In what is probably our best foodie date yet, our 2nd anniversary food date is one for the favorites list! Will definitely go for Ooma again...and will probably sneak some of that delicious Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory treat every now and then. 😂 I miss writing restaurant reviews so I'll probably write for these two restaurants shortly. Up next, a trip down south, to her paradise. 🙂 #FoodieDate #TheGeekAndTheGirl #JapaneseCuisine #Ooma #TokyoMilkCheeseFactory #Steak #Sushi #IceCream #Cheesecake #Cheese #AnnivMonth #MegaFashionHall #SMMegamall

Pound By Todd English Opens Second Branch at Mega Fashion Hall

With the success of their first branch in Bonifacio High Street, Pound by Todd English is expanding its reach into Metro Manila with the opening of their second outlet, this time at the more accessible SM Megamall. I have passed by their BGC restaurant a couple of times before but had never been able to try their gorgeous-looking burger creations yet since I do not usually linger around that area. But now, this gourmet burger joint has opened a new place much closer to the city so that more diners can enjoy their mouthwatering but very affordable specialties.

Pound by Todd English is a spin-off from the highly successful Todd English Food Hall which opened at the SM Aura Premier in 2014. It was one of the first celebrity chef restaurants in Manila which led the way to the opening of many other celebrity chef-inspired establishments in the city. With the success of Todd English Food Hall, the local owners of this collaboration - FooDee Global Concepts, decided to expand the restaurant by spinning off its famous burger creations into their own brand. Gourmet burgers are now easily within reach as Pound launches its second outlet located on the second floor of SM Mega Fashion Hall.

The SM Megamall branch actually has two separate areas with the open kitchen and a 16-seater dining space located near the elevators. This small area has a more rustic and sophisticated tone similar to its first branch which opened last year at Bonifacio High Street. Consider this as their private VIP dining room where you can see the chefs preparing all the specialties.

The other larger dining space is located just a few steps away in the middle of the shopping lanes with a brighter and more casual ambiance. This is where my friends and The Hungry Kat were hosted by FooDee Group Marketing Head Ariane Valinton who showed us all the amazing appetizers, gourmet burgers and side dishes that you can find at Pound by Todd English.

We started our culinary adventure with the Truffle Fries (P160) and its well seasoned house-cut potato fries cooked with truffle oil. I could can smell the truffle flavors even before the servers placed it on our table. Good thing she put it down near me because I really enjoyed picking on these crunchy delectable fries which are also served with truffle ketchup. This first appetizer is already a winner!

Those who like their fries on the wet side should order the Bacon Poutine (P210) instead with its fresh cut fries, cheese, and house cured bacon drenched with home made gravy on top. This is how the Canadians like their fries and it has made its way to a lot of restaurants here as well.

For a healthier alternative, try the Crispy Goat Cheese Salad (P150) which has fresh mixed greens, baby heirloom tomatoes and deep fried goat cheese ravioli sprinkled in raspberry vinaigrette. I’m not really a salad lover so I had to skip this to make room for the other more interesting starters.

These are the other appetizers and side dishes I prefer. The Onion Cubed (P90) is Pound’s take on the classic onion rings raised to the third power. This huge onion brick is deep fried to perfection and comes with a sweet savory sauce. Imagine this big serving for just P90? That’s one of the best deals you can find in the city.

You can really smell the truffle in the air at Pound by Todd English and they offer other truffle specialties like the Truffle French Beans (P120) and the Truffle Risotto Tater Tots (P75). These bite-sized appetizers and side dishes are so good to nibble on while waiting for your main orders to arrive.

The more adventurous diners can also try the Fried Pickles (P75) and Pickled Chilis (P75) to add to your burgers later on or just to keep your taste buds ready.

But the best and most highly recommended item that you should get is definitely the Roasted Bone Marrow (P130). I could not believe that they were selling this for only P130? I have ordered this at other less outstanding restaurants for double to triple that amount. This big chunk of fatty goodness is soooo good with its melt-in-your-mouth bone marrow topped with garlic bits. I loved it so much that I ordered a second serving for myself. I would have gone for more but my doctor would not be too happy about that.

Pound by Todd English also offers a good selection of beverages including sodas, iced tea, imported beers and more to go with these indulgent dishes. If you want something special, go for the Fortant Chardonnay (P270) with its cute bottle holding this 2014 French white wine.

Now it’s time for the main event, the burgers! One of the most popular items at Todd English Food Hall is their Amsterdam Burger (P280) and this is still one of the stars here at Pound. This mouthwatering burger comes with their house ground beef patty plus fried onions, gruyere, sauekraut, relish, T.E. sauce, and a big slice of pastrami in between their toasted homemade brioche bun. I really liked the beefy and smoky quality of their burger which is even better than other burger joints of the same or higher price levels. It is also not too oily or greasy for me. This is how a real burger should taste like.

There are several add-ons you can order to include in your burger like the Seared Foie Gras (P250). It may be a bit pricey but I will never back away from Foie Gras. You can also add cheese, fried egg, bacon, or more beef patties to your delicious burger if you wish.

But if you are really going for the gold, or celebrating a special occasion, then order the most premium item on the menu - the Pound Foie Gras Burger!

The Pound Foie Gras Burger (P700) comes with their house ground beef patty, tomato, iceberg lettuce, crispy and caramelized onions, mustard relish, T.E. sauce, and most importantly, 50 grams of Seared Foie Gras on top of Foie Gras Mousse. Now that is one indulgent burger.

The patty itself for the Pound Foie Gras Burger is almost double the size of the regular burgers. Of course, this half-pound monster is what I ordered for myself because I could not resist having foie gras on top of foie gras. It might not be a burger you can order everyday but it still offers great value compared to the other foie gras burgers from other restaurants.

If you are just passing by for a quick snack, the Bacon and Egg Sliders (P200) might be more appropriate. These two baby burgers come with house-cured bacon, apple aioli and a quail egg on a toasted homemade brioche bun. These would be easy to bring back to the office so you can secretly eat it without being caught by your officemates or the boss.

Pound is also introducing a new pasta item to their menu this month. The Pound Pomodoro comes with roasted garlic pomodoro sauce, confit garlic bulbs and herbed bread crumbs. But the best thing about visiting Pound at SM Megamall this April is that they are offering their $1 Menu Deals from April 1 to 30, 2017. Imagine getting the Pound Pomodoro, Truffle Fries, Onion Blossom, and T.E. Slider for only P50 each! That is definitely a great reason to drop by SM Mega Fashion Hall.

To cap off our hearty lunch, we ended our burger adventure with the T.E. Sundae which is surprisingly the only dessert on the menu. But it doesn’t really matter because I also loved this sweet and cold sundae that has two scoops of Vanilla ice cream topped with Betty White and OMG brownies then sprinkled with caramel and chocolate sauce plus rock salt.

Pound by Todd English is a more accessible and friendly restaurant serving the favorites from Todd English Food Hall at affordable prices. I was really surprised with their offerings and Pound has turned out to be one of the best high quality burger joints that I can recommend for everyone. I haven’t even tried one of their other specialties, the T.E. Crispy Chicken Burger. I’ll be back for that one real soon.

JUMP for your Skin’s Best Years!

The NIVEA Skin Firmness Check Mega Fashion Hall Invasion

When our main girl ‘Tey Tey’ Swift made the whole world sing to the anthem of not caring about anything because she’s feeling 22, we sure did get our vibe up for her. But of course, we can’t be forever 22 as much as we’d like to kid ourselves. As age kicks in, as early as our 20s, our skin starts to lose its firmness, making today the best time to start caring for our skin, to keep it firmer for longer.

With this in mind, NIVEA, the world’s no.1 skin care brand, gave women a fun and creative way to check the firmness of their skin. Dubbed as the NIVEA Skin Firmness Check, the brand amped-up the entire SM Megamall Fashion Hall recently, to enable them to live out their skin’s best in an event full of fun, music, and a lot of jumping!

Throughout the day, guests were treated to a fun way of checking the firmness of their skin through a bungee trampoline, outfitted with high-speed cameras to capture how the skin moves as they jump. Using a motion-tracking technology, guests were shown a creative visualization of the skin’s movement to illustrate the firmness of the skin – the less movement, the firmer the skin is.

“Our skin starts losing firmness at age 20, and so NIVEA thought of this creative way to engage younger women and help them realize the need to start achieving and maintaining the skin’s best years. By letting our consumers know about the possible factors and habits that may affect their skin, we are giving them the chance to start achieving their skin’s best years,” says Jamie Sanico, Senior Brand Manager of NIVEA Body.

To further educate women on skin firmness, guests were made to assess their lifestyle through the NIVEA Skin Firmness Habit Check that revealed the habits that influence the skin’s firmness – from lack of sleep, not enough water intake, exposure to UV rays and pollution, smoking and many other factors. Talk about being every woman’s best skin care partner!

It was truly a wonderful event that firmed-up NIVEA’s position as the best skin care in achieving skin’s best years. The NIVEA white and firm range, which includes the NIVEA Extra White Firming Body Serum SPF33 provides not just fairer but firmer and smoother skin too. Extra White Firming Body Serum SPF33, with its light and non-sticky formula, contains 95% pure Vitamin C to provide radiant and fairer skin tone and firming ingredient Q10 that helps firm skin and restore its elasticity. The amazing result? Noticeably more radiant, whiter, smoother and firmer skin in just 14 days.

Another espanya-inspired restaurant in the metro. Everyone greeted us “Gracias.” I replied, “De Nada.”

Yeah, I know a little Spanish. I studied 6units of espanyol back in college. Haha! 😅

By the way, the food is okay.
