DC Opens Super Heroes Café in Manila!

Near Crossroads Hostel is the new DC Comics Super Heroes Café. It’s the official museum-eatery for comic book lovers especially those who follow Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. This is just the third of three exclusive themed cafes located in Southeast Asia — and we’re one of them! The first two is located in Singapore and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Visitors will enjoy not just the big-servings of food they serve but the variety of things to see, hear, and feel. There are exclusive souvenirs you can buy, exclusive edition comic books and graphic novels to collect, and shows to watch while enjoying all the place has to offer to you.
The diner just recently opened and we’re sharing you some pictures of the place located at the 4th level of SM Megamall Building D. We promise that going here will not just be a treat for comic book fans but for those who are curious in seeing what the fuss is all about in the comic book universe. Enjoy!

Taste our Philippines

Filipino dishes, instead, colors the ‘palate’ of your mouth


I find it hard to title this piece but yielded to what will catch your imagination of our food in the Philippines. Filipino dishes can be the most un-colorful bunch but dishes like Chicken Adobo, Lumpia, or Pancit can give your tongue a delightful sensation only your mouth can define.  Filipino dishes burst with flavors from salty, sweetness, and spicy and everything in between. I remember my lunch that my wife cooked me this morning. A spoonful of savory sweet, salted shrimp paste pork (called “Binagoongang” <Bee-na-go-ong-ang Bah-boy>) White Jasmine rice, and a bite of an unripened mango breaking off in your mouth releasing flavors that just screams with impact. It haunts my mouth giving my palate a bit of work. My senses gets flooded with thoughts that nothing has ever discovered it. It’s indeed a find, the best of Philippine dishes in gastronomical proportions.
Why don’t you taste our Philippines and the Department of Tourism’s Kulinarya Food Trips? This is where visitors and locals alike can dive deep into the different flavors of foods found in different parts of the country’s regions. There are more than ten food trips you can join and enjoy a hearty feast while touring the country with your belly filled and fulfilled.
