Five Comfort Foods From Century Park Hotel to Get You Going For The Rainy Days

Tweet

The wet season can really dampen one’s spirit. Since most of us are still working from home and attending classes online, it feels extra hard to be productive with the gloomy atmosphere and the cold bed weather. 

To beat the monsoon blues and get that much-needed boost, try these five dishes you can order from Century Park Hotel Manila:

Bulalo

Every Filipino family loves to share a bowl of hot beef or pork shank soup in the middle of a cold, heavy downpour. Bulalo is best enjoyed when its meat has been simmered very well to bring out its flavor and served with nutritious greens such as cabbage and Bagui beans. Tenderizing the meat takes quite long but as what they say, the best ingredient is time and patience.  

 

Sinigang

The lingering sour taste of this dish makes us drool especially this wet season. Whether it comes with pork, prawns or salmon fish, sinigang’s tamarind-based soup rouses the senses and boosts the appetite. With a little spice added to it for that extra kick, it will keep you warm despite the cold weather. 

 

Ramen

Rainy season is the perfect occasion to enjoy an oishi bowl of ramen. Not only is this dish a hit in Asia but also in the whole world because of its flavorful broth made from a variety of ingredients such as chicken or pork bones. Its filling noodles makes it extra special. Normally complemented with tamago, cuts of chicken, beef or pork, nori, scallions and others vegetables, one serving of ramen is already a feast for the taste buds.

Mushroom Soup

A bowl of hot and steamy mushroom soup is truly a bed weather pleasure. Its creaminess, aroma and the tender bites of the mushrooms makes for a delectable mood-booster. Other recipes you can choose from are crab & sweet corn soup and pumpkin soup. Enjoy these dishes all the more when paired with delicious bread from the Deli Snack. 

 

Arroz Caldo

On cold mornings or afternoons, arroz caldo is everybody’s go-to snack. A dish as unassuming as this can carry you through the monsoon blues. The ginger completes the full-bodied taste and leaves you wanting for more. Filipinos love to eat this comfort food with slices of chicken, pork and boiled egg.  It is then garnished with a zest of kalamansi and fried garlic bits.

 

Get a taste of how these comfort foods are prepared by award-winning chefs. Contact Century Park Hotel Manila at 8528-5855 or 0917-633-2497, via SMS or Viber to order.

If there’s any food for thought that the ongoing quarantine has brought us, it’s having a deeper appreciation for neighborhood restaurants whose take-out and home delivery services have enhanced their value in terms of customer convenience anywhere one goes in the world.

Still, amid today’s health situation, every day leaves people pining for their cozy neighborhood restaurants as places where both locals and visitors can relax, have a taste of home, and experience new and familiar cuisines. In most cases, people already miss spending time in quaint dining spots to simply enjoy each other’s company as they savor the food offerings and the homey ambiance. Small wonder why the restaurant and the culinary experience it provides have always been at the center of a community. 

In Tagaytay Highlands, a premier residential development and leisure destination in the Philippines, restaurants present an outstanding gastronomic experience to homeowners and their visitors, while retaining that familiar feeling of home. Featuring the finest dining outlets and specialty restaurants, Tagaytay Highlands makes sure that every place is worth the visit.

For homeowners who prefer genuine Chinese cuisine, Highlands China Palace, set along Palace Drive near the Sports Center, is Tagaytay Highlands’ authentic Cantonese restaurant, which serves the best dishes all-year-round. Its Winter Garden on the ground floor serves Cantonese a la carte specialties. 

The Great Room is situated on one of the highest points of Tagaytay Highlands. Here, guests of The Spa and Lodge enjoy fine, healthy meals close to home amid an authentic log cabin ambience as one gets a whiff of the aromatic scent of its western red cedar logs.

Making the most out of your bucks

Pinoy challenges

“We acknowledge the ever changing needs of our customers, especially under the new normal.  Because of the pandemic, consumers and businesses alike have fewer opportunities to connect with one another.  That is where we come in.  We envision ZRewards by Zeal as a source of discovery and delight for the consumers and a platform for merchants to reach out to their customers,” said Glenn Z. Estrella, Chief-Executive-Officer of ZRewards by Zeal. 

One of the pain points right now for a lot of Filipino consumers is that looking for deals is challenging. For some brands, it includes a paid membership to a loyalty program. For others, it entails going through dozens of websites just to find one single deal which may not even be valid or worth  the effort. 

Deals have become even more important during the COVID-19 outbreak. As people try to manage their finances more sustainably, deals, discounts and rewards can make a world of difference.  

It’s a similar situation for businesses. With the limited number of people going out, a lot of restaurants and stores need to find a way to sustain business operations. Deals are one of the few effective ways to entice customers to grab their phones and make an order. However, distributing those deals can also be problematic and costly. 

Through ZRewards, it’s a win-win situation for both parties. Businesses now have another platform to meet their customers while customers will benefit from big saving and irresistible deals under just one roof. Visit their website and sign up today: https://zeal.ph/signup .

ZRewards by Zeal is a brand under 917Ventures, the largest corporate incubator in the Philippines and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globe.
