Hainrihi's Discoveries

Can you feel the heat? We know we can and it is sizzling HOT!

When it comes to Japanese food, my favorites are sushi and salmon. Whenever there are buffets or we eat in a Japanese restaurant, we make sure that Marc and I get these two. One of the dishes that we would love to try is a salmon cake. Well, looks like we will be able to try that, thanks to Salmon HQ. 

Since summer is now here and the sweltering heat is coming, Salmon HQ has the perfect summer food for everyone: their famous Salmon Sashimi Cake and Tuna Sashimi Cake. Not only is salmon good for the heart but also good for the body, since it is considered a healthy food. 

Salmon contains a specific type of unsaturated fat called omega-3 fatty acids, which lower your risk of dying from heart disease according to Mayo Clinic. The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon help keep your heart healthy by protecting the health of your blood vessels.

Tuna, on the other hand, is a lean source of protein. It also contains iron, potassium, and vitamin B. In addition, tuna is an excellent source of selenium, a trace mineral that acts as an antioxidant and may reduce your risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Sashimi contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids that are good for both the brain and health. They help in lowering your cholesterol in the bloodstream, as well as promote good eyesight. Omega-3 fatty acids also stimulate the brain so it can work properly.

These three combined makes Salmon HQ the perfect go-to place for your summer eats. You get to taste something delicious and healthy for both your brain and your body. For us, that’s a win-win situation!

Salmon HQ offers the best sushi bake this side of the Metro. What sets them apart from the rest is you can still indulge in their sushi bake without worrying about your health. They can easily replace the rice they use with cauliflower rice, which is perfect for customers who are mindful of their weight or are trying to lose weight without spending a lot.

Recognized by Our Awesome Planet, Salmon HQ’s different sushi bake is definitely food for the gods. If you are feeling adventurous, try out their Aburi Baked Scallop Baked Sushi or their Takoyaki Baked Sushi. Trust us: you won’t regret it as it will be the experience of a lifetime.

To order, message them on their Facebook Page.

PS. Salmon is also the perfect food to have during lent so make sure to order yours soon.

I’m not into sweets, but I do love chewy cookies that give soft textures and fruity tastes. I also like the unique ones, just like the ones from Fet Boys. 

Chef Kirk Ngo of Fet Boys is indeed a trailblazer. After making the first ever Coffee Butterscotch Cookie, he is now launching his newest creation: the Prettier than Pink Cookies. 

Derived from Ruby Chocolate, the Prettier than Pink cookie is the first of its kind. Ruby Chocolate is the fourth type of chocolate that is accepted as "real chocolate." It is derived from Ruby Cacao beans, which give a natural pink color. 

What makes Ruby Chocolate unique is its taste, which is characterized by fruity notes and a pink color that is all-natural. After Dark, Milk, and White chocolates, Ruby is the newest chocolate in the market and it is about to become the next big thing.

In 2020, Chef Kirk of Fet Boys launched his Too Much Chocolate Chip Cookies that were as big as a regular guy’s palm---and it was a hit!. In the last quarter of 2020 alone, he made over 5000 pieces of his giant creation.

He also invented the Coffee Butterscotch Cookie and this was an instant hit to all coffee lovers because it is best paired with their favorite morning drink: a cup of joe. However, what truly sets apart the Fet Boys cookie is that it is best eaten chilled. Unlike other cookies that are tastier when heated, the Fet Boys cookies are even better after being chilled in the ref. 

So grab these sweet cookies and have them as desserts after a delicious meal. If you like to know more about the Prettier than Pink Cookies and other sweets, visit the Fet Boys FB page today. 

Two of the things that Filipinos truly love are food and being with people. After all, delicious food and great company are two of life’s simplest pleasures.

Manila Restaurant Week is an event under the “Manila, Support Local” Campaign, launched by the Bureau of Permits and City Government of Manila.

Around 80 restaurants will be offering prix fixe menus at affordable prices during the event.

Launched on September 15, The Manila Hotel played one of the hosts of the multi-venue simultaneous kick-off, which was live streamed on social media platforms. The other hosts were Bayleaf Hotel, Lucky China Town Mall, and Robinsons Place Ermita. The virtual launch was marked by an online performance of Lea Salonga, who sang her new single, “Dream Again,” which is the official theme song of the campaign.

“I believe we can do a lot in restoring the City of Manila back to its former glory under the leadership of Mayor Isko Moreno. We in the private sectors will always support you in this very worthwhile undertaking. Soon, Manila will be great again.” said Atty. Joey Lina, The Manila Hotel President, in his opening remarks during the launch.

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Vice Mayor Honey Lacuña gave their respective speeches before checking the 11 restaurants that showcased their dishes at The Manila Hotel’s Roma Salon—namely Café IlangIlang, Century Park Hotel, Scorched, Golden Fortune, Luneta Park Hotel, Ilustrado, Tanabe, Jus & Jerrys, Patio de Conchita, Pares Kimchi, and Harbor View—and visiting the other venues, which was watched by thousands via live stream.
