Blackbeard's Seafood Island: Seafood Galore!

This was my first time at Blackbeard's Seafood Island at Harbor Point and  "Bonding" together with my friends who lived far from Metro Manila proved very exciting. 

It was their grand opening and everybody celebrated the Seafood Bonding Extreme.

I was able to try one of their best selling Boodle Feasts, "PANLASANG PINOY", (3-4 persons at P875.00)-(5-6 persons at P1,365) which includes Hipon sa Aligue, Sinuglaw, Ginataang Alimango, Adobong Manok, Kare-Kareng Gulay, Ensaladang Lato, and Plain Rice.

How about trying their best Pica-Pica, the 'CALAMARES FRITOS', that cost only P185.00 per serving. Even when cool, it doesn't lose its crunch. 

Their dishes are 100% fresh ensuring high quality in taste and flavor. And the way they design and present each Boodle Feast... EXCELLENT!

You too can experience this Seafood Bonding Extreme by simply going to your nearest branch, ka-Momsie...

OMF Literature Inc.: "We Publish by the Book"

ONE OF OMF's BEST SELLERS...

Have you heard about Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF) Literature? It is a bookstore located at 776 Boni Ave cor Pinatubo St. 1550 Mandaluyong City Metro Manila, Philippines.

 

I was given a chance to attend OMF's Bloggers Night event and I was able to meet Mr. Aleks Tan, one of the speakers of the said event. He explained to us the different reasons why we read: to escape, to experience and to enrich ourselves. We read to life transformation, to inspire lives and most especially to encounter God by reading the Bible.

OMF's best selling book, "The Purpose Driven Life", a paperback format written by Rick Warren. This is one of my favorite books, but honestly, I wasn't aware that it was published by OMF. LOL. I just learned when Mr. Tan mentioned it.

Now, they want to introduce their literary pieces in E-Book format for easy access. Ebooks are delivered almost instantaneously. You can purchase, download and start reading them within minutes, without leaving your chair. You don't have to go to a bookstore to buy them, neither will you have to wait for them for days, weeks and sometimes even more to arrive in the mail. With today's technology, you can read E-Books everywhere, on the bus, train, airplane, or while standing in line.

 

After knowing about using E-Book on the Internet, I had fun doing different activities with OMF's different authors. I was able to meet OMF's best writers, like Grace Chong ("What Me Retire!"), Marlene Legaspi-Munar ("Add Mo Ko As Friend"),  Robert Magnuson ("Porcupirate"), Ruth Chang ("How To Win Your Child's Heart"), Malu Tiongson-Ortiz ("My Child Special Needs"), Nelson Dy ("How to Mend a Broken Heart"), and  Ronald Molmisa of ("Lovestruck").

They were all nice and awesome!

My favorite part of the event is getting to know the author of "Si Joey at ang Gulay Gang" and that's Beng Alba, to whom I was really thankful for because through her book, my son is now a "Vegetable Fanatic". LOL. She was also one of the speakers of the event.

I was so lucky that I was able to experience this wonderful and meaningful event because this encouraged me to read more and it made me realize what life can really offer to a person like me. How about you, ka-Momsie? Have you tried reading their books and E-Books? Try to experience it and it will definitely help you in dealing with people from different walks of life.

For my next post, ka-Momsie, I will introduce to you the different authors, their achievements and contributions. Maybe they can also inspire you into the world of writing. Stay tuned!

Blackbeard's Seafood Island: "Seafood, Sarap, Saya!"

It's only normal for us to celebrate life with  friends and family by going to karaoke bar, swimming, travelling, etc... But one thing we always do is enjoy each other's company while enjoying a great   meal in a restaurant, or what I like to call, "RESTO+FOOD+BONDING".

Well, how about taking that to the extreme? A “Seafood Bonding Extreme,” to be exact, in Blackbeard’s Seafood Island!

Celebrating 8 years of Seafood Bonding, BSI has opened its 22nd store in Robinsons Magnolia, and they have invited us to experience a unique innovation of casual dining that will meet customer’s satisfaction in a most extravagant way: The first, the original…Boodle Feast!

Oh, and what a feast it is! They provide us with a wide array of their Island-Inspired Filipino dishes in a setting that is perfect for sharing and promotes a literal "BONDING" experience like eating directly from the same big banana leaf-lined boodle tray, where authentic and freshly cooked food is uniquely laid out and eating with one's hand is encouraged. Whether in developing its menu or styling its store design, BSI always tries to stay true to its core values of Seafood, Sarap, Saya.

                                               MT. APO

By the way, this Boodle Feast is called Mt. Apo, and it’s one of the best Boodle Feasts for me, ka-Momsie. For only P1,650.00 (5-6persons),
"Mapapa-kamay ka talaga" because of the complete variants of their menu, from grilled chicken and pork to different kinds of seafood. It's really mouthwatering, especially the way they presented and arranged the food.

                                                        PINOY NACHOS 

One of their bestsellers, under Island's PICA-PICA, the PINOY NACHOS. This is a different kind of Nachos. Super thin but super crunchy, and super yummy because of the ripe mango tidbits, for only P165.00.

                                                                                                     

                                     TALI BEACH

I didn’t have the opportunity to take a good look at the TALI BEACH Boodle Feast when I first saw it during my birthday (TY Alex!). During this event, I got another chance, and I took advantage. Staring at it made me imagine being in the beach with my friends and enjoying freshly grilled seafood with sliced watermelon and green mangoes. One of my friends was telling me, “Pwede bang no touch at ipa-laminate ko na lang”? LOL.

                                          CHANG'S CHINA CHOW
The next time I visit BSI, I'll make sure to try this one. "View pa lang, katakam-takam na. What more pa kaya the quality of taste...?" Yum, yum, yum.
.

You've never really "Bonded" until you've celebrated with a BSI Boodle Feast. A get-together with a Boodle Feast is sure to be a most memorable celebration of your life. And also the kind that makes for "photo moments" and "FB Posts".

How can you even resist of going to a place like this, ka-Momsie? For a real "BONDING" moment?
BSI is the perfect place to be.
