the music and the arts and so much more!

According to their website, they offer different programs.

        "Regular programs include class offerings on Korean language, traditional flute, traditional music and dance, Kpop song and dance, Taekwondo, and cooking classes. Several events are also lined up every year with the Korean Film Festival as one of the most popular among Filipinos. Meanwhile, KCC’s special programs and projects provide collaborative opportunities with both local and other foreign cultural institutions in the country."

2014 was also the year when we got to see the two Bellas do some belly dancing!

Here are some of the behind the scenes pics.

It was a joy to see these two shimmy-ing! :)
