Filipino Food in Dublin

Posted by msquareone.com on Thursday, March 1st, 2007 @ 6:19 pm in Personal - International.


First, some background info:  My family and I moved to Dublin, Ireland from Los Angeles last November.  (Work reasons.)  Back in LA, we're quite spoiled in terms of availability of Filipino food, restaurants, heck, even concerts from artists and bands from back in the Philippines are a dime a dozen back home.

But now, we're in quite a different situation where the stuff that reminds us of home are really hard to find.  Here in Dublin, there are two Pinoy stores (Alto in city centre, and Sari-Sari in Dun Laoghaire where I live) that I know of.  Plus, I hear there's one Filipino restaurant named Bahay Kubo somewhere close to the city, in Ballsbridge I believe.

Something tells me that I'll be a regular there.  I'll post my own review once I get to visit the place, but for now, here's something from Fodors:

Don't always believe what you read. The very basic English translations on the menu fail miserably to capture the excitement and diversity of the dishes at Ireland's only Philippine restaurant. Persevere and you'll find a fine selection of authentic Philippine cooking with touches of Chinese and Malaysian cuisines. Chicken, beef, and prawns all feature heavily, with red-curry chicken in coconut milk the most popular choice with regulars. Desserts have been brought in frozen, so it's best to stick to starters and entrées and finish up with a coffee. The starched white linen and pale-wood flooring give the place an open and light feel. Reservations essential. AE, MC, V. Closed Mon. No lunch Sat.-Wed.

Bloomfields

The Bloomfields is a group I stumbled upon while watching Philippine music videos on YouTube.  They have a Beatles, shaggy-haired style and perform mostly 50's music.

In this Corner of the Universe, Sandara Park versus ABS- CBN

Posted by CelebritiesCorner on Thursday, March 1st, 2007 @ 10:00 am in Entertainment.


Nagrereklamo na si Sandara Park na wala na siyang project sa ABS-CBN at pati na ang kaniyang boyfriend na si Joseph Bitangcol.

Kseh naman sikat siya sa love team niyang si Hero Angeles nang biglang magdemand siyang palitan ang kaniyang love team dahil nag-aaway sila.

Ang natatandaan ko tinulungan pa ni Cristy Fermin noon na bigyan ng bad publicity si Hero at ipromote ang Joseph- Sandara love team sa The Buzz dahil mas love niya si Joseph. Argh

Kaya yang love na yan pakihuli hane. Kseh may mga artistang hindi napaghihiwalay ang reel at real love affair na dapat sundin ang gusto ng fans kung gusto nilang manatiling sikat. Pakisalaksak sa isip yan ng mga hindi pa sikat na ta-artits anoh.

Kahit si Guy at Pip nagkaroon din ng effect ang kamatayan ng kanilang love team sa popularidad ni Papa Tirso.


A product of the first Star Circle Quest kung saan runner-up siya ni Hero Angeles, accepted ng Korean star na wala na ang init niya 'tulad ng dati. Tanggap niya na ring may mga bagong sulpot na stars sa ABS Star Magic wards na mas sikat, so sila ang nabibigyan ng priorities.

In this Corner of the Universe, Claudine Barreto versus Judy Ann Santos

OY, huwag ninyo akong kulitin. Hindi ko sila pinag-aaway. Pareho ko silang peyborit.
Kaya lang naproclaim na Miss Box Office Queen si Claudine Barreto,

kasama si Kris Aquino.

Tabla sila mga mama dahil sa kanilang pelikulang Sukob.

Ang hindi ko talaga maintindihan ay bakit ang isang foundation (Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc.(GMMSFI)) ang magdedecide kung sino ang dapat itanghal na Box Office Greats at bakit kailangang pagbotohan pa.

Di ba kung sino yong palaging dinudumog ng tao ang pelikula ang siyang box office winners. Di lang sa isang pelikula kung hindi sa lahat ng pelikula, magkakasama?

Nagtatanong lang ako mga kababayan, kababaryo, kabarangay, kanayon, kapitbahay. Kung may mageesplika kailangan samahan ng kape. Samahan na rin tuloy ng sandwich. Make it peanut butter, will ya?
