Gloria Maris Shark's Fin Restaurant in Greenhills San Juan, New Location of The Classic Favorite

Chinese restaurants here in Manila, or in the entire Philippines in general are aplenty. Despite the number, not all of it have the staying power like those who are now considered an institution in Manila restaurant scene. One of these Chinese restaurants that managed to stay up to now is Gloria Maris Shark's Fin Restaurant in Greenhills San Juan City.

I am guessing most of you would agree, some of us grew up indulging in authentic Chinese cuisine that Gloria Maris in Greenhills offers. It has been there for years. Recent relocation and revamped on its menu reveals that the new Gloria Maris Shark's Fin Restaurant in Greenhills is still in it for the long haul.

Recently, together with other food bloggers in Manila, we were introduced to the new Gloria Maris to sample some of their classic and new dishes. But that is after we toured the impressively enormous new location, albeit still in Greenhills area.

After foodies and some of our favorite top food bloggers in Manila raved about the awesome Lobster Buffet that was, Corniche at Diamond Hotel Manila has once again rolled out something that will blow foodies’ minds every Friday night; Salmon Nights Buffet at Corniche. One of known hotel buffets in Manila, Corniche buffet is dishing out premium quality and fresh Norwegian salmon prepared countless ways every Friday nights for the whole month of July and August 2013.

Corniche Salmon Nights Buffet suggests healthy indulgent feast by incorporating salmon dishes in every buffet station it has except for the dessert station. Whether you want your salmon grilled, raw, fried, steamed, or whatever tickles your fancy, Corniche got you covered.

I admit that I was one of those who prayed for Corniche’s Lobster Buffet promo to be extended further because my gastronomical experience with those lovely lobsters was simply legendary. Just like with any other prayers, it may be unanswered, but good heaven was so kind to replace it with something equally awesome and downright satisfying.

3:15 PM Milk Tea Philippines

3:15 PM Milk Tea is a Taiwanese brand that recently landed in the Philippines' shore to revolutionize the way we enjoy our milk tea.

Revolutionize. Big word, I know.

But seriously, milk tea that comes from natural tea bags? Pretty neat if I do say so myself. It means that even if an ill bouts of milk tea cravings knock on the door even at ungodly hours of the night, just as long as you have 3:15PM Milk Tea in tow, cravings are bound to be satisfied.

Milk tea any time, any where. How apt. I love them from the get go.

When milk tea craze took Manila by storm in the recent years, I have to admit that I was one of those who went crazy over it. Up to now, I still am crazy over milk tea. But adult life means that I do not have all the time in the world to visit milk tea shops every time there's a mean craving for milk tea. And mean craving wouldn't be called mean if it wouldn't bother you to your wit's end during the time when whatever food you are craving for is hard to come by. Mean, yes.
