PRESS RELEASE:

The United Kingdom is not only synonymous with royalty, the Beatles, the famous London Bridge, The Queen, but a whole lot more.

Food is also another example of British invasion around the world: ever heard of brunch (breakfast and lunch), fish and chips, high tea, and of course, biscuits.

Credit of McVitie's popularity goes to father and son, William and Robert McVitie. They demostrated passion in baking and made the company intoa major global brand. McVitie's is known for its deliciously baked goods and became a household name since 1830's.

In 1892, an employee by the name of Alexander Grant developed a line called "Digestives" which is still popular today. These biscuits are made from whole wheat and is rich in fiber and is a guilt-free snack for the health conscious.

This famous global brand is now locally available in leading supermarkets nationwide.

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
