One thing parents and children alike get excited about during Easter Day is the Easter bunny egg hunt.  A lot of hotels have small egg-hunt events for their patrons. 

 

Ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Persians and Hindus have believed that the world began with an enormous egg, and various cultures have since adopted it as a symbol for rebirth or renewal.

 

 

Since then, the most popular tradition associated with the egg is Easter, when the vibrant colors of spring inspire the decorative motifs. that give the eggs their characteristic look. Apart from being a symbol of new life, Easter eggs are still given away as a token of friendship, love or good wishes –enduring beliefs that outlast the fast pace of life.

 

And with Easter just around the corner, expect Krispy Kreme to fill everyone’s baskets with Easter joy. To celebrate this age-old tradition, the famed doughnut shop has transformed their wide selection of treats into egg-shaped delights, featuring Hershey’s Dark Chocolate, Hershey’s Cookies & Cream, Peanut Butter & Kreme, Snickers Classic, Chocolate Custard Filled, Chocolate Kreme Filled, Sugar, Cinnammon Apple, Caramel Kreme Crunch, Chocolate Iced With Sprinkles and new varieties like Lemon Iced,  Blueberry Iced & Strawberry Iced. Available starting March 29, be sure to get these limited-edition doughnuts while supplies last.

 

 

Krispy Kreme has been making Filipinos happy since 2006, when they opened the first branch in Bonifacio High Street. Since then, it has spread to branches in Greenhills Shopping Center (drive-thru), SM Mall of Asia (drivethru), Trinoma Cinema Level, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, Ayala Avenue, Robinsons Galleria, Gateway Mall, Glorietta 4, SM City Annex (North EDSA), Annex 2 SM Fairvew, Eastwood, Marquee Mall, SM San Lazaro and SM Manila.

On the Table

 

Luna Nachos PHP 220

Fried tortilla chips loaded with scrumptious chorizo, chili con carne, cheese and Luna’s pimiento mayo.  This was a great appetizer and gathered a lot of raves from the big group.

 

 

Paella de Carne PHP 200

My favorite part of the paella is the toasted crunchy crust at the bottom of the pan.  I love scraping it off and munching on the toasty flavorful rice!  Toppings were generous.

 

 

Luna Sisig PHP 195

Size is good to share –really good bar chow for a drinking group!

 

 

Flaming Chicken Wings PHP 240

This was also a surefire hit on the table.

Do you know what the Russians are doing this week?

 

They are celebrating “Old New Year”. In Russia and in many other Eastern European countries, New Year’s holidays follow the Orthodox calendar, and festivities last for ten days. Amongst the most popular New Year symbols is a New Year’s Tree called Novogodnaya Yolka, which is topped with a bright star and decorated with various sweets. Another popularly celebrated New Year tradition is the arrival of Ded Moroz (or Father Frost) and his granddaughter Snegurochka the snow girl.

 

Here in Manila, we plan to party it up Russian-style this Saturday at Martinis with specials on Russian-themed cocktails and our signature brand of smooth house grooves.

 Jan 16 | 9pm | Mandarin Oriental
