Be Breville-lized with Breville's Kitchen Appliances

Yummy cookies with ice cream!  

I was Breville-lized over the weekend! The amazing cookies above were cooked using a Breville Multi-cooker! Isn't it amazing? Amazing! Yeah!

I had so much fun at the recently held Breville Live Cooking Demo at Wofex 2016 inside the SMX in SM Moa, yes, you're so right that's the one near the Arena!

 This yummy Shrimp Bihon were also cooked using the amazing Breville multi-cooker

How about this?

I arrived just before the cooking demo started so I checked Breville's booth first then sent an SMS to the PR then waited for her to fetch me by the entrance.  Yeah, I gawk at the Breville's booth looking for her then went right back by the entrance door, three burly security guards right on my heel giving me the "dirty look". Ha ha ha! Oh, pretty please, I don't want to pay for the Php200 entrance fee not because I am a cheapskate but because I am invited to cover for the Breville's demo, ha ha ha! Defensive. Okay, I am kuripot.  Thank you. Ha ha ha!

We love the PR who invited us to this event because they love us so much. They gave us a Breville Kettle plus we got a bottle of water plus a sumptuous "merienda". When you met a PR who's fair & kind like them you have no other choice but to love them back!

After the PR assisted us to our seats my fellow bloggers Ro, Levy, Jherwin and I waited for all the chefs on stage to prepare everything that they needed for their cooking demo at the Kitchen Theater.

Chef Philip John Golding and I

A whole bunch of chefs are on the stage. It is as if you're inside a real kitchen because you get to see all the chefs in action! Everybody was busy slicing meat, cutting vegetables, pre-heating the multi-cooker. It made me realized more than ever that I am not really destined to be a chef. Ha ha ha! I bet their stress levels are up on the roof!

Chef Philip John Golding is so hands on, we saw with our own eyes how he brushed aside a chef and took over the preparation. Maybe he wanted the preparation to be done in no time.  Yes, fast. As it was a live demo after all.  You could not afford to dilly dolly when you're dealing with a live audience because everyone were waiting for your next move. 

I would like to commend the host for breaking the traditional duty of a host by helping in cooking the food while hosting. She's not only beautiful but she's also very articulate, the epitome of a great host indeed! Congratulations Chef!

The chefs used Breville's multi-cooker to cook everything! It was fun to watch! At the end of their demo I am dying to have my own Breville multi-cooker. Imagine all the dishes you can cook using only one kitchen appliance! You can cook every imaginable dishes you have in mind such as the paella, curry bihon, cookies, pork adobo and other yummy dishes you could think of. I would love to devour all those yummy food! The Breville Multi-cooker is just amazing!

This dish smells so nice!

I hope one day my dream of owning my very own multi-cooker will come true! #BirthdayWish #BrevillePhilippines

KOREA'S ZOO COFFEE OPENS FIRST PHILIPPINE BRANCH

KOREA'S ZOO COFFEE OPENS FIRST PHILIPPINE BRANCH

Good news to all Filipinos who love everything Korean!  Yes, that includes you, you know who you are, Koreanovela addicts, Korean food lovers and K-Pop fans!

Hmmm.... Koreanovela addicts must be thinking hard where the heck they saw Zoo coffee (주커피) before! Well, you're not imagining things. You saw Zoo Coffee from the K-drama "The innocent Man" (착한남자).

All their cafe scenes were filmed at Zoo coffee, including those scenes where Kang Choco (강조), Kang Maru’s sister was working in the cafe.

The first ever branch of Zoo Coffee Korea is now officially open at Alphaland Makati. Just outside the cafe' is a towering life-sized giraffe! Whoahhhhh! The giraffe is so huge! He's practically a foot away from the ceiling!

This is the Zoo Coffee angle from inside the Alphaland Makati premises.  Outside seating and alfresco area are available on both sides of the cafe'.

The Coffee shop's view at the left side corner of the main entrance.

Safe and hygienic stuffed animals greets you upon entering the cafe. The life size stuffed animals throughout the coffee shop attracts not only the kids but also the kid at heart.

Meet my date at Zoo Coffee Mr. Panda. Like me, he loves the hot Ginseng Honey tea too!!!

Once inside you'll be transported to a whole new world of animal prints and stuffed toys! 

Starting with the jungle and Zebra light box counter that is very detailed and makes your imagination flies and transport you to a virtual African jungle.

Right beside the door from inside the mall, you'll be greeted by this enormous tree that dominates the landscape of the cafe'.  You would not miss this giant artificial tree smack right at the center of the cafe' with toy monkeys and snakes hanging on its branches.   This giant size tree has a real peels of Platycaraya strobilacea.  While inside the cafe, go ahead and touch it and feel the peel!.  While getting sugar and stirrer you could glance upwards and look at the branches with a snake that looks real.

At the side of the food counter, you would find a white tiger and a giraffe looking intently at those glorious food display. The presence of these stuffed animals and tree brings out the jungle theme of this one-of-a-kind cafe.

Not to be missed is the exotic wall silhouette (Barrisol)! I love its soft light. It is like a backdrop of a twilight in the African plain.

Inside the cafe' friends and colleagues could hold meetings and have a nice conversation. Look at those walls in zebra print.

Alone? Brokenhearted? Don't worry you can hug and have a coffee date with the cafe's safe stuffed toys manufactured by a company that manufacture non-toxic dolls.

customer having a tête–à–tête with a cute panda and a gorilla at Zoo Coffee. Well, he's checking his phone so I guess he's inviting his friends to join him at the cafe'.

Various pictures I took inside the Zoo Coffee.

The giraffe shelves is so cute!  I absolutely love this! The collectible mugs looks amazing on it!  Please take note of the little giraffe on its side. Isn't he adorable??? So cute!

The second picture shows the Zoo Coffee executive from Korea. He is cute too! Ha ha ha! Sir/ Mr. Executive please let me taste the bestsellers for free! I am not joking. Ha ha ha!

Various food choices awaits you at Zoo Coffee. Prepare to shell out at least a few hundred bucks for a simple order.

The owners are so kind they let me taste their banana waffle for free during the blog conference.  It was good. The bananas are real and not the powdered banana.  But I am looking forward on trying their bestsellers next time around.

This taste like 7-11's hot dog sandwich. It was good. Please offer rice meals for us Filipinos in the future.

I have not taste this. I only took a quick photo of it when it was served to another blogger. Looks yummy though.

You have three cup sizes to choose from for your coffee or tea. Note the animal print on their take-out cups. So cute!

Gelato's different flavors at Zoo Coffee. I was not able to taste this because they did not served this to us.

Verdict: 4 stars ****

The coffee is average. The prices are affordable. The service is friendly. An interesting place to have a cup of coffee.

The next time you find yourself bored and without a date try to drop by Zoo Coffee and enjoy its food and the atmosphere it has to offer. I think the zoo like environment of the coffee shop will help you educate your children about loving other God's creation.
