The Choice V: Vote for your Favorites

Dining out is no easy task. With countless food establishments opening left and right, we are often left confused on which ones are worth our time and money. Though there are several platforms or groups designed to help us decide, I've had my share of not so good experiences after visiting highly hyped (or reviewed) and heavily advertised restaurants. This is where The Choice comes in the picture. 

This August marks the fifth year of The Choice, a celebrated event that recognizes the best of the best in the food and beverage industry. 

The Choice 2018: Vote for your Favorites!

Better late than never! Be heard and vote for your favorite food establishments!

The past years have been crazy for the food industry. With restaurants opening here and there on a daily basis, we are drowning with options on where to eat. On top of that, establishments we grew to love continue to offer new dishes making it equally irresistible! Then we all have our all-time no fail favorites and new discoveries. And that is what The Choice is all about.

The Choice IV is the fourth installment of the People's Choice, a survey spearheaded by Our Awesome Planet, the country's number one food blog and part of Top 50 travel blogs in the world; the Blogger and Influencer Collective known as the KTG (Kain Tulog Gang); and the reputable World Food Expo (WOFEX). 

Starting 2018 Right with The KTG

2017 has been a year filled with discovering new food and meeting new friends. And there's no better way to welcome the new year than with some of the fantastic people I've met and love. I was not expecting to throw away my plan to eat in moderation in less than a week but I'm not regretting it a single bit especially if it means feasting with The Kain Tulog Gang at F1 Hotel.

Held at the Infinity Ballroom, I was welcomed by several familiar smiling faces and scrumptious spread from La Petite Fromagerie, The Plaza Ham, Swizzle Mobile Bar, and of course, our gracious host, F1 Hotel. 

First Bite: Charlie's Pritchon

One of the things I love about the Philippines is the long celebration of Christmas. As our Facebook and Instagram pages become filled with Jose Mari Chan's face and recycled memes, I only think of one thing... lechon. Though lechon is a staple in all kinds of celebration, it is more associated with the festive Christmas where the crispy roasted pig is shared by the whole family (and more). And Christmas sure came in early when I was invited to sample Charlie's Pritchon. 

Hello, Charlie's Pritchon.
