What it means to grow happy and healthy

All moms and dads want to see their kids grow happy and healthy, which is why they go to great lengths just to give their children the best, regardless of life circumstances.

Comfort is, a probiotic that helps strengthen tummies to provide better digestion and help in absorption of nutrients, making sure that kids get the nutrition they need during their growing-up years. It is also packed with Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and DHA for overall growth and development.

NESTOKID® FOUR, however, acknowledges that milk is just one of the key components to raising a happy and healthy child, and therefore encourages parents to complement proper nutrition with providing their children a nurturing environment where they can play, imagine, and bond with loved ones.

The and proud mommy of two, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco agrees saying, “I learned from my experience with Amelia that proper nutrition should go hand-in-hand with a happy home talaga. I really think it makes all the difference, lalo na ngayon na nakikita ko kung gaano siya ka-confident saschool at kung gaano kadali sa kanya makipagkaibigan.Daig pa ako sa pagiging Ms. Congeniality!”

Bai Nian Tang Bao Brings Original Xiao Long Bao, Giant Tang Bao and other authentic Shanghainese dishes to the Philippines!

Giant Tang Bao

Filipinos have grown to love Chinese food, from noodles to dimsum. But there’s more to Chinese cuisine than the Cantonese dishes we’ve all grown up with. So for those of us looking for a new experience in Chinese cuisine, the wait is over as the world-famous restaurant Bai Nian Tang Bao is bringing authentic Shanghainese cuisine to the Philippines and is opening its first branch in Uptown Parade, BGC. 

Xiao Long Bao

Xiao Long Bao 

Bai Nian Tang Bao serves authentic Xiao Long Bao from the original recipe that has been around since 1786. The name is a combination of Bai Nian, that means hundred years and Tang Bao that translates to soup dumpling. Its first branch in Shanghai has become a sort of a tourist spot, as visitors from all around the world queue up just to get a taste of their famous Xiao Long Bao. 

The restaurant currently has over 300 branches in China and several branches in US and Korea. Now, owners Robert Lim and Paul and Christine Li aspire to bring Bai Nian Tang Bao’s authentic Xiao Long Bao to the Philippines.

All of Bai Nian Tang Bao’s Xiao Long Bao are prepared fresh in their kitchens.

What is the secret to Bai Nian Tang Bao’s Xiao Long Bao? 

Paul Li reveals, “Bai Nian Tang Bao’s secret is in the soup — it takes around 12 hours to cook it. It also takes about 20 steps to make an original Xiao Long Bao, and all this is made fresh in our kitchen!”

The restaurant takes pride in its Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao. Made from a special crab found only in a particular lake in Shanghai, the Crab Roe is shipped to the Philippines to ensure an authentic taste. This legendary dish had royal origins – history tells that during the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qian Long had a tour on the South. He passed by Long Pao Town in Jiangsu, where the people specially prepared Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao for him.

After he tasted it, the emperor was very satisfied and he kept saying “taste so good, taste so good”. That’s how it started when the people named it “Xie Huang Tang Bao”, and it became one of the specialties in the Emperor’s menu. Now, we can try this dish that has graced the royal menu of China!

Their glorious Giant Tang Bao is also a must-try. It comes with a straw that is to be used to poke the bao and to drink the delicious soup. Truly, the Giant Tang Bao’s grandeur does just not come from its size but also from its fantastic taste.

Bai Nian Tang Bao also serves other equally glorious varieties of Xiao Long Bao such as Chicken Soup Pork Xiao Long Bao, Scallops and Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Golden Corn Pork Xiao Long Bao. They even have a pan-fried version called the Shanghai Golden Sheng Jian Bao, a traditional Shanghai snack that’s crispy on the outside with juicy soup on the inside!

Noodle fans should also give Bai Nian Tang Bao’s noodle series a try, like the Three Seafood Treasure Fried Noodles or the Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles. For a different take on dimsum, don’t pass up the Sticky Rice Dimsum. 

Delectable rice dishes are also on the menu like the Beef Fried Rice and Special Sausage Fried Rice. And for meat lovers, don’t leave without trying Bai Nian Tang Bao’s Braised Pork!

Bai Nian Tang Bao has received various awards for their remarkable food such as the 4th China Food Festival Golden Award in 2002. It was also named Famous Snack Brand by China Cuisine Association in the same year. In 2005, it was recognized as Shanghai’s ATP Master Reporters and Athletes Designated Food.

The restaurant became an official member of Shanghai’s Xiao Long Bao Association in 2006 and won food competitions like the one in Germany in 2014 and in Shanghai XingShang Channel in 2015. Bai Nian Tang Bao has also been recognized and invited to the Shanghai Tao Zui Food and “Eat the World with Emeril Lagasse”. It was also the representative of Shanghai Xiao Long Bao in Japan’s New Year Festival in 2017. 

Owner Paul Li invites everyone to visit the restaurant, “We are glad to bring authentic Xiao Long Bao to the Philippines and we’d like to invite everyone to visit us here at Uptown BGC to try the Xiao Long Bao that even royalty loved! It’s a Xiao Long Bao experience you surely won’t forget.”  

Bai Nian Tang Bao is known all over the world because of their authentic Shanghainese cuisine, especially their one-of-a-kind Xiao Long Bao. Now, Bai Nian Tang Bao has opened its doors for us Filipinos to experience Chinese cuisine from original recipes that have stood the test of time and are fit for emperors.  

Vivo steps up its AI features in X21

Tweet

The world is now entering an era of artificial intelligence where most smartphones, if not all, are equipped with AI features that helps enhance the user experience.

One of the most basic uses of AI technology in mobile devices is through photography. The Vivo brand for example has been well-known for the way it revolutionized the selfie game.  In Vivo X21, the brand augmented how users take selfies with the AI Face Beauty and the AI Selfie Lighting.

Vivo’s AI Face Beauty feature can identify the subject’s sex, skin tone, and surrounding lighting environment to create the ideal settings, which are eventually based on the user’s habits and preferences.

But what really makes it stand out is that this feature collected almost a million facial images from people all over the world to create an AI database so its algorithms can accurately detect the age, gender, and skin tone of users in different countries. This provides each user with the most appropriate beauty effects also based on specific market habits and culture.

TechPinas' mark Milan Macanas, in fact affirmed that the feature renders a more natural result. "With this technology from Vivo, your selfies will be beautified, but at the same time, you still look like your selfies," he said at the launch of the Vivo X21 on June 21. 

To give more impact to the selfies, Vivo X21 also has AI Selfie Lighting that processes light accents authentically. It does by identifying the different parts of the face so the X21 can fill light, adjust sharpness, enhance shadows, and apply filters. The user can choose among a range of light accent effects like Studio Light, Stereo Light, and Monochrome Background to enhance that perfect shot.

Aside from its selfie capabilities, the front camera also has a new infrared module to help user to recognize faces even in dark situations. Now enhanced by AI, Vivo X21’s AI Face Access can intelligently detect ambient light intensity and ensure fast and accurate unlocking at night.

Vivo X21’s AI Photography, moreover, is improved with the AI HDR and the AI Scene Recognition.

With just a single press of the shutter, Vivo X21’s AI HDR captures more frames of a wider dynamic range than previously possible with existing HDR technology. This provides more image options for merging to perfectly light all the parts of the eventual photo to render crisper results.

The AI Scene Recognition, meanwhile, goes beyond the night, sports, vibration or backlit scenarios. It can also detect and identify 18 tags and 140 scenarios such as portraits, food, and plants. It is activated using Vivo’s AI algorithm based on a large database of almost one million photos. Through this database, the Vivo X21 can detect different scenarios and adjust settings such as saturation, sharpness, and brightness.

Also during the launch of the Vivo X21 on june 21, Gadgetmacth's Daniel Moral praised this AI feature in helping a user sort out of the photos taken.

"Vivo X21 has more scene detections than any other phones in the market. There is an album dedicated called AI Image Identification, so you go there then it sorts out by selfies, by documents, by food, and by people," he said.

Vivo’s newest flagship also uses AI technology to enhance its processor. Named AI Smart Engine, the Vivo X21 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE) which can effectively utilize CPU resources for complex AI processes.

The AI Smart Engine, moreover, also familiarizes itself with user preferences and predicts different usage scenarios to launch and switch apps faster for a seamless user experience.

The AI Smart Engine is further amplified by the AI Game Mode. The Vivo X21 knows it when you play games and transforms into a dedicated game console with features to help eliminate distraction. For instance, the Background Calls feature means you can stay on calls without stopping the game, and AI Game Mode prevents accidental touch operations, ensuring you only make the moves you intended.

With all these AI-powered capabilities, Vivo X21 proves that its priority is making smartphone experience a pleasure to every user.

The Vivo X21 is available for only 29,999 Pesos. It is retailed at authorized shops nationwide. The list of participating stores can be found on this link: http://vivoglobal.ph/x21_stores/.
