Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant is NOW OPEN! + Giveaway

Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant has finally opened in Robinsons Magnolia. They are famous for serving authentic seafood and Chinese cuisine for those craving for an authentic taste. My family is actually very particular whenever we visit a Chinese restaurant because there is really a difference when you get your Chinese food from "so-called chinese restos." 

According to Andrea Joyce Ng-Wen,  “Xilaimen means happiness in Chinese and that is what they want their customers to experience." Their goal is to create an ambiance of joy while serving good food because she believes that a beautiful ambiance is the key for loyal customers to have an exquisite dining experience.  

Here are some of the dishes that you can enjoy at the restaurant.

• Mixed Seafood with Polonchay Soup
• Pan Fried Prawns with Salted Egg
• Lapu-Lapu in Egg White
• Sauteed Fried Crabs with Sotanghon
• Elephant Shell with Broccoli Flower in XO sauce
• Spicy Frog Legs
• Lechon Macau

• Yangchow Fried Rice
• Cold cuts

And a whole lot more. So, go ahead and visit them at the Upper Ground Floor, Al Fresco, Robinsons Magnolia.

4 signs that the Philippines is hooked to #Aldub

The latest craze involving Eat Bulaga's Kalyeserye entitled "Aldub" is a superb hit. It involved an onscreen love affair between Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza or known as Yaya Dub who never met personally. It gives us "kilig" moments and super funny antics from Wally as Lola Nidora, Paolo as Tinidora and Jose as Frankie. 

It is no surprise that people whether #TeamBahay or #TeamOffice has changed the way how they spend their lunch break. The TV ratings in terms of audience share has gone really high exceeding historical records. However, there are other signs that they are really taking the nation by storm. 

1. Prof. Randy David's review about #Aldub. 

Prof. Randy David is a known journalist and sociologist has talked about #Aldub. With his regular column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Prof. Randy David talked about Dubsmash, its uses and Yaya Dub. I have always believed that if Prof. David talks about it then there must be a sociological importance. You may read the full text here. 

2. Twitter 

Everyday, the #Aldub phenomenon never fails to become the top trending post in twitter for the Philippines and today, it ranks second worldwide. (as of writing) With millions of tweets, it is enough proof to say people are really talking about it online. 

3. The Church approves it. 

The Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines lauds and 100% approves the #AlDub kalyeserye for upholding marriage moral standards. They have shown their approval via sending a number of posts in twitter. 

4. Lastly, Cebu Pacific creates a seat sale entitled "AlduBest Seat Sale"

This actually made me smile knowing that private corporations are also taken by the #AlDub phenomenon. This promotion will start midnight of August 29. All Domestic Destinations are available for as low as Php 500 ALL IN. and all international destinations for as low as Php 888 ALL IN.
