The Penthouse 8747

September 19, 2016 by Janey

After the dinner at Naxional, we grabbed a few drinks to relax and unwind. I was bringing them to Bank Bar in BGC, which is my favorite hideout of recent, but they had a private event. We ended up going to the second one I had in mind, which was The Penthouse 8747.

Naxional South American Diner

The Penthouse 8747 offers you a scenic view of Makati’s skyline. It’s not such a big club that it gets overcrowded. Its whole area is huge enough to have good spacing in between tables with plush couches with everything still well within eyesight. It gives that slightly intimate ambience as the area looks manageable versus other bars or clubs. The interior is mainly in black with trimmings of gold, giving off a Gatsby grandeur.

Cochinillo Asado, A New Discovery at 22 Prime, Discovery Suites

June 19, 2012 by Janey

22 PRIME always had a soft spot in my heart. Bubba and I find random refuge at the restaurant located at Discovery Suites’ 22^nd floor after a long day at work. Having occupied the Number 1 post on my Between Bites’ Best Date Places in 2010, it’s no secret that I like going here for dinners and even cocktails at Serendipity Lounge. Listed among the top five Philippine restaurants by the international Miele Guide on its 2011-2012 Edition, it confirms that my taste is not far from theirs.

Bubba and I in 2009

During Spot.Ph’s Goldspot Awards, 22 Prime was also awarded as the city’s best steak specialty restaurant.

Premium Night at 22 Prime

For regulars like me who go from time to time to enjoy the steaks, surf and turf, the bone marrow with apricots or simply Chef Rick’s Cheese Bread (mouth-wateringly my favorite!), you’re in for a new dish discovery.

22 Prime doesn’t only serve well-cooked steaks as diners are delighted anew with its latest culinary offering – Cochinillo Asado.

Papa John’s Pizza in Manila

December 22, 2010 by Janey

Last Thursday, Richard, Irene, Bubba and I set out for lunch and decided to check out the newly opened Papa John’s Pizza located at Robinson’s Galleria recently opened Veranda section.

Papa John’s Pizza is a US-based pizza chain serving meals featuring mainly pizza, pasta and soup. It supposedly owns or franchises approximately 3,200 restaurants worldwide that makes Papa John’s Pizza a well established International franchise restaurant chain from USA and the 3rd largest pizza company in the world.

Now it has come to Manila and is part of its 171 restaurants in Asia. The first branch in Galleria can probably sit 40-50 people but the tables are too close to each other for comfort. I would have preferred better spacing in terms of the chairs and tables so there’s more room to move around.

Papa John’s pizza chain believes that it’s better to make a pizza using fresh dough and superior quality ingredients than just focusing on cooking technique while in the kitchen. Thus it’s tagline, “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.”

On the Table

Potato Wedges PHP 90

The Potato wedges were not seasoned well but Bubba and I finished it anyway while waiting for our food to arrive.

Chicken and Mushroom Calzone PHP 160

Irene spotted this and it was pretty good. Calzones are like Italian turnovers or pizzas folded together in a crescent-shape. This hot-off-the-oven calzone is stuffed with mushroom and chicken and served with fresh marinara sauce on the side. Its dough is soft and chewy and cooked evenly.

Chicken Wings PHP 169

The chicken wings were surprisingly and delightfully juicy. I found the price expensive though for 4 actual pieces (total of 2 whole wings only) of plump wings.

Baked Italian Meatballs PHP 140

When the plate arrived on our table, our foursome gave each other a look. The meatballs looked so tiny amidst its serving plate. However, I really liked the bright colors of red from the tomatoes, yellow from the mozzarella cheese and brown from the meatballs displayed on the plate which produced an appetizing presentation of colors.

The meatballs, although small and can be eaten almost in one bite, are packed with flavor and I love the clean taste of the grounded meat against the refreshing sauce it is doused in.

Super Papa’s Pizza Medium 12” PHP 440

It was safe to order Super Papa’s since that was our first time and we wanted to try their “house specialty” (in other words, we were so hungry that menu was only quickly perused.) Super Papa’s Pizza had pepperoni, Italian sausage, chicken, olives, and bell peppers. They served whole Pepperoncini and garlic butter sauce on the side to add flavor.

Pepperoncini (Italian pepper) tastes mild with a slight heat and a hint of sweetness since it is usually pickled.

What I particularly liked about Papa John’s pizza is the chewy dough. The chewy dough was really soft and had this distinct flavor about them. I wonder how the reheat quality of Papa John’s Pizza is once you have leftovers. I hope it still stays as chewy as it is when it’s fresh out of the oven. It wasn’t a big worry since we didn’t have any leftovers.

The story behind Papa John is that owner John H. Schmatter at age 22 tore down the broom closet in his father’s tavern, sold his car and bought $1,600 worth of used restaurant equipment, and began delivering pizzas out of the back of the bar.

In 1984, Papa John officially opened its first pizza restaurant. Fast forward to 2010, you can actually have a taste of the famous US pizza brand in the Philippines.

Not that it has anything to do with the restaurant but I just want to say that I love the name. “Papa John” just strikes a warm place in my heart.

Chef Dogan Turkish Grill and Restaurant

November 27, 2010 by Janey

The foursome of Ma, Tabs, Bubba and I decided to have lunch at Flaming Wings near the Ateneo campus but to our chagrin, it was closed that day. We combed the Katipunan area for another food spot where I can treat them and ended up in Chef Dogan Turkish Grill Restaurant.

–

Chef Dogan’s restaurant looks like a small café with a small al fresco area and an equally small 1^st floor area. The 2^nd floor holds more seating area if you are dining in a big group. Fronting their restaurant is a display of their starters that include salads and dips. Immediately right behind the display is their open kitchen.

Turkish Cuisine can be described as a modified fusion of cuisines from Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan region but it is largely traced back to the traditional cuisine during the Ottoman empire. The dishes are usually associated with yogurt which is an important element in cooking Turkish cuisine, alongside eggplants, green peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, lentils and beans. Yogurt can also accompany meat, chicken and even vegetable dishes.

On the Table

Babaganuc PHP 105

Skinless eggplant mashed into almost a puree combined with tomato, chili, fresh mint, parsley and dressed with extra virgin olive oil. Deviate from the usual order of Hummus and try dipping your bread into Babaganuc.

Chicken Wings PHP 115

Deep fried chicken wings –this was served last instead of as an appetizer. And when it was served, it tasted like it was barely seasoned. It tasted like it wasn’t defrosted well too.

Karisik Izgara PHP 395

Three (3) sticks of kebab, shish tavuk, kusbasi

Kebab – grilled ground beef

Shish Tavuk – grilled chicken

Kusbasi – grilled beef tenderloin

Served with rice and yogurt

If you can’t make up your mind, order the Karisik Izgara which is their platter of mixed grilled meats done the Turkish or Mediterranean way.

The cubes of beef and chicken are marinated seemingly in a yogurt or tomato puree base, skewered and then grilled. It’s served with a heap of white rice and garlic sauce. All the meat had a good flavor but it was the beef tenderloin that was quite notable in terms of taste.

Yarim Izgara PHP 275

Grilled Half Boneless Chicken

–

Their rice plates are all served with white rice, pita slices sprinkled with spices and small salad on the side. The grilled half boneless chicken also had the same orange reddish color that the skewered chicken meat had. This was polished off quickly by Bubba and Joyce.

If you’re in the haunt for a Turkish Restaurant, Chef Dogan in Katipunan Avenue is worth a visit.

Australian Tomahawk Chop of 22 Prime: A Definite Prime Mover

May 28, 2010 by Janey

Thursday, I made my way to Discovery Suites to partake in a hearty lunch made even more wonderful with the company at the table. Stepping into the elevator, I pressed the button with the number 22. As mentioned in my previous post, the 22^nd floor has a comfortable lounge setting as well as a relaxed dining area amidst the lavish surroundings of Discovery Suites shared by Serendipity Lounge and 22 Prime.

The last time Bubba and I were here, we had a lot to order –bisque, their bone marrow dish (served on the bone!), cheese bread and steak. It’s not surprising to order practically everything on the menu (almost all are favorably satisfying) since 22 Prime is one of our favorite restaurants in the Metro while Chef Rick’s cheese bread tops our list of comfort favorites. It is a gastronomic oasis found at the heart of Ortigas business district.

Interestingly, having a number of dinners here, I have never visited during broad daylight. Thursday was a good opportunity to view during daytime the familiar place accustomed to me in low lights. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere even with the sun’s brightness coming through their beautiful massive floor-length windows.

There’s always a sense of satisfaction whenever we dine here –from knowledgeable, adequate and genuinely friendly service to being served great tasting gourmet food.

22 Prime has always been known for its mouth-watering premium steak selections. A gargantuan guest will change the “food” landscape by introducing the largest prime steak that will definitely appeal to you and your meat-ravenous comrades. On June 1, 2010, Discovery Suites’ 22 Prime unveils the Australian Tomahawk Chop and “Verse 1” Specialty Menu.

Two of Australia’s best produce, beef and wine, take center stage at 22 Prime from June 1-15, 2010 for lunch and dinner. Gourmands with a taste for fine meats can now indulge in a large serving of Tomahawk Rib-Eye Chop, approximately weighing 1 kilogram, grilled to a gourmet’s delight and accompanied with a casserole of perfectly seasoned baby vegetables, a bowl of Caesar salad, and a bottle of Verse 1 Cabernet Sauvignon.

June is definitely a month where there’s more to discover at Discovery Suites as 22 Prime acquaints you with the Tomahawk Chop.

A Tomahawk Chop can be an intimidating piece of meat. When we came face to face with its raw greatness, the group collectively gasped, obviously wowed by the huge bone-in Australian beef.

–

Chef David Pardo de Ayala, Corporate Chef of the Discovery group of hotels, explained that such a distinguished piece of meat deserves a flawless preparation from readying the meat in room temperature to the actual grilling of the meat and to its “resting” stage which is absolutely crucial. The whole ceremony done attentively ensures an evenly juicy, tender, succulent steak at the table.

For those who are less inclined, Chef David Pardo de Ayala was born in Bogota, Colombia and was the youngest winner of Colombia’s the Nestle “Toca de Oro” representing Colombia at gastronomic competitions of continental level. He traveled to New York to further expand his professional scope and attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. After a number of years as Executive Chef in several five star hotels in Colombia and restaurants in New York, he settled in the Philippines in 2007 and opened the prominent Soleil Restaurant in Makati.

Currently, Chef David functions as Corporate Chef for the Discovery hotel group where he sets the food and beverage directions of Discovery Suites in Pasig City (which houses Restaurant 5, 22 Prime and Serendipity Lounge), Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay City (home of Café Verbena) and Discovery Shores Boracay (Indigo, Platitos and Sands). Anything that comes out of Chef David’s high-powered kitchen proves to be cooked with the freshest ingredients, care and creativity.

On the Table

Bread Sticks/Bread and Three Spreads

The perky staff brings to the long table several “tin baskets” of bread and breadsticks escorted with three different dips that are positively addicting.

1^st Dip: Skordalia

Potato puree, silky and smooth spread with a hint of lemon

2^nd Dip: Sofrito

Tomato with olive oil

3^rd Dip: Chicken Liver Pate

Very creamy with a hint of mushroom

Australian Tomahawk Chop and Verse 1 Specialty Menu PHP 4,800

Grilled Tomahawk Chop 1 kilogram, 6-Star Tenderplus Australian Beef Rib Eye Steak

Served to share with a Casserole of Baby Vegetables and a Bowl of Caesar Salad “22 Prime”

1 Bottle of Verse 1 Cabernet Sauvignon

*Allow 25 minutes cooking time

The Tomahawk Chop is one of the largest rib eye steaks in Australia and culled from Tenderplus 6-star grass fed beef. It takes its name from the 30-centimeter of rib bone that is left attached to the meat, which in turn increase the meat’s flavor and tucks in the moistness when grilled.

My Portion of the Tomahawk Chop

Quick-fire thoughts:

I love the ample size of fat that adds a buttery texture

and heightens flavor of the meat

Peppercorn sauce bursts a bouncy flavor that goes perfectly with the chop

The salad is a good pause in between bites of meat as a cleanser to the palate

Side of baby vegetables had the right crisp and seasoning

–the lone brussel sprout was my favorite! Quite tasty!!! 🙂

The Tomahawk Chop is a perfect order when dining with friends. Cast off inhibitions as you all dig in with immense hunger for the tender and flavorful Australian beef. There is an option to have it sliced proportionately in the kitchen. Share with a group the unadulterated pleasure of high-end beef and clink your glasses “cheers” to a vibrant wine served on your table. This is the moment that is best shared with good friends.

Accompanying this gastronomic indulgence is a bottle of Verse 1 Cabernet Sauvignon from Brookland Valley –cited Winery of the Year by the James Halliday 2009 Australia Wine Companion. Verse 1 wine has rich, vibrant garnet in color while it displays full blackcurrant aromas with hints of leafiness balanced out by fine French oak. The palate is fruit driven with a soft texture and oak flavors. Elegant richness balances well with the meat’s intensity.

Chef David, with years of experience cooking in Colombia, Manhattan and Long Island, prepares wonderful dishes both menu staples that have become favorites and upscale monthly specials that you’d certainly want to catch. 22 Prime becomes a more familiar place to you and friends for great food and conversation –a prime spot to share an enjoyable meal that first awes your dining group visually with its massive size, and once cooked, follows through with winsome taste.

Jacob’s Shawarma

January 28, 2010 by Janey

Located at the heart of Ortigas’ business district is a Mediterranean gem that offers the best shawarma in town. The red signage with a photo of a handsome Turkish man that says “Jacob’s Shawarma” marks the spot. So unassumingly nestled somewhere in between the towering buildings of Ortigas, open the door to a restaurant that brings what’s delicious about Turkey to your table.

A big map of Turkey on the right wall welcomes guests while beautiful photos of the country are amidst the red wall. Tilt your head upward and notice the red flag of Turkey hanging from the high ceiling.

Most people think that shawarma is a Persian food, but Jacob educates us that shawarma originates from Turkey –there is only a Persian version of shawarma.

Shawarma or Doner Kebab is a sandwich-like wrap of shaved lamb, beef, chicken, turkey, or fish or a mixture of meats. The shaved meat comes from marinated chunk of meat placed on a vertical spit slowly roasted as the rod turns. The word shawarma comes from the Turkish word cevirme, meaning turning.

On the Table

Lamb-Beef Shawarma PHP 200 (2)

Grilled spiced lamb beef shavings garnished with minced onions, tomatoes and lettuce wrapped in wheat flat bread. Surprisingly, it was 12-inches long per Shawarma but it was so flavorfully spiced and yummy that we were both able to finish the 2 orders totaling to 24 inches of beefy shawarma goodness between us.

Quite intriguing is that Jacob’s shawarma is not served with the usual white dressing made out of garlic and yogurt. Instead, placed on the tables are squirt bottles of lemon juices. The spice from the marinated lamb-beef holds on its own but the dressing gives a refreshing citrus twist to the wrap.

We ordered their Yogurt Drink PHP 50 and C2 Green Tea PHP 45 as our cool-down drinks.

Jacob’s Shawarma Everyday Menu

Monday – Chicken Shawarma PHP 120

Tuesday – Beef and Lamb Combination – PHP 200

Wednesday – Fish Shawarma (Salmon or Blue Marlin) PHP 160

Thursday – Chicken Shawarma PHP 120

Friday – Beef and Lamb Combination – PHP 200

Baklava PHP 50

Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey.

Taste shawarma like you’ve never tasted it before by heading to Jacob’s Shawarma in Ortigas. Get it anytime of the day because the restaurant is open 24 hours.

Manila News Today: Car Blast at The Fort Under Investigation

December 15, 2009 by Janey

There was a car explosion that rocked Taguig City this afternoon that burned the driver inside the car to a crisp. The blast happened in the Fort Bonifacio Global City near Serendra and right across the Fully Booked bookstore in Bonifacio High Street (BHS).

Image Linked From: EQAddict from Tsikot Forum

The authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion. Speculations abound that the blast involves foul play. No indication yet from police reports.

Premium Night at 22 Prime

September 2, 2009 by Janey

It was Saturday, the cool and crisp evening air surrounds the city. The night was begging for a gratifying dinner and off we headed to Discovery Suites. Café Verbena of Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay was a delightful experience when I gave Bubba his birthday treat in 2008. No need to travel far south as Discovery Suites in Ortigas can perhaps replicate that.

The 22^nd level of Discovery Suites leads to a modernly decorated lounge with plush interiors and expansive glass windows that provide a luminous visual of North Manila’s skyline. Live piano music fills the air. Candle lit lamp adds romance to each table. The elegance and sophisticated charm of Serendipity Lounge of Discovery Suites extends to the restaurant adjoining it, 22 Prime –the very destination of that evening’s dinner.

On the Table

Bread Sticks/Bread and Three Spreads -Free

1^st Dip: Skordalia

Potato puree, silky and smooth spread with a hint of lemon

2^nd Dip: Sofrito

Tomato with olive oil

3^rd Dip: Chicken Liver Pate

Very creamy with a hint of cheese pimiento

Chef Rick’s Cheese Bread PHP 140

Sun dried tomato bread, broiled four cheese topping with baby greens

Gooey warm cheese topped on three breads, soft and bursting with tantalizing flavors. Served with baby greens in a mild citrus dressing sparkled with pink peppercorn. Sun dried tomato and broiled four cheese together? It’s an exercise in indulgence.

Their Prime Rib nights (PHP1, 195) are every Friday, 350 grams Prime Rib with soup and salad. We opted to go for the Rib Eye instead since I’m not a big fan of meat sitting under the strobe of light for hours.

22 Prime Rib Eye Steak 400 grams PHP 1,295

USDA certified prime beef served with choice of two steak sauces from a selection of Forrest Mushrooms, Three Peppercorn, Teriyaki Barbeque, Three Mustard Cream and Horseradish Cream.

Horseradish is a staple in sauce option. Instinctively, the decision was to go with Three Peppercorn, which is an obvious choice for me since I love peppercorn. Option for the second sauce left a debate between Horseradish Cream and Forrest Mushroom. Irresolute faces prompted Dors, the friendly and knowledgeable table attendant, to pipe in and recommend Horseradish between the two. She was nice enough to throw in Forrest Mushroom as our third sauce though.

The accessories that came with the steak entrées to enhance the gourmet experience are Twice Baked Potatoes, Potato Gratin, Hand Cut French Fires, Potato Puree, Garlic Roasted Potatoes, Roasted Mushrooms, Spinach Gratin, Grilled Asparagus, Braised Baby Carrots and Grilled Zucchini. Potato Gratin was the prime choice.

The steak was already split into two on its arrival. A blob of mashed potato artfully needled by crackers and roasted tomato twigged by a clump of herbs accompanied the Prime highlight of the meal. I wanted the doneness to be medium while Bubba wanted medium well so I opted for the latter.

The first few bites were sheer beefy pleasure with fat that melts in your mouth. Halfway through my steak though, the meat tends to be dry, which is a complete puzzle because the first half was juicier. When Dors came to ask how was the steak, I told her that it was tad bit dry. She said that it must be the doneness, which is a good point. I’ve tried medium well so many times and it wasn’t usually as dry as the other half of the steak. A spade is a spade. It was really a bit dry. I call it as I taste it.

Bubba enjoyed his part of the steak very much and said it was moist and tender. The steak tasted luxurious and liked it better than the Wagyu we tried a month ago. I agree with him only midway *wink* and didn’t finish the drier half of the steak. He finished it for me.

Complimentary dessert –trio of dessert

Pandan cheesecake, mango panna cota, strawberry chocolate with whipped cream

The allure of Discovery Suites carries through its restaurant, 22 Prime. This refined place served palatably creative food and offers service that is professional and attentive. Service is top notch –Discovery is truly known for so many years.

Reasonably priced, enjoy an intimate dinner for two or celebrate with a group. At the elegant 22 Prime, experience a meal that throws off sparks in a dining room that radiates in both service and gourmet food.

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Investigated

July 29, 2009 by Janey

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and LAPD detectives searched the residence and office of Conrad Murray, each location a week apart. Murray is Michael Jackson’s doctor who is believed to have given Jackson a lethal dose of anesthetic Propofol.

Propofol is used to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. In hospitals, only a trained anesthesiologist is allowed to administer the drug under strict monitoring conditions.

TMZ.com reported that Murray had told police in an interview he gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip. The website reported police believe Murray may have fallen asleep while the drug was being administered, and awoke to find the singer already dead.

If Murray did inject Jackson with Propofol negligently, he can be charged with homicide.

The federal agents and police came to his office a week earlier with a search warrant seeking evidence for the “offense of manslaughter”

The LA Coroner’s office reported that the toxicology result is due by the end of this week.

Michael Jackson Movie

July 22, 2009 by Janey

A Michael Jackson movie could hit theaters by the end of 2009. Rumor is Sony Pictures is willing to pay the 50-million dollar deal for worldwide rights. AEG Entertainment, the company who owns the 80-hour material showing Michael Jackson rehearsing for his planned series of comeback concerts, had previewed the footage to different Hollywood studios. The television rights are up for bidding at $10 million.

Kenny Ortega, the choreographer for the King of Pop’s “This Is It” concerts might direct the movie. He is also famed for the hit film, “High School Musical.”

We’ve seen a few clips of the rehearsal footages but that’s only a morsel compared to what AEG has in their possession. The footage released last July 2 showed the international pop superstar practicing a song-and-dance routine at Los Angeles’s Staples Center two days before his death. The footage shows that Jackson had been in good health prior to the day he died.

Jackson was found barely breathing on June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion. A final cause of death has not been revealed as coroners await the results of toxicology tests.

Michael Jackson Memorial –Most Touching Moment

July 8, 2009 by Janey

Millions of people all over the world stayed tune to the live coverage of Michael Jackson’s public memorial. 20,000 people flock to Staples Center, Los Angeles to celebrate the King of Pop’s life. Family and friends of Michael Jackson remembered his contribution to the music and to the world.

Brooke Shields expressed her breaking heart as she remembered her younger moments with Michael Jackson, as well as Berry Gordon, founder of MoTown Records, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, Stevie Wonder.

The most touching moment for me during the memorial is when the whole family of MJ was onstage and Paris Jackson, one of Michael Jackson‘s three young children, and spoke about her late father. With Janet Jackson on her side, she broke down saying that her father is the best father imaginable… her voice cracked as well as her heart when she expressed her love for her father.

Growing up under shades, blanket, masks, Michael Jackson made efforts to protect his children’s faces from the paparazzi for more than a decade. But on Tuesday, in front of an audience of thousands at the Staples Center and millions more around the globe, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael; 11-year-old Paris-Katherine; and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket clutching a Michael Jackson doll, sat in the front row, taking in their father’s memorial service at Staples Center.

The ceremony’s significant spotlight was on Paris addressing the crowd while fighting back sobs. She breaks down in public in remembrance of her dad as millions of fans’ heart mourned with her.

“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” she said, her tiny voice cracking. “And I just wanted to say I love him — so much.”

Another tearful moment was Jermaine Jackson singing a song for his brother. Viewers all over the world were stricken with emotion when the elder Jackson who was in tears performed his brother’s favorite song, “Smile.”

The group performed “We are the World” on the stage to honor Jackson’s role in bridging races.

Jackson sold an estimated 750 million copies of his album. Only Elvis Presley and the Beatles are within this record.

The Battle for Michael Jackson’s Estate Continues

July 7, 2009 by Janey

Jackson’s public memorial is scheduled on Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. Ticket winners started retrieving their passes to the Staples Center ceremony. More than 1.6 million people registered for the free entrance tickets. From the registered million, only about 9,000 names were picked. The ticket allocation is two per person. Email notifications were sent to the lucky fans that scored the hottest ticket in town. Sadly, some were selling their much-coveted tickets on Ebay starting at USD 3,000.

The list of participants at the memorial includes Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Kobe Bryant, Brooke Shields, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Lionel Richie, John Mayer, Usher, Jennifer Hudson and Martin Luther King III.

While the memorial organizers, Los Angeles police and Michael Jackson fans are busy in the upcoming public memorial at Staples Center, the battle for the King of Pop’s estate continues. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled against the request of Jackson’s mother to be put in charge of Jackson’s estate. The judge granted Michael Jackson’s longtime attorney, John Branca and music executive and family friend, John McClain to oversee the pop singer’s estate for now. Based on the 2002 will that surfaced recently, Jackson wanted the two to administer his estate.

Jackson died June 25, deeply in debt. But a court filing estimates that his estate will be worth more than $500 million. His assets are supposed to be for a private trust. Michael Jackson owned a 50 percent stake in the massive Sony-ATV Music Publishing Catalog, which includes music by the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers.

The family also asked if Jackson’s mother, Katherine can co-administer the estate with Branca and McClain to ensure that there is no conflict of interest since the two also has involvement in Jackson’s other shares. They also wanted more time to see if another would emerge and to accommodate Jackson’s memorial service. The judge however denied the request.

The judge further grants Branca and McClain several powers over the estate, including the rights to negotiate a settlement with concert promoter AEG Live over refunds for Jackson’s canceled London shows.

Michael Jackson’s life and legacy will be memorialized publicly at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. People all over the world are organizing memorial services as well at their own locals to pay tribute to the King of Pop not only as a performer but bearer of a good heart.

Uno

January 27, 2009 by Janey

“Uno restaurant” has been ringing over my ears for more than a year now. It was on the restaurant list I’ve always wanted to try but since I am rarely in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, and Bubba works in the area (thus I’m sure he is tired of it), I haven’t had the chance to pay a visit. …Not until one evening Bubba invited me to dinner.

It is an old-fashioned restaurant that can be mistaken for a duplex apartment sitting at the corner of Tomas Morato and Scout Fuentebella. This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend we met at the Dinelli Gourmet launch. He said that the restaurant had undergone several renovations and through a lot of changes, including the menu, he has been a loyal patron of Uno. His support stems from the consistency of the food that remains to be unchanged.

On the Table

Carrot and Chili Bisque PHP 170

We requested the soup to be split into two and the courteous wait staff readily agreed. It was our first time to try carrot soup and like carrot juice, it pretty much didn’t convert me into a fan. What I appreciate is how the chili spikes the bisque good enough to make the carrot flavor livid.

Barbecued Lemon Grass Chicken with Calamansi Sesame Dressing PHP 340

There were a few interesting dishes on the menu I was intrigued to try. Bubba thought I was being moderate by trying the barbecued lemon grass chicken. I had to point out to him the word Calamansi to make him a believer. Anything calamansi has my name on it. I love calamansi, lemon, green mangoes and other sour victuals. I put Calamansi in almost anything I eat… siomai, siopao, popcorn, fish cracker, etc which makes Bubba give me the weird eye. The Barbecued Chicken didn’t have much skin on it (which is great if you’re watching the calories) and the white meat was cooked perfectly with just enough juice to prevent the meat from being rubbery. I wish I asked for more Calamansi Sesame dressing as it made me enjoy this wonderful subtle dish.

Lamb Shank Braised in Balsamic and Fresh Turmeric ADOBO Sauce PHP 480

Lamb shank is one of the more favorite cuts of lamb. Uno’s version that incorporates the Filipino favorite Adobo in the sauce was brilliantly done well. The tender flesh of meat melts in your mouth with the deep taste of Balsamic infused Adobo sauce.
