Dining Review

Shangri La #LobbyLoungeLuxe

I have a long standing love affair with Shangri La Makati. 

I enjoy Sunday brunch at Shang Palace. I enjoy tea in the lobby lounge. I love the close proximity to everything in Makati. Whenever Nino and I have time to kill in Makati you can find us in one of two places. Of course, Makati Shang is one of them.

I have written about the Jewelry Boxes  when I visited with my friend Jackie and her lovely daughter in the Lobby Lounge before. Patty and Aencille from Shangri La explained the idea behind the afternoon tea treats, and we enjoyed ourselves, by indulging in both savory and sweet treats all afternoon, while catching up with girl time chikka.

Earlier this week, I was invited back to the Lobby Lounge, where it all began for me and Nino, to learn more about how my favored afternoon Jewelry boxes got an upgrade to exemplify #LobbyLoungeLuxe.

I think the Pink Crab Meat Canape was my favorite savory treat on this particular day.

For the month of March, Makati Shangri La Lobby Lounge has partnered with Rajo Laurel and Jewelmer to bring a new level of luxury to the already enjoyable afternoon tea box.

Chocolate and Pralines are not sacrificed in the newest rendition of the Tea & Treasures afternoon tea box. Can you spot the South Sea Pearl Ring by the Executive Pastry Chef?

The addition of the WHITE Jewelry box, which features pastries, tea sandwiches, canapes and pralines still comes with your choice of many teas to be served while being serenaded by The Manila String Machine.

What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon…having tea and being serenaded.

This alternate form of music accompaniment is not only refreshing, but fun. The new take on trending pop music played by eight instrumentalists is lighter, less serious, and can even get some of the lobby lounge guests shimmying in their seats.

I took note of this couple and snapped a creepy stalker photo. I just thought they were the cutest. Occasionally, you would see the two of them chair dancing and getting excited when a song would come on that they really liked. It was sweet and endearing. I imagine when Nino and I get on in our years, and the kids all have their own families that we could be this couple, having afternoon tea where it began so many years ago…

I was pleasantly surprised to run into an acquaintance while we were enjoying our afternoon tea. Jean Moberg is the beautiful momma of a young lady I had the pleasure of working with a few years ago for a commercial. Her daughter Alida, played my pretend daughter in a two day shoot for a milk product. It was a wonderful experience peppered with quite a few “firsts” for me, and I remember Jean and her family vividly because they were friendly, fun, and her husband was American. 

It was so nice to see Jean, to catch up, and to hear how her daughter Alida was doing.

It was so nice to see Jean, to catch up, and to hear how her daughter Alida was doing.

Through our quick catch up conversation, I learned that Jean and her husband’s business is in boxes and packaging. In fact, her company is the company that came up with the design of the Shangri-La Jewelry Tea Boxes! How awesome is that?

Each #LobbyLoungeLuxe Jewelry box is served with the executive pastry chef’s take on the jewels of the sea.

Even more exciting is the fact that with each order of your #LobbyLoungeLuxe  Jewelry Box with sweet treats and savory sammies comes a chance to win two pieces of art. At the end of the month, Shangri La Makati will draw one winner who will receive the honor of taking home one piece from Rajo Laurel and one bauble from Jewelmer. If that’s not a reason to take the afternoon off for high tea, I’m not sure what is.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
